    Lab Rat

    Hatch Escapes - LA

    All time favorite escape room. It was completely immersive and you genuinely felt like a human lab rat in a giant maze. Lots of fun mechanics and I don’t think there was a single combination lock in the whole game.

    Story didn’t seem well thought out and was kind of chaotic but not in a way that built tension for participants. Lots of interesting puzzle mechanics and really high quality set design. Somehow the ending felt anticlimactic and there wasn’t a huge sense of accomplishment even though we escaped.

    Cyber Raccoon Escape Room

    Great atmosphere and puzzles. Felt a bit too linear but I understand the need the way the story was unfolding. It did mean though towards the middle and the end that sometimes we had 1-2 extra people with nothing to do (we were a group of 5). Clever mechanics, good storyline, and high quality puzzles. I’d definitely recommend it but I’m not sure if it’s on my list of favorites.

    Quest Room - Redondo Beach

    Really high tech. One of the rooms legitimately looked like we were outside and the lights/sounds changed as the weather changed - it felt realistic. The actor component was well done and integrated well. I love that the story encouraged us to be silly and have fun. It was a great time. Lots of puzzles for a group to solve without feeling like we’re on top of each other. Highly recommend for a group. Did it for a work bonding thing. Not for people who want a challenge as it wasn’t that hard but it was fun. If you take yourself too seriously you might not like the sillier parts of the game though (dancing chanting).

    Extremely linear and mostly combination locks. Room was sparsely decorated and had minimal ambiance to the theme of the room. We were told this one was the hardest but it wasn’t too bad just that it had so many combination locks. A little boring.
