I have such a soft spot for things that are atmospheric and spooky instead of full blown horror. This one nails that. Loved it.

A brand new waking nightmare presented by The Basement: A Live Escape Room Experience, Dead & Breakfast is a private escape adventure designed to test you in ways you never thought possible! You and your friends have been kidnapped by Edward Tandy -- a cannibalistic serial killer with a hunger for taxidermy, strange mechanisms, and of course human flesh. He has created a twisted game in his deceased mother's home, designed to weed out those who are unworthy of escaping with their lives. Beginning at 10am, Mondays-Thursdays only, guests are invited into the Tandy household for a day they’ll never forget. Featuring ALL FOUR of our escape room experiences: play them back-to-back in a private, VIP setting. Ever felt like you needed MORE TIME during your game? During Dead & Breakfast, you and your team will play until you complete each experience!

As a birthday party of 4, this was an awesome experience. Back to back story was really fun. The GMs were really cool and nice and made our experience rad. We were the only ones there and no matter how quick we finished a room we were only given a few minutes in between, which was confusing to me because we were supposed to have 90 minutes for each room (way too much, I think the whole place could make all their rooms 1 hour and give way fewer hints) and got out in the usual 45 minutes as they gave us hints all the time a whole lot. If you’re in it for story, this was great. If you’re in it to solve puzzles and feel smart and see amazing novel ideas or tech, this might not be for you. I loved it for my birthday party although none of the rooms were amazing stand outs.

Such an elaborate and immersive experience. The money they spent on these rooms make the cost so worth it.
Such an awesome experience. Just go!

By far the best way to live this 4 chapter experience. The light continental breakfast/snacks of Danishes, fresh fruit platter, sodas and water was a delightful way to save money with a bulk rate discount. Definitely did not feel rushed and they give you time to set your own pace between rooms. My group was on a tight schedule for the day (as we were doing several companies that day) and going at our own pace with smaller breaks in between made our time more flexible.

Chapter 2 and 4 requires you to crawl and/or be on your back while using upper body strength!
mobility issues like wheelchairs may be a problem with some rooms.

Wish they had a little more signage on where to turn off as it may be hard to miss the driveway that is shared with an Adult store on a very fast pace, busy street. We had missed the driveway and had to make a u-turn to try again.

Highly recommend this experience as the rooms all tie together to form a story. This experience gives you a better amount of time to complete each room, gives you breaks, as well as provides breakfast/snacks and drinks. My group loved this experience. We’re not great with horror but we fully enjoyed this experience. This room is definitely one for the books!

This was the most immersive experience I’ve had. The live actors, props, and puzzles tied together very well. Some puzzles were different from other rooms I’ve done.

Excellent live actors who stayed in character the whole time and made the experience feel real.

There are some parts that will require one person to crawl or do a small physical activity.
That’s part of the puzzle 😏

I thought, since there was a live actor, that this will be a scary escape room. 😅 I was wrong. It was spooky, but NOT scary. The puzzles were challenging, but not too bad. I was on the edge the entire time because I hate jumpscares and I was just bracing myself. 😆 Overall, amongst the 3 that we've done at Dead & Breakfast, this one was the best.

Great Experience, able to get through all the rooms in a few hours. Actors in all rooms but one. Most of the rooms have good production value & are different from one another.
All the games had a good flow & story line to them
Good movements , props, with some special effects in the rooms
All the GM were great
The story flows across all four rooms

Four rooms all with great gameplay, amazing atmosphere, live actors and unique mechanics! Maybe the best rooms in SoCal? Awesome integration of actors into the puzzles as well.
