Older game, not a high production value but still fun if you are new to escape rooms. Some of the puzzles are rather easy to figure out with one needing to be upgraded.

This is one of the first rooms the company created, and many items in the room were very worn / breaking off. Many puzzles we "solved" has no reaction, and we were only told in the room that you have to hold items down for X seconds, or move things after a sequence (with no visual indication that a sequence was complete). We would have liked this room better if it receives some TLC and mechanism updates.

It was fun Treasure hunt type of game. It had some difficult puzzles due to vision issues but otherwise it was very fun. Our GM Grace was very helpful when we got flustered.

Out of 50+ rooms so far, this one has the most technical issues we’ve encountered. Two separate technical issues caused staff to intervene and come into a room. A third technical issue involved us trying the puzzle solution for several minutes before operating correctly. Most of the time was spent waiting for puzzles to operate correctly, rather than actually solving or thinking. The ending had the only “challenging” puzzle, which was honestly just nonsensical and poorly designed. Not the worst room we’ve done, but in the bottom 10%. Even if this room had operated properly, this would probably still be the case. 2.5/10 overall would not recommend to any new or advanced players.

Just doesn’t real well tbh… some tasks took way longer than they should have while others were very simple. It wasn’t that this isn’t easy, cuz it’s pretty straight forward, for some reason your mind is perplexed when trying to think what comes next… the tasks just don’t flow.

The mechanisms in this room and the west LA Maze Rooms (same owner) are so cool and original

A very cohesive room that had some puzzles that stumped us a little, but we had a great time doing everything! I went with people who dont usually do escape rooms so that made it a tad difficult, but we still got out. I'd recommend for how kind our gm was and the fun theme!

Another solid room by Maze Rooms. Dragon’s Lair is probably the most classic Maze Rooms room at this location specifically. The puzzles and flow of the room feel very at home with their brand of game. Me and my friend got through it relatively easily, with few things slipping us up, and not because we’re good but because nothing was impossibly hard - no leaps in logic were made to get from puzzle to puzzle. And though the story wasn’t too important in the end, the atmosphere within the room made the experience worth it.

This set design is really quite impressive, very up to par with most maze room sets. However, the gameplay could be tweaked a bit seemed a tad outdated. I enjoyed the room (my partner not so much). The last puzzle didn’t really make sense with the overall theme of the room and the ending was somewhat lack lustre. This room definitely has potential to be better. I’d give it a solid 6/10. Maybe 6.5 or 7 if I’m feeling generous. Our GM was amazing! She was so sweet!
