Agent 1313th Gate EscapeEscape roomIRLThis was my 350th game, didn’t know it at the time, but I’m completely ok with it! This wasn’t the favorite of mine at this location, but it was still a blast! The four of us were extremely busy the entire time and loved splitting up multiple times throughout the game. One of the best agent/sci-fi game I’ve played.
A Pirate's CurseEscapology - CarlsbadEscape roomIRLOne of the better games I’ve played from Escapeology. Up there with the Scooby Doo adventure. Ambiance was on point and the flow was great and all puzzles made sense. Just like their “Lost City” at this location, it’s very easy for experienced players so I’d play them both to get the equivalent experience of a traditional 1hr experience.

Death Row13th Gate EscapeEscape roomIRLHindsight the game itself was wonderful and we think we would have truly enjoyed it, just like the rest of the games we have played here. We unfortunately had an overbearing GM that wanted to play the game through us/for us.
Dr. Hader’s Cartoon WorldScenario Escape RoomEscape roomIRLHoly moly! From the set design, story, flow, and clever puzzles, Dr Hader was such a breath of fresh air! I know Mad Rapper is up there in a lot of others top experiences, but this game was far superior in my opinion. And I enjoyed The Mad Rapper so to me, speaks volume on the quality of Dr. Hader! Great job E and team! Hopefully we see more from Scenario Escape Room!
Far-FetchedOpen Door Escape Games - RedlandsEscape roomIRLI was wagging my tail from beginning to end in this escape room! The theming was pawsitively incredible! The puzzles were clever and fun, but not too ruff for a pack like us. The game flowed smoother than a belly rub on a Sunday afternoon! For a fun, easy adventure that feels just like fetch on a sunny day, this escape room is a true treat! 10/10 would bark about it to all my friends. 🐕🐶
Lost CityEscapology - CarlsbadEscape roomIRLFun and well designed room. Like I mentioned on my review for The Pirate roll, this too was a quite easy adventure for avid escapists. I recommending doing these two back to back to get that typical full 1hr experience.
Once Upon a TimeRed Door Escape Room - TemeculaEscape roomIRLBest game at this location by far. Smooth flow, nice decor. There were a few glitches, reveals were somewhat underwhelming. It gets a little tiresome knowing you’ve successfully triggered something but have to search all the compartments to see what unlocked.
Pinocchio's Curious AdventureOver The Moon Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLI cannot tell a lie! As we were on the hunt for our next great quest, we walked into Pinocchio’s Curious Adventure expecting a fun story… and walked out feeling like we’d just battled through one of Stromboli’s finest schemes. This room is easily one of Over the Moon’s strongest builds. It was packed with layered puzzles, clever reveals, and that perfect mix of story-driven immersion and hands-on challenge that enthusiasts look for. The set design (great as always with OTM) pulls you straight into Pinocchio’s world, and the puzzle flow feels incredibly intentional. No filler, no dead moments. just steady momentum as you follow in Pinocchio’s footsteps. For enthusiasts, it hits that sweet spot: challenging but fair, whimsical, with some standout moments that make the entire experience memorable. We played as a family of four, and it felt like the ideal group size. Everyone had a favorite puzzle had something meaningful to do without ever stepping on each other’s toes. Highly recommended If you’re an enthusiast, avid escaper or new to the escape room scene.
