Moriarty's Manor
MindFox Escape
Escape room
IRL
Should’ve been a good room, but this just isn’t designed for two players. We have done many rooms, but this one had multiple puzzles that were awkward for two people and the puzzles were just too numerous and time consuming, even for advanced players (with less than three people). This could be easily fixed if they just pulled a couple puzzles for low player count. This room has a lot of potential, but this really ruined the experience for us. Really just shouldn’t allow less than 3 players without some changes. Also, the room is pretty filled with cliches and escape room tropes, and the ending was probably the easiest and least satisfying set of puzzles we’ve encountered in an otherwise decent room to date.

A good room with multiple tropes that hold it back. This room suffers from multiple classic issues with rooms that numb the fun: being unnecessarily dark throughout, a fair bit of easy yet tedious math, and the “mixing” of ingredients. All combined, these made it feel a bit like a Middle School science class, rather than giving you that “Aha” moment of truly great escape room. Ambiance and design were great, but we’ve had more fun in less produced rooms missing these pitfalls for sure. 7/10

Escape Room 66 - Los Angeles

A very good room that is a must-do for any hardcore escape-roomers! Mostly mechanical and not super flashy (which is a good change of pace for SoCal rooms actually); excellent gameplay and super friendly staff

Maze Rooms - West LA

Good room overall. Had one puzzle not operate properly which burned roughly ~10 minutes of our time for no real fault of our own. A little anticlimactic ending. 6.5/10 - would recommend overall; good but not great.
Whatever Happened To The Garretts?
Maze Rooms - West LA
Escape room
IRL
The classic good but not great game. Game master left one puzzle door open by accident which meant we spent some time confused trying to jump ahead and could have in theory skipped like half the game. The sound bit at the end is unecessarily complex and tedious: when you get to it, you’ll know it bc you’ll be annoyed at the straihtforward but incredibly meticulous button clicking.

Good but not great. This is one of the few rooms that neither impressed nor disappointed. Most puzzles were straightforward; a were couple non-sensical and convoluted.
Wizard's Treasure
60Out - Hollywood
Escape room

I don’t give out Morty “hearts” a lot… we’ve done a lot of rooms and a lot blend together at this point. You can tell that this room was made by people who really LOVE escape rooms. Hard to say anything other than delightful and cute. This is definitely an easier room in terms of difficulty. Take your time and solve puzzles together if you want to get the most fun experience. If I could recommend any first room, it would be this one hands down.
Twenty Ghosts
Brain Games Escape Room

Overall very fun experience. A very linear room. Not a ton of the “aha” or feeling clever moments, but overall still very fun. Great game master. 7/10
The Mush Room
Escape Room 66 - Los Angeles
Escape room

A truly adorable room. Super cute them and nice and non-linear. You can tell this room is built by a lover of escape rooms. Note: room is not well suited for smaller novice groups.
The Perfumer
Quest Room - Hollywood

This room was fine and would’ve been good with more people. We were a group of two that has never lost a room, and we’ve both done about 25. We finished this one, but barely and not without a lot of hints. Our GM kinda sucked and the hints weren’t very helpful though — sometimes that happens with unenthusiastic staff when you book a late night room I guess. This room would be fine, but really it should be a 3-8 person room given the amount of puzzles and the large amount of room. If you have an expert group of 4+ go for it! If not, don’t bother.
