Sal's CyberneticsThe Immersive MachineEscape roomIRLIt's prettt ridiculous how well thought out this room was. The flow just hits so many sweet spots from difficulty of puzzles, to attention to detail in the production, to making puzzles feel thematic, to the pacing that gradually builds from simple "easy win" puzzles to "omg are we going to be able to solve in time". It's hard to describe the pacing, it's not a frantic am I going to finish the room feeling but more of a "am I going to stop the bad guys in time" feeling. I felt vested in the story and that brought the pacing up but in a very good way. It's a newer room that's still a bit under the radar but could easily be in people's top lists of favorite rooms. I really hope that the owners build more rooms because there's so much they could do with the material from their first room to continue the story.
The Hex RoomCross Roads Escape GamesEscape roomIRLGreat room, gives people specific roles, such that you could play the room again with a different role and at least 50% would be new to you. Don't do this room with a group that doesn't communicate well...you'll end up angry
Phantom Soldier - CLOSEDSquare Room Escape - IrvineEscape roomIRLA lot of the technology didn't work very well
Hope EndThe Ministry Of PeculiaritiesEscape roomIRLOne of the few longer format escape rooms. Took over an hour to finish. Very immersive but a few elements were hard to see. Tech is top notch here!
Odditorium Emporium - CLOSEDEscapeX Rooms - Costa MesaEscape roomIRLThis room is great. There is an actor component that makes it hilarious. The way the room is structured, you could play it multiple times and would still enjoy. I've played it three times already
The Temple - CLOSEDChambers VR Escape - HonoluluEscape roomIRLGreat escape room in oahu! just glad to see this level of escape room in the islands and not just on the mainland. Felt like indiana jones here. very recommended
Escape the Darkest Hour: Torture ChamberMission Escape GamesEscape roomIRLGood room but very difficult to see in. Operator is probably trying to create a certain atmosphere but unintentionally makes puzzles difficult for the wrong reasons. Still had fun with this one
Houdini60Out - Silver LakeEscape roomIRLReally enjoyed how they incorporated the houdini theme into escaping. Really feels like your his apprentice
The AtticEscapeX Rooms - IrvineEscape roomIRLPuzzles were really good. All tech worked well. Lighting was probably meant to contribute to the experience but low lighting made it unnecessarily difficult...e.g., hard to see things
The HeistThe Escape Game - IrvineEscape roomIRLVery fun room. Typical setup and theme for an escape room but executed really well. Interesting use of uncommon elements for rooms
Hyde Circus60Out - Silver LakeEscape roomIRLLong room, laid out over varying set. Lighting is a bit dark which makes some puzzles unnecessarily hard. But good use of tech and the wing more than make up for it
Mission To The Stars - CLOSEDPuzzle Workshop by UNLOCKEDEscape roomIRLThere were multiple components that had some tech issues. Operator could address those and probably turn this room into a much better one
Miss Jezebel 2! The Happy Holiday Heist! - CLOSED60Out - DowntownEscape roomIRLSo sad that this place is closing down. One of the best if not the best love actor escape room I've done. Not for children...not exactly kid friendly as far as the humor goes
Galaxy Quest Vol 2 - CLOSED60Out - DowntownEscape roomIRLRoom is on the smaller side but very interactive set more than made up for it. No live actor but the ship "AI" is hilarious. Make sure you're in the mood for sarcasm and you'll have a blast. Pun intended
Bloodmore Manor - CLOSEDThe EntrapmentEscape roomIRLReally fun twist on the regular fogmore manor. It's not simple decoration changes. It's completely different experience, worth doing
The Lost ExpeditionSteal and EscapeEscape roomIRLOne of the best in san diego. A ton of puzzles going on in this one. Tech is really well done as well. Not a ton of locks which I enjoyed
The Curse Of The Black KnightEscapeX Rooms - IrvineEscape roomIRLA bit difficult to review. Production value is really high, immersion is very good, all puzzles worked flawlessly. The room is a bit on the easier side and shorter than most rooms. Would recommend to people who haven't don't many escape rooms
The Escape - CLOSEDThe Unlockables - San DiegoEscape roomIRLSome cool aspects that make cooperation really important.
London Fog: The Mists of TimeThe EntrapmentEscape roomIRLJust wow, the experience was so good. The narrative is really well done. If you play the other games here, there are easter eggs from them in this room. Not critical to have played the other rooms but some nice Aha and ohhh moments
