The company has a team of game designers, Huynh included, writers and onsite game-monitors, who track players via computer screens in a “back room,” which is how, if you find yourself stuck and can’t figure out the clues in time to escape, you can get a little help. According to Collins, there is a fourth location planned for a spot just across the county line with a targeted opening for early 2019. The Rancho Cordova location, which opened in February, marks the company’s first foray into the Sacramento area. In 2017, Red Door doubled its reach to 40,000 guests. By summer of 2016, Red Door had clocked in 20,000 guests and the company’s second location was opened in Plano, Texas. The company has been on a fast-track for growth since. In no short order it became clear a company was in the making, thus the Red Door Southlake location opened with three episodes. Students enjoyed the first game Huynh created so much they demanded more. Huynh got the idea after his first escape room experience to bring something similar to college students at his church in the Dallas suburb of Southlake. The company was co-founded by Dan Huynh, his wife and a third partner in spring of 2015. “Red Door is about an experience you go through with others, so our multi-sensory games make perfect options for group events, corporate outings and family nights out where your thinking skills and sense of enjoyment are about all you need,” said Collins. GOLDEN PUZZLE ESCAPE SAVRAMENTO FULLRed Door also has a party room that can accommodate up to 50 people with a foosball table and a full kitchen for preparing your own food and drinks, or setting up a catered event, such as a birthday party, a family night out, or a corporate outing. “Once Upon a Time,” perhaps the most kid-friendly option, asks you to located stolen magical items from a kingdom far, far away. Others episodes include “Prison Break,” in which you and your teammates are taken hostage by terrorists somewhere deep inside a South Asian jungle and “Taken,” in which you must infiltrate a hotel and rescue a victim of human trafficking. (One, called “The Gift,” is actually two identical games, situated side-by-side and intended to be played by two teams competing against one another). You can choose from five uniquely themed episodes. Each game or episode can accommodate between 2-6 or 2-8 players. There are group and corporate packages available, as well. “What we want to provide is a unique experience for everyone, no matter how old you are, where you turn off your phones, leave your muscle at the door, bring in your brains and get ready to have fun,” said Collins. You’ll get 15 minutes for a briefing on your game scenario, an hour to get out and then another 15 minutes for “debriefing.” In between, says Red Door Sacramento’s General Manager, Jarick Collins, the most important thing to remember is to have nothing but pure, unalloyed fun. A typical Red Door experience takes about an hour and a half, depending on how skilled you and your team are at deciphering your clues. These multi-sensor games are individually themed and aimed at varying skill levels and ages. If you aren’t familiar, Red Door is one of a handful of so-called “Immersive Entertainment Experiences” popping up nationwide, where you and a date, or perhaps a group of friends or a few colleagues choose from among a handful of games where you are locked inside a room from which you must escape using only a set of cryptic clues and interactive puzzles-all while the clock is ticking down. That’s the order for getting the absolute most out of your experience at the newly opened Red Door Escape Room in Rancho Cordova’s Nimbus Winery complex. ![]() RANCHO CORDOVA, CA (MPG) - Phones down, brains on.
