The Escape Game San Francisco: Fisherman’s Wharf is set right next to delicious dining, endless entertainment, and of course, the beautiful views of the bay! A few of our favorite places to eat include Boudin, Grandeho's Kamekyo, and Pizza Zone. Of course, you can’t hang out in the Bay Area without grabbing some Ghirardelli. We recommend stopping by their on-the-go counter for a celebratory (or consolation) sundae!

Games are recommended for ages 13 and up. Younger players are allowed, but some of the game content may be too difficult for them. An adult, 18 or older, must participate with anyone that is 14 and under. Also, any participants under the age of 18 will need an adult to sign their waiver.
You will be in a room with a locked door, but every door is equipped with an exit button. Should you feel the need to leave the room, you are welcome to do so at any time.
Each game is designed for one hour of intense fun! Plan to spend 15 minutes prior to each game preparing and briefing for your mission, and 15 minutes after each game to debrief and take photos.
The Escape Game experiences are very different from what you typically see in other escape rooms. These games aren't scary or dark. They are exciting, adventurous, and something all guests can enjoy.
Unless you book all the spots in a game, our games have the potential to be shared experiences, which means others could book into your game and join your team.
Cancellation Policy
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
What To Expect
In this escape room, The year is 1962. You’ve been wrongfully accused of a crime, and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Your new “home” is a cell that once belonged to an inmate who disappeared without a trace…or did he? Some claim he escaped. Others swear he was murdered by the infamously cruel warden. But no one actually knows… can you escape before you suffer the same fate? Here’s how it works: You and your team will work together to find clues, solve puzzles, and ultimately escape before the warden returns. Escaping will require teamwork, communication, wits, a sense of adventure, and most importantly: YOU! Once you arrive for your game, a dedicated game guide will take you on to your adventure and help you as needed. You will have exactly 60-minutes to complete the mission in your adventure and escape.

5.00Rated 9/10, more like 7 for experienced escape roomers. Some cool puzzles, group separates but has to work together which was cool, some stuff that isn’t just brain work. Great room.
Fun!

5.00Great experience! The escape room was not too easy to blow past it quickly and the rooms were long enough to take the hour. Elio was a great host nudged us in the right direction during the room.
A smart good time
