I did the two permanent room escapes run by Real Escape Game/SCRAP in San Francisco (in the New People mall in Japantown), namely Escape from the Mysterious Room and Escape from the Time Travel Lab. They were great fun. (My teams didn't manage to escape from either of them.)

I also did their Escape from the Bank (themed after the aftermath of a bank robbery), where I think my team was the only one to make it out. That event is possibly less awesome because you're seated at a table in a big hall with a lot of other teams around you, rather than exploring small room all by yourselves.

Now I'm looking forward to trying the games in New York City!

I did Escape from the Mysterious Room as well, and really enjoyed it. We probably needed another 15 minutes to complete because we got hung up on one of the puzzles that needed a piece we hadn't found yet.

I'd like to do it again but would like to go with people who have actually have played escape games (esp. Japanese) before.
