Great Escape Games is the largest gaming and hobby store in Northern California. Great Escape Games is Sacramento’s premier gaming and hobby store.
(321)

We are located at 1250 Howe Avenue , next to Crunch Fitness in the southeast corner of the shopping center. We are one of the oldest game stores in Sacramento (having opened our doors in 1996) and are the largest specialty game store in the Sacramento region and perhaps in the state. In addition to over 6,000 sq ft of retail space, we also have over 3,000 sq ft of free gaming space as well as private game rooms available to rent. No one in the Central Valley comes close to having our selection of games and gaming supplies. Our number one focus is providing the absolute best customer service possible and our reviews reflect this. We do not consider ourselves a retail business, we are a customer service business. You can also shop on-line with us at https://americasgamestore.com/
