Diablo Escapes - Walnut Creek, California

Alberto Escalante

Absolutely love Diablo Escapes! Seriously, this place is a blast. From the moment you walk in, the staff is incredibly welcoming and super helpful, which just made our date nights even more special. We’ve been here twice already and can’t get enough. The escape rooms are brilliantly designed—so engaging and fun. And the virtual reality? Mind-blowing! It feels like you’re transported to another world.

Booking online is a breeze too, and we’ve even snagged same-day slots a couple of times. Just a heads up, it can get busy, so maybe check ahead.

My fiancee and I are already planning our next visit to try out the other adventures they offer. It’s perfect whether you’re out with your special someone or rolling with a group. Can’t recommend this place enough!

Absolutely LOVED this place. The kindest owners as well. This was the coolest experience I have done in so long and it was so well made. The VR experience was perfect and so well put together. I am truly raving about this and will be recommending this to everyone. I will also be back!! Thank you for this experience!!!

Worth every penny!! Funnest time I've ever paid for hands down! Actually my brother paid but still ? Getting there is a little tricky so, I've added pictures of where to drive towards once you turn into the parking lot. Leave your jackets, sweaters, phones, purse etc in the locker or in your car. Once You're hooked up, you're so immersed in the mission that it literally melts your worries away because the views are incredible, you feel like you've actually been transported to a beautifulfar away vacation destination, plus you'll be pretty invested in the mission that nothing else matters. It's a great bonding experience, you'll share triumphs, laughs, ideas etc...usually kids argue or fight over things - not this time, it was pure FUN! They were so into the experience that instead of arguing, they participated so nicely which made for an even better experience. staff is so attentive and truly want you to enjoy your experience so they're super involved and invested. You can reserve a space for a birthday ? party, they have a snack shop and clean restrooms ?.

Went with 4 kids 10-13 and this one adult. Place was well run, from the booking system, to the phone being answered when inquiring about glasses under VR headset, to pre-game briefing. Be prepared, if you're the lone adult, you'll need to fill out a waiver for everyone with you the first time you come. Takes a few minutes.

I enjoyed the experience, but won't be going back. Business was run fine, but you're paying a premium for a technology that is not really there yet. Compared with home video game systems, the graphics are lacking. Hand controls and general interactivity with the elements of the game leave a lot to be desired. Room was a little too small to comfortably operate with 5 people. Batteries need be changed out during the 1 hour process (to their credit, they do it very quick).

The state of the technology and the experience does not justify the premium pricing. All 4 kids enjoyed it, but 3 of the 4 kids stated they would prefer the local "traditional" escape room to this VR option if given the choice. When I explained they could each see 3 movies and get a small popcorn at 2 of those movies, it was 4 of 4 kids choosing the movie option. All that said, it does have cool potential for the future when the technology gets there.

Absolutely Amazing experience. If I could leave 10 Stars I would. First off, our coordinator was great, she answered all my questions on the phone before we arrived. Then we got there and she went over all the options, games, costs, rules and equipment. The whole gaming experience was better than we expected and we will be back for more, especially with the discount voucher we received after we were done. Thanks so much for a memorable time !!!!

What a GREAT experience. The staff was kind and knowledgeable. My team had no previous experience with this type of experience and our voice in the sky was patient and kind. Going into the unknown coming out experts. Two 65+ ladies will be enjoying this type of experience again.

I NEVER leave reviews but this one is special. The owners are wonderful hosts and helped my friends and I do a walk in over the phone. We really appreciate having a game master come in sooner without waiting for the next available booking.

We played runaway train and manor escape and we really loved them both!

12/10 recommend, thank you for making our experience memorable!

I highly recommend this escape room experience! So much fun. We booked an escape room for a 12 year old birthday celebration. Kids and adult loved it. The game felt so real. You get to experience problems that you can’t simulate in real life. Can’t wait to go back and try the other games. We thought it was even better than the non VR escape rooms we have been too.
