About Activity
The Escape Game San Francisco: Fisherman’s Wharf is set right next to delicious dining, endless entertainment, and of course, the beautiful views of the bay! A few of our favorite places to eat include Boudin, Grandeho's Kamekyo, and Pizza Zone. Of course, you can’t hang out in the Bay Area without grabbing some Ghirardelli. We recommend stopping by their on-the-go counter for a celebratory (or consolation) sundae!

Duration: 1 hour 15 minutes In this escape room, The year is 1962. You’ve been wrongfully accused of a crime, and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Your new “home” is a cell that once belonged to an inmate who disappeared without a trace…or did he? Some claim he escaped. Others swear he was murdered by the infamously cruel warden. But no one actually knows… can you escape before you suffer the same fate?
Here’s how it works: You and your team will work together to find clues, solve puzzles, and ultimately escape before the warden returns. Escaping will require teamwork, communication, wits, a sense of adventure, and most importantly: YOU!
Once you arrive for your game, a dedicated game guide will take you on to your adventure and help you as needed. You will have exactly 60-minutes to complete the mission in your adventure and escape.
Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller Suitable for all physical fitness levels Games are recommended for ages 13 and up. Younger players are allowed, but some of the game content may be too difficult for them. An adult, 18 or older, must participate with anyone that is 14 and under. Also, any participants under the age of 18 will need an adult to sign their waiver. You will be in a room with a locked door, but every door is equipped with an exit button. Should you feel the need to leave the room, you are welcome to do so at any time. Each game is designed for one hour of intense fun! Plan to spend 15 minutes prior to each game preparing and briefing for your mission, and 15 minutes after each game to debrief and take photos. The Escape Game experiences are very different from what you typically see in other escape rooms. These games aren't scary or dark. They are exciting, adventurous, and something all guests can enjoy. Unless you book all the spots in a game, our games have the potential to be shared experiences, which means others could book into your game and join your team. Operated by The Escape Game San Francisco (The Wharf) For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
Reviews
We have thoroughly enjoyed the escape game, we’ve done 17 of their rooms (some of them multiple times because they are that good…) Aaron, the front desk manager was super nice and so was Seth another front desk manager, just awesome guys. Really love the escape games, I’ve always said from the beginning that they’re like Disneyland quality in the form of an epic escape room. Except, the escape game Customer Service is way better than Disneyland!
Will always recommend the escape game to everyone whether it’s their first or 100th escape room!
This prison experience was amazing!! I felt the rush as I was trying to figure out how to escape! Highly recommend for a challenge!

Great escape room! It was immersive and puzzles were difficult but not too difficult. Great customer service. We walked in and were able to play again within 15 minutes. The game master was very helpful.

Jul 13, 2026, 11:14:06 PM The room that we did was very detailed I had a lot of fun. It was relatively hard, which made it very enjoyable to actually work together with people. I recommend doing people that you don’t know.

First of all, the staff was kind and welcoming as always!! We went in here on a whim 3 years ago and have become lifelong supporters ever since! This was our third go around and we weren't disappointed at all! Really fun experience and I really can't say enough how welcoming, supportive, kind, and awesome the staff are. We'll always be patrons and supporters of this place!
Great Team-Building ExperienceAmber_W
Had a great time completing the Prison Break: Alcatraz escape room with my work team! It was a fun, interactive experience and a great team-building activity. The puzzles were challenging without being frustrating, and we all had a really good time. Definitely recommend if you're in Fisherman's Wharf looking for something fun to do.
May 20, 2026, 11:04:58 PM Awesome! The Alcatraz puzzle was a good difficulty for my friends and I who have done many of the escape game puzzles

Great room, don’t let the difficulty rating scare youmarkpI2895ML
Mar 27, 2026, 12:03:40 PM Rated 9/10, more like 7 for experienced escape roomers. Some cool puzzles, group separates but has to work together which was cool, some stuff that isn’t just brain work. Great room.
Great team off-site! Super fun!
First shot was unexpectedly fun.ivansK2620TU
As my first escape room, it was great fun cracking Alcatraz.
Escaping AlcatraztonyvX4322TI
Great experience! The escape room was not too easy to blow past it quickly and the rooms were long enough to take the hour. Elio was a great host nudged us in the right direction during the room.
