Great escape room! The 'Speakeasy' was well designed and took our group of 7 almost the whole hour to solve. Sarah did a great job getting us all set up. We will look forward to going back to try another room!

Best escape room I’ve ever done.The room’s plot was super fun (we were attempting to break into our grandparents’ lodge to recover a childhood game) and puzzles matched the theme so well and were the perfect level of difficulty.My team beat the room with less than a minute to spare. That felt soooo good.The employees are also awesome! Great experience, would absolutely come here and try all the rooms if I could!

Years ago we did the Diner, and this weekend we completed The cabin and Chinatown. All of the rooms here are clever- they have interesting clues and great themes. We have done literally hundreds of rooms all over the country and these rooms are so fun. They are difficult for two people(we only escaped because our game master helped us in the final seconds). But we love the difficulty and interesting puzzles. Can’t wait to come back to try The Speakeasy.

Did the Diner one and we were not that close to escaping, much harder than anticipated. We didn't escape but it was still fun! Will definitely be back to try another one of the escape rooms.

Shea was our game master and really made the experience so much fun. Very clever room (speak easy). Lots of interesting puzzles and an overall great experience! Can’t wait to go back and try another room!
Came here a few months ago with friends who dragged me along, and while I had never played one of these before and struggled, I absolutely loved it! I love the concept of solving puzzles to progress a story and it was executed very well. I felt immersed and like I was actually in the situation where I had to problem solve my way out of a tricky scenario.Since then I have done a couple more escape rooms around town, and while they were also very fun and challenging, I am itching to come back and try my hand at the three other rooms this business has to offer. This time I will bring my younger nephews because they would absolutely adore this sort of thing!

What a great experience! I recently visited Quicksand and did the Family Cabin with a group of friends, and it was an absolute blast. We had so much fun we came back the next weekend to play the Speakeasy Nouveau room, too.The puzzles were unique and the perfect level of challenging, and the two rooms' themes were incredibly immersive. The game masters were also super friendly and helpful.I've played a bunch of escape rooms in the past few years, and I highly recommend Quicksand for anyone looking for a good time with friends or family. Can't wait to go back and try the other two rooms!

I have never done an escape room before so this was my first time. We went as a family and had the best time ever! We were greeted by friendly staff in the waiting area, watch a quick video of rules and what to expect and were on our way to our room. Once in it was full of all sorts of things to explore, so quickly split up and started checking it all out. Some of the puzzles were quite challenging, but we were able to sort it all out between the 4 of us. We ended up in 3 different rooms before we finished. Super fun and exciting! We barely escaped in time so that added to the excitement and fun! After finishing the awesome staff congratulated us and offered to take a photo of our family with the We Escaped sign. Great keepsake! Can't wait to return and try another room <3

We didn't escape, but we enjoyed our time at Quicksand Escape Games. We spent too much time in the first room and didn't realize until it was too late. Looking back, it seemed like many of the clues were revealed sequentially. I've been in other rooms where you can solve multiple puzzles or locks at the same time which speeds up the game. A lot of the more interactive puzzles for our room were all grouped near the end/ the last few rooms. We later learned that the room we'd chosen was actually designed for a group twice our size and that there was only a 15% chance of escaping - super slim! Quicksand Escape Games was one of the more affordable game room experiences in the San Diego area at $35 per person for the hour. Since they're located in PB, parking was limited, but if you're willing to pay, there was a lot nearby for $7/hour. Overall, we had a great time. I would recommend if I were in the area again and looking for a fun group activity to do.
