Room Escape Artist

“ I love the space junker aesthetic.”

In the forgotten corner of a half-functioning junkyard, hidden somewhere behind broken down cars and an armored bunker, lies the last hope of mankind. Dr. Sarah Cube has created the first sentient AI. Surely this new technology will save the world. I mean… what could go wrong?

In this month’s Spoilers Club, Sarah Zhang, owner of Omescape Sunnyvale and Omescape San Jose joins us to talk about their epic, two-hour escape room Robotopia. Sarah talks to us about their obsession with creating puzzles that require many players, crafting game highlights, and giving players the opportunity to feel smart and figure out that aha moment. It was very clear that they design with the player’s enjoyment in mind.

This epic, two-hour long game was a fan favorite of the Escape Immerse Explore Tour when enthusiasts visited the Bay Area. It also won a Golden Lock Award in 2024. This game is jam-packed with puzzles, enough to keep any enthusiast running in circles. Sarah walks us through all the puzzles in this game, with commentary about the design decisions.
