I love this Escape room company!! One of my top escape rooms. The concept was amazing and actually felt like we were on a train!

It’s was okay. Very simple but set design was great. The only thing I didn’t like was that fact that you get paired with strangers to do the room. So you have to pay extra for private rooms when an average private room costs what you’re paying to play with strangers. And there’s no telling if you’ll get a good group to get along with. Overall the room was good beginner room to do.

As expected from the Escape Game, Timeliner had a very solid set. I thought that the train vibes would feel cheesy, but the screens (high definition train windows) were actually very fun to use. You don't really spend a lot of time in each era, but feeling as though you are traveling to a different time period and location with a train ticket was surprisingly enjoyable. The room was very easy, but I generally recommend The Escape Game chain to newer players as a way to get them into the hobby. Even without rushing the room, my group had plenty of time left. As someone who has done other Escape Game rooms, I think that this one is better than Special Ops or Prison Break, but Depths and Playground are stronger rooms. I definitely did not regret driving out to the San Bernardino location so that I could get the opportunity to play it.
The GM was ready to give us nudges as necessary, but as I mentioned that my SO and I have done over 100 rooms, I told him we'd ask if we thought we were stuck. He enjoyed watching us, especially because we tended to understand all the puzzles right away, and only nudged us to tell us that something opened (that we failed to notice).

The room was super fun, the puzzles were pretty high tech and flowed well in the game. There were some fun elements, definitely my favorite escape game room so far!!

Phenomenal room… BUT. OK, the room itself is amazing. Super seamless and fun puzzle flow. Amazing tech. Everything felt sleek and professional. Clever concept. Excellent storytelling. But here’s the big BUT. Eight people is too many people for this room. There were several puzzles that we couldn’t even see, let alone participate in, because we physically couldn’t get around each other in the tiny, tiny space of this room. Basically we would sit out certain puzzles and then wait for the action to come to our side of the room. We still had a super fun time, but the cramped nature of the space definitely had an impact on the experience. Then obviously the other hot topic is the fact that it’s a public room. Because this location is in an incredibly high trafficked retail area, you can count on your game filling up to the maximum capacity, as ours did. Personally, I’m not a fan of public rooms. This is a hot topic in the Escape Room community. I understand that companies need to make money, and I’m all for that, but it doesn’t change the fact that in my opinion it lowers the quality of the experience a little bit. That said, our group was great and we had a ton of fun. I just think we would’ve had MORE fun if it was just me and my partner. Regardless, Timeliner is a fantastic room And a great representation of what Escape Rooms can be.
Solid! Incredibly fun flow. Sadly, dramatically reduced fun with the number of people in the room. Mini puzzles we couldn’t participate in simply because we couldn’t physically navigate past people to see what was happening
Great! Everything felt fresh and professional
Unbelievably nice staff

Navigating between different time eras was amazing. The digital “windows” were fantastic.
Excellent. One of the better Escape Room narratives we’ve seen
Medium
The puzzles themselves we’re really not difficult at all. The challenge actually came from the size of our group. Eight people is way too many people for that space. We could barely navigate around each other and things became quite clunky an awkward

Amazing tech. Flawless

8 felt like too many people in the room. This is maybe one of the biggest downers of the experience . Several puzzles became more difficult simply because we didn’t have the space to navigate around each other. We could barely even close the door in one of the rooms. The room is also extremely linear so much of the time people were just standing around waiting for things to do. Would strongly recommend they reduce the total capacity in this one.

I have a hard time giving a “love” to rooms of corporate and franchise escape room businesses, but we had a blast in this room. We decided to go to the earliest game to lessen the chances of playing with strangers (another reason I’m reluctant to give the “love” rating). There was one ball puzzle that I didn’t care for, but the theme, set design, and puzzles were all fantastic. This particular game is only at a few TEG locations. If you get a chance to play it, do it.

Very tech heavy room with lots to do. Go late at night or early in the morning so you don’t have to deal with stranger danger.

Had a great time doing this room! Took us a long time to figure out the first clue but we just barely made it through it all! Be ready to stick you hands in random places, lol
