Election DayAppleseed AvenueEscape roomOther Unforgettable, unique, hilarious, engrossing, I can’t say enough about Election Night! I’m at about 40+ rooms and this is instantly tied with my other favorite room of all time (The Last Supper in Pomona). My first thought when I left was that I could have played the main gameplay mechanic of this room for 4 hours and never gotten bored. Yes, you will be split into two groups and have pretty separate experience from the other group(I was in the Medical Exam group), with a few moments shared between the two rooms. There are certainly puzzles to do throughout, just like normal escape rooms, but the main draw is the investigation game that is unlike any room I have done before, as well as a tremendously fun story that builds to a great climax/satisfying conclusion. I don’t think I have laughed out loud half as much in another room, the jokes were earnestly laugh out loud, the set was stunning, the tech was really impressive and never once did it feel like a piece of tech could fail. There is too much to rave about to put into one review, do yourself a favor and do this room before it inevitably lands itself on Terpeca next year.
The Last SupperQuest TavernEscape roomIRLI’ve done somewhere between 30-40 rooms, this was instantly my favorite of all time. The setting, rp, story, immerseveness…I can’t think of any room I’ve done that compares. Diego was fantastic as Lord Garrick and played off of us really well. The vibes were spooky and we absolutely loved the every step of the journey, especially the final moments. Truly was a piece of interactive theatre in addition to a room, our team admittedly is all performers in some way, so it really lent itself to our interests and vibe as a group. The vibe was spooky but as a crew we had countless laugh out loud moments. I really enjoyed the puzzles as well and the special effects were tremendous. Cant recommend or praise it enough; it really has so much I’ve never seen in a room before and won’t stop thinking about it for quite a bit.
The Bridge BetweenQuest TavernEscape roomIRLIncredible room, great puzzles, so many fun surprises. Diego was a fantastic gm!!
The Mad RapperScenario Escape RoomEscape roomIRLThis was such a fun room! I had a great time with a big variety of puzzles, I loved the dexterity challenges, the theming was so fun/upbeat, and our GM Tatiana was so welcoming and accommodating. Hope to visit their other room soon!
WarlockedQuest Room - Redondo BeachEscape roomIRLLoved this experience, maybe the most I’ve felt wrapped up in adventure in any room. I had a big cheesy smile on my face for most of it and our GM, AJ was tremendous
Red GiantQuest Room - HollywoodEscape roomIRLHurts me to say because we LOVED Perfumer so much, this room didn’t do it for us. The immersion was great, I loved the set and it felt very adventurous, but the puzzles themselves were frustrating, not in a challenging way, but we ran into a lot of tech issues/having to repeat things we did because it didn’t work/lack of clarity to what you needed to do. There is a specific puzzle in it that felt like it was meant to drive your time up. I will say that the beginning and ending have some really cool stuff, it mostly could have used more fun in the middle. If you’re deciding here between this room and Perfumer, I’d highly recommend Perfumer!
Houdini60Out - Silver LakeEscape roomIRLVery fun atmosphere and some really cool moments! We had a great time and our gm Noel was super welcoming and accommodating! The beginning was unlike any room I’ve been in yet
Case '9360Out - Silver LakeEscape roomIRLThis was such a fun room! Had a few laugh out loud moments, loved the atmosphere, one of my favorite stories in a room as well. Our GM Megan was awesome. Highly recommend!
