    Curiosity Escape Rooms [prev. Clever Fox Escape Rooms - Menifee]

    Good room even if you’ve never watched the show that inspired the room, though you will probably solve some things pretty quickly if you have seen the show and use your outside knowledge. Solid puzzles with medium difficulty, with a couple unique challenges I haven’t seen before despite doing 250+ rooms.

    Solid escape room with good puzzle flow and signposting, with challenging puzzles and a fun story. If you have an experienced group, you’ll probably escape in 30 minutes so take your time. Still enjoyable, just wish there were more puzzles to fill out the full hour.

    Cute, family-friendly escape room with easy puzzles that are great for younger kids. It’s whimsical and there’s a couple fun puzzles for experienced players but the room is very short, so take your time with it if you’re an enthusiast. Signposting is not great in this room though, which can cause some frustration.

    This review is to warn enthusiasts and experienced escape room players that this room is so easy that I can’t imagine it would take you more than 30 minutes to escape (we did in less than 20 while trying to go slowly on purpose), so only do it if you have a good discount or try any of the other rooms. It’s a solid room for newbies with great puzzle flow and fun moments so it is not at all a bad room, just not challenging enough for the money if you have experience and they have other great rooms at this location to enjoy instead.

    This room can get tedious and feels very rushed. I know it’s to make it replayable but it got frustrating at times and left us feeling unsatisfied. It’s lots of non-puzzle tasks to complete so it’s fun for a group that isn’t too into puzzling. I prefer more interesting puzzles but I can see that this kind of room has an audience who would love the structure.

    Tech is a little too finicky so plan to be very patient and frustrated, but the overall theme was fun. I didn’t feel like this room had many puzzles so expect more immersive atmosphere than actual puzzling. I’ve seen this theme executed much better elsewhere so I hope they add some actual puzzling in here.

    This is more of a fun interactive experience than escape room so don’t expect any real puzzles or challenges, just enjoy it for what it is. A unique theme and some fun moments.

    Would not do this without at least 4 people as the room is designed to have enough that work needs to be done in parallel. Some tech issues needs to be fixed or addressed with more instruction, but otherwise a great immersive room using good difficult puzzles with a variety of challenges.

    Medium difficulty, good for team of 2-3 enthusiasts or 4 for less experienced teams. Fun, spooky but not scary theme, some cool tech elements and some memorable puzzles. No jump scares in this room, though I might suggest better confirmation sounds/signaling since it was sometimes hard to know if we actually solved something.

    No more than 3 people for this one, easy difficulty. Puzzling was not difficult but very non-intuitive so we hit a lot of stumbling blocks and needed more hints than normal just to navigate through the room. Lots of color-based puzzles so lighting was a huge problem in this room and with a theme like this, there is no need for any darkness. I think they need to go back to the drawing board and try again. Every other room I’ve done with a fantasy/fairy tale theme is better than this one.
