4.Outdoor Escape Room in San Francisco – SOMA/Embarcadero

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 17 reviews · 2 hours (approx.)

Start at Lotta’s Fountain and use a physical puzzle box, real-world clues, and an app to complete an anti-earthquake invention. You’ll explore SOMA and the Embarcadero for about two hours, with your private group of up to six setting the pace.

“The games, puzzles and riddles were just the right amount of fun vs. challenging. We actually saw some new sights in San Francisco. Although, we went on a Sunday morning, and there weren't many tourists or business people in the Financial District, so "be aware" of homeless approaching your group and pan-handling. "Best to go during busier times", but the experience itself was quite fun, and I'd recommend it.”
