“This game was so much fun. Would definitely have made it in my top five if it was just a bit longer with a little more team activities. Everything worked perfectly. The concept is hilarious, fun, and makes perfect sense when you interact with your smart devices and they don’t listen. Love this concept and the game was built very well. The final room seemed a bit rushed to me and could use an overhaul to make it just as aesthetically pleasing as the rest of the room but if that’s all I have to complain about then I’ll definitely check out the other wild goose games. This game has so much potential to dominate this market. There are a few ideas that would make this game perfect. It’s not far off.”

“The room was beautifully decorated. Ambiance and theme was amazing. Game host was great and loved that he took the time to explain the room and show us other endings! Sometimes hard to hear the in room “guide” but never caused an issued for us. Loved the use of fog and tech in the room.”

“After doing the original Zoe room in the previous location, I had a better idea of what I signed up for, but the immersion quality is so high, your fear just sky rockets. This new version has a lot of puzzles and it’s much bigger! I think my heart is still racing as I type this. If you love scary, if you love fear; this is absolutely a room you have to experience. Extreme Mode does have a stun pen and they use it, but there are ways to avoid it if you follow the rules.. a lesson I’ve sadly failed both times. The staff here is some of my favorites, top notch! As sick and twisted as you gotta be, they are super sweet and willing to answer any questions. Our game master was Christina and she really plays the role and was very aware of our progress, love her! P.S. one of the main owners and our host Jorin is a bit of a hottie. He’s super friendly and so passionate for this escape experience. They all are!”

“If you are looking for a thrilling room with a few scares, this is a must do room! Our entire group loved it (myself, my son age 17 and 3 of his friends). Just the right amount of scare and thrill with good puzzles mixed throughout.”

“This was such a good room. We loved the puzzles, they were a good amount of challenging for our experienced group of 3. The story is not terribly important, but the theme is consistent and well-integrated with the puzzles. I strongly recommend this room.”

“Not for the faint of heart. If you're superstitious or leery of the occult, you might want to steer clear. Even if you're not, still wear your brown pants. We did experience a technical malfunction which was unfortunate, but overall, the experience was great.”

“This room was really well done. The puzzles were difficult, but it was a good difficult! We had an awesome GM named Molly! Super sweet and very enthusiastic about escape rooms! From the beginning, the room was challenging, but not frustrating. As we worked our way through the room, it was clear that the room was thought out and well executed. Some of the puzzles made us think in ways we hadn't before, but that's a good thing. I really enjoyed this room and if you are in the Anaheim area, definitely take a trip over!”

“I don’t know if we were on our A game or what. We played with 2 players that we have never played with before. They were here on vacation from Switzerland and had just spent 12 hours at Disneyland. We set the new fastest time for this room ever. We finished so fast the owner let us play another game on the house. 🙏🏽”

How Do Escape Rooms Work?
Remember those point-and-click adventure games where you’re locked in a room and have to solve puzzles to find the key and escape? Those online games were the original inspiration for the live escape rooms you’ll find all across the world today. An escape room is an immersive experience where you (and your team of 2 or more people) are locked in a room with a series of puzzles for 60 minutes. To escape and win the game, you have to look for clues, solve the puzzles, and find the key. While most escape rooms only give you 60 minutes to complete the challenge, others may have shorter or longer time limits. Many venues are private rooms where you and your team are the only players. However, some places may pair you with other groups who booked a slot at the same time. And don’t worry about getting stuck, asking for hints on a difficult puzzle is totally normal. While the original escape room (created by SCRAP in 2007) had a fairly simple aesthetic, today’s escape games often take you into a different world. Artistic set designs, secret doors, and unique interactive elements are all part of the fun. It’s like an adventure game that you can interact with in real life. But if you’re hoping to preview any rooms before you book a game somewhere, detailed images and videos can be hard to find. To keep the puzzles a secret and preserve the experience of seeing the room for the first time, most venues only offer a few photos or a short trailer about the room’s theme or narrative. The only way to know what it’s like is to go and try it for yourself!
