Insane Asylum
Paniq Escape Room - Long Beach
Escape room
IRL
Similar in theme to 60Out’s Doctor Psycho, Insane Asylum cranked up the crazy in more ways than one. Where Psycho relied on a bevy of puzzles and more scares, Asylum toned down the scares making room for more difficult puzzles. Lots of cool ideas and dexterity puzzles - where some games rely heavily on locks and keys and lockboxes, Asylum takes advantage of the space and makes really creative choices in terms of puzzles and set design. Starting in a padded cell really sets the tone and one puzzle toward the end had me sweating to get it done in time. With 2 people this game is HARD but that’s what we wanted.
The Vampire Slayers
Back In Time Escape Rooms - East Torrance
Escape room
IRL
It may be recency bias but Vampire Slayers is probably one of the top 10 escape rooms I’ve done so far. They had a choice between beginner or advanced difficulty and advanced was certainly worth it. For me and my friend who are escape room enthusiasts, we wanted a challenge and it delivered. Multiple puzzles had us second guessing ourselves and we thankfully only needed one nudge in the right direction. The depth of the puzzles made up for any fancy technical maneuvers you may find in other rooms - the room is very contained but so well crafted that the experience feels real and satisfying to solve throughout.
They're Coming
Maze Rooms - Culver City
Escape room
IRL
Inksidious
Escape Room 66 - Los Angeles
Escape room
IRL
Inksidious’ storyline is the weakest part of the game but that being said the whole game is still incredibly fun. Though it’s very lock based, the puzzles you solve to get the codes are creative and different. The style and aesthetic are well-integrated with the theming of the room and it makes use of the space inside the room, making it feel larger than expected. The second room is worth the price of admission.
Ghost Hunters
Maze Rooms - Robertson Blvd
Escape room
IRL
Probably the best room at this Maze Rooms location. It’s new, it’s fresh, it’s got a fun, recognizable feel and you do all the things you want to do in it. One puzzle was very cheap to my friend and I because they parameters weren’t laid out as specifically as we would’ve liked but with two people and a time just over half an hour, the room kept us moving and entertained continuously.
Whatever Happened To The Garretts?
Maze Rooms - West LA
Escape room
IRL
The set design for this one is beyond cool. The use of household appliances of yesteryear immediately immerses you in the 80’s as they intended. It felt like neither the puzzles nor setting took precedent over the other because they melded so well together. The last puzzle, as usual, gave me and my friend a run for our money but we pulled through in the end with no clues. Though the ending wasn’t a great “surprise” for me, it was satisfactory for the room as a whole.
Special Ops: Mysterious Market
The Escape Game - Los Angeles
Escape room
IRL
I’d done two other Escape Game rooms before this one and I was only wary because the two others were amazing. There’s gotta be a weak link, right? Perhaps there is but it’s not this one! Once in the room you’re in an Indian/Middle Eastern-inspired market which is a setting you don’t often see explored in escape rooms. From then on the plot thickens and the puzzles get more high tech. With an abundance of things to solve and pieces to find and work with, the entire experience is a joy to complete. Each set piece used feels great to understand and scratches the mystery part of your brain.
Houdini
60Out - Silver Lake
Escape room
IRL
Houdini is another room 60Out just nails. Every piece is so fun to solve and I don’t think there’s ever a dull moment. The room is high risk, high reward. By that I mean it’s like watching Brendan Urie from Panic! At the Disco live, knowing he has the ability to hit a high note: if he doesn’t hit it, it’s kind of a shame but still a fun show, but if he does it’s incredible. This room is one of 60Out’s high notes. It’s physical and fun and the plot is intriguing throughout.
Hotel On Road 66
60Out - HHLA
Escape room
IRL
Being one of the newest rooms from 60Out, they really took their time here and it shows. There are puzzles and technical assets that hadn’t been utilized by previous 60Out rooms that fit into this room’s vibe and setting. The pacing flowed well and it’s a lot of fun for a group of 4 or more. Scares we’re genuine and often which made the entirety of the room exciting.
Da Vinci's Secret
60Out - Hollywood
Escape room
IRL
I usually don’t play rooms with 6 people but today was an exception. Each of my friends brought a friend and we had a group of 6… that was both a blessing and a curse. The ideas being thrown around about each puzzle were helpful sometimes and cacophonous at others. It did not sour the entire experience though. The puzzles were all memorable and a lot of fun to decipher, save a logic puzzle towards the middle that we spent TOO much time on. There were puzzles that worked with memory, sound, words, etc. The design of the entire room was incredible and it’s definitely one of the best I’ve played thus far in my escape room career.
The Elevator Shaft
THE BASEMENT: A Live Escape Room Experience - Sylmar
Escape room
IRL
The Basement’s Elevator Shaft was incredibly immersive. There was smoke, water, moving parts, buttons, switches, the whole shebang. Though the room was small, the 45 minute timer keeps you on your toes and working the entire time. Some puzzles are right in front of you and some you need to work for. Let’s just say I should have looked everywhere and read everything before I started some puzzles. I was completing the last puzzle when me and my partner ran out of time and I don’t think I’ll let myself live it down for the next 3 weeks.
