The Weeping WitchCross Roads Escape GamesEscape roomIRLThis is the total package. The set, while small, was absolutely amazing and had some great effects. Plenty of puzzles to do in parallel. The live actor definitely kicked it up a notch - this was a scary room. Highly recommended.
The Curse Of The Black KnightEscapeX Rooms - IrvineEscape roomIRLRemains one of my favorite rooms. The set used a very efficiently use of space. The experience felt very cinematic and the ending was probably my favorite out of all of the escape rooms I've done.
Hijinx at Joffre ManorNerdy by Nature Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLThis was an amazing set. They really make you feel like you are in a manor (and outside the manor). While most of the puzzles were intuitive, I think things started off a bit slow (there's a lot to do, but nothing at the beginning had the same wow factor as the later parts of the set). This still remains one of my favorite escape rooms - maybe in my top 3.
EdelineCloud EscapeEscape roomIRLThe set and special effects were great, as was the storyline. For a non-actor room, it had a real element of fear —nothing overly scary, but there was certainly suspense. The puzzles were just ok and linear, probably wouldn't be suitable for larger groups imo.
Wicked WonderlandEscape Room 66 - Laguna HillsEscape roomIRLThis was a very fun room. Mostly a lock and key escape room but plenty to keep everyone busy. It was paced really well.
The Secrets Of Shadow PointWild Goose Escapes - Huntington BeachEscape roomIRLMostly a linear room (which we typically find less entertaining) but the pacing of this room was good for a small group. Most puzzles were intuitive, there was one or two that were not and we had to take a hint. For a no actor room it did have some scare elements but still fine imo for teenager+.
The AtticEscapeX Rooms - IrvineEscape roomIRLI really enjoyed this room. Had some great elements that made this room a little scary. We got stuck a few times but overall the flow of this was excellent. Highly recommended.
