The Asylum13th Gate EscapeEscape roomIRLOur group liked this game but it really wasn't the quality I've grown to expect from 13th Gate. The puzzles were a little disjointed and sometimes felt like they were just tossed in to fill time. This is definitely a room for more than 4 people and I would say groups of 6-8 are more suited to the room. It is really a big space which is well utilized and the theme carries throughout but we had trouble with one of the puzzles (don't want to spoil it for others) and we spent a lot of time trying to figure it out. The colors were really subtle and the lighting was very low. Also I put my hand into a hole in the wall to pull something out and something fell on my hand and it hurt. Kind of an unpleasant surprise for me.
Krazy Eddie's FuneralNightwalker Caverns Escape Room AdventuresEscape roomIRLFun room but lots of puzzles. We barely got out. It is kind of a novel storyline like all of their rooms. It has puzzles we'd never seen before at any other escape room. We will definitely be going back for other games.
Last Chance - CLOSEDNightwalker Caverns Escape Room AdventuresEscape roomIRLIncredible experience. I'm spoiled after going to their rooms. The level of complexity is off the charts. All the puzzles are woven cleverly into the story and it all fits together without a hitch the owner makes sure nothing is ever broken and the set design will literally knock your socks off. If you're wanting to try something really unique then this is the place. We will be getting some friends together for memorial day weekend to play their new trivia game and use the party room. Can't wait to go back.
Gooneze - CLOSEDNightwalker Caverns Escape Room AdventuresEscape roomIRLPerfection in a true adventure game like no other we've done. This place goes above and beyond the standard escape room business. The puzzles fit the story llne and it flows through the whole thing. Loved this game and the actor was stellar.
Clownatorium-2 Upside Down - CLOSEDNightwalker Caverns Escape Room AdventuresEscape roomIRLThis room is very different than most rooms we've done. The puzzles fit the story perfectly. The actor in the room helped when we asked and. told us a few funny jokes. Then they took us over and showed us their newest room Quiz Boxing. It's a really cool trivia game. We're coming back next weekend.
Lost Tomb of CleopatraGreat Room Escape - San DiegoEscape roomIRLFun game for the tech people but if you're just looking for a game that's lock/key or combo locks you're going to be disappointed. Not overly challenging but eye pleasing design.
The Weeping WitchCross Roads Escape GamesEscape roomIRLTwo things you can be sure of in this room you're going to scream at least once and you'll be in total darkness multiple times. Turning off the lights once was okay but after that it lost its punch and scare factor. Just seemed annoying and distracting. The actor did a good job and I enjoyed the combination of theater and escape room. Overall good experience.
Hunting Dracula [Formerly "V"] - CLOSEDLocked AdventuresEscape roomIRLReally great time. Room was well thought out but you might need all the time like we did. GM was awesome
Quest For The Throne - CLOSEDLocked AdventuresEscape roomIRLCompleted with less than a couple of minutes left. It was challenging but we managed to get to the crown.
Medieval MayhemJourney Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLTraditional lock and key puzzle style. Challenging but not novel. Great GM.
The HideEscape Room Era - AnaheimEscape roomIRLReally fun except it's dark. Puzzles would have been better if we didn't have to struggle with them because of the lack of light.
Salem 1692 - Spellweaver - CLOSEDNightwalker Caverns Escape Room AdventuresEscape roomIRLHalloween weekend wouldn't have been complete without a witch story and what could be better than going back in time and put on trial for witchcraft. The actor in the room made sure we had to play our part which was really fun. We've never done a room like this before and it was over the top both in set and game play.
Heart Of Bastet [prev. Red Giant]Lara’s Labyrinth - San Diego [prev. Quest Room]Escape roomIRLThis escape business doesn't have much parking and it's located in a really shady area. We had to park a ways away and walk. Careful if your booking is for after dark. The price is more than most San Diego escapes. Its got a commercial cheap feel to it and is linear so 2 players are about it when it comes to playing. One of the puzzles didn't work and the game is pretty standard. Nothing spectacular to write about.
Budapest ExpressEscapology - San DiegoEscape roomIRLNo parking to be found so leave lots of extra time. Room was nicely done for a small space but it seemed the game was made overly complicated. Not a big fan.
Black and White CafeMindFox EscapeEscape roomIRLReally small and math and combo locks style room. Not unique or memorable.
Enchanted [prev. Warlocked]Redondo Beach [prev. Quest Room]Escape roomIRLThere were lots of jump scares but the storyline was kind of weak it had great aesthetics but the puzzles were being mostly done by the GM. We didn't know it was going to be a short room considering it is so pricey compared to other escape rooms in SoCal.l
The Vault - CLOSEDPlanet Escape RoomEscape roomIRLThis staff at this place are really friendly and the room a little challenging but it was dated. The vault was a really cool effect and made the whole design believable. We'll be back.
Da Vinci's Secret60Out - HollywoodEscape roomIRLFun room with good elements but not as enjoyable another one we played here. Will return soon
The BasementTHE BASEMENT: A Live Escape Room Experience - SylmarEscape roomIRLReally disappointed in this place. The appearance was okay but it was obvious that nothing has been updated in ages and shows a lack of attention and it smelled bad. Don't understand such high ratings.
A Strange ThingCinema Escape Rooms - Los AlamitosEscape roomIRLThis place was really expensive for me total lack of production quality. Maybe it was supposed to be that way since it was trying to copy a show but it didn't come off that way at all. It just came off as cheap and no originality. To me they did a good job of copying other escape room business puzzles but didn't put a lot of effort into creating a game worth the price. We visited because of the reviews but shouldn't have.
