Here's the most popular company in SF that runs these: http://realescapegame.com/

They are an offshoot of the Japanese division. All of their games are really well done. There are several other places in the bay area doing this now too, this one in Richmond is also great: http://letsescapesf.com/

We did the Time Travel one at Real Escape and it was great fun. Very exciting. There's another at http://paniqentertainment.com/sanfrancisco that was all right. Definitely liked the Real Escape one more. The operators all act as if they're part of the whole thing.

I played Escape From the Mysterious Room here a couple years ago. Great fun, great puzzles. If you're familiar with Japanese escape-the-room Flash games, the puzzles are very similar.
