We had a great time using their virtual experience. We chose this company because they do a great job of converting the in-person experience to zoom. There are other companies that use a live person in the room, which I wasnt entirely comfortable with, but instead of using a live person, they used videos, photos, and a live game master (via zoom) in each room, which worked seamlessly with our group of 65. We were able to submit teams ahead of time, and they took photos of all of our teams over zoom. I highly recommend this company for virtual events and conferences, especially while remote. They are a great team-building solution during these socially distant times.

Great for team event and birthday party. We booked the birthday room for 45 mins and they allow us come early to setup and decorated the room. The owner and staffs are friendly. My daughter and her friends enjoy the spy room.

Played a virtual room with beat the lock. good puzzles and fun story!

Came in Sunday early afternoon, waited in the lobby for about 3 minutes before someone came out to greet us and give us instructions. Our guide prepared us and explained the game well. The clues were fun and difficult but our team of 4 escaped before the hour. Any more than 6 people seems like it would be tough to fit and all be involved but Im sure there was a group of 10 before us!

We did it! This was a super fun event and great team and communication building exercise. Will definitely come back.

We went for a work team event and it was a lot of fun! We were provided ample clues, in case we were stuck and we were eventually able to figure it out. At the end, the host of the game also gave us feedback about how our team did...which I felt was truly good for us to understand our team dynamics in general. Highly recommend this place! Cant wait to go here again !!

Good game. Puzzles not too hard although hints may be needed for some of the more obscure clues in the room.While many escape rooms are making the experience better by creating an emersive environment, beat the lock falls short with their room decoration and props.

I had a team building event here and its really fun! The employees were so nice and patient, gave us hint, took photos in the end, even took notes what we have done!The parking lot is in the yard do its a bit hard to find. I called them and they gave me detailed instructions. The best escape room experience ever!

Lots of fun! We did the attic challenge, which was the most difficult one. The clues were good and fair. We finished with 15 seconds to spare!

Awesome experience. The people who run it are great and we had a great time playing. We werent able to solve the puzzle this time, but we will be back.

Ive done a handful of escapes and the Attic was super fun! The staff member was friendly, in character, and watched the camera attentively. She sold the theme very well. The puzzles are challenging but mostly low tech.

Ive gone here twice, and both times its been tons of fun. Vincent was in charge of our group and did a great job. Well definitely be returning :)

Friendly, helpful staff and fun puzzles - we ‘got out’ in about 45 mins. Can nitpick (e.g., dim lighting in the ‘attic’), but a great experience overall with friends and family.

Very interesting and makes you think critical... staff is very nice and rooms set up clean for the next people up...

Spy Room was a fun escape room, though not necessarily the most challenging, so its good for beginners. Beat the Lock is well run, and their staff is both polite and responsive. Although the time I requested wasnt available on line, they created a link to a custom reservation for my group very quickly. An easy pick if you need to plan an exciting team-building activity.

I have never done an escape room before so have nothing to compare it with. But I liked this. It is a small room where you get locked and have to find clues to open door to another room and then more clues to stop a bomb and save the day. The staff here is friendly and helpful. They monitor you throughout the game and offer help when needed

Great fun for a kids birthday party. Staff is friendly. Spy room was exciting. Will come back to try the attic room.

We had a great time opening the locks and we all liked the story a lot.

Awesome time with family and friends here. We had a group of 11 and it was a blast! We finished in 45 minutes!

They have a good room appropriate for kids. We had a lot of fun.

Great team building activity! We had a large group of 20 people and were able to do the same room in two groups for a little extra competition. The staff was welcoming and friendly. And best part....BOTH OF OUR TEAMS ESCAPED!

Good place to come! Nice staff and rooms are great!

My wife and I did the spy room and we were very impressed with the difficulty and amount of puzzles fit into the room. We did our best but did not escape which wasnt a fault of the room or staff but just our group size. Make sure you come with your A team of at least 4 people to get through this one unless you are very experienced players. We would have liked a bit more game master interaction during the game but overall recommended.

Excellent. Went with my company team as team event.We tried the Spy Room, and (it took us a bit) it became clear that the props were the best of all the escape rooms weve been to some far (though we did fumble in using some of it). Good on them, we werent expecting those and it sure made things memorable. And the set up  required us to REALLY get into it. When we do another room here, well be more prepared this time around, now that weve got the feel of it.Overall, great experience with a couple of the more user-part of the set up that I thought could be improved on. But the puzzles and room set up were interesting enough that were definitely planning on returning again!

We did the Spy Room and beat the lock at 52:56! Best escape room for large groups.

The place is difficult to find but the experience of the escape room is great and the staff was very friendly. The only drawback was that the three clues that were allowed were pre-printed and werent terribly helpful. In fact, we felt that they told us what we had already discovered. The spoken clues, though, were much more helpful. If wed only received those and not the printed ones, which made us use time to figure out what hey said, I thought we would have had a better time. But overall, a very small complaint for a very well thought out and fun escape experience.

My first escape room. Had a ton of fun solving puzzles and clues. The theme of the room was engaging and although we needed a couple of hints to complete, it was possible to solve within an hour. But,the room was well designed and would definitely recommend. They have a single theme at this location and another in Santa Clara location. Looking forward to trying more escape rooms now!

This is a fairly standard escape room. The puzzles are on par with all of the other escape rooms Ive done.One thing that bothered me is that they punish creativity instead of rewarding it. Our room had a 4-part puzzle that we solved 3 out of 4 clues for. We deduced the 4th part of the puzzle based on the pattern of the other 3 parts, meaning we advanced without actually solving one of the clues. Normally escape rooms would reward this kind of thing since creative problem solving is the entire point of doing an escape room, but Beat The Lock Escapes Rooms forced us to go back and solve the clue that we skipped.Overall, its probably worth a trip if you havent done many escape rooms. Just expect to be disappointed when your clever solution is denied by excessive legalism.

Very fun experience! Had a really good time, they were really helpful. Unfortunately half of the people in our random group were late but it was very challenging and the perfect end to an anniversary trip.

This was a really fun activity for our family (3 adults and 2 kids, 9 and 11 yrs of age). We got 3-4 hints and were able to complete the Spy Room game. The puzzles were well thought out and there are good surprises. The staff is friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend it.

This is a very well planned escape room, a lot of unexpected surprises, but is very possible to figure out in an hour. They said they have a harder one with an escape rate of 20%, can’t wait to go back and try that!

I went here for a company event. It was my first escape room experience. I found the game fun and challenging. There were some clues that didnt seem to have a flow or were confusing. But they made sure to help us along when we werent picking up on the clues.

It was a great team building exercise. We all loved it and want to try again. Amy and Renne were cooperative and entertained our last minute requests.

Had a great time with the team. The staff were very flexible and accommodating when we organized the food. The mysteries were good enough to challenge us without making us feel stupid

Fun escape room. The clues and puzzles made sense and the room really flowed together. Two of us escaped at just over 54 minutes. Fun!

We did the attic with 4 adults a 16month old and a 2.5 yr old. They worked with us and it was really fun we won with 7 min left. I am sad we were only in town a few days and couldnt go again.

Giving two stars just for the cheerful and friendly employees! A+ for them. However, I would not even give the actual escape room one star. Very little effort was put into the theme, or the story, or the room itself. For a place supposedly belonging to your neighbor, it sure had a lot of Ethernet ports and a suspiciously office-like drop ceiling. The puzzles themselves were disjointed and had little sense or logic to them, and left you feeling thoroughly unsatisfied.The Spy Room at Beat the Lock sets a new (low) standard for escape rooms. I will be shocked if I ever encounter a more hilariously badly designed room in my lifetime. Would never recommend to anybody.

We did their spy room escape. It was a fun event. If you are looking for a team building event or just some fun with friends this is a good one to try once. Albeit the per head price is a bit steep. I hope they reduce it a little.

Good host. Really fun escape room to solve. Spacious enough to host 8 adults and 4 kids under 9 years of age in the same room. Had a great experience. Difficulty level was decent. And yes, we escaped!

A good experience for sure, we went with 6 of us and had a fun time figuring out how to escape the room and beat the clock. We did it in 47 minutes. Although it was fun, for the price you pay it should include more. Its literally a room and you find clues to open a chest to escape. We paid $187 for 6 of us and it lasted 47 minutes. I think if they allowed you to do another room after the first, you would get your moneys worth.

Excellent premise for the secret agent neighbor room. We had two groups of 8 people and they were able to accommodate both groups at the same time with the same room type which was awesome. We got to compete against each other to see which group could escape first and not have to wait around for them to reset the room.

Super fun room! Friendly staff!

Went there for my birthday with a group of friends (each room is good for 6 to 10 people). We had a good time.Would have been better if they hadnt left out a piece of the puzzle during setup (ーー;)

That was fun. Glad we went, bring your smart friends.

Fun escape rooms. Fun puzzles. Good for a team event. Friendly staff.

We played the Secrets in the Attic and it was a fun experience. Puzzles are not too hard but very well designed.

First time and loved it!! Well organized and friendly staff. Super challenging and fun game!

We had a corporate event here and loved it. They have four identical rooms, so you can have up to fifty people competing against each other to escape the room fastest. They also accommodated us with delicious catering afterwards for an additional fee. Friendly and helpful staff, too!

Nice escape rooms - similar escapes.

Pure fun.We finished in 50 minutes.Keep your group between 4-8 people and enjoy.

A fun place for team events.

Good Team activity room

Fun. My second escape room this year. Well engineered, surprising setup. Good team building exercise. Multiple rooms for larger groups and team v team play.

Great staff and fun room. Works great with bigger groups, we had a team of 8 and it was perfect. Some escape room vendors stuff is run down, but these rooms are in great shape.

Had a team building outing here. It was my first escape room so not much to compare it to but it was a good time none the less. We had 4 identical rooms to compare times across 4 teams but one room was different than the rest which skewed the time for one team making that team incomparable to the other 3. Other than that it was good times!

Lots of fun! They had a friendly and competent staff and the lock room we did was fun and challenging. Theyre props could have been a little nicer but its not a big deal.

Great! So much fun!!

Very nice place. Our group has enjoyed the Spy Room very much. Thats not an easy quest, weve spent the entire time solving it and were just two minutes short.

Good place for team event. You will end up finding clue after clue till you escape the room. Recommended for large groups of 20+.

Took my family here in a big group and we had a great time. The room was doable and the staff was quite friendly and helpful. The room proceeded at a good pace and we were kept on our toes. It was fun!

Fun time. A good group outing. Great team building activity.

Kids had a great time here.

Fun, good for big groups, good for people new to escape rooms.

Great fun, good puzzles, a little challenging for a handicapped person but the staff made every effort to accommodate

The spy room barely meets the requirements to be an escape room. Very little effort was put into creating an ambiance worth noting. Was just a small office with painted walls and random props put into it. Definitely would not recommend to a friend. Ceiling still had the standard office tiled ceiling and all the outlets and ethernet plugins still were still there... As well, the opening story was pretty basic which took about 10 seconds to explain. Staff were only minimally engaged in creating a pervasive theme throughout the experience. Definitely has a lot of room for improvement especially given the room was $420.

Great place! I liked it.

Good Place for team building and offsite

Its pretty hard to figure out at times, but I would deff recommend to you guys. Came here with my fiancé and she really enjoyed it also.

We went for a kids party. It was a pretty good setup for the kids. The only real downside was they didnt seem to change up the puzzle. So the kids that had been their before new where to look for all the answers...

The escape room does not have a set theme and the clues are all disconnected. Not worth it

We had a great experience. Makes me want to start checking more of these out.

Had a really good visit with my company the other day. A really well executed venue. I would recommend it for your team building activity, too!

Did a team building afternoon here. Was good Id recommend it. Reasonable as well

This is fun.. very nice activity for small group, even with kids

Waiting room smelled like paint.

Had a great time though I found the room to be very disjointed. There were a number of puzzles that required blind guesses to proceed to the next steps. I have completed many escape rooms but this was the first that felt the need to supply a multitude of hints to keep us going.

Part of my bachelor and bachelorette party was here. Wonderful staff and it was a great puzzle. Very fun. Will definitely want to do the other puzzle

A lot of fun, especially when youre with a great group of people. Need a team building exercise for your company? This is it.

Excellent team building activity. My team had a great time solving the clues

Good basic escape room, nothing super creative but well executed and fun, great for beginners

Good times for a group activity. Change story line maybe quarterly or semi annually to have a variety

Good fun! Had a great time trying to collaborate and figure out all the clues.

Went for my b day on a whim after skydiving the same day. Ide go with 5 people for this one. It was just myself and my husband and no we didnt solve it, but we did get lots of hints, cuz we asked and we were at a disadvantage. It was really really fun and it was our first time doing anything like this. Go!

A great experience for friends and family that will make you think

We did the harder room and the puzzles were hard with often unintuitive/arbitrary solutions

A fun experience! The people who run the events are very polite and professional!

Fun experience with some co-workers. Would definitely do it again.

Great place to have fun while putting your mind to solve puzzles. Go with atleast a team of 5.otherwise would be hard to solve in an hour.

Must be a smart person to put the clues together

What a great time and team building exercise.

Staff was welcoming and knowledgeable. The escape toom was challenging and we were really excited to defeat this challenge.

Had fun but either our group was way too good or the puzzles were too easy (finished in 30 minutes!)

Had a great time with friends something different to do .

This was great fun for our group to work together and have a fun and sometimes unexpected adventure

A fun time was had by all.

Good experience. Go with more than 3-4 friends at least

This was fun...wasnt sure if I was going to like it

Vert fun attic

This was fun, the puzzles were sufficiently difficult and fun

A bit pricey, but one of the best escape rooms in San Jose!
