The Hacker of Silicon ValleyBreakout Studios - San JoseEscape roomIRLIt was a good enough game and level of hardness was good. But theme, storyline, and design aren’t as interesting or high value as some of the other escape rooms in the South Bay.
Casino HeistPanIQ Room - West HollywoodEscape roomIRLSkip this game and honestly I would advise skip all of the games at this location. We finished the 45min room with 18mins to spare and we didn’t get a single hint. That’s crazy and a bummer. Felt like a waste of money. Room is way too easy and they need to rethink the puzzles and game flow. It’s only been open for two weeks so I’m sure that’s what’s going to happen because it will continue to receive poor ratings if they don’t. I’ve been to other PanIQ locations and enjoyed them, so this is disappointing. They spent more effort on looks rather than the games.
Project Minotaur - CLOSEDQuest Room - HollywoodEscape roomIRLThis is an immersive experience with some puzzles. Very different than any other room I’ve done but I loved it. I normally don’t like having live actors but this was amazing. Highly recommend!!!!
Escobar: Part 2 (The Final Hour)The Escape RevolutionEscape roomIRLReally enjoyed it. Puzzles were fun and the perfect mix of hard yet solvable.
The Time MachineMindTrix Escape Room GamesEscape roomIRLOkay but not great room. It felt a little like a modge podge of a game with a cool idea but not well executed. Some puzzles were too easy while others were confusing and didn’t make much sense. Also some were %100 aligned with theme while others felt disconnected. GM also explicitly said clues were one and done and that was not true which slowed down our game.
American Revolution - CLOSEDPortland Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLIt was an ok enough game but this is the second room we’ve done at this place and both times we got out with over 20mins… it was cool looking but too easy of a room. It could use a couple more puzzles or some harder ones.
Candy FactoryClockwise Escape Room - OaklandEscape roomIRLGreat room, definitely enjoyed it. We only had three people but was manageable.
UndercookedOmescape - SunnyvaleEscape roomIRLLove this game. At first I felt like it was crazy and like I didn’t understand what to do but then it started to make sense and we completed all but one of the puzzles. Such a good game! Can’t wait until we play their other games. Truth was our host and he was friendly and super entertaining.
Lombino's CasinoIn Search Of An ExitEscape roomIRLOverall we really liked the game and highly recommend others to play it!
Saving FrankensteinClockwise Escape Room - PleasantonEscape roomIRLI enjoyed this room. It was fun and had good puzzles. Nothing stood out as amazing but I feel like it was a solid room and I’m excited to go back and play the other games.
The Weeping WitchCross Roads Escape GamesEscape roomIRLIt’s definitely a front runner for best game I’ve played. It’s so well executed, even down to the hints and how they gave them.
The TreehouseConfusion EscapesEscape roomIRLI really enjoyed this room. The puzzles really flowed well with the story line, varied in level of hardness, and were unique. The owners are super nice and spent time chatting with us after. Highly recommend.
The Fun HouseCross Roads Escape GamesEscape roomIRLOverall it was a great room. I really like Kaylie our host, she was fun and very interactive. There’s a lot going on in the room so it can feel overwhelming. I like that it had a good range of puzzles from somewhat easy to super hard. We did this one immediately after doing weeping witch which was sooo amazing so this one had a hard time living up to that one, but was still really good.
The Bridge BetweenQuest TavernEscape roomIRLWe liked this one but theme and story line was a little weird. At times felt incongruous and the puzzles often didn’t make sense in the story. However there was a good mix of types and level of puzzles and some fun surprises. Overall I recommend the room and enjoyed it.
Christmas: Help Wanted - CLOSEDLocked AdventuresEscape roomIRLKid friendly and pretty easy but still had fun with 4 adults playing. Good if you’re new to escape rooms.
Cyberpunk SamuraiMaze Rooms - LAXEscape roomIRLI love the wacky quirkiness of the rooms at Maze and have had an awesome experience both times. I highly recommend this room but would suggest you go with less than four, which is how many people we did it with. With 28mins left on the clock it felt disappointing to finish even if it made us feel like geniuses. So I think if you go with less people it will make it more challenging. But besides it being easy, I loved it and can’t wait to do more rooms here the next time I’m in LA.

Phantom Of The Big TopThe Ultimate Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLI wouldn’t say it’s the worst game we’ve played but it was a frustrating game because it didn’t have the best user experience and could use more refinement. Since it’s the only escape rooms in Solvang, I would say you should play it but just don’t have high expectations. And also expect some puzzles not to work since a review from a year ago and half a year ago both say it had broken puzzles.
Ghost PatrolTrivium GamesEscape roomIRLOverall it was a really fun game and I recommend it but if you’ve done games in the past and your team is more than three, don’t expect to take the full 90mins. Also the storyline falters and doesn’t really have anything to do with ghosts but it’s okay since the design & set quality is vey high and we’ll maintained so it makes up for lack of ghosts. I liked the puzzles and we kept wondering how kids would do some of them and the host said they just end up giving unlimited hints and help.
