Cryptic Point - CLOSEDExit 446Escape roomIRLThis room had a pretty unique theme compared to most rooms in the Bay Area which is super exciting for an enthusiast. Puzzles were fun however we could have had a bit more for the time allotted. Room was fun and in a new location which is great!
Three Pinnacles - CLOSEDExit 446Escape roomIRLThis room was still in beta when we played but it has potential. Owner was super nice and seemed to come from an enthusiast mindset. I would recommend waiting until the room is fully completed before playing.
RobotopiaOmescape - SunnyvaleEscape roomIRLWow wow WOW! This room had me trippin! This room had me so immersed that I didn’t want to leave once we were done. Amazing set designs, tons of puzzles and a lot of opportunities to really put teamwork to the test. Also we played with a group of 6 enthusiasts which is a larger group for me and we still were kept busy for nearly the entire 2 hours! Such fun and one of those rooms where I wish escape rooms were replayable so I could come back a hundred times. Also should our to our game master pro, Truth and game creator Sarah for the amazing hospitality as always! Thanks for taking care of us nerds! ❤️🤓
Mystical ManorOscar’s PlaygroundEscape roomIRLSuper fun room! Lots of cool effects and just fun overall! I would recommend going at less popular times. We went during Presidents’ Day weekend and because of the lack of ceilings the noise level was SUPER distracting. I would say this is my favorite room of the four we played this weekend even with the noise issues.
RabaBankEscaperoom 831 - LighthouseEscape roomIRLThis room was another solid hit by 831! Some cool tech and fun story telling in this space as well
SubmergencyEscaperoom 831 - Wave StreetEscape roomIRLSolid room but we felt a bit lost at times. Could have used a little better direction or maybe we were just off that day lol. Set design was great and puzzles were a lot of fun once we got our groove going
Alice's DreamEscaperoom 831 - LighthouseEscape roomIRLSuper cute and fun room! I felt like there was just the right amount of puzzles and I even learned something new about a certain puzzle in this room!
Cold War BunkerWild Goose Escapes - FullertonEscape roomIRLSolid room. The puzzles were more challenging that another room at the location which was great!
S.A.S.H.A: Home Of The FutureWild Goose Escapes - FullertonEscape roomIRLSuper fun room! Everything was very clean and shiny which is kinda rare in escape rooms. High tech and everything worked well! The only reason I did not give this a ❤️ is because it was a bit too easy for enthusiasts. Still super cool experience though !
The HideEscape Room Era - AnaheimEscape roomIRLWe have been waiting to play this room for quite some time. I’m a big horror fan so immersing myself in a real life horror film was amazing! This game was super fun and would highly recommend it to anyone that enjoys a good scare. Lastly, no spoiler but this room has one of the best “take homes” i have ever seen!
House in the Woods - CLOSEDPacifica Games LLC - Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLThis room is in desperate need of some TLC. We were stuck on a puzzle for so long due to faded colors and then the GM could not even decipher what colors they were supposed to be. Not a great experience unfortunately. This room is Gen 1 in the loudest way. Not a terrible experience but definitely not great. I agree with a previous reviewer. It scratched the itch but that’s about it.
Spy GameEscape OaklandEscape roomIRLGen 2 room. Nothing jaw dropping but we had fun and made #1 spot on the leaderboard without even trying!
The AlchemistEscape OaklandEscape roomIRLWhen we first walked in we thought we had already played the room. I believe there were some major props and the overall look is the same as the last room in its space but hang tight because it’s all new puzzles and game. Fun and especially liked some pretty tech that comes later in the game
The Sound Of MurderBeat the LockEscape roomIRLThis game is pretty new. I believe it’s less than 6 months old and it is a gen 1 room with low quality props. The game has a ton of locks and absolutely no direction in between each puzzle. Ie: you solve a puzzle and then you need to try that combination on 5 different locks because none of the locked items match anything you were just doing. Also lots of the puzzles were missing an element of order.
Ghost PatrolTrivium GamesEscape roomIRLI enjoyed this room but feel it is a bit overhyped. It got my expectations through the roof and then when it only delivered an awesome experience I was a little disappointed. Now this is to say we did play with probably about 2-4 more players than we needed which I’m sure had something to do with it. Otherwise the room was beautiful and well done. I thought the theme was a bit weird cause I went in expecting something different but it was still very immersive and clean!
Time Machine - CLOSEDNot Another Escape RoomEscape roomIRLThis room is in our Top 5! Seriously mindblown with this room and have never had an experience like it! I want to go back and get a behind the scenes tour of how this room works! Puzzles were amazing and high on the tech. It was super immersive and you also go through several fully immersive themes and the puzzles match the theme which was unique and done perfectly! 100% would recommend
The Last SupperQuest TavernEscape roomIRLOmg this room was soooo fun! Easily in our top 5 experiences. There was an element of this room that we knew of going into it which we haven’t enjoyed in the past so we were not at all looking forward to it, but wow what a surprise! We loved it! I think a few more puzzles would have been most people’s cup of tea but the flow of the room was perfect in my opinion. I would and have absolutely recommended this to other players!
Irvine School Of Wizardry And The Dragon WandHidden DonkeyEscape roomIRLThis room was fantastic! We added this to our trip last minute as the last room of the night and we weren’t even ready! Theming is amazing and we absolutely loved the puzzles and gameplay. We did not feel lost once yet the puzzles were still challenging.
The Mad RapperScenario Escape RoomEscape roomIRLThe mad rapper was one of the first rooms I did that really stuck out with a new fresh theme. Most rooms are set to a heist, prison break or Sherlock Holmes but this one has a whole new perspective and I loved that. The room was challenging and I loved the group dynamic. We had a larger group than needed but it still worked out well as we could break up into smaller groups to work on puzzles. So much fun!
Escobar: Part 1 (The Betrayal)The Escape RevolutionEscape roomIRLThis room was amazing. It broke the boundaries of almost all of the escape rooms I have played which offered a new and unique experience. The theming was on point and the activities were mixed perfectly with puzzles in the room. Would 100% recommend!
