EdelineCloud EscapeEscape roomIRLMy family and I loved this room. The story was well done and the puzzles were unique and satisfying. This room had a nice combo of story elements and puzzle solving pace. The flow of the game was smooth as well.
HeadcaseBreaking Point Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLThis room is easily one of my family’s top picks for favorite experience. I went with my husband and twin 14 year old daughters and we all had our strengths summoned with the variety of this room. We completed it under a hour which was surprising to us as it is a 75 minute room. However, we all felt satisfied because the puzzles ensured that we were engaged and got the most out of the experience. I would say this room is medium to challenging difficulty, but the puzzles all make sense with no stretches that I can remember, so it provides a challenge without the frustration allowing participants to spend time immersing themselves in the setting and story as well.
Cyberpunk SamuraiMaze Rooms - LAXEscape roomIRLWe had a fun time with this room. This Maze room location has one of the best thematic lobbies that we have encountered and the room itself did not disappoint. This is one of of favorite rooms that we have done by this company as we have found that they can be hit or miss with their rooms.
Clark's Crazy Christmas - CLOSEDExodus Escape RoomEscape roomIRLWe loved this room! The puzzles were very fun and varied. We love the movie Christmas Vacation so that added to our appreciation of the room as well. My group of four were so happy that we were shy of making the leaderboard by a few seconds without needing any hints. This made it feel like a win for us.
The Secrets Of Shadow PointWild Goose Escapes - Huntington BeachEscape roomIRLWe have been on a roll lately with rooms that have exceeded our expectations. This room did not disappoint. We loved the puzzles and flow of the room and were so thoroughly entertained as it required full participation for all of us. When one does enough escape rooms with the same people, it becomes apparent who is best at certain types of puzzles. We loved this one because we were all put to task in our area of specialty which speaks for the variety of the puzzles in the room. It was also a pretty big space with a few different rooms so it truly felt immersive as we rushed between rooms connecting the dots. The use of space conjured the ambiance of an abandoned asylum and all of the history that come with it.
Christmas Mischief - CLOSEDExodus Escape Room - Rancho CucamongaEscape roomIRLThis room was so cute and fun. We got off to a slow start blaming the fact that we had not done a room for a few weeks, but once we found our pace again, we all worked hard to make up the vital minutes and find all of the elves. I have found that I truly love Christmas themed room and this one added to my appreciation for the theme.
The Curse Of The Black KnightEscapeX Rooms - IrvineEscape roomIRLA nicely themed room. We enjoyed it but zipped through rather quickly and wished it were a bit longer.
The Tipsy TailorIntrepid Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLWe loved playing The Tipsy Tailor, the theme alone is worthwhile, but the design of the game really embraces set theme and story. We loved the details and playful elements of the room and the various types of puzzles. This definitely ranks high on our list of favored escape. Do not hesitate to visit Escapement Rooms. It’s a must do for enthusiasts.
Treasure IslandBrain Games Escape RoomEscape roomIRLWow! This room is one of the best. It is truly a cut above the rest in many ways. All of the positive reviews are duly earned. It is one of the funnest rooms we have played and one of the most aesthetically sets we have encountered. So much to do in this adventure and many of the puzzles were super unique and brilliantly executed. The only issue I had was my FOMO as others in my group got to engage with things during the time I was busy with another puzzle. Seriously, all puzzles were so much fun that one would want to be fully engaged with every one which is sometimes hard to do with puzzle heavy rooms. This room is a MUST DO for all who consider themselves enthusiasts. Highly recommend as one of the best. There are a lot of Easter Eggs from movies and pop culture references throughout giving yet another layer of fun.
The Fun HouseCross Roads Escape GamesEscape roomIRLSuch a fun and playful room. The setting is wonderful and I enjoyed this room more than I anticipated. It is definitely worthwhile as there were fun puzzles and effects as well as some challenging ones. The hint system is super unique and funny. Kudos to Niko whose humor and enthusiasm made this room a memorable experience.
The DepthsThe Escape Game - IrvineEscape roomIRLThe Depths was a super fun escape room with a fun assortment of puzzles. It’s on par with what one comes to expect from a solid company like The Escape Game. We have done almost all of their games and have yet to be undewhelmed. You really can’t go wrong with any of the rooms here. Our experience was greatly enhanced by our excellent game master, Joe who made our 50th escape room milestone extra special with a couple of surprises. We truly appreciated the kind and generous gesture given by The Escape Game staff.
40 ThievesMindTrap Escape Room - TemeculaEscape roomIRLOne of of top rated rooms. We loved everything about this room, particularly the set.
The Shack - CLOSEDExperience Machine - Upland [prev. Mind Suite]Escape roomPop upMy family and I experienced two rooms in one evening, The Shack and The Amazing Argo. Both were solid, engaging and fun albeit different escape adventures. I’ll begin by stating that we have been to many escape rooms and it is always a pleasure to encounter owners and GMs that are enthusiastic about their work. The Experience Machine provided both with owner, Andres, performer Raphael, and GM Hannah. All of them contributed to an exceptional time for my family and I. Top recommendation forThe Shack. This experience it truly unique because it provides the perfect blend of escape room components and immersive theater. It truly provides the ambiance, storyline and performance (a live actor assumes the role as an investigator) that immerses participants into the role of assistant investigators. So as not to give too much away, I will say that it was a creepy, engaging and intriguing room. Raphael, the live actor, playing Gabriel carries this experience as it is up to him to guide us to clues and information while maintaining solid immersion in the story. This is no easy task, but Raphael was excellent and his performance was top notch and on par with what one would expect from a regarded theatrical production. So to bring this element to an escape scenario with puzzles, clues etc elevates the experience to a new level of immersion giving guests the gift of deciding to keep it closer to a puzzle escape room or delving deeper bringing their own creativity to the experience. This is what makes The Shack stand out as one of our favorite escape rooms to date. My teenage daughters had such enthusiasm for this room leaving me with the thought that the creators are on to something special here and in hopes that there will be more to come.I would say that The Shack should be a priority for those who are up for a bit of a change.
The Bridge BetweenQuest TavernEscape roomIRLWill not disappoint. All of the positive reviews are warranted. I highly recommend all of the rooms at Quest Tavern.
Inksidious - CLOSEDEscape Room 66 - Los AngelesEscape roomIRLMy family and I had a blast escaping the new Inksidious experience. My daughters loved the theme and originality of the room and appreciated the style of it all. It was challenging in the best way keeping us fully immersed and working together to solve the puzzles. Our Game Master, Tuesday, is ranked as one of our favorites from the 40 plus rooms we have played. She was kind, helpful and her love of what she does come through with her hospitality. This room has one particular puzzle that remains a favorite of both my daughter and myself it had a unique quality of being relaxing while providing a challenge for a clue. We will be on the look out for upcoming rooms from Escape Room 66 in both locations.
