Stash HouseStash HouseEscape roomIRLTons of fun! A lot going on, many non linear puzzles happening at once, but the objective is super clear and creative. The puzzles seemed like they made sense and mostly flowed narratively. It isn’t the most high tech room, but the intention and detail made it super strong. The extra length was PERFECT - all rooms should be this long. Wish there was even more of a tie-in of LA hip-hop/music. Great for a medium sized group
Whatever Happened To The Garretts?Maze Rooms West LAEscape roomIRLThis was an all time favorite room. The design is stunning - really well done. The room is linear, so there aren’t any red herrings. Better for a smaller group for this reason. We did with a group of 4 and got out with 10 mins to spare.
TombstoneMaze Rooms West LAEscape roomIRLthe production design was superb, and the effects across the board were impressive. i felt there were opportunities to make set pieces even more immersive. the world building is one of the strongest i’ve seen in a room.
They're ComingMaze Rooms Culver CityEscape roomIRLthis was FUN! the storytelling is top notch from jump. the layout of the room is exciting, while quite linear. the stakes of a zombie attack, and the progression of the impending doom makes it even more interesting - would love to see this room with live actors. this is a room that could benefit from longer game play time AND more space. lots of opportunities to flesh out a larger concept with more tech, more jumpscares, etc.
Escape The Hydeout: The Mystery Of Henry JekyllMission Escape GamesEscape roomIRLevery puzzle was the same - it was mid overall. not bad, but i expect more since the other rooms are stellar.
Jack The RipperMaze Rooms Culver CityEscape roomIRLthe story was fun, and it had a very straightforward non-linear objective. the room felt a bit older … less impressive technically than the other maze rooms, BUT you could tell the room was made with love and passion. great beginner room.
Sherlock Holmes & Beautiful MindMaze Rooms - Robertson BlvdEscape roomIRLcompared to their other rooms, this one felt a bit mid. very easy and a bit anticlimactic to get out of. expected more, but the tech was nice.
Old Sparky101 Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLthe theming was very sparse - fluorescent lights on and very little theatricality. one of the puzzles was already solved for us when we got to it, and honestly we were relieved because it felt more like a time waster than a solid puzzle.
