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.
The AttractionPalace GamesEscape roomIRLVisual wise the room was great. The atmosphere was amazing and the story was well integrated and well done. Super techy and has one of the coolest “transitions” I’ve ever seen. The puzzles themselves were easy, and felt more repetitive than challenging. Gm was super nice and showed us a little behind the scenes after we escaped
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.
The Mad RapperScenario Escape RoomEscape roomIRLReally good atmosphere. Puzzles were all unique and minimal locks and keys. Puzzles were relatively easy and didn’t take much thinking. Gm treated us well. The story of joining a rap gang is unique, but it has little impact on the puzzles and I didn’t really feel the story during the game. Very fun and colorful space with great music.
The LadderHatch EscapesEscape roomIRLI want to give this a like or a heart but I can’t because of its bad gameplay and so much was broken. The gameplay is split up in 5 rooms, which have a strict 15 minute time limit) and each room has “games” and a “puzzle” the games are job-like mindless tasks that are endless. Most of the games are fun to do once or twice, but over 15 minutes they got repetitive. The puzzles are better and more Escaperoom like, but still two of the four were broken and limited our ability to solve it. The room is made to force people to replay it. (And with the high price tag and large group requirement, not everyone can) The atmosphere is great and the set is wonderful. We were treated well. If you come into this game expecting to complete it, you won’t.
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.
The Mush RoomEscape Room 66 - Los AngelesEscape roomIRLGame was very fun and rememberable. Puzzles were mainly lock and key but the story worked with it and the set was great. Story was very good and the players were allowed to make a choice so it felt like we were actually making an impact on the story. GM was fantastic and welcoming. The only downside was that it was on the easier side and lots of lock and keys but overall it’s a great room.
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.
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.
Sal's CyberneticsThe Immersive MachineEscape roomIRLRoom is very fun and unique. The room is very non linear (at one point there was 4ish puzzles we could do at once) and the puzzles aren’t too hard themselves so my group did it very quickly. The GM was amazing. He interacted with our group so well and after we escaped he even allowed us to have a little peak of what he sees and can do on his end during our escape. Set/ atmosphere was great and nothing was broken.
