Hope EndThe Ministry Of PeculiaritiesEscape roomIRLThis was such a fun room! It was giving off immersive theater vibes. The actors were very fun to interact with and all the different rooms were very fun to explore. The start of the game really helped set the tone of what kind of game it would be.
The Weeping WitchCross Roads Escape GamesEscape roomIRLI really enjoyed this room. The set design, puzzles, and actor were just great. Typically 8 people is too much for an escape room, but it didn’t feel that way given the amount of group puzzles the room had. I also thoroughly enjoyed the scares. It was spooky but because of our larger group it wasn’t too bad. One of my top rooms for sure!!!
The Last SupperQuest TavernEscape roomIRLI love messing around with the actors. Our actor (Diego) was so fun! There were parts where he spooked our group but also made us laugh so hard. He was absolutely amazing!! The game itself was great. It flowed well, although in the first puzzle we got stuck for an unreasonably long time. After the first puzzle it was clear skies. Room was great, atmosphere was great, and workers were amazing!!
Lab RatHatch EscapesEscape roomIRLI wish I could heart this room because it’s so great, but I could only give it a thumbs up because of all the technical issues. I’ve played this room three times, and all three times SOMETHING happened. The first time we had to evacuate the room because the puzzle got locked (?) and we couldn’t open the door. The second time a similar issue occurred. Granted, we were reimbursed for it so the customer service was spectacular, but given the previous experiences, playing it a third time just took away some of the escape room magic which was a bummer. I really loved this room, if we didn’t experience all the issues then I would have loved it a lot more.
Project MinotaurQuest Room - HollywoodEscape roomIRLI thought that this room was very complicated in terms of set design. I was very impressed and very immersed! Maybe because my friends and I have done a lot of horror escape rooms, we didn’t find this room to be all that frightening. I think if we were newer escape roomees, we probably would’ve been scared shitless. I also think we finished the room quite fast, it’s supposed to be a two hour room, but we finished it in an hour and six minutes! I think based off of the actor’s script, it led us to complete the puzzles very quickly, also the fact that we weren’t as spooked. I still enjoyed this room very much and would recommend! If you want to be more spooked, maybe talk to the game master before the start of the room, I think because of the atmosphere of the room is already spooky, our actor was taking it easy on us and didn’t spook us as much.
Odditorium EmporiumEscapeX Rooms - Costa MesaEscape roomIRLSuch a shame that this room shut down! It was very unique in the sense that you aren’t escaping anything but rather racking up points by completing puzzles. I loved the theatricals and our little actor friend.
Irvine School Of Wizardry And The Dragon WandHidden DonkeyEscape roomIRLI loved this room! There were a lot of puzzles that had us scratching our heads but ended up figuring out without taking much time. I think the difficulty level of medium is true. There were certain intricacies about the room that I really enjoyed. The GM was very friendly as well. I recommend!
The Bridge BetweenQuest TavernEscape roomIRLI was speechless when I finished played this game. It was so MAGICAL! One of the most magical games I’ve ever done. I thoroughly enjoyed this game, the puzzles weren’t so bad and a lot of them didn’t require many hints. We got stuck on a couple but overall, puzzles were good. The atmosphere was A1. The last room was so interesting to be in and the colors made things extra magical! I loved how we were able to request cutie Milo to join our game, and the fact that he was a puzzle! He was so cute, and he was even helping us with the puzzles too! I HIGHLY recommend this room, you won’t regret it!!!
Dead & BreakfastTHE BASEMENT: A Live Escape Room Experience - SylmarEscape roomIRLA very unique experience. I’ve never seen or heard of an entire day event of escape rooms, but I’m glad I did because this experience was amazing! You get breaks in between the rooms with food so it was nice to sit and relax once you finish.
13th BasementExit Game OC - AnaheimEscape roomIRLThis was a great room! I didn’t think it was THAT scary but it did have spooky elements. My friends were definitely spooked and screaming. The GM gave us a lot of photo opportunities at the end which not many rooms do. The game itself was really fun! We got stuck on the last puzzle but that’s only because it seems none of us could pay attention 😅 I recommend!!
