    An absolutely fantastic room. This one is definitely is clearly designed for escape room enthusiasts. Excellent execution of a murder mystery room. 8.5/10. One of the top rooms in Orange County

    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.

    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.

    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

    Hands down one of the best rooms we’ve done. This room is straight up phenomenal! It’s incredibly rare that tech is so well implemented, and this is one of those rare rooms. Bravo

    Good and fun generic room. Nothing particular special.

    A truly great room with an annoying broken puzzle. Should have been a “heart”. Unfortunately one game element was broken, and we tried to communicate with the game master that it was broken. But the game master continued to insist that we were just misinterpreting the clue. After 10 minutes of back and forth, they finally agreed that it was broken and gave us guidance. With only two people and ten minutes wasted on the broken puzzle, we were then forced to rush through to finish on time. No apology or extension, which was frustrating when we are used to finishing with time to spare. We still finished with around 10 minutes left, but some humility and attention from the staff would’ve made all the difference.

    The lower end of what I’d give a “thumbs up”. Very linear and the puzzles felt disjointed. Was generally fun and a very cute concept. Most of the puzzles felt on the easier side and the connection between the puzzles ate up time as they could be a bit nonsensical. A lot of veteran players’ escape room intuition serves against you in this room. Could be something special with some rework, better connections between puzzles, and more plentiful puzzles overall. Currently a 6/10. Worth doing if you are low on highly rated rooms.

    Cute room with only one moderately challenging puzzle. Would recommend as a fun two player room.
