    Some clever puzzles. Good for a group of 3-4. A little contrived/canned story and logic wise, but we enjoyed it!

    Fun. Some slightly fiddly / I think accidentally triggered puzzles. Definitely one of those rooms where they give you a notepad and you absolutely need to use it. There was math, at one point? Enjoyed the theming. Not my favorite as far as cohesion (giving the puzzles story significance rather than just "for the sake of", but truly my only major complaint was the heat inside the room. My group of 2 escaped handily, though we lost momentum at the end due to the aforementioned heat and tight space towards the end.

    Everyone was great. Fun effects, very hands on. Don't wear your nice shoes. Very immersive when we went. I genuinely felt like everything we touched was kind of a hazard/had some danger attached. It was clearly controlled and intentional but man did they sell it. I'm not big on gore or scary stuff, so it was pretty easy to make me jumpy but wow. Years later and I haven't forgotten this one.

    Can't recommend. The owner/guide there seemed more interested in hustling us through the room and showing "his" work than on an immersive experience for the guests. The puzzles and the atmosphere were fine. Kind of niche. The guy seemed to want to explain it all, and I felt like, to a certain extent, a successful room explains itself? The hints were very "wow, are you stupid?" before explaining something completely unintuitive over the comms. Interesting use of space and perspective/façade. I could tell there were some interesting ideas at play there, but most of my favorite parts about the sets were purely aesthetic. Can't say much for the story itself. Felt hamstrung by limited technology. Mostly though, my qualms are with what I encountered before and after the game. Small, uncomfortable moments really add up. Heard some kind of rude off color jokes being made as small talk with groups in passing. Comments were made about a member of my party's speech patterns/"accent". The vibe was very "we tolerate you being here because you're paying but you're not exactly 'welcome'." Employees were kind and doing everything right, to be clear. That is why I'm being judicious about this review. Very clearly just the corporate ethos of this locale. Can't say I'll be returning.

    Good Story. Pretty spotty production quality, at least when we went. All their props are clearly real/repurposed goods-- rough edges, rust and all. Which adds to the aesthetic but isn't very... well, safe. Especially for a room so physical, and one you do with strangers. I cut my hand open on the metal edge of a chest containing clues and spent tbe next 15 mins of the game holding my hand up to the cameras and trying to get someone to come in and give me a band aid or something. Host was super nice about it, but clearly not in a position to actually prevent it happening again. So... yeah. Cool puzzles. You can go-- just get your tetanus shot first?

    This was the first room I remember doing in Los Angeles/ my first "Real" escape. I don't remember all that much about it except that it really felt like we were driving up to a random apartment complex and walking into something unexpected, which I thought was radical. The whole city became theming. Maybe not smart for a bunch of college kids, but hey, hell of a story.
