Houdini60Out Silver LakeEscape roomIRLFun room! We moved through pretty smoothly. Plenty of red herrings to distract along the way. The room met my expectations for its theme. I thought aspects of it were very clever.
TombstoneMaze Rooms West LAEscape roomIRLFun room with lots of puzzles. It’s mostly, though not exclusively, linear. We stumbled early on due to the dim lighting. That was very disappointing and frustrating! But once we got past that obstacle, we were able to move forward and finish the mission. Staff was friendly and the room’s mechanics were cool. I was not interested in the theme, but reviews were so good that I couldn’t resist. I’m glad we did it!
The Ramen ShopMystery Maui Escape RoomEscape roomIRLWe really liked the concept and design. You enter a small restaurant & kitchen. A bit too much for 2 people. We were directed to 2 things to read at first which sucked up some time. Completely relevant, but the clock was ticking. Still, much of what we needed was contained in those pages. We were so close to finishing that he gave us an extra minute.
Cyberpunk SamuraiMaze Rooms LAXEscape roomIRLThe story is … what? But the puzzles were interesting and fun. It gets very, very loud.
The Salem Witch HuntBack In Time Escape Rooms - Harbor CityEscape roomIRLCute room. Listed as Medium, but we we told it was a beginner’s room upon arrival. Not terribly complicated, though we did ask for 1 clue towards the end. Fun atmosphere. Loved the theme, but would have been happier had it been a little more involved.
Sherlock Holmes & Beautiful MindMaze Rooms - Robertson BlvdEscape roomIRLOverall decent room. No mechanical issues and we escaped with plenty of time on the clock. But I have to say that it was a little too easy. We got stalled at the start, completely missing what the single clue connected to. Once passed that, it flowed pretty evenly. Most of the props are stationary and can’t be moved. It’s so much more challenging when there are red herrings. So, in hindsight, not as great as it could have been. Worth doing, but not particularly difficult.
Amityville60Out Silver LakeEscape roomIRLFun room with a great, spooky theme. Generally intuitive with an easy linear flow. A couple clues could have been better, but overall good experience. Room was missing 1 crucial clue due to a prop being refreshed. Staff apologized and hopefully fixed.
