Long overdue but had my friends and I try their Scarlet Haunting Escape Room a couple weeks back and the experience was amazing! Being a first timer at escape rooms,... read more the creators provided enough background and instruction on what I should expect. The escape room itself was really interesting and really pushed myself and my friends to think and it kept us on our toes the entire hour and a half it took us to finish! Shared some laughs, some scares and ultimately I could say the price was well worth the experience. Left the place fully satisfied and can't wait to recommend this to others! Being local to the Bay, there are few escape rooms so having this in downtown San Jose was very convenient. Can't wait for the future projects of this company!

  Booked scarlet haunting for 2 on a weekday night. We called to let them know we were going to be a few minutes late. Parking at the park was free... read more after 6pm and only took like 3 minutes to walk to the escape room. The GM was waiting to let us into the building and up the stairs.

Long was our GM who explained the types of locks you might encounter, shouldn't take more than 2 fingers of touch to open, don't stand on furniture, etc. They had two bathrooms to use and also offered us hand sanitizer and gloves to use. Long did explain there may or may not be a live actor - part of the thrill factor in not knowing.

We thought the room flowed well and we escaped with 6 mins left and only used one hint. I'm not a fan of spooky but this was fine since I had a friend with me. I actually thought this element was a nice touch to the whole pressure of escaping within the hour. The room wasn't lock heavy which is nice and had some unique puzzles. Atmosphere of the room added to the spookiness, especially the very dim lighting.

One thing my friend and I did mention to the GM was their waiver form had the old name of the room still. Also unless we missed it but we felt like we didn't get an ending to the storyline.

Hope they open another room so we can play that one too !

  As someone who has played over 100 escape rooms, I can safely say that The Scarlet Haunting is the spooky thriller room that that Bay Area needs.

Featuring some really... read more good ambiance, great puzzle flow, and a subtly eerie story that that draws from Asian style horror and one of my favorite blacklight puzzles in recent memory this room is well worth its price tag.

Those expecting tons of technology will be disappointed as its mainly lock and key however do not let that stop you from sampling this room as a lot of care went into the lighting and sound design presented. They are some generally creepy moments that put us on edge unsure on how to continue and its rather impressive how they got so much out of so little.

  Done over 25+ escape rooms in the Bay Area. Really enjoyed the Scarlet Haunt room as it had a good balance between puzzles and spookiness. Our GM was very helpful... read more in keeping us on the right track. Got to speak with the staff afterwards and they were all very friendly. Will be back for the future rooms!

  Have done a good amount of escape rooms all throughout the Bay Area. Came to try out the Scarlet Haunt room and it was great!!! I'm a jumpy person but... read more really enjoy horror themed things and this fit the theme. I was super tense and the anticipation and stress was real (IN A GOOD WAY, OF COURSE). The game masters gave great clues and led us to the right direction when we needed the assistance. If you need a fun spooky season activity then try this one out with your friends/family. Will definitely be back for more once they create more rooms! Thanks for the fun Sunday, Get away Games! 🙂
