Playground

LOVE this game. So many puzzles, such a fantastic payoff at the end- no notes. so much fun. We played with 6 people, I would say that’s the max you should play with so that everyone still gets the full effect. An experienced group of 4 could do this too!

Okay...so, Playground. Here's the deal with this, TEG advertises this game as being for twelve people; it's not. It is touted as TEG's easiest game, which is true....kinda. The game is built on busy work, so the way they designed the game for "large groups" is that it consists of a million different little things to do, as well as some stuff that just takes way longer than it needs too, so your group will finish all of the little stuff within a couple minutes and then just stand there and stare at the one person doing the really long thing until they finish and you can move to the next part. So the game has this really weird balancing issue where having a large group still ends up with a bunch of people standing around with nothing to do, while a small group means the game becomes nigh impossible because theres way too much shit to do. The puzzle design goes from average to poor, again with some just requiring way too much time. The game is designed around spectical, so the poor puzzle design is hidden behind the couple of "wow" moments with the special effects, hoping that those are the moments your remember, and not the 20 minutes you spent digging through books to try amd complete a crossword puzzle. This is probably fine for first time and casually escape room players and they are not as particular about puzzle design or story telling, and they just want to see something cool or interesting, which i guess this game will give them just that at certain points. It's cute, and works if your kid wants to have his birthday at an escape room, but if you're walking into TEG, there are four other, significantly better options that you can choose from rather than this.

Absolutely love this room. I went there with my bf, and we were so busy running around(I was sweating lol). I recommend bringing more than 2 people, lol. There were so many interesting elements, and everything was adorable. Both kids and adults will enjoy it! It's not very linear, so everyone can work on something different. The Escape Game is really good at hiding pieces here and there, lol.

Very fun, family-friendly room. The room is not private, so there were two players with our group, but they were a great addition.

A great room to do with family and friends

An absolute blast, so much fun, despite a few frustrating and broken puzzles. We did the room with 3 people and, despite us all being seasoned enthusiasts, that was probably one less than needed to really do the room well - because we failed! A few things were broken in the room (see below). There were 2 or 3 puzzles that gave us that "oh, come on!" type of response (I'm looking at you, "Art" Puzzle). A couple red herrings. A couple non-sensical connections that could be dramatically improved with some simple design tweaks. The intro video for this room is maybe the best we've ever seen. The story setup is AMAZING, although it seems like the plot got lost for the rest of the room. Flaws aside, this room was still an absolute blast. One of the more fun rooms I've done. Hilarious kid-like fun.

Fun interactive escape for kids. Lots of puzzles. We had a large group and surprisingly wasn’t as crowded as I thought it would be.

Cute room, theming is wonderful, games were logical and flowed well.

Hands down my favorite room in the escape game! I want to do this room again so bad! I’ve officially done all of them in Rancho & Irvine and this is the best! Do it! It’s a bit hard with 2 people, more people would probably be a bit better. I was literally sweating doing this room

We loved this room, my personal favorite of this company’s rooms, if the 6 we have done here in Cali! Super fun, great beginner room!
