Escape Games at The River

We have been going here 3 years in a row when on vacation. We challenge ourselves with a different room each time. Staff is great, puzzles are challenging and if too challenging, they are there to help. We really enjoyed the new room, Endangered. Different format which made the challenge more open ended. Can't wait for next year and trying a new room at either location.

Absolutely brilliant!. It was my first escape room and I was really worried it would feel claustrophobic. It was so much fun and a great way to hang out with your friends. We solved it with two clues. I did not feel uncomfortable or claustrophobic at all, I felt safe and entertained. I can’t wait to go back and try the other ones. We did the Mutiny skull island and warmly recommend. It’s really clever how they have made it all and the rooms. We were a mixed group of some who have tried it before and some who hadn’t and it was an all-round great experience. We shall be back soon for more fun!

Great escape room. Great experience. Great game masters. All room clues were fully functional and very different from the “lots of padlocks” rooms. I highly recommend. We did the Egyptian Tomb room and loved it. We have now done all the rooms at this location. Looking forward to new ones in the future.

This was the best escape room my husband and I have ever been to! The attention to detail in the rooms—from the clues to the decorations—was incredible. You can truly see how much thought and effort was put into every aspect. The customer service was outstanding as well. We did the pirate-themed escape room, the ending was such a great surprise! I loved the entire experience! We will definitely be coming back to try the other rooms. 10/10!

Our family has done over 60 escape rooms around the world, and we were impressed with the dragon spire room at escape games at the river. The sets were sophisticated and engaging with lots of creative things to look at and explore in order to solve the puzzles. This particular room wasn't among the most challenging we've ever done, but we appreciated that there were creative puzzles to solve. That didn't always involve padlocks or keys. There were some very engaging mechanisms that revealed additional opportunities to solve puzzles and work together as a team. He also appreciated that this room was not entirely linear, so all of us could be busy solving puzzles and looking for clues instead of having to wait around, would be a great room for a larger group. There was plenty of nearby parking, this business is on the second floor and isn't completely obvious when you're pulling up how to get in, but you can quickly find an elevator or stairs to get to the second floor and once there, the space is comfortable and the staff were warm and welcoming. Next time we're in Palm springs will definitely choose to go back and try a few more of the rooms, there were very interesting variety of choices for rooms and a range of difficulties, so there's something for everyone, including people who are just starting out with their first puzzle room.
