Irvine School Of Wizardry And The Dragon WandHidden DonkeyEscape roomIRLThe atmosphere was exceptional! My girlfriend is a huge Harry Potter fan and absolutely loved this room! It truly felt like you were walking into Hogwarts and could do real magic! The puzzles weren’t particularly difficult it just took a minute to figure out the right puzzle the clues belonged to at first. This room used a mix of mechanical and technical locks but mainly high tech that never seen before in other escape rooms. We had a group of 4 which was helpful I think less would’ve been a little more difficult but we made it through using our spells! Also heard from our GM they are opening up another room at this company within the next 4 months and it’ll be another wizard themed room so we are super excited and want to come back for that!
The Family CabinQuicksand Escape GamesEscape roomIRLI loved the room itself with feeling like it was entering your family’s cabin. The puzzles were mixed with mechanical and high tech which were super fun to do! There was only 2 of us and I have to say it made it seem like we were on a time crunch based on how many puzzles there were. The room is linear which helped us as a team of two. We had a few issues along the way such as our GM randomly came into the room to check on something then left which left us confused. Then the last puzzle which is what we needed to “win” the game didn’t work so there wasn’t a very anticlimactic ending. The GM didn’t help in that either because he (I didn’t get his name) said “it’s not working but you did win.” The tone just wasn’t very excited as it should be when you beat the room. The GM may have killed our vibe but we didn’t let that ruin our game experience! Still a fun room to do!
S.A.S.H.A: Home Of The FutureWild Goose Escapes FullertonEscape roomIRLDefinitely a very cool experience in the house. Niall was our GM and he gave great instructions. The room is definitely a lot easier with more than 3 people. The room is multi-linear which is cool and I like how high tech it is. Must do! Different variation of codes and not many locks!
The Return Of The MagicianUNLOCKED: Escape RoomEscape roomIRLThe whole vibe felt like being part of a magic act which was cool! Had actual props a magician would use as well at references to actual magicians which was cool! The start of the game was definitely interesting and different. My group completed with 4 min left with 3 people I was very surprised it was on the more difficult side but I would recommend a group of 4 minimum due to the difficulty of the puzzles! We asked for a few hints however just needed an extra little push. Room was sort of linear but super fun to do! Definitely recommend fun for everyone especially little kids!
An Office EscapeCinema Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLThe office escape room was amazing I am a huge fan so i geeked out on the room! The clues were definitely on the more difficult side but it was worth the challenge! Trina the game master was very helpful!
Escape the Darkest Hour: Torture ChamberMission Escape GamesEscape roomIRLFirst off just like the other reviews mention I am also a huge scaredy cat so this room had me on my toes the entire time! The room set up was amazing really felt like you were in a torture chamber and had you panicking about time with special surprises along the way. A group of 3 or 4 is recommended but at least have one person in your group that can handle the scariness so they can concentrate on getting the puzzles solved and not so much of getting scared! The puzzles itself weren’t difficult but when you are racing to get it done and it’s hard to see they become hard to solve. This is the room if you want to get your adrenaline pumping the whole time! It was a fun experience overall probably one of my top 3 favorite escape room!
Prison BreakThe Escape GameEscape roomIRLI honestly think my girlfriend and I would’ve enjoyed this game a lot more if we went with our usual group but that’s okay. There was still good things about this room like actually feeling like you were trying to break out of prison! It is a very hard room so I would suggest a group of about 5-6 because a lot of communication is needed for the beginning! There were a ton of puzzles as well so there a lot to figure out. There was somewhat of physical activity but this can be avoided if someone doesn’t want to. Definitely a great game to check out I’m really excited to try the other games at this company!
Elevate: SkyloungeWild Goose Escapes - IrvineEscape roomIRLI did this room before it opened for Beta Testing and it was super fun to do! Once you are out of the first room it feels like you are in an actual club with a bar super cool clues! Very high tech and makes you think so pay attention to every detail of the room! My group escape with 4 min left and only had two people. The rooms start off linear then go to non linear which was cool! Definitely a room to check out!
The House Next DoorWild Goose Escapes - IrvineEscape roomIRLDid this room the very first day of beta testing so it did have some things happen but it didn’t take away from the experience of the room! It is definitely on the more difficult side with how unique the puzzles are and really makes you think. I would say a minimum of 4 people is needed due to how nonlinear the room is. The room set up was super cool though felt like you were breaking in to someone’s house!
A Strange ThingCinema Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLSuper fun room whether you are a stranger things fan or not! The room was a bit suspenseful but nothing crazy. My team of 4 killed it with fun clues that took you back to the 90’s! You have to check out this room!
