The Mob

PanIQ Room - Fulton Market

Escape room
IRL

Fun room for two players! The atmosphere is great, and puzzles are novel but simple. Anyone with a decent amount of experience will catch on to the classics, and one puzzle struck us as very unique! A few tricks in here repeat in other rooms at this location, so a few puzzles are slightly easier if you've played others first. Definitely a search-heavy room, but nothing felt mean or overly difficult. Our GM was absolutely fantastic! We look forward to coming back to do our last room here.

CU Adventures in Time and Space

I'm not usually a horror fan, but this room blew me out of the water. The atmosphere is the perfect amount of scary without being outright distracting. The amount of detail and upkeep is truly impressive. Puzzles are layered on puzzles! An incredible use of a fairly small space makes the game feel dense and constantly engaging. Key items and places are hidden in plain sight, or near earlier puzzles, so it feels extra rewarding to say "I saw that earlier!" Reliance on several paper notes is balanced out by very cool physical props and puzzles. One lengthy and info-dense recording was helpfully repeated at our pace, so no panic scribbling or tedious relistening was required. GM Jeanette was an absolute delight. She pointed us in the right direction throughout the game without taking over or holding our hands. Her lovely (spiritual) presence only added to the atmosphere, and she was so nice on our way out!

Incredible atmosphere! The very first puzzle is incredibly clever, and there are some really good ones throughout the game. One was finicky and didn't register as complete the first time it was solved. Otherwise, I think we're a few mazes too many— I counted 3 1/2 in this one game, including a puzzle almost identical to one of their other games. Overall, we had a great time.

Prison

Overall very fun! Set and theming are good. Most puzzles are well designed and fun to solve. There are a few too many dexterity-based puzzles for my taste, and due to the linear nature of the room, each of those puzzles meant most of the group stood around while one or two people solved it. Written notes and set pieces were immersive and well-written. Our GM was awesome!

Fun, creative, and simple! The atmosphere is stunning. Props are good quality and very fun to play with. The puzzles are more game-like than puzzle-y, which makes this an awesome room for beginners, kids, and anyone looking for a fun, whimsical, and low-pressure atmosphere. One game is a bit long, but there are plenty of workarounds that keep it fun and let the game keep moving. GM Rachel was very fun, very friendly, and had us hooked with the game intro!

They're Coming

Maze Rooms - Culver City

Absolutely awesome room!! For the easily frightened, some sequences and interactions are pretty scary, and we would have been done a little quicker if we weren't such chickens! Gameplay flowed very well, and we never felt like we had to guess or make logical leaps. The technology involved in creating the room's ambiance is impressive, and despite a few quick technical delays, we had a lot of fun. GM Harper was kind, helpful, and fun! She really sold the intro to the game, gave great hints, and helped us out with some finicky tech so it wouldn't eat into our time. We will definitely be visiting again next time we're in the area!

Whatever Happened To The Garretts?

Maze Rooms - West LA

This room is nothing short of absolutely phenomenal. From the moment you walk in, the set design is seamlessly immersive. Puzzles are very linear, which is perfect for a room with so many twists and turns. Most object interactions are incredibly intuitive, and help gameplay and story beats move along seamlessly. When big twists hit, they hit HARD. We found ourselves constantly on our toes, and we were never able to predict what was coming next. Every puzzle felt different, and every solution was satisfying. Our GM, Elena, was INCREDIBLE. They are friendly, helpful, and professional, and made sure we didn't miss out on a thing.

The Passage

I did this room soon after it opened, and it was PHENOMENAL. The set design is absolutely out of this world. I rave about the theming in this room to this day, and it's been a few years since I played. Our GM was phenomenal, and came in to help when a puzzle wasn't working quite like it should have. My mom has epilepsy, which would have been triggered by one of the incredible set pieces. Our GM was wonderful and easily accommodated her while making sure the rest of us got to experience the very cool set to its fullest. This is one of my all-time favorites!

This is one of the first rooms I did several years ago, and made Twisted Limits and instant favorite. The puzzles were incredibly engaging, with minor physical challenges I haven't seen anywhere else! We loved this room so much, we came back to play the rest within the span of a few months, and I don't regret it a bit.

I love puzzles that isolate a group member or single someone out for a challenge, and this room didn't disappoint! This room has just the right amount of creep factor, and puzzles that are beautifully incorporated into the immersive environment.

Prison break rooms are everywhere, and this one is one of the best I've played! I brought some family who were beginners, and it was easy enough for them to grasp, yet difficult enough for the experienced players in our group to feel challenged.

The set design here was out of this world, especially the water feature! These puzzles are unique, and scratched an itch I had been sitting on from a disappointing game at a different company.

Giggles' Fun House

Crisis Escape Rooms

Escape room
IRL

This was a very fun room! The set design here is fantastic, both inside and outside the rooms. The puzzles were fun and inventive, and relied on some clever problem solving and team communication! So many of the puzzles were unique, and I was very excited about them the entire time. The puzzle chain for this room was very linear, so the entire team had to work on one puzzle at a time together. A majority of the locks in the room are 4-number codes, so after each puzzle we ended up having to split up and try our code on each one individually, which is a little tedious. Some puzzles felt a little over engineered to end up in a 4-number codes, when they might have been more intuitive as a letter combination or similar. One puzzle does use AI generated images, which I was not a fan of. My group of 3 set the all-time leaderboard high score! The team there was very generous, and sent us off with an escape room board game as a prize, which was surprising and very touching. Our GM was absolutely fantastic, hopping in to help when a puzzle went a little awry! Overall, I would highly recommend Crisis and will absolutely be returning. This room seems very good for beginners, and is good fun for anyone!
