The StorykeeperLocurioEscape roomIRLOverall - a great room I would recommend to anyone! Excellent decor and actors were great. The clue giving was clever. The only thing I didn’t like about the room was that it was mostly linear and there would be some tight spaces if you had more than 4 people. Would recommend if you are in the Seattle area!
Stash HouseStash HouseEscape roomIRLI’ve done well over 100 escape rooms - this is easily in my top 10 escape rooms. The GM was very kind and willing to talk to us after! Really down to earth person. Fantastic set, there were things hidden so well in it, plus a lot of amazing surprises. Puzzles were fantastic and all on theme. Puzzles were also very unique - I haven’t done puzzles like that before. The way you received clues is unique and I loved it. Very non linear, I could do the room again and solve a whole new set of puzzles. If you like the 90s there are cute Easter eggs for you as well. Perfect amount of seriousness and silliness while still playing on the theme. Would highly recommend doing Stash House if you only had time for one escape room in LA.
Lab RatHatch Escapes - LAEscape roomIRLOverall, Lap Rat is a decent escape room. It is a very linear room, which is not my favorite. Our GM for our team did a so-so job. However, the set was very adorable, the story was fun, and most of the puzzles were on theme. I wish I could say I loved this room (I had heard so much about it being amazing!) - but it was simply an average experience. All of the reviews of this room rave about it, which makes me feel like I am missing something that everyone else had, but how could I? The room was too linear for me to have had done different puzzles.
The Vanishing ActLocurioEscape roomIRLOverall, a solid escape room. I prefer their other room over this one, but if you’re looking for an escape room I wouldn’t skip over this one! The story was a little under developed. Lots of puzzles to work on, so if you have a bigger team that will help. Mostly non-linear. Some puzzles did not fit completely in the theme but nothing felt so far off that I was taken out of the immersion. Game master was great! Set was good, but nothing mind blowing. Don’t regret going, had a great time!
Whatever Happened To The Garretts?Maze Rooms West LAEscape roomIRLWhatever Happened to the Garrets is a fun escape room. Kind of an average theme with some good Easter eggs if you enjoy 80’s pop culture. A very linear escape room, I would recommend less people if you are experienced, but overall not more than 5 people. The rooms inside of the escape room can be a bit small. Had some very interesting puzzles, ones I quite enjoyed. I wouldn’t play it again, but I would recommend it to people who haven’t done an escape room before.
MisfortuneMichigan Escape RoomEscape roomIRLEasily one of the best decorated and themed rooms I’ve ever done. Plays into the theme so well and most of the puzzles were unique and fit. There were a few surprises in the room that I didn’t expect - which was awesome! My favorite room at this location.
The ElevatorMichigan Escape RoomEscape roomIRLOne of my favorite rooms - you split your team into two and communicate to solve puzzles in a rocking elevator. A very cool idea executed very well. The story was a bit vague, but I was very immersed in the story, so I can forgive that.
Kidnapped In The WarehouseMichigan Escape RoomEscape roomIRLThe story, theme, etc isn’t anything extraordinary but this room is amazing at this location. Well done! There were a few puzzles that didn’t quite fit the theme, but there wasn’t that many. The props were out of this world. Truly, the GM made my experience here.
Cyberpunk SamuraiMaze Rooms LAXEscape roomIRLThis room, when booking, was very exciting to me! A story I’ve never seen before. However, in the room, the story was kinda meh. The story took a weird turn at the end that wasn’t clear to me. GM was average - to be fair we didn’t ask them for any clues so they really didn’t get time to shine. Had to ask clues through a walkie talkie which is my least favorite way to get clues. The set however? Beautiful. Certain puzzles are very cool and in theme.
CheckMateMichigan Escape GamesEscape roomIRLThis is one of the weaker rooms at this location. The only saving grace of this room is the set. Seeing all the board games on the walls is cool. However, the puzzles feel like they put a team of people together and said “I need you all to come up with 3 puzzles for this room” and none of them really connect. You solve so many locks and puzzles to unlock one thing and then two people are separated so they can essentially finish the rest of the room. Also on the website they say this can fit 12 or 14 ish, I would not recommend any over 6
