Hope EndThe Ministry Of PeculiaritiesEscape roomIRLThere is a reason this room has stayed on the top of the community score list for OC/LA and easily one of my favorite rooms so far. As soon as you step foot inside the door, you’re fully immersed into The Ministry of Peculiarities, where even the lobby becomes part of the experience. The production quality is over the top and amazing. The puzzles are incredibly clever and true to the room’s storyline. However, I will say that some were a bit too…subtle? As in, it was a bit hard to tell sometimes if you were finished solving a puzzle. Other than that, amazing room!
Treasure IslandBrain Games Escape RoomEscape roomIRLThis room was really fun and kind of adorable! We brought our 4yo kid and he loved it! (Didn’t actually help with any puzzles, but his enthusiasm was infectious). Great mix of puzzles, lots of very clever ones. Usually, I try to come up with one thing that may need improvement, but for this room, I just can’t. Highly recommended!
The Weeping WitchCross Roads Escape GamesEscape roomIRLScary rooms aren’t typically high on my list, but this is one of the few exceptions. I really loved this room, it was so much fun! First of all, the staff here did a great job of getting our team pumped and immersed into the game. Secondly, for such a small room, the production quality is incredible. Finally, and without giving too much away, this may be one of the situations where the GM’s engagement really matters!
Irvine School Of Wizardry And The Dragon WandHidden DonkeyEscape roomIRLThis was the first room we ever brought our son to. He was 4yo at the time and absolutely loved the experience! The gameplay was great, the flow was linear without leaving players out of things to do, and there was a good mix of different puzzles.
WarlockedQuest Room - Redondo BeachEscape roomIRLHighly recommend, and it was good for kids! There were a lot of ways to make sure the kids were engaged and involved. I also appreciated that the GM made sure to let us know about anything in the room that might startle kids or would be difficult for them.
Loot Wars: The HarvestKing's Eye EscapeEscape roomIRLGreat Gen 1 room. The storyline was great and the puzzles were very innovative and crafty. There were a couple puzzles that almost stumped us, but overall, enjoyable room.
