Xcapade, Escape Room Review

Xcapade

Hayward, California

Lost Kingdom: Distorted Truth: Trapped in an Ancient Egyptian tomb, our group had to decipher hieroglyphics and mysterious puzzles to discover the secrets within.

Pros: The set design and puzzles were clearly tied to the archaeological theme. The treasure quest storyline was fun and a nice break from the ubiquitous mysterious office theme of most escape rooms. Pictographic and mechanical puzzles added to the ambiance. The game master was helpful and friendly. This was a good game play experience for experienced players. 

Cons: Puzzles were medium to difficult. Our group struggled to solve the puzzles but progressed fairly well overall. We have been anxiously waiting for the other rooms to re-open (it's been over six months now and still no sign of life). We are ready when you are Xcapade!
