The Whispering Halls - CLOSEDEnchambered Live Escape Room AdventureEscape roomIRLAnother one of Enchambereds’ best rooms. Big play area with all sorts of puzzles to branch of into. A bigger group is recommended as theres something to do for everyone. The set up and environment are great. Not one of those dull rooms with just one room and a few locks. The puzzles themselves were a little more difficult than what i’m used to, really made us think on some things but figuring it out was part of it. Great staff, helped us when we needed it and made the experience enjoyable.
Carn-Evil - CLOSEDEscape Fair OaksEscape roomIRLThis homebrew escape room was actually very fun to do. The puzzles were all mechanical, no electronic fancy stuff. We had fun even without all that. The puzzles had some refreshing ideas that not even the bigger production stuff has shown us. Had a group of 4 and each of us we able to complete some puzzles and feel apart of the escape. Owner was super nice to us and we can’t wait to try out their future creations she mentioned.
The Skull WitchEnchambered Live Escape Room AdventureEscape roomIRLOne of the best decorated rooms I’ve done yet. Such a great atmosphere. Many puzzles to do that need to be spread out amongst the group. Our group of 4 barely escaped with 2 seconds left. When booking it’s described as challenging and that’s not a lie. They really scratch at your brain and test your memory and reaction speed. The puzzles themselves I can describe as time consuming. The actions you do in order to progress rely on your reaction speeds. There were multiple rooms to open which kept the game suspense up and not boring. Worker was chill and I can’t wait to try the other rooms.
Capitol TreasureNeo Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLPretty fun, worth a try. The puzzles here are very precise. Got stuck in an area because the way something was positioned SEEMED correct but was off by a cm. Had a group of 4 and everyone got to do somethin. Theme felt very National Treasure esk.
Beneath the Basement - CLOSEDExit 446Escape roomIRLWe were happy to try their limited time room. They had a good idea by changing around one of their permanent rooms for the holiday and making you go backwards. The changes were clear and puzzles from the original room didn’t collide. The owner wasn’t present this time but he’s hired good and friendly employees. The room wasn’t too difficult but we had to use a couple hints. Still a great time and we escaped !
Misery Mine - Closing Oct 4Heartstoppers Haunted HouseHauntHaunted houseIt truly is complete darkness and I just don’t care for that. It was a long walkthrough just feeling around where to go, got one good jumps scare but the rest of the time was just frustrating figuring out where to go. It was time consuming to walk slowly not out of fear but annoyance for not having a clear direction to walk.
Blightwoods - Closing Oct 4Heartstoppers Haunted HouseHauntHaunted houseHad some nice decorations but it was a wide pathway which wasn’t covered much with said decorations. Felt really empty and no jump scares
The Mad Scientist [prev. The Laboratory]Brain Games Escape RoomEscape roomIRLComing to this one with a group of 7 was perfect for the challenge presented. It was a two room escape with a million locks and challenges that were in a certain order to follow. Some people don’t like the small space but hundred locks type of set up but I thought this one had it planned out well. With 70 minutes of time instead of 60 we barely made it out with a minute left. We all had something to do to keep ourselves busy then join the others with their puzzles. Pretty fun place. Def recommend
Dark Entities - CLOSEDKnott’s Scary FarmHauntHaunted houseDark Entities is one of my favorite reoccurring haunts. They change the set up little every year but the atmosphere and the story were still great this year.
Cash Me If You CanRed Door Escape Room - ConcordEscape roomIRLLove casino themed things. This was a really great escape room overall. Had a bigger group but everyone got to help with something and didn’t have anyone feel left out. Puzzles weren’t too difficult and there were a bunch to do. How’s its set up is that you can skip a few and still escape due to how this specific escape room plays around the main objective.
Los Montrous Gym - CLOSEDExit 446Escape roomIRLThis is Exit 446 biggest room where 10 people can actually fit and move around. Multiple puzzles can be done at the same time so everyone can partner up and do somethin. Puzzles weren’t too difficult and as long as you have communication and let everyone try a puzzle from their perspective then you can pass. Had some puzzles im not familiar with so we had to use a hint that opened our eyes to have easy it could have been solved if just looked at in a different way. Great puzzle ideas here !
Depths of Osiris [VR]Diablo EscapesEscape roomIRLVRThe Depths was a cool underwater experience. Had a group of 5 people, communication is strongly needed. The puzzles were easy to understand once you got the idea. Be ready for a good amount of perfectly timed puzzles. The layout of the rooms and puzzles fit the theme well. There was a total of 5 scenarios to go through. Not too much movement was needed in VR like some other rooms so you won’t finish all sweaty. Staff was nice to us and was helpful to my friends who were doing their first escape room.
Laserbots [VR]Diablo EscapesEscape roomIRLVRAdded this extra room after our reservation just cuz and it was a quick little robot defense game. Not a simple shoot ‘em up, use your brains and teammates to figure out the best way to defend yourselves.
Haunted TrainNeo Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLFirst room i’ve done here and it was very exciting. I’ll start by saying the first puzzle of the game, like others have said, was a big time waster because it just wasn’t making sense even with hints. After that the rest of the puzzles were very team based and required a lot of communication. Hearing everyone run around shouting was a blast. The theme of the room was a fun chilling story you follow that made my friends scared.
Lost CityEscapology - San DiegoEscape roomIRLStaff: Our guy was super chill and talked about the rooms and how this one was in a new building. Real good guy. The Room: Well decorated, that kinda treasure seeker atmosphere, use of lighting, lasers, and math. The Puzzles: This room made me feel the most stupid I could be. Had to ask for the most hints I’ve ever had, I must have had a bad day. But there were some puzzle solutions that just made me go “why did that work?!”. They just didn’t feel right. Overall. Great staff, confusing room. Goin back to try the other ones.
The MorgueLimitless Escape GamesEscape roomIRLThis newer room was pretty fun and spooky to go through. The puzzles worked well into each other and weren’t too hard to understand. I enjoyed the multiple rooms. With 6 people it can be very cramped in the first room, additional areas offer more space. Very LOUD noises, wasn’t a scary room but the noises would make you flinch. No story to follow with completing puzzles, you’re givin the rundown why you’re in the room before you begin but it’s a traditional you just have to escape setup. Staff at the end basically said you made it out, goodbye. No debrief or offer to answer questions regarding the room or offer to take group photo until I asked. Wasn’t very cheery like every other escape room i’ve done. Still a fun room i would recommend 👍🏼
The CourtyardTHE BASEMENT: A Live Escape Room Experience - SylmarEscape roomIRLOne of the best escape rooms I’ve done. Able to accommodate and preferred a group of 6-10. Had a group of 8. The play area was large, multiple areas, live spooky actors. The puzzles were challenging and there were multiple to divide amongst the group. Live actor was amazing and all staff we super nice to us.
The StudyTHE BASEMENT: A Live Escape Room Experience - SylmarEscape roomIRLFirst time at a horror themed escape room, amazing staff, had a group of 6 that required full communication. Once we understood the story and how the room puzzles were coming together it became a better experience. Live actor performed well for us even though we were runnin all over the place. Good escape room
The ProspectTrapped in TahoeEscape roomIRLThe story is cool in the beginning but there was one puzzle that you need to have a lot of patience for. That one puzzle took like half an hour to beat i swear it was so time consuming. It lowered the moral for the rest of the group for the remaining time and we didn’t get to escape. A single room that’s about 20min of fun in an hour session.
