Whatever Happened To The Garretts?Maze Rooms West LAEscape roomIRLThe classic good but not great game. Game master left one puzzle door open by accident which meant we spent some time confused trying to jump ahead and could have in theory skipped like half the game. The sound bit at the end is unecessarily complex and tedious: when you get to it, you’ll know it bc you’ll be annoyed at the straihtforward but incredibly meticulous button clicking.
EscobarThe Escape RevolutionEscape roomIRLGood but not great. This is one of the few rooms that neither impressed nor disappointed. Most puzzles were straightforward; a were couple non-sensical and convoluted.
InksidiousEscape Room 66 - Los AngelesEscape roomIRLA very good room that is a must-do for any hardcore escape-roomers! Mostly mechanical and not super flashy (which is a good change of pace for SoCal rooms actually); excellent gameplay and super friendly staff
The PerfumerQuest Room - HollywoodEscape roomIRLThis room was fine and would’ve been good with more people. We were a group of two that has never lost a room, and we’ve both done about 25. We finished this one, but barely and not without a lot of hints. Our GM kinda sucked and the hints weren’t very helpful though — sometimes that happens with unenthusiastic staff when you book a late night room I guess. This room would be fine, but really it should be a 3-8 person room given the amount of puzzles and the large amount of room. If you have an expert group of 4+ go for it! If not, don’t bother.
TombstoneMaze Rooms West LAEscape roomIRLOne of our puzzles wouldn’t open which really broke immersion. Game master had to write the clue by hand (his handwriting was definitely NOT legible), but overall it was fine. Definitely nothing special. imo the two rooms at this location are fairly mediocre but definitely not truly bad rooms. They are worth doing if you’ve done most rooms in los angeles, but this is one of the most over-rated rooms out there
They're ComingMaze Rooms Culver CityEscape roomIRLHard disagree with most of the other reviews here. This room was BAD. Nothing was hard, and all of the puzzles were incredibly linear. However, a bad game master and non-sensical logic jumps ruined this game entirely. The only reason this room has a 20% pass rate is the bad puzzle design. There is a puzzle at the end that is especially dumb once the last hatch opens. Our puzzle master also told us nearly ten minutes after we had completed a section of the game that there was one piece just slightly misaligned while we searched for more clues. Big thumbs down.
Down The Rabbit HoleTrapped! Escape Room UplandEscape roomIRLFun, but all of the hints have this god awful squealy rabbit voice changer over them that makes the GM literally impossible to understand
Area 51Maze Rooms - Robertson BlvdEscape roomIRLHands down one of the best rooms we’ve done. This room is straight up phenomenal! It’s incredibly rare that tech is so well implemented, and this is one of those rare rooms. Bravo
Men In Suits (MIS)Maze Rooms LAXEscape roomIRLSo so so so weird. The person who designed this room must have been on something because it is just so damn strange.
Sherlock Holmes & Beautiful MindMaze Rooms - Robertson BlvdEscape roomIRLThis room sucked. The other two rooms at this location were some of the best rooms we’ve ever done, so came in with high expectations. We liked the last room so much we actually decided to stay and do their last one, and that turned out to be a huge mistake… Two broken puzzles, and we still finished this room in a half hour with two players. The puzzles sucked or were broken, and the ones that did work were either super straightforward or didn’t make sense. Just awful 2/10
