This was a fun room! Storyline was pleasantly amusing. The set and puzzles were nicely immersed in the theme There was some tech, but it feels like a bit of an older room. Not necessarily a bad thing, just a note. We (2 experienced players) took 23 minutes to complete the main objective. We took a total of 49 minutes (11 remaining) to also complete the adaptive/bonus puzzles. The main objective had relatively easy puzzles. The bonus ones clearly took us a bit more time and thinking even though there are only 3. I appreciated them even though I stumbled way too slowly over them, as it makes paying for the room more worth it than finishing in only 23 minutes Fern was our GM both times at this location, and she's great!

We are happy to hear that you enjoyed Grandma's Surprise. It is certainly our most beginer friendly rooms, but we make sure to have those adaptive puzzles in there for groups like yours that are a bit more skilled. If you are looking for more of a challenge, I recommend checking out our Operation: X-13 at our San Dimas location.

I rate this escape experience a 3/5 (ck out my bio for rating system). Set/theme was immersive and fun! This gets 1 point. There were a pretty wide variety of puzzles. It was a relatively non-linear and easy-ish room so our group of three finished pretty quickly. The GM recognized this and added a few supplemental puzzles which were also pretty simple but flowed well with the theme. I give puzzles 1 point. Enjoyment was also 1 point. It was a solid room that I liked enough.

This was a super cute room and loads of fun, but I must say the best part was how fantastic the staff was. Everyone was so friendly and our GM was so much fun. This was our third Trapped! location and the staff at each one has been totally stellar. This room is nice and spacious and just all around good fun. Totally recommend

This room reminds me of β€œWhatever Happened to the Garrett’s” - same aha moment of what has grandma been up to? Nonlinear in flow for some moments so folks can start to work on different puzzles but there were also puzzles that needed to be complete to activate the next thing. So there is that flow going from nonlinear to linear. We finished a little bit earlier than expected and something I’ve come to love about Trapped! is that they will have additional puzzles for you to do if you finish the main story line with time to spare. There was a dexterity puzzle that made me laugh and another puzzle that feels all too familiar if you’ve ever been a caregiver. Overall, the storyline got wonky on me but the puzzles were generally solid. This was a good time and it gets better the more rooms open up!

In all honestly enjoyed this room more than I expected. Puzzles were cool, only one that I can recall was really confusing. Really just feel like initial room was pretty boring but it do be Grandma's house so fits the theme?

Gameplay

This room was funnier than it should've been. Like seriously I think I laughed the most in the room, and a lot of those moments connected to puzzles so pretty cool.

Atmosphere

Felt the intial room was a bit boring.

Customer service

GM was awesome, you can tell the people here love what they do

It definitely had a fun surprise! Great theming inside and good combination of puzzles. There was one dexterity puzzle I wasn't a huge fan of, but it was cute and thematic enough to get a pass. This room also had extra puzzles to expand your experience if you finish fast. Our GM Rose was also good, and did a good balance of letting me (the adult) do some things, while helping along my son so he could do some puzzles himself. The 4 year old did nothing obviously, but enjoyed the room, especially near the end. There were some flashing lights but nothing scary.
