Lab RatHatch Escapes - LAEscape roomIRLI can’t stop thinking about this room since I did it. SO MUCH FUN. I wish I could eternal sunshine of the spotless mind myself just so I could play this room again. The set design, creativity and immersion were exceptional. Literally was running around like a kid in a candy store. We played with 3 adults and finished with just over 10 minutes to spare. Our wonderful game master was very attentive and kept us on direction and on track without giving any overt clues away. Can’t wait to go back and play the Ladder when it opens.
The Bridge BetweenQuest TavernEscape roomIRLAbsolutely adored The Bridge Between. One of my top five. This room is a puzzler-lover’s epic dream. SO MANY PUZZLES. At the start, the sheer number of tasks seemed overwhelming and intimidating for our group of two. It required a diligent mix of independent puzzle solving and teamwork as many of the puzzles were layered and overlapping. The emergence from this room was beautiful and magical, a true fairy tale ending. A must-do for enthusiasts.
The 13th BasementThe Exit Game AnaheimEscape roomIRLCleverly thought out room and loads of fun especially for those who do a lot of escape rooms. The theme is satirical and self aware, taking the piss at common escape room tropes. Nice diversity in the puzzle mix and every puzzle was sensical and satisfying. Our GM Jeremiah was very attentive and explained everything thoroughly in the intro and debrief. Seems like a “must-do” rooms for enthusiasts.
The Secret At Whitmore EstateBreaking Point Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLBeautifully done room with a fun mix of puzzles and tech. The kind of room that looks like it was designed by an enthusiast. Storyline was well incorporated in the puzzles. Enjoyable and challenging for two players.
Atlantis: The Forgotten CityHypnotic Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLAbsolutely STUNNING room. Took a solid minute after walking in to just admire it in all its majesty. Family-run business where you can see all the thoughtfulness, labor and pride that went into creating high-quality rooms.
ExcaliburMindTrap Escape Room - MurrietaEscape roomIRLLovely set design, on theme from floor to ceiling. From the moment we walked in the sound and feel of creaking floorboards and flickering candlelight set the scene. Fairly straightforward puzzles and not loads of tasks to complete but had a couple puzzles with cleverly subtle use of the environment that we hadn’t encountered before. This room seems suitable for all group sizes and experience levels.
The SilenceThe 13th RoomEscape roomIRLScary. The actor was excellent and crucial to the excitement of this room. The puzzles were so-so; the adrenaline factor created was what made this room exceptional.
Whatever Happened To The Garretts?Maze Rooms West LAEscape roomIRLI was so excited to play this room because of the 80’s theme. It did not disappoint. Exciting game progression that shifted from 80’s nostalgia to something completely unexpected. We found it challenging for two players, only narrowly escaping. Loads of fun.
Wrongfully ConvictedThe Escape RevolutionEscape roomIRLDefinitely was feeling the pressure at the start of this room! Immersive game (they even gave us prison tattoos at the entrance). Large space with multiple areas to explore and run around. Volume of puzzles not overwhelming for two players but we required a few clues. They have a small parking lot which is great since street parking near Melrose can be tricky.
