Treasure IslandBrain Games Escape RoomEscape roomIRLWOW! One of the better production rooms! If you’re wondering-YES YOU SHOULD BOOK IT! Loved the puzzles, the rooms, the tech, the humor- great Easter eggs. It all makes sense and you will enjoy the entire game. Two of us took the entire time with a couple pushes in the right direction. 4ppl is plenty. 2 ppl can do this easy enough. Cool tech throughout, great props and a lot of puzzles! I left feeling great and completely satisfied.
Stash HouseStash HouseEscape roomIRLDO THIS ROOM! Do it! It’s funny, the concept is great the game master is perfect, the space really sets the mood and we had a blast. The puzzles were “just enough” to keep you moving and we never felt hung up or confused about how we were moving through the game. We did this room with 5 and that was PLENTY. You could have more, but it’s just not needed. Grab a few friends and book it! So-the concept is adult. Maybe not a room to take the tweens to for a birthday. Parking is on street so arrive a little early to allow for that. We went to a little tea place around the corner to burn time. There’s no lobby. You walk directly into the game. Bring some water-the space is big and you move around a lot. I felt incredibly satisfied at the end. I wish I could forget the puzzles and do it again, that’s how much fun I had.
Lab RatHatch Escapes - LAEscape roomIRLA solid game that’s great for an experienced team or anyone just starting out with escape rooms. You need to divide and concur-so 4 or more is best. We had 6 and that seemed too many for our level of game play. Unique concept. Great layout. Fun props that really got you into the theme! Puzzles were interesting and didn’t disappoint. It’s a big space, so come ready to move around! We had a great time and I felt completely satisfied at the end. The location is easy to find, parking wasn’t an issue and the lobby was great. Game master was hysterical-with clues that never quite gave you a clear answer, more of a slight nudge toward finding the solution on your own. You should do this room no matter what level of game play your at-you’ll have a great time!
Irvine School Of Wizardry And The Dragon WandHidden DonkeyEscape roomIRLWhy are all escape rooms so warm? Entry into the room was pretty cool-you’re given linear puzzles that are fun and move you along. The visuals are great, they keep you engaged the entire time-but don’t crowd this room with a huge team. 2 experienced ppl, 4 if you’re just getting started with escape rooms is enough. The tech makes sense and would seem extra cool for some younger enthusiasts! Give it a try. The game master was a great guy, the room was fun and I felt satisfied at the end with the experience. It’s not the hardest game you’ll play, but the design and creativity make it worth the visit - especially if you’re breaking into the hobby or you have tweens interested in trying an escape room out. This room will make you want to do more escape rooms, that’s for sure!
The 13th BasementThe Exit Game AnaheimEscape roomIRLGreat meeting-loved the lobby, clean bathrooms wonderful walk through. The introduction was creative, game start built the anticipation and the beginning space was funny scary. The atmosphere definitely set the mood. The puzzles weren’t that difficult-it was the anticipation of the scare that made it so hard to focus!! It was hysterical sometimes. We had a great time. The ending will not disappoint. Overall-I left satisfied with this room and the game master. Definitely should give it a try-especially if you’re interested in seeing what a scary room could be like.
The Nest [Immersive Theatre]Hatch Escapes - LAEscape roomIRLAll right-I won’t spoil anything! Promise. Go with the idea of a space between an interactive play or close up magic show and the pirates of emirates. There are clues along the way that tell a story and emotionally engage your senses. You shouldn’t read too much about this place, it can ruin what it’s meant to be like-unknown(ooooooo) So, I wouldn’t take a kid. I’d go with only one other person- and just be into it. The end is worth it alone!! I left satisfied and super glad I did it. Game master was engaging, nice and played the part well.
Red GiantQuest Room - HollywoodEscape roomIRLThis location is a little sketchy. Make sure you don’t leave anything in the car. NOW-for the room - really cool!! The set up and intro set the scene, the game master was on point and the opening room immersed you in the theme right away! Puzzles were interesting and moved you logically through the space-the ending was great! This room feels next gen with the tech and second gen with the tasks. Over all I felt satisfied when I finished this room. It’s doable with 2 ppl. 4 ppl would still have fun. 5 got crowded. Beginners to advanced players will have fun here.
Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle60Out MelroseEscape roomIRLI’m torn. Was it great? Not really. Was it horrible-no, not really. It was almost awesome and then not impressive and then kinda cool. The concept is cool, right? Jumanji! They start off on the right foot, and the transition into the next space really hypes you up. The puzzles were ok. The set design was good. Definitely better at the end. It felt like the middle of the game was just a step to the end and didn’t really have the “meat” you were set up for. The end was unique-and for that, I’m glad I did the room. I haven’t seen that in a room so far and it was definitely a surprise. This is a room for a team of 4. You could do this with two experienced people, but not alone. If youre just starting out with escape rooms, I say go. Have a great time. If you’re looking for something interesting and you’re an experienced team-you may feel like I did at the end. Just ok I was satisfied at the end, just disappointed in the puzzles. Give it a go. See what you think.
Wildlife Tour (Price Schedule with Rate Sheets)FareHarborEscape roomIRLGreat room-4 ppl is plenty. 2 ppl is good too. You can’t do this solo (need two ppl for a couple puzzles) I consider this a next gen room. Some of tech didn’t quite work, so our time was used up in waiting for the fix. The Game Master in the room was ok, not too intrusive. Seems like he’s there BECAUSE the tech is sketch. Over all, the room was immersive, it felt Atlantis-y. Puzzles were fun. Lobby is cool-go early for some pre game lobby puzzles. I left satisfied in the end and we were glad we did it.
Timeliner: Train Through TimeThe Escape Game San JoseEscape roomIRLIf youre just getting started with escape rooms, if you’re on a date or looking to get the kids/teens into a room-this is a good choice. Technically a room where the concept is clear and the puzzles sort of go with the theme, but it all makes zero sense…..if that makes sense. The tech was good, the set design was ok. You were lead through the game and it was clear what you needed to do and what would come next. This room is next gen for sure, it’s big box, it’s using space in a much more efficient way. I wasn’t satisfied leaving, but my kid was! She liked it a lot! 2 is plenty if experienced. 4 is more than enough. Also, there was no A/C in there, so we were insanely hot(most likely from the tech)
