I was not mistaken about choosing this place for my kids. The quality of service they provided was amazing! I am deeply impressed by how they handled their offered activities correctly with no hassles at all. I would definitely recommend and refer your services to everyone without any hesitation. Optimum!

A lot of fun! The puzzles were hard, but still solvable. You occasionally have to think outside of the box for answers, but sometimes you dont have to over analyze the clue to get it. My group completed the Asylum room with only 10 seconds left! So you know its challenging, but you can escape!

If Im rating on how much fun I had, this place gets 5 stars. It was challenging and required a lot of teamwork/communication. Even among some friends of friends I had just met, we were able to get out.One downside was that our game had to be temporarily stopped and the room partially reset because we were able to detach a piece of the room when it wasnt supposed to be (long story).Anyhow, check this place out.

On New Years Eve we wanted to figure out something to do and decided to book The Incredible Machine room. The entrance is only a narrow door on Market, and then you go down some stairs to the waiting room. The host gave us the rules and we were on our way. The room was very professional done and had very clear puzzles to solve. We were successful in escaping with only getting a couple hints (you get unlimited hints). If Im in the area again I would definitely do another escape room by them.

Asylum was the first escape room boyfriend and I ever tried. It was a fun learning experience and after getting three or four hints, the two of us were able to get out in 53 minutes.This escape room establishment says on the website that you may be put in a group with other people if they reserve the same time slot, but luckily that didnt happen to us.We didnt know what to expect since it was our very first, but since trying escape rooms at four or so other places, we know that this is one well go back to so we can try some of the other themes.I dont like when they put red herrings in the rooms, and were left carrying non-puzzle items around, but this room only had a couple of those. Some of the puzzles were more difficult than I would have expected, but maybe in a larger group theyre easier to figure out.I really wish there were more escape rooms in the area that would allow for groups of just two to participate; the way I see it, whats the harm in letting a smaller group try a room? Youll still get their money.

Our group of 5 had an awesome time at Clockwise solving the The Incredible Machine. Our host Jeremy was awesome. We will definitely be back!

My office mates and I did the Paranormal escape room at ClockWise and had such a good time!! Its challenging but do-able - just enough challenge to make sure youre really proud of yourselves at the end. Jeremy was an awesome game master, very enthusiastic! Absolutely recommend it.

We did the Vegas room - it was a little too easy, and the price point is just insanely high at 38 dollars if you’re going to escape much faster. Given how easy that room is, I think the price for it should be much lower

We loved the Asylum! It was pretty difficult but with Jeremys help, we were able to escape with 9 seconds left on the clock. Not bad for my first escape room. Thank you so much Jeremy for making this experience awesome.

My co-workers and I had a blast at ClockWise! Jeremy was engaging and friendly, and The Incredible Machine was so much fun to explore and solve. Thank you for providing us with an unforgettable experience!

We showed up and were greeted by the lovely Jeremy! He was fantastic at explaining the rules and regulations of the game as well as navigating us during the game if we needed clues. This was a great experience, WE did ESCAPE, and I would do another one with Clockwise!

Second room done in this location. Challenging puzzles. Amazing room design. It is something you have to experience to really appreciate. Many times you can see rooms being built with gasps and locks being tacked onto random pieces of furniture or boxes. The Incredible Machine actually taps into your senses to move you through the game. Excellent games, amazing owners and Eric did a great job making our game top notch. We’ll be back for more games!

We played the paranormal experiment room.The room was good overall, with a good mix of puzzles and searching that is the hallmark of the escape game genre. Id describe it as a medium tech room with some puzzles solved via conventional physical means such as padlocks and combination locks, and some solved in more creative ways.Our group found that the mix of the conventional and technological, however, led to some situations where it was unclear if the room should be expected to behave magicallyThe atmosphere of the room was fine, with a darkness element in some parts of the room which was fun at first but, in my opinion, lasted longer than was interestingAlthough the room was meant to appear gross and spooky, I have to note that the room was filthy and grimy, and not in a way that advanced the feel, but made it feel like it is not well maintained. Almost everything in there needs to be washed, (especially those gloves, Gross!).

What a cool experience! We saw their sign on the street and I always wanted to try an escape room. A host greeted us and helped purchase tickets for the nearest game, that happen to be an Incredible Machine room. It has hard enough, but not too tough for a newbie like myself.The puzzles and design exceeded my expectations, they had some tech tech that I’ve never seen before. We escaped with just few seconds left, used only 2 hints and had a great time!

Our group had a very nice experience today! Mimi was helpful and clear and we escaped in 45 minutes!

I found about this company on TripAdvisor while planning my vacation in the US. They are conveniently located in downtown of San Francisco and easy to get there by bus, metro or by foot.We were greeted by a friendly host Monica and were given rules and story of the game promptly.We played Incredible Machine room and had a blast! Room was very well designed, and all the puzzles made sense. There were a lot of audio clues, so you need to listed carefully as the story unfolds.We had a great time and I wish we had more time to try other escape rooms that they have!

This escape room is pretty fun. We did a room that is not too challenging because a few of us were not experienced with escape rooms, but everyone enjoyed it. They gave us hints when we were led down the wrong path. After we finished the room, our hosts came into the room with us and answered any questions we had. It was interesting to see where we wasted time or where we just missed something important because we were overthinking things. The waiting room is also fun with a few games.

Our guide was amazing her name is MiMi. She was super energetic and really contributed to a fun experience!!!

Great room and experience. We did the Vegas party room with just the two of us and it was the right amount of challenging yet solvable.Interesting building that you walk through to get to the room. Good experience overall with our game master Elizabeth.

Our room had a nice steampunk vibe. Well designed and good clues. An overall great experience.

Great experience. The puzzles were challenging. Highly recommend.

Amazing experience, super friendly staff and amazing rooms highly recommend! We did The Asylum 10/10 big thanks to our Game Master to!

My wife and I visited ClockWise as part of our trip to San Francisco. They have 4 games but we picked Party in Vegas game because it was comedy themed. We love fun! We escaped in 52 minutes and had a lot of giggles while playing it. They give unlimited clues if you ask for it, which really helped to enjoy our game. We had a lot of fun!

It is awesome. My friends and I had a very good time and a lot of fun.

Had a blast! We werent smart enough to solve the puzzles.... Mav was our save and grace! We needed way to many hints.

We had so much fun escaping the Asylum! We were shorthanded and had new players on the team, so the friendly staff gave us a few extra much needed minutes to successfully escape! Special thanks to Eric and Monica.

I played all four of their available rooms (as of March 2019) with a group of friends and had a great time. As a player who has over 60 escape rooms done under their belt, finding the wow factor in a game can be tricky but ClockWise knocked it out of the park with their set design and technological integration. While the puzzles themselves were on the more simple side of things, I never felt bored or un-engaged during any of their rooms. The Incredible Machine in particular has some of the coolest set design I have seen anywhere and definitely makes the top of my list of room recommendations. Anyway, dont take my word for it, go experience what they have to offer today and see for yourself!

Well organized, challenging and fun. Great especially when its cold and rainy outside.

Great escape room! Mimi is the best game master!

Great fun time! Jeremey was really fun and helpful and Donna was great too.

Amazing experience! Went there with group of friends couple times and really enjoyed our time there! Puzzles are well thought! We got great assistance throughout the game! Also, there’re a lot of cool old school board games in a lounge room! Overall, would definitely recommend it!

Awesome place - straight out the gate with no experience we did the paranormal experience as rookies - which is one of their hardest rooms - the crew was super helpful - super duper highly recommend this as a must do in the city - park at the metreon parking lot in fifth ave and walk over to the spot - Mav was our game master - he is super awesome - Cheers to him !!!We’re coming back for other groups

Excellent adventure. Staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and good sports about the whole thing! Went with my Mom and two friends, and did all 3 rooms. Tremendously fun time! Big Shout out to Moses and Joseph for killer Customer Interaction. Rooms were fun, difficult (but not impossible), and energizing!

I found this escape room on yelp - I was looking for an escape room in San Francisco. I actually parked my car closer to Harrison because I thought parking would be tough to find here. It was a 10-minute walk.I did the Incredible Machine room with a total of 7 people. We each paid like $36 and booked online. The place is harder to find because there was construction going on next door. You have to be buzzed into the building and walk into a creepy building. But you just have to follow the signs. They made it sound like it was a puzzle that you have to figure out as a prep for the escape room!The room was more of a moderate level in my opinion, possibly because we had so many people on our team. Its listed as expert and only had a 47% pass rate. We finished with 20 minutes to spare though. I liked it because it required more than just the sense of sight. All the escape rooms Ive been to were mostly puzzles, codes, and locks.The lady who helped us was friendly. But I think she was by herself. In the middle of the game, she told us she had to step out for two minutes. But that was also when we needed a hint, so we had to wait until she came back. (Hints are unlimited here, but dont abuse it)Id come back if they listed harder rooms. The Vegas one seems fun, but too many people. I would feel overwhelmed.

Came to celebrate my friends birthday party here and we had a blast! We escaped from Party in Vegas (comedy themed game) in 51 minutes. Our host Monica was a great help, providing clues at the right moment and making sure we are having a good time. Thank you, Clockwise, we will be back for other games!

Not a great experience. You want a hint? Sorry you have to wait 5 minutes because the one person running the whole thing (all the rooms) by themselves left the control room. They also take forever to give you a hint because they have to look it up. You also need to know things like (spoiler alert) zodiac signs to complete the room. Don’t go at night. It’s not a great area. This is not in their control because the bathroom is managed by the building owner but there was no toilet paper and someone stole the soap.They are getting 3 stars because they did give us extra time to complete the room and there are unlimited hints. Honestly, I won’t come back. I’ll pay the extra money to go somewhere else.

We played paranormal experiment and it was lots of fun.

I already did 3rooms out of 4. Each room has its own theme. My friends and I enjoyed our time there. Friendly stuff, interesting puzzles, good decorations..i would definitely recommend Clockwise!

Thanks to Vanilla for a awesome escape room experience! This was definitely my favorite escape room and looking forward to the paranormal experience thats next in sequence in the series offered at this location. Very fun and highly recommend!!!

My wife and I are room escape enthusiasts and have played games around the world. At Clockwise we played Party in Vegas and The Asylum. They were both fantastic! The staff is super friendly, very good at running the games and the location is convenient. Both games has great story lines, really cool puzzles we havent seen before and a logical flow that kept the game fun, interesting and exciting. We will DEFINITELY be coming back to play their other games!!

As an enthusiast that has done around 140 rooms, ClockWise is a company Id go to more likely out of desperation than excitement, but they still host very reasonable games.---Party in Vegas---3 out of 5, but on the higher end. Party in Vegas is an excellent beginner room, which had great theming and multiple fun moments that added to the immersion.Set - It felt like we were in a hotel room after a wild night. There were Vegas-themed props scattered around multiple rooms. The set was pretty basic, but I really liked the theming and how they built the Vegas party vibe.Story - Standard Vegas story, where youve woken up with a hangover with no memories of last night, and lost the wedding ring! Despite not being a particularly creative story, it was fun nonetheless.Puzzles - A lot of physical puzzles, each of which fit surprisingly well with the theme. These were on the easy side of the spectrum with a low level of complexity, but overall above average due to the integration with the set/story.---Asylum---3 out of 5. A small creep factor, and a more difficult room than Party in Vegas.Set - The set definitely felt like an asylum, with its white walls and sparse decorations. There was also a second room involved that had a very distinct vibe. Reasonably well done, but not super memorable from an enthusiast perspective.Story - This had more story than most, and there was a clear progression. I wouldnt call the story unique by any means or even unexpected, but it was there beyond the intro, which is a plus.Puzzles - Above average difficulty, some of the puzzles were multi-layered which I appreciated. There were a couple standard puzzles that Ive seen in multiple rooms mixed in, but overall the puzzles were pretty solid.---Paranormal Experiment---3 out of 5. My least favorite out of the ClockWise rooms, but as a disclaimer, Im not usually a fan of spooky rooms.Set - Sets a spooky ambiance with darkness and fake body parts. There were multiple rooms with distinct sets, but nothing truly stood out. I was fairly unimpressed especially in comparison to Party in Vegas and Incredible Machine, both of which seemed to have much better attention to detail. Also definitely doesnt hold a candle to other horror-themed sets, like those at 13th Gate in Baton Rouge or Hex Room in Anaheim.Story - Whatever story there was, was pretty insignificant.Puzzles - These were actually reasonable, but something was off about the cluing into what you were supposed to be doing at a given time. The puzzles were fairly standard, but they were at least on-theme. There were some neat interactions with set pieces, but nothing that made the puzzles particularly interesting.---Incredible Machine---3 out of 5, but on the higher end. Despite not hitting the memorable/distinctive for an enthusiast mark (required for a 4/5), Incredible Machine was a good quality game with interesting story elements and puzzle integration, and some cool set pieces.Set - There were some really cool set pieces in this room that fit well with the steampunk theme. The multiple rooms didnt have a lot of diversity, but they did have good polish.Story - We uncover a small narrative as we play the game, which involves character interaction thats integrated into the puzzles. The story here was above average and enjoyable.Puzzles - The puzzles fit fairly well with the theme and story, some of them involving unique tech. This made the game cohesive, which I appreciated.

Great experience, Vanilla was very welcoming and helpful

My friends and I visited last weekend and had so much fun during the time spent. Angela helped us out. She was so friendly and was really easy to get a hold of when we hit a brick wall trying to solve a puzzle or equation. Lots of laughs, good times and friendly staff.

It was very fun! Me and my friend,Korean, participated one of game. It was very different to compare Korean escape room. At the beginning, we spent lots of time to figure out hints. Also workers are very nice and friendly. They remind your time and when you wave your hands, they will help you. At the end, they gave few extra mins so we could finish completely. Thank you! We enjoyed the time! Try it!

I’m a huge fan of escape the room, and this is a great one! The puzzles were intricate, interesting and the whole room was really well designed. From the decor to the fascinating reveals, this was an incredible experience. One of my favorite rooms to date! Cant wait to try more experiences here!

We did the Asylum room as a group of 6. It was challenging enough that we were all occupied for the hour. It was my first escape room and I loved it but also the people I went with were really into escape rooms and they also liked it so...

Had a wonderful time with the Vegas room! Great sense of humor, which is always refreshing with Escape Rooms, puzzles were fun and clues delightful to find :)

Lots of locks, but overall a really good experience for the lower tech. We did asylum with 6 people and it was a lot of fun for the hour. Tons to break out to do for the full time!

I really enjoyed this room. We went for two if my friends birthdays, and we all had a blast. The puzzles were incredibly clever, we had a fantastic GM, the whole thing was great. Im excited to try some of their other rooms!

Awesome escape room! I’ve been to countless across the country and this was one of the most challenging, well thought out, and best decorated places I’ve ever been (I did the Asylum one). We didn’t finish the room but I loved the puzzles and the difficulty level of the room. Definitely would recommend for other escape room enthusiasts.

We did the Paranormal Experiment escape room, and had a couple challenges:- The experience is in the dark, and one of the flashlights provided was dead.- We spent 20+ min on the first challenge. When we asked about it at the end, our guide told us that most people need a hint at that stage. It seems like a play-testing miss to have a puzzle that most teams need help to answer as the first challenge that gates the rest of the experience.- A couple times, the difference between successfully completing the challenge and not successfully completing it felt really arbitrary. We tried one strategy, and then later got a hint to go back and try the same strategy. We werent clear what the difference was.- Generally, the level of the puzzles felt a little too easy to us, with a couple that were arbitrarily hard to observe. There was relatively little abstract thinking or complex reasoning that was required. As such, we either solved the puzzles almost instantly or not at all. There was very little opportunity to feel like we were working through a challenge and that by approaching the problem in a novel way we got to the answer (although perhaps we would have felt more that way if wed hadnt wasted so much time in the beginning).- When we finished, the experience was really abrupt. Our guide wasnt actually sure whether we had finished in time or not. We asked whether we made it and she was like Im not sure... check the clock. We expected to see some explanations for the puzzles we had solved/missed, but we were out in 5 minutes. It would have been much better to do a solution walkthrough, even a brief one.Generally I like escape rooms a lot, but this one missed the mark for me a bit.

The Party in Vegas room was one of the most thematic escape rooms Ive ever done. The puzzles fit the theme more than usual, and even the waiting room is decked out with retro videogames, a few board games, Wi-Fi, and other toys.Staff was friendly and well prepared.

Had a lot of fun playing this escape room with friends. Wisely built, very friendly stuff, welcoming atmosphere, and very very interesting puzzle. We played Asylum which was super exciting and very real. Enjoyed the experience a lot! 5 stars no doubts!

WOW! This place is amazing, the Party in Vegas room was very fun and me and my friends enjoyed it all the way through. Now I have to play the other rooms!

Great escape room games. High level of immersive design, creative storylines and cool electronics! I had a great time playing the incredible machine and will definitely come back again.

We had a lot of fun doing the Night in Vegas room. A really great overall experience! The design of the room did absolutely match the theme.You are going to see a quite a few surprises :) The puzzles were a lot of fun and well thought through. And as a side note - the owners were really nice and fun to talk to as well. I highly recommend this room!

It was awesome!

The Vegas room is so much fun. Ask for Vanilla, hes the best host!

It was a fabulous experience! The design of the room is very immersive and reflects the spirit of the place very well.The puzzles were entertaining, cool and funky. You will come across a few surprises on your way out!Dont forget to bring a large group of friends. You have a better a chance to escape if you have people with different mindsets!And this room is very good for those who are new to escape rooms, its fun, but not overwhelming.

Had a great time escaping the Asylum. The puzzles were hard enough to challenge my group of four somewhat experienced escape room goers, but we just barely got out. Thanks to our operator Chels who made it a great time.

The room me and my team were given was very challenging! One of the hardest escape room ive been to so far.

The assylum room was resonably difficult and very thematic. Elizabeth was a great host who accomated us even though one of our team members went to the bathroom during break. Additionally, she gave us hints when we needed and our experience overall, was very fun. :)

First time to do an escape room. Lots of good puzzles and mysteries to solve, some much more difficult than others. I like that it has a theme, though I never saw the movie this one is based on. We split into teams to tackle different rooms which helped solve the game. However, we needed two hints to solve 3 minutes before our hour was up. Lots of fun. Will do this again soon.

Ive always wanted to do an escape room and after looking at prices, reviews, and location it was an easy choice to choose clockwise. I booked three tickets online which was quick and easy. Reminder emails were sent with instruction to get there 10 minutes early and that clockwise could elect to cancel your reservation if you did not show up at a reasonable time. So I was all over my friends to be fifteen minutes early. Of course, they couldnt get their sh** together and we were late. Clockwise called and text messaged me to ask if I was gonna make it and accepted us for our reserved time even though we were fifteen minutes late and had a group of four other people waiting on us.The experience itself was challenging and fun although I would recommend you go with people you know and/or feel comfortable arguing with. And that you split the puzzles, basically have a game plan.

Best escape room game in the Bay Area! It wasnt easy to get out, some puzzles are very tricky. But had a lot of fun. Really great experience. Will definitely come back!

Really cool experience (they help you if you need it lol)

As a family, we did the asylum escape room and made it out with honey 5 mins to spare (we needed a couple hints, though).Lots of fun, friendly staff.

My friends and I had a lot of fun with the Night in Vegas. It was an entertaining storey with great problems to solve that were good for any group. The room has cool props and is done well.

Loved the rooms. Had tons of fun with my friends. We escaped!

Really fun rooms and inventive puzzles and mechanisms. Great and friendly staff. Did both Party in Vegas and The Asylum. Both were good and Part in Vegas was more challenging for us and would recommend a slightly larger group for the Vegas room.

Had a great time. Good puzzles and some handy team work got us out just in time!

The staff are so friendly and the escape room was amazing! We had so much fun!

What a great idea for a team building experience! We needed to everyones brain power to get out of the Paniq Room. May need to bring my children here.

I did the Asylum room with a group of 6. It never felt too crowded, and there was a lot for us to do. The room was really immersive. There only one clue that felt a little vague. I would definitely come back to do their other room!

Very quality experience, friendly staff. Thanks Eleni!

Had lots of fun here

Hard to find but great experience with the Asylum escape room

Had a blast, Vanilla was a great host! I cant wait to try the other rooms!

Wowwie! I visited ClockWise for a birthday gathering with some friends. I love escape rooms and puzzles but had not been able to do much since I recently moved to the area. I didnt have too much time to do research because I was making the reservation on the day of, and boy am I glad I happened to choose ClockWise!The waiting room has a lot of little games that you can play with, so you should definitely try to arrive early and relive childhood days. The host was also super friendly and punny :^)The props, storyline, and decor of the room were on point. I could really tell everything had been planned out carefully. I loved that the hints were not too direct, so that we could mull over them a little. I havent been to other escape rooms in the area, but I can certainly say it was a quality experience.My friends and I were all experienced escapers so we got out with some time left (shouldnt have used those hints!!), but we cant wait to return when the new, more difficult rooms open!

Had a blast in the asylum room. Makes you think! Go check it out!!

Enjoyable experience, too easy but good if there are beginners in your group

Had a great time, the employees very kind and the rooms were a challenge! Very cool setup.

Not great. We finished the Vegas escape room in 30 minutes because the puzzles arent designed correctly, so you can inadvertently skip a bunch of steps. The room wasnt very well designed and the host wasnt very happy to be there. Not worth $35 pr person.

Lots of puzzles were broken. Wouldnt recommend.

Fun puzzels, nice theme and was great for a teambuilding exercise.

The host, the room, and the whole experience were really fantastic. Id never done an escape room before and I think Im now a fan.

We had a great time solving the Asylum escape room!

Very clever puzzles. Super fun place!

Asylum was very fun. We had a great time.

It was a great escape room and we spent a good time with friends playing))))

Party in Vegas was original and well themed.

First time in an escape room and it was a blast! Kind of an odd location but it was a blast!

Very clever

Perfection

Really fun.

Dope

Nice escape rooms
