This room is easily a disappointment to anyone going in expecting a “Resident Evil Escape Experience”. The rooms there looks MUCH more spacious and it’s unfortunate that the San Francisco version had to be so cramped. Laura Hall (designer of this game) posted pictures from the Los Angeles (we think) version of the Resident Evil Escape Experience. Usually we would send a smaller team, but that’s a hard option to consider given that the per-person price is already high. Especially with the game host in the room as well, there was little space for our team of 6 to navigate. The most frustrating part about the room was the lack of space. Unfortunately the layout is much harder to appreciate given how cramped the puzzling conditions were. The structure and layout of the multiple rooms was impressive, especially given that this was all constructed for just a pop-up experience. The sound effects do contribute to a sense of urgency however. The sound effects however were detached from the game experience and near the end became unnecessarily annoying. The room looked fine and there were various decorations around. We thought that the main puzzle in the first room was unnecessarily frustrating and unforgiving by design. Most of them were the same style and type. The puzzles were neither memorable nor varied. The extent of theming in this room could have been accomplished just fine by a knock-off Resident Evil escape room – there was a lot more potential for this partnership that was untapped. The theming was accomplished by the 1) references to Umbrella Corp 2) various objects that have a memorable presence in the video games (like a VCR tape). We were disappointed in the general theming as fans of Resident Evil VII. Tickets still available in Portland, New York, and Chicago. Find your city at.
