Light-hearted, nostalgic, and playful, Playground is a favorite of both first-timers and enthusiasts. Your game will start in a classroom where you’ll have to finish all of your assignments before the end of the day, or you can forget about summer break. And these assignments are unlike anything you actually encountered in school. Playground was designed for up to 12 players and is an epic team building experience.

An absolute blast, so much fun, despite a few frustrating and broken puzzles. We did the room with 3 people and, despite us all being seasoned enthusiasts, that was probably one less than needed to really do the room well - because we failed! A few things were broken in the room (see below). There were 2 or 3 puzzles that gave us that "oh, come on!" type of response (I'm looking at you, "Art" Puzzle). A couple red herrings. A couple non-sensical connections that could be dramatically improved with some simple design tweaks. The intro video for this room is maybe the best we've ever seen. The story setup is AMAZING, although it seems like the plot got lost for the rest of the room. Flaws aside, this room was still an absolute blast. One of the more fun rooms I've done. Hilarious kid-like fun.
Gameplay
MOSTLY good. A few "oh, come on" puzzle moments. Got plain stuck at a couple points (as seasoned ER enthusiasts). A couple broken set pieces made the experience more challenging.
Atmosphere
Phenomenal. Mostly physical, very little tech.
Customer service
amazing staff
Particularly interesting or different
Yes
The theming is what takes the cake here. "Role-call" was hilarious.
Story
One of the best opening videos and story setups we've ever seen. Seems like the story got lost for the rest of the room though.
Difficulty
Expert
Extremely difficult, mostly because of the sheer quantity of puzzles. I'm sure this would be helped with a larger group.

We did it with 3 and for once I actually felt like we didn't have enough people to really do the room well. There is so much to do I'd suggest 4 minimum, with the sweet spot being 4-8.

Fun interactive escape for kids. Lots of puzzles. We had a large group and surprisingly wasn’t as crowded as I thought it would be.

Hands down my favorite room in the escape game! I want to do this room again so bad! I’ve officially done all of them in Rancho & Irvine and this is the best! Do it! It’s a bit hard with 2 people, more people would probably be a bit better. I was literally sweating doing this room
