Time MachineNot Another Escape RoomEscape roomIRLThe Time Machine will power down in April so make sure you try this room asap! This will blow your mind. There were a lot moments that were jaw dropping and I couldn’t stop thinking about what happened and how it was done. The room difficulty is rated medium but it’s easy for enthusiasts. This room is not meant to be chugged down. You have 75 minutes to take it all in. All of the puzzles made sense with no analysis paralysis. Certain parts were linear but mostly non-linear. Like an hour-glass (how fitting). We really enjoyed the nostalgic moments that kinda distracted us cause we were having so much fun with them. The guys who hosted us do amazing work bringing their vision to life.
The Weeping WitchCross Roads Escape GamesEscape roomIRLAdd this to your list if you need to improve your blood circulation! The Weeping Witch delivered a horrifying theatrical experience guaranteed to haunt my thoughts forever. I still can’t stop thinking how well the production quality was and the timing of everything. There are some tasks that need to be performed that are insane and it took my group awhile to decide who was going to do it. I’ve done a handful of horror themed escape rooms and they are typically pretty easy but WW was definitely a lot more “thinkier” in some parts, but not impossible. The way hints are delivered was a great touch and a nice break from being terrified. I would definitely play it again!
The Last SupperQuest TavernEscape roomIRLTop favorite escape room!! I can’t stop thinking about how epic this room was. Before I talk about the room, I’d like to highlight QT’s customer service. Nico truly made this a core memory for us. It had been a pretty rough week and we wanted to do The Bridge Between and Last Supper back to back. She was able to accommodate us with both rooms. What a great way to end the night — Bravo! The room was “God Tier”. Diego played the role of Lord Garrick and kept us at the edge of our seats from start to finish. It was a good blend of horror and humor. He really got us to stir our creative juices at the dining table. This escape room was a different breed. Expect more of a theatrical experience laced with puzzles here and there….and there! Participation is highly encouraged to get the full experience. If you don’t participate, you get ate! Lord Garrick was marinating us till the end where momentum was intense and exhilarating! The puzzles were not hard but adding the pressure of “being dinner” added a sense of urgency. I’ll be back with more victims for Lord Garrick!!!
The Hex RoomCross Roads Escape GamesEscape roomIRLEvery room from Crossroads is a theatrical experience. Make sure you add the Hex Room to your escape room excursion, but to truly get the full experience, you need 6 players, nothing more or less. Before you do the room, you take a personality test to find out what role you play in this scary movie you’ve put yourself into. The roles include the rebel, the prom queen, the jock, the virgin, the nerd, and the investigator. Each player is locked in their own room of their assigned role, forming a hex around the investigator, who is the main conduit of communication between all players. You’re not completely locked away from life…-ish. The flow of the room is like a funnel, non-linear to linear. All players have to escape their rooms and then everyone has to survive together. The puzzles are not hard for experienced players. I would recommend an experienced player be the investigator if possible because they are pretty much assisting everyone. Your communication and listening skills will definitely be tested! Even though the room is horror-themed, I thought it was more suspenseful than scary. This is definitely a room to try out if any experienced players are iffy about doing scary rooms. If you could get passed the scary theme, you’ll see how great the production quality. The Hex Room also sustains well in the industry since you could replay with a different role and have an entirely new experience!!!!
Irvine School Of Wizardry And The Dragon WandHidden DonkeyEscape roomIRLHidden Donkey is hidden in a business community near John Wayne Airport but it was still easy to find. This room was a lot of fun for all ages. If you love Harry Potter, you’ll have a great time here! The production quality is amazing. The puzzles ranged from easy to thought-provoking, and they were all a lot of fun solving. There is one task that may not be accessible to some players. I always recommend this room to anyone new to this growing industry!
The Bridge BetweenQuest TavernEscape roomIRLQT sets the bar high for all of us. I’d like to highlight the amazing customer service. We had a rough week and Nico was able to accommodate both, The Bridge Between and Last Supper, rooms back to back this evening. This room is puzzle heavy and follows a non-linear format. There was a lot of fun puzzles and the ending……!
The Mad RapperScenario Escape RoomEscape roomIRLThis was a pretty fun room. There’s some familiar puzzles and some dexterity ones for everyone to enjoy. It did a good job lacing their puzzles into the storyline and not just a room full of puzzles

The Asylum: PlaytimeLost GamesEscape roomIRLI could see why this room received the recognitions. The hype is real!! The variety of puzzles drove the “playtime” story forward and accommodated each of our own strengths and it was satisfying solving each puzzle. There was only one task that wasted our time but we got it eventually. Like everyone says, their hint delivery system is top notch and I encourage everyone to interact with “it”. Our GM, Chris, delivered an Oscar winning performance with his role as Sally! (Also as Cookie in Part 1.) We did the series in two days due to our availability; I recommend doing it back to back. This room is not scary to me but may be to others. It has a dark storyline. There’s short moments of darkness and that’s about it. The guys at LG know what their doing. If you’re looking to do an escape room in LV, put this on your list!!!
The Curse Of The Black KnightEscapeX Rooms IrvineEscape roomIRLI’d you’re looking for a good medieval gen 1 room, I recommend checking this room out! The set design and the way the space was used is phenomenal. You’ll definitely get some steps in with this; make sure everything below the waist is working properly! The room is on the easier side and it follows a linear path and is better for smaller groups because of some of the tight spaces. There is a strict age requirement of 13 years age; anyone under is not permitted. This room is an oldie but it’s a Goldie!
