The Mush RoomEscape Room 66 - Los AngelesEscape roomIRLThis was such a fun and detailed room for our group of 8, including 4 kids ages 8-10. The kids don’t like any potentially scary rooms, including darkness, loud noises, spooky music or scary themes. So it’s quite a challenge finding a room fitting those criteria and that accommodates 8 people AND that allows kids who are young as 8 years. Game master and proprietor Tuesday was a delight - so friendly and happy to chat with us and quick with the hints when we needed them. If every game master could be Tuesday that would be phenomenal. The lock and key puzzles may seem less gadgety and cool but actually they were so well done and deeply themed and everything worked (unlike at the rooms where magnetized locks and similar are heavily used). The puzzles were challenging but not too much so for our group - we worked well but still needed a few hints to make it in the hour. I’d highly recommend this to anyone with kids or others who want to avoid any fright potential and who wants an interesting and deeply themed room. There was lots to do for all the kids (and parents!) and no fighting over who got to use the key, open the box, etc. - which was a major victory in itself!
Da Vinci's Secret60Out - HollywoodEscape roomIRLThis was great! The hardest room my husband and I have done - it was just the 2 of us and we got several hints especially as we were running out of time at the end! We had less than 30 seconds to spare! It was full of prop based puzzles, not padlocks where you just need to find out a 4 or 5 digit number or letter code. Really cool effects! Some of the props took a little patience because they were worn a bit but nothing major! And Rachel was so helpful and friendly! I think kids could do this one (but the horror room next door sounded pretty scary!).
