The Escape Game - San Diego

  • Escape room

Overall, this game is a lot of fun! Cool high-tech take on the classic time travel theme with a good variety of puzzles. I have a few nit-picky moments I didn’t love, but they were overshadowed by the immersive fun of the room. Unfortunately, I can’t imagine giving a “heart” to any game at TEG simply because of their booking system. This room is too small for the amount of people they shove into it. The price is way too high, especially for a public booking system. I only played this room today because it was a friend’s birthday party. It’s the only local company I haven’t played before simply because I don’t like playing with 5* strangers in a tiny room.

MindTrap Escape Room - Murrieta

Full disclaimer: I am MindTrap’s biggest fan. I wear their branded hat at least once a week. When I meet people who live in Temecula or Murrieta my first question is - do you want an escape room recommendation? All this to say, I am a fangirl because MindTrap creates consistently immersive, fun, interesting, story driven experiences. Winnie the Pooh is a must-play. It is whimsical and truly feels like magic multiple times throughout the game. The puzzles are fun and rewarding. The narrative drive makes it feel like you’re living in a Winnie the Pooh story book. I know some people review games like this as potentially too easy and whine about “not getting their full hour” but I would much rather have a fun game with logical flow than a time-suck game meant to frustrate experienced players for the sake of better Morty reviews. Winnie the Pooh can be enjoyed by anyone of any experience level because it’s just a good escape room. It’s fun. It will make you smile. Although high tech, the puzzles still give the classic feeling of an escape room. It’s not an adventure of putting things where they go. It’s solving puzzles within an immersive story. I recommend this game to you. Whoever you are. Oh bother, I love this game.

Finally did it! Finally met The Cannibal! Lots of fun. See my details for accessibility aspects worth noting. Great game in great condition. Upon reflection, we realized the actor did touch a few of us without warning that touching would be involved. For me, this knocks it down in rating and recommendation. Consent is key to a good spooky time! Or any time! With all that said, this game is a classic for a reason!!

Tons of puzzles! At times obscure and overwhelming, but maybe that’s because it reminded us of every single school subject we struggled in. With that said, the set is incredible. Use of lighting and sound is perfect. Story is cool. Lots of unique wow moments. Definitely a fun one!

Red Door Escape Room - San Diego

Poor game mastering moved this down from a decent room to a bad room. It’s a cute but worn down set, decent tech, a few really cool moments. Unfortunately we wasted 20 minutes (not exaggerating) asking for a hint, getting hints of things we already did / no responses, only to find out we didn’t have a key item due to a previous malfunction. Instead of acknowledging the mistakes, it was a hint of “you must have missed…” with the thing that never happened. In the end a different person came to congratulate us and kept saying “you had fun right?” And did apologize once I explained the issue. Even without this part, the game was wayyy too hot, required some outside knowledge, and had at least one thing I would consider a true red herring.

This game is a blast!!! I love puzzles that fit the story/world and this game has plenty of them. A few puzzles seemed to need logic leaps but not so much that it ruined the experience. Really enjoyed the overall theming of the lobby and hallways in addition to the room itself. Customer service was great. We had a lot of fun! My minor critiques would be some of the word locks were finicky and need replacing, and one room is poorly lit to the point it made a puzzle unsolvable without hints. These felt minor in the context of the overall experience which was delightful.

Loved the cute and whimsical theming of this room! Big fan of cute games that are more enjoyable than stressful and this is the perfect example. We were a team of 3 and felt it was a perfect sized group. They also told us they can adjust the game to be a little more difficult which they did for us, so worth letting them know if you’re experienced!

80’s fun! Loved the story and the theming! Lots of cute puzzles with some unique moments. If you love 80s rock, arcade games, pop culture, or just having fun you’ll love this game! Great for a small group too.

Usually not a fan of bonus puzzle or non traditional games but I LOOOVED this room. Incredible set. Fun mixture of puzzles. seemingly endless things to do. My team of 3 only missed a few puzzles but the moderator was kind enough to show us the solutions to get the full experience. A huge group could fit in here easily. Get your German ready. One critique is I wish we were told how much loot we left with. The dollar amount would be fun.

My wife and I booked this game super last minute because we were in the area and we had a great time! Very fun room that is worth doing! Just the right amount of spooky to get us screaming but able to solve puzzles. Loved the mixture of puzzles in the room. Story and atmosphere are fun. Definitely leans on stereotypes of Louisiana / Creole culture / Voodoo just to be aware.
