It made me feel like a kid again. My group and I loved this game. Great for larger parties and for players of all ages.

Child friendly themes and puzzles. May want to bring along an adult to help out with some of the harder puzzles.

The Irvine Spectrum can be very busy during peak hours, making parking harder to find. Come early and know where the store is located before-hand.

Absolutely loved the fun that this game provided. Jump back into 4th grade with some fun school puzzles and even an amazing recess time! Traveled from Arizona to play this great room along with the rest that The Escape Game Irvine provided.

I was worried about the premise being too juvenile thematically, but Playground does a great job at embodying the theme of the room; it's just. super. FUN. This room is PACKED full of puzzles - great to do with a medium sized group. I would say the only critique is a couple of the puzzles are quite poorly designed and convoluted (they're not difficult, just very misleading), which you will most likely need to ask your GM for some guidance. Overall still a really fun time that I would recommend to others.
Gameplay
Really fun and tons to do. I really did feel like a kid again.
Atmosphere
Great set.
Customer service
Nice and accommodating staff.
Particularly interesting or different
Yes
I think this is the most playful room I've ever done. Although it's not particularly outstanding in any one category, it still sticks out as a very memorable experience for me and has a soft spot in my heart.
Story
Not much of a story but the theming is consistent.
Difficulty
Easy
Most puzzles are easy and intuitive, great for beginners but there are so many in the room that experienced escapists will have a ton to do as well.

Some mix of tech elements and lock-and-key.

I've beat this with 2 on my first try, but there's a ton of puzzles and would work well with larger groups as well. Probably best with 3-5.

Just follow the Spectrum map - it's a bit of a maze if you're not used to it but the room is super visible.
Parking
Limited
It's Irvine Spectrum - parking can be a bit chaotic during busy times and you usually need to drive around for a bit.

Playground was a super fun escape room, probably the best one or second best at The Escape Game.

Definitely top 3 escape rooms I’ve ever played! Such a fun idea; it really brings out your inner child. The puzzles were very straightforward but also very original. I’ve never seen another game like this one. I’d recommend it for first timers or experienced players looking to switch up their usual routine. SO MUCH FUN!!

We did this as a group of 2 and made it out with 3 mins to spare. Room is designed for up to 12. Fun theme with unique puzzles. Math is involved for some puzzles. The staff was very friendly and the puzzles were diverse and fun to complete. Highly recommend.

Fun puzzles and unique. I like that is was not super non-linear.

It was a nice bright room that was laid out for ease. The theme was 4th grade and it leaned into that theme.

Great game for beginners or younger kids. The final puzzle, while a good puzzle, was a little underwhelming as the FINAL puzzle.
