Altamira (The Cave)101 Escapes - Westlake VillageEscape roomIRLOnly one room. Many elements of the room were worn down. Some of the writing was almost unreadable. One of the people in my group literally pulled open a lock using minimal force. It’s a dark room and my group of 6 were only supplied with a lantern, and it was almost dead. Almost all props are worn down. One of the puzzles require you to look at a group of drawing but most of them are very faint and require you to put the lantern basically on top of it.
Cursed CryptEscape Hotel HollywoodEscape roomIRLThe room is large, but very easy. Puzzles are good and worked, but all of it was very straightforward. As soon as you got the information, the puzzle was easily solved. My group of 6 got out very easily. Staff and the atmosphere was great, from the moment you walk into the building.
EndangeredEscape Games at the RiverEscape roomIRLLots of puzzles. Very, very non linear. Each puzzle is its standalone thing in the room. Room seems chaotic but soon it becomes “organized.” I recommend a large group of people (my team of 5 had almost everyone do something all the time). Room itself’s puzzles were easy and nothing was really that hard (there were just lots of puzzles.) atmosphere was good but some of the puzzles (and mainly their electronics) could be polished.
Escape LAHypnotic Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLVery well made and designed room. Set/ atmosphere was fantastic and flowed really well. Gm was amazing and very nice. It was on the easier side. Overall a very good room with great puzzles and atmosphere for newer players.
EVIL RobotsThe Nemesis ClubEscape roomIRLA very high tech game. Almost all the puzzles were very high tech. The puzzles flowed well and the set/ atmosphere was great. There was a little bit of searching but it wasn’t too bad. It wasn’t too hard, and all the puzzles were relatively straightforward.
Ghost PatrolTrivium GamesEscape roomIRLPuzzles were phenomenal. The room was very puzzle focused and it worked. As a team of 5 we always enjoy a non-linear room (which this was). The story / atmosphere was great as well, and the set was really well made. Very techy and fun.
Grandma's Masterplan60Out - MelroseEscape roomIRLRoom was good, and very long. The story was rememberable, and there was a great plot twist. The set was ok, nothing great. Most of the puzzles were good, some were confusing to use and some puzzles are stereotypical escape room puzzles. THIS ROOM IS LINEAR, and my group of five had a lot of wasted time where most of the group was waiting.
Hope EndThe Ministry Of PeculiaritiesEscape roomIRLThis room is great. The puzzles aren’t too hard but all of them work and aren’t broken. This was my groups first rooms with live actors, and it definitely enhanced our experience. The story and atmosphere was great, and it is so rememberable. Staff was very nice and welcoming
Ink & AshesExodus Escape RoomEscape roomIRLRoom was great. No puzzle was amazing but everything was done well and right. The story was phenomenal and every puzzle and effect showed the story’s progression and worked with the story. GM was great. The many puzzles were difficult but very solvable and nothing was broken.
Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle60Out - MelroseEscape roomIRLWhat a game. All of the puzzles were high tech. The puzzles were interesting and high tech. No locks at all. All the puzzles were fun and creative. The GM had to help my group when we got stuck, but it wasn’t a hint (stuff like “you have to rotate that” when it wasn’t obvious that we had to). One puzzle was a little broken but it didn’t make too much of an impact. The atmosphere was great
