At The Escape Game Roseville, you and up to seven teammates get 60 minutes to solve a story-driven mission. Choose Cosmic Crisis, Timeliner, Special Ops, The Heist, or The Depths. Guides such as Ryan, Bre, and Connie offer hints when needed, and the experience runs in English.

“This was our second visit and we had a blast. We came to celebrate a birthday. Their team set up a few balloons in the room which was a sweet surprise. Ryan was our host today, and he was very patient. At one point, we got ahead of the game, and was pretty lost. He helped pause the clock, and moved a few pieces around to help us backtrack. We got ahead of ourselves, and there was still a few pieces of the puzzle we had to solve before moving forward.”
