Storyteller's SecretBoxarooEscape roomIRLThere's a reason why this one is so popular! After doing 80+ rooms, we've never seen this theme before. So whimsical, adventurous, and sentimental. Very clever and immersive theming all around with unique puzzles. Pretty linear, but it's a wonderful journey!
The Sins of Doctor FaustusCaptivating WorldsEscape roomIRLCan't say enough great things about Captivating Worlds! This story was incredible, the props and technology were next-level.

Murder MansionCountdown GamesEscape roomIRLThis one truly lived up to the hype! Right when you step in, you are immersed in the story. There was a good variation of puzzles, some physical, some scavenger hunt, and some more cerebral. The logic ones were a lot of fun, and this room definitely had a wow factor in terms of setting and scenery! This was more linear than many other rooms we've tried, but the flow worked so well that it didn't cause any complaints. A couple puzzles would have been a lot easier with more than 2 people, but we still made it out. Countdown is such an impressive location--- we did two rooms during this stay and definitely plan to be back!

Witch's HollowStained Hourglass Escapes LLC.Escape roomIRLOne of the most distinctive and memorable rooms that we have done in our 80+ rooms! The theme is on-point for being in Salem, it's fun and clever, and there are many unique story-telling angles that we had never experienced before.

Wild Heart RanchWild Heart RanchEscape roomIRLSuch an unforgettable experience! This isn't a typical escape room, but rather a highly immersive story told through a sequences of mysteries and puzzles. This was unlike any other experience we've had before! The story-telling and the setting enhanced the experience so much, and a lot of the charm was in how immersive and well-themed the whole property was. Be prepared that this is definitely in the dessert, and much of the adventure takes place outdoors. It's easier during the day, but the nighttime stars made it way more fun at night! This made it way more memorable for us, but definitely bring lots of water and the proper footgear! Like everyone else shared, this is such a unique and unrivalled experience. We were glad we had booked 2 nights and wished we'd had more time to enjoy more of what the property had to offer, as well as the nearby Joshua Tree National Park! You can tell that Blake and Bea have a knack for story-telling and creativity in general! Thanks for everything!!
