40 ThievesMindTrap Escape Room - TemeculaEscape roomIRLThis game was really fun and the set was beautiful. I’d say it’s not very difficult but there were so so many puzzles to do so that made up for it. I did it with one other experienced player and we rapidly got through every puzzle and still made it out with only 3 minutes left!
The Weeping WitchCross Roads Escape GamesEscape roomIRLI’m not a huge fan of scary escape rooms but this one was really memorable and beautifully done! Team work and good communication is a must here. Was really impressed by the set design.
Ghost LightMyss Tic RoomsEscape roomIRLBeautiful set. Some of the puzzles were more intellectual rather than intuitive, so my friend excelled while I was a bit lost in some sections. But it was fantastic!
Montauk ProjectMyss Tic RoomsEscape roomIRLLOVED this room. My favorite room at this venue. It was the perfect amount of difficult, and oh so satisfying, with some really impressive puzzles! And the GM was a very friendly guy. Highly recommend.
The Nest [Immersive Theatre]Hatch Escapes - LAEscape roomIRLThe overall experience was beautiful, but I will say that as someone who’s afraid of the dark, the fear I had distracted me from the story for about 50% of it. I plan to go again and really take in the story and try to not get the darkness and cramped space get the best of me. Just keep in mind if you are afraid of the dark that nothing truly scary ever happens, try to relax and enjoy the story!
Magic LampGnome & RavenEscape roomIRLThis room was absolutely gorgeous and a fun ambience. The puzzle quality was alright, I didn’t find it to flow super well and it did leave me frustrated at times, as we needed a few hints to keep things going. Lots of red herrings. But overall the set design was so immersive and fun. Not my favorite puzzle play.
AvalancheMaze Rooms - Robertson BlvdEscape roomIRLReally creative and exciting elements in this room. Not enough difficulty or puzzle play in my opinion but was still a good time!
Mission's Breakout: The Ultimate Bank HeistMission Escape GamesEscape roomIRLLOVED this room. The puzzles were all very satisfying and the flow was brilliant. We needed a couple of hints but it was just myself and another less experienced player, I think with 3 or 4 players it would have been easier. It was a blast!
Conspiracy Of Tia Canyons CorpMindTrap Escape Room - TemeculaEscape roomIRLReally great room. Did it with one other experienced player and we were stumped at some moments but it was so satisfying when we figured it out!
Project 5150Hypnotic Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLThis is a really special company, you can tell they’re so passionate about what they do. This is my favorite game of theirs- it included the perfect blend of intuitive and analytical puzzles and was so much fun!! I did with one other inexperienced player - he loved it. It was definitely difficult but still doable! The ending was possibly the best I’ve ever experienced- do this room!! 10/10
