Stash HouseStash HouseEscape roomIRLOverall a great room! I do wish the hint system was a little less generous to give players the opportunity to investigate and poke around first. I understand that the goal is to have people pass, but felt a little less satisfying given how generous the hints are.
Zodiac KillerWild Goose Escapes Huntington BeachEscape roomIRLThis was one of those experiences where I wish it wasn’t as bad as it was. Our GM didn’t help prep us (other than summarizing the theme of the room we were entering), and we had a first-timer join us and not really understand what he was looking for or getting into. Early on, we were split up where certain members did literally nothing until we reached the next phase of the room, and the poor set design failed us early on so that we were forced to use a hint sooner than expected. While we still escaped, it wasn’t nearly satisfying after all that we’d experienced.
The AtticEscapeX Rooms IrvineEscape roomIRLTo be honest, I went in not knowing this was a scary/creepy room. Check in was easy, and our GM was knowledgeable and so on point for our entire game (Thanks, Tim!) This is a non-linear room with a lot of interesting puzzles. My best advice: try not to be too scared & keep your mind open to the different hints and clues you find along the way. Overall, very true-to-theme atmosphere with lots of fun puzzles.
Wanted In The WestBrainy ActzEscape roomIRLI would keep expectations low. The gameplay was easy enough and aspects of the set were pretty interesting. We had a pretty distracted GM (handling another room with kids) and didn’t get an accurate end time. Overall though was a fun enough, last minute room, but wouldn’t book this in advance.
