The Ghost of Blackstone ManorBoggled Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLAll of their rooms are mechanical, there’s nothing electronic happening behind the scenes but they still have such creative physical puzzles that it does not feel like a 1st gen escape room. Their puzzles are unique, creative, and flow smoothly. One of the best mom and pop shop escape rooms.
Blackbeard's Lost TreasureBack In Time Escape Rooms - East TorranceEscape roomIRLIt was a really fun room but we blew through it. Escaped in 27 minutes. NOTE: if you book through the Morty app you can’t set the difficulty, there’s moderate and advanced so if you book through the app, call ahead to request advanced. Other than that, linear room, very good flow, solid combination of keys and physical puzzles
Doomsday [prev. Paradox] - COMING SOONBoggled Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLReally enjoyed this room! Similar to their other room in the fact that it’s a gen 1 room but the puzzles are extremely creative and clever! The room is definitely not linear, you’ll need to divide and conquer, communication is huge in this room.
Pirates Of TortugaPanIQ Room - Long BeachEscape roomIRLMy friends and I enjoyed all 3 rooms we played here! Pirates was fun, immersive, and had a variety of puzzles. They weren’t challenging but we did struggle with making the connection on one of them. Kylie killed it as our game master as well!!
Wizard TrialsPanIQ Room - Long BeachEscape roomIRLThis room was super immersive! The puzzles were really unique and integrated with the room/theme really well! We had 3 experienced players, there was enough for everyone to do but it wasn’t super challenging. Kylie was a wonderful game master and Jenna was super helpful with rebooking us for the second room that we did afterword!
The Mush Room - CLOSEDEscape Room 66 - Los AngelesEscape roomIRLSo much heart went into this room, the room was packed full of puzzles that were all super creative! They were incredibly accommodating of our schedule too! Highly recommend!
Houdini's Great EscapeConTRAPtions Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLSmall room, some of the puzzles were clever but the room did not feel intuitive at all. When you solve puzzles different things quietly unlock across the room with no indication of having completed the puzzle or that something unlocked. Trial and error was also required to solve a puzzle.
HouDoneIt? - CLOSEDMy Greatest EscapeEscape roomIRLA gen 1 escape room ran by the couple that owns the magic shop as a fundraiser for scholarships they give out. The puzzles are good and provided us a challenge. Was more of a spider web room instead of linear one.
Lab RatHatch EscapesEscape roomIRLIf you couldn’t tell from the reviews, there is no reason not to play this room. Get a solid group of 4-5 people and have an absolute blast! The puzzles are completely unique, the set is huge and very well done, definitely one of the favorites
The Hex RoomCross Roads Escape GamesEscape roomIRLA must play room but make sure you play with exactly 6 people and 6 people that are each experienced players that you trust can handle a tougher room. It’s not incredibly challenging but definitely takes a good noggin! And the concept is one of a kind and so fun
Atlantis: The Forgotten CityHypnotic Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLI really enjoyed this room. The room itself covers a lot of ground and has a beautiful set design which provides lots of opportunities. The puzzles itself were not incredibly challenging but definitely made us work. And the owners are great, constantly tweaking and improving the room, making sure it stays in great shape!
The Curse Of The Black KnightEscapeX Rooms - IrvineEscape roomIRLThis room is one of the most fun rooms I’ve done. The set creates a much more physical escape room experience than almost any other room I’ve played and that really set it apart. Puzzles were also very unique and a good challenge
Whatever Happened To The Garretts?Maze Rooms - West LAEscape roomIRLThe creator of this room has never let me down. This room, just like the others, is beautifully done. The puzzles seemed pretty logically based and weren’t SUPER tricky for us but they flow incredibly well and the set and story is perfect.
ExcaliburMindTrap Escape Room - MurrietaEscape roomIRLA wonderfully fun room! Good puzzles, great set, overall wonderful experience. And the owners are incredible people as well, they take great care of the rooms and the customers
Zoe - CLOSEDEscapade GamesEscape roomIRLDefinitely recommend but play the room for the horror/experience not for the puzzles. The puzzles are pretty simple by themselves but definitely become challenging due to the nature of the room. Try putting a key in a lock while getting chased by a murderer.
Houdini60Out - Silver LakeEscape roomIRLI played this room when it first opened. This was by far the most fun I had in an escape room due to the physical nature of the puzzles and room that you don’t see in other rooms. That being said, I have heard that they changed many of these aspects due to safety issues so I’m not sure that I would have the same experience if I played it again today.
They're ComingMaze Rooms - Culver CityEscape roomIRLA challenging and thrilling room, I loved the experience and this creator has never disappointed me. The room has such fun puzzles and is filled with easter eggs that make the experience even more enjoyable.
Da Vinci's Secret60Out - HollywoodEscape roomIRLOne of my favorite 60out rooms bu, there is a ton to do, it is a very full room!
TombstoneMaze Rooms - West LAEscape roomIRLAnother one of my favorite Maze rooms. The creator of this room is my favorite of all time, he has never let me down. This room has a beautiful set, lots of really fun and unique puzzles, and just flows so well. Not incredibly challenging if you’re familiar with his style of puzzles but still makes you work for it
The Orphanage60Out - KoreatownEscape roomIRLGreat for beginners that want a scare! I played this room very only on in my escape room journey with a group of friends. We were all new to escape rooms and had an incredible time but it may be a little easy for experienced players and the fear wouldn’t be the same if you’re used to horror themed rooms
