Escape Games at The River - Rancho Mirage, California

Great escape room. Great experience. Great game masters. All room clues were fully functional and very different from the “lots of padlocks” rooms. I highly recommend. We did the Egyptian Tomb room and loved it. We have now done all the rooms at this location. Looking forward to new ones in the future.

This was the best escape room my husband and I have ever been to! The attention to detail in the rooms—from the clues to the decorations—was incredible. You can truly see how much thought and effort was put into every aspect. The customer service was outstanding as well. We did the pirate-themed escape room, the ending was such a great surprise! I loved the entire experience! We will definitely be coming back to try the other rooms. 10/10!

Decided to challenge myself doing a room solo. Called and the owner was very helpful, and let me know mutiny was one of the games that didn’t need two people physically. Also this place has the nicest bathroom for an escape business I’ve ever seen.

Room itself was a mix of locks and high tech puzzles. What sets it apart is the fantastic production quality. Don’t know how old it is but everything is in good shape, and the theming and effects are off the charts.

Gameplay itself was fairly standard, but everything made sense logically and flowed decently well. I managed to make it out solo in about 51 minutes.

Highly recommend mutiny and will have to plan a trip back to the area to try their other rooms in the future.

Great experience here. Clean, well organized, fun and challenging escape room. We did the skull island & thoroughly enjoyed our time here! Would recommend.

Our family has done over 60 escape rooms around the world, and we were impressed with the dragon spire room at escape games at the river.

The sets were sophisticated and engaging with lots of creative things to look at and explore in order to solve the puzzles.

This particular room wasn't among the most challenging we've ever done, but we appreciated that there were creative puzzles to solve. That didn't always involve padlocks or keys. There were some very engaging mechanisms that revealed additional opportunities to solve puzzles and work together as a team.

He also appreciated that this room was not entirely linear, so all of us could be busy solving puzzles and looking for clues instead of having to wait around, would be a great room for a larger group.

There was plenty of nearby parking, this business is on the second floor and isn't completely obvious when you're pulling up how to get in, but you can quickly find an elevator or stairs to get to the second floor and once there, the space is comfortable and the staff were warm and welcoming.

Next time we're in Palm springs will definitely choose to go back and try a few more of the rooms, there were very interesting variety of choices for rooms and a range of difficulties, so there's something for everyone, including people who are just starting out with their first puzzle room.

The 80’s escape room was so fun and ingenious! Staff was very nice and helpful. Will definitely go back and do another room!!

We love Escape Games at the River. Our family/friends try to do an escape room here each time we visit the area. We just did our 4th game last night and had so much fun! We have done quite a few escape rooms throughout So Cal and have found that Escape Games at the River has some of the best! We’ll hopefully be back soon to play our next game!

Our family has had nothing but great experiences at Escape Games at the River! Every room has been immersive, intectually stimulating and fun for our whole family (ages 55-6). We highly recommended coming with some friends.
