13th BasementExit Game OC - AnaheimEscape roomIRLGreat story and game, I can not wait to see what other rooms they are thinking of next. The game masters were very nice and just fun in spirit. The game itself is not as difficult, but still head scratcher at times. My team and I really tried to enjoy the room and puzzles instead of trying to do it quickly. Immersive and decor were very nice and detailed. We did get frustrated but we were able to figure it out and I appreciated the game master from holding back from giving us hints. Game does has some scary moments, but it was not a true horror feeling to me so hopefully none horror fans will enjoy it. Ending was great and we really were laughing and smiling before we left, so all in all a good time!!
An Hour to KillThe Exit Game - Los AngelesEscape roomIRLThis room was basic and many of the puzzles were not working. One of the gamemaster was actually in the room helping us out, also I felt like they did not care and just wanted us to touch and solve the puzzles. The story was not interesting and not set up well by the game master.
An Office EscapeCinema Escape Rooms - Los AlamitosEscape roomIRLThe game was fun and It allowed me to reminisce about my favorite shows, a good tribute. The puzzles were not too difficult but would recommend at least 4 for a mix of type of players from non experienced to experienced players. 2 experienced is doable I think, we did it with three. The puzzles were linear and the space was huge for the amount of puzzles in the room. Gamemaster was nice and helpful, did not give hints, more of nudges for us. It took us too long to figure out the first puzzle that would allow us to start the room. I cant wait to see their other tribute room escapes. :P
Atlantis: The Forgotten CityHypnotic Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLThe room was really well done and I liked the GM goal was for us to feel like we were in a different world. I really like the puzzles and the tech. It was an interesting room. It was not as difficult as I thought it would be. I liked the flow and how the puzzles felt interactive. But the best part was you felt the passion and pride the owners had for the room. They require 4 people to play but in general it can be down with 2 people.
AtticEscape Hotel HollywoodEscape roomIRLAt this moment I see this room is rated as easy, I do not know why. Unless I am mistaken but it was hard for me. We did not make it out of the room, some puzzles took longer to figure out and cause us to be trapped. We rated as a medium to high difficulty. The setting of the room is amazing, very scary. The room was a bit too dark to see some of the puzzles though. The story was well done, the puzzles were innovative.
AvalancheMaze Rooms - Robertson BlvdEscape roomIRLThe new game is pretty fun. The puzzles and rooms were interesting and fun. The story, like others state, makes no sense. I really did not understand the ending though. A bit disjointed but I liked everything else. The production and twist were definitely there. On the website it stated hard, but it was definitely medium for experienced players maybe a bit easy for others. Other than that I would like to try their other rooms. Puzzles are linear.
Cannibal's DenQuest Room - HollywoodEscape roomIRLThis game was definitely different and the puzzles were atypical from traditional rooms. As I saw from another review, this site definitely does have the best game masters (2nd time here). They are friendly, they explain the rules, they make sure you feel a part of the story. As for the room, it took me and my friend a long time to get started because of a task that was different. The room is definitely light on the puzzles. It was a mix of interesting and frustration at times. It was still a good time and would recommend it. Ending was okay, thanks for the mini scare! The story was alright though, it would have been better with more puzzles.
Casino Heist60Out - West LAEscape roomIRLWe were told it was their first rooms and first location. It was easily seen because it definitely felt first gen in a way and basic. BUT the gameplay was cute and definitely a good room to bring newbies into room escapes. I was surprised how many of the puzzles were not the typical combination / Lock heavy as some first gen rooms tend to be. The story was ok. I am glad I was able to play an older room before they move. Game master was so nice and very into discussing the room after.
Central BankWild Goose Escapes - FullertonEscape roomIRLThis room was hard, but was fun to play. Probably do not bring any newbies, more experienced heads will def help. Did not escape with the object in question. Hopefully after more time has past, I would like to do the room again. It was not as decorated highly like other rooms I seen but for the scenario, I guess it did not need to be.
ConfinementRed Door Escape Room - San DiegoEscape roomIRLDecided to give this room a try due to recommendations. I am glad to have played it, I thought it was a good price with two people. The game was super hard and there were many puzzles, which is why doing it just the two of us was difficult. If we had one or two more, we would have definitely escaped. Me and my sis were used to the puzzles but one or two of the puzzles/clues set us back and we should have asked for clues accordingly. I really liked the spookiness aspect of it, I do not think it was scary. The game master was extremely nice and we decided to ask him again for the second room later that night. I really like the flow of the game many different aspects of it and would recommend it to more seasoned players, 2-4, but the game master did say some newbies have escaped but they had many players. I like the story and how it connects with the other room escapes, so if you played more than one room there, more will be found out.
