Hope EndThe Ministry Of PeculiaritiesEscape roomIRLBy far my favorite room in SoCal and a must play if you are in the area. The moment you are outside the room you are immersed, and that is thanks to the incredible job done by the live actors (even the GM). From start to finish was like a roller coaster and was filled with laughs and memories I will never forget. Shoutout to Emma and North for being such awesome characters!!! Will say this is more of an immersive experience/investigation rather than a try and escape kind of thing.
The Weeping WitchCross Roads Escape GamesEscape roomIRLA MUST PLAY ROOM EVEN IF YOU'RE SCARED OF HORROR ROOMS!! Definitely in the top 5 for me. Immersion was it's best suite and puzzles were unique and interesting. Do with people that get scared easy :)) makes the experience a whole lot enjoyable. Puzzles were easy to connect and flow through each of them, and fit the theme well.
The Last SupperQuest TavernEscape roomIRLLast Supper was one of my very first rooms, and it is the main reason I got into escape rooms. The amount of love and passion put into Quest Tavern's room is apparent and honestly contagious. Would highly reccomend this room even if you are starting out, such an amazing and immersive experience.
Irvine School of Wizardry and the Goblin's SecretsHidden DonkeyEscape roomIRLAnother really pretty and passionate room from Hidden Donkey. Reccomend doing both rooms back to back. A lot of the puzzles are creative and unique. Made me go woahhhh every time we solved something.
Irvine School Of Wizardry And The Dragon WandHidden DonkeyEscape roomIRLOne of the most prettiest and creative rooms I've done. Hidden donkey has very quality rooms and I reccomend playing them back to back. Would say its dark in the beggining and the last room it's pretty easy to trip DO NOT RUN but, really awesome room 100000% reccomend.
Ink & AshesExodus Escape RoomEscape roomIRLVery solid narrative driven room. Liked most of the puzzles, and had a good sense of flow in between them. Really only disliked 2 of the puzzles, you really have to use everything in the room as it has significance. Emmanuel was an awesome host!
The Bridge BetweenQuest TavernEscape roomIRLQuest Tavern is cracked man. I thought Last Supper would be my top but Bridge Between is very close. Quest Tavern always has a way to make puzzles and set designs that make you go wow and lose your mind because you're stimulating so much with how cool and immersed they are. Bridge between definitely had harder puzzles but my group had an easieer time because there was no live actor LOL
Ghost LightMyssTic RoomsEscape roomIRLReally awesome room, was only in NY for one day and had to pick a room for 2 people. Did not dissapoint. Really pretty and immersive room, puzzles were creative and fit the theme really well, progression also flowed well. Would definitely reccomend if you have 2 people. Dexter was a great Game Master!
The Tipsy TailorIntrepid Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLDefinitely one of my favorite rooms. Immersion was spot on for what is was selling, and puzzles were great. They do something really cool where you can get a high score at the end based on how many puzzles you solve which I thought was pretty neat. Bring no more than 4 people.
Through The Sugar GlassQuest TavernEscape roomIRLHigh quality and whimsical room great for the Winter season. Puzzles were creative and unique, and hard to get lost. Flow was perfect and fit the theme well along with pushing the story. Would definitely reccomend :)
