Starting at the San Leandro Plaza History Display, this Oz-themed escape game loops about 2.1 km past St. Leander Church and the San Leandro History Museum before finishing back at the plaza, in around 90 minutes.

A little clarity before you go
Frequently asked questions
Is there an escape room near me in San Leandro?
Yes, this is an outdoor escape-room-style game played on your phone in central San Leandro. You follow clues from stop to stop, solving puzzles set in the places around you, starting at the San Leandro Plaza History Display. There is no fixed booking slot, so you can begin whenever suits you.
Where does the San Leandro escape game start and how long does it take?
It starts at the San Leandro Plaza History Display and finishes back at San Leandro Plaza. The route covers about 2.1 km with stops such as Pacific Plaza, St. Leander Church and the San Leandro History Museum, and most groups take around 90 minutes.
Can we play as a group, or does it work solo?
Both. One ticket covers your whole group, so friends, families or a birthday or work group can solve the puzzles together on the walk. If you prefer to play alone, you can take on the witch's challenges solo and compare your result on the leaderboard.
Do we need to book a time, and can we pause?
No time slot is needed. You start the game in the app whenever you are ready, with no guide or other group to meet. You can also pause partway, for a coffee or a break, and continue the route later from where you stopped.
Is it suitable for kids?
It suits families with older kids and teens who enjoy puzzles and can manage a walk of about 2.1 km over roughly 90 minutes. The game is played entirely outdoors, so younger children may find the length and the puzzle-solving harder going.
