Winnie The PoohMindTrap Escape Room - MurrietaEscape roomIRLA delightful game that builds out the source material very well, from storytelling, to puzzles, to game environments. We particularly enjoyed a special mid-game sequence and a couple of adorable surprises. A great game for all ages without skimping out on good puzzling.
Conspiracy Of Tia Canyons CorpMindTrap Escape Room - TemeculaEscape roomIRLA fun game with the same great quality we’ve come to expect from any MindTrap experience. Although our personal experience led to awkward puzzle flow at points, the game still offers a great variety of puzzles that are fun to complete. The environment really shines here - a clever use of space and effects that make you feel like you’re sneaking around the tunnels below a giant corporation.

The Mush Room - CLOSEDEscape Room 66 - Los AngelesEscape roomIRLA whimsical and hand-crafted game, stuffed with a really nice flow of puzzles, with unique start and end sequences. Above and beyond customer service that made our experience feel unique and totally our own. Would definitely recommend! As of writing this, the game is set to close at the end of June 2026, with plans to reopen elsewhere down the road, so go play while you can!
Hijinx at Joffre ManorNerdy by Nature Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLLike, wow, gang! This game was an absolute joy to play - a classic whodunnit meets fun puzzling, all taking place in a beautifully designed environment. Excellent flow, creative use of space, and an obvious love and respect for the source material. It almost felt like we were the stars of our own hour-long episode of TV, complete with memorable beginning, middle, and end scenes, and good puzzling scattered between.
Battleship - The Pirate EditionNo. 1 Escapes - Sky ParkEscape roomIRLPrepare for battle as you race to solve endless puzzles in exchange for cannonballs which are put to use in a big game of Battleship. A very large number of puzzles to keep all experience levels busy the entire time. We really appreciated that puzzles were labeled by difficulty, with harder puzzles giving bigger rewards, allowing us to strategize. Your group will be split into two teams for the battle portions of the game, but your group has the choice of working together or competing against each other during the puzzling portions of the game. They don’t offer any hints for this game, and some harder puzzles are clued more cryptically, so I’d recommend playing this game after you have a few escape rooms under your belt. The game absolutely flew by because there was so much to sink our teeth into - fastest hour ever!
Ghost StoriesBrain Games Escape RoomEscape roomIRLQuite a memorable game, with a large number of puzzles that were really fun to interact with, all brought to life by an incredibly detailed environment, props large and small, and a very funny and unique guide to every nook and cranny of the space.
The Mad Scientist [prev. The Laboratory]Brain Games Escape RoomEscape roomIRLAn absolute puzzle fest with adaptive gameplay to give groups of all experience levels a full and satisfying game. While the environment and story lean more simplistic, there’s a large number and huge variety of puzzles, many of which fit the theme nicely. While many of the puzzles seemed old-school (not a bad thing!), they all felt elevated or included a small twist to make them feel special, including a couple of unique elements we’ve never experienced in an escape room before!
Wizard TrialsPanIQ Room - West HollywoodEscape roomIRLA solid game with a fun spin on the wizard theme. A game I’d gladly recommend to newer escape room players, with puzzles that felt achievable and not overly complex, while still being a good time for more experienced players.
Alice's DreamMind Twist Escape ExperienceEscape roomIRLA game that honors the source material well through a number of distinct and hand-built environments, with plenty of puzzles to keep us busy, but a quick refresh of some of the props and tech could make this experience a bit more cohesive and seamless.
Twisted MatrixMaze Rooms - VermontEscape roomIRLI love a game that takes a huge swing, and the result here is a big thumbs up. Scenery snobs, puzzle pros, and red (even blue) pill takers will all be rewarded with an experience full of memorable moments, unique surprises, and incredible use of space. The puzzles were fun to solve and fit nicely in their respective environments. A couple of AI generated videos did feel like occasional visual outliers in an otherwise beautifully designed environment. Would recommend playing!
Crazy Train: The Ballad of Skeemin' PlotzDoldrick's Escape RoomEscape roomIRLThe hype is real. This game was such a joy to experience, and we didn't want the fun to end. Incredible attention to detail, seamless integration of screens/lighting/sound, clever and enjoyable puzzles, and a one-of-a-kind aesthetic that made us feel like kids again while starring in our own cartoon. While the story was infused with humor, it still found a way to keep raising the stakes with surprising moments that kept us on our toes for the duration of our scenic train ride.
DreamEscape Artists - OrlandoEscape roomIRLAn ambitious concept for a game, which resulted in both surprising moments and some bumps along the way. The story is completely unique and creatively brought to life in an escape room setting, but certain moments left us scratching our heads a bit. We were rewarded with a large amount of puzzling, one particularly unique and memorable physical challenge, and completely distinct environments within the game, but a few adjustments to the storyline and pacing of the puzzles could make the experience more cohesive.
Big Brain Labs60Out - HollywoodEscape roomIRLScience! Finally, living proof that data collection can be incredibly fun!

Election DayAppleseed AvenueEscape roomIRLThis is what escape rooms are all about - a game that made me fall in love with the medium all over again. An incredibly detailed neighborhood made up of distinctly beautiful spaces, intuitive onboarding, clever and logical problem solving, and one-of-a-kind character interactions, which were ALL in service of hilarious, dramatic, and unforgettable storytelling. I can’t stop thinking about this game. If you want to experience some of the most immersive gameplay and storytelling in the area, swing by Appleseed Avenue and register to vote before Election Day. What could go wrong?

The Body ShopRed Fox EscapesEscape roomIRLI can’t stop thinking about this game! Incredibly impressive and immersive set design, genuinely clever and surprising storytelling, and puzzles that require items and tools you’d actually find and use in a repair shop. Plenty of surprising moments that had us thinking, “we get to do that?!” What also stood out to us was the room’s adaptive gameplay. The game adjusts the number of puzzles seamlessly based on your group’s speed of solving. All types of groups will be rewarded with a full hour of puzzle solving. A must play in the Boston area. It’s Girl Scouts law.
Conundrum MuseumBoxarooEscape roomIRLEscape room puzzling at the highest level. The game kicked off in a very memorable way, before an hour full of challenging yet satisfying puzzles. Plenty of puzzle types we’ve never seen before, too! The lighting and artwork made us feel like we were making our way through an actual art gallery, where puzzles slowly started to reveal themselves upon closer inspection. If you have a few escape rooms under your belt and you enjoy puzzle solving, you will be greatly rewarded with this game.
Inksidious - CLOSEDEscape Room 66 - Los AngelesEscape roomIRLChanneled our inner DoodleBob for a very fun and clever game. The storyline stood out to us the most, with a unique and memorable beginning, middle, and end. A healthy number of logical and enjoyable puzzles, with a few that poke fun at escape room tropes (but still utilize those tropes for solving). Jules was such a fantastic, upbeat, and kind host! Would definitely recommend this game, and when you do visit, tell Beans I say pspspsps 🐈
