Special Ops: Mysterious Market

Our first escape room in LA and we were not disappointed! The atmosphere was amazing across a range of different styles and the immersion element was excellent with a great setting and use of audios. The puzzles were great and the setting was used to amplify this further. I liked the optional merchandise, nice touch! They also offer online rooms at a very reasonable price to purchase.

I’d done two other Escape Game rooms before this one and I was only wary because the two others were amazing. There’s gotta be a weak link, right? Perhaps there is but it’s not this one! Once in the room you’re in an Indian/Middle Eastern-inspired market which is a setting you don’t often see explored in escape rooms. From then on the plot thickens and the puzzles get more high tech. With an abundance of things to solve and pieces to find and work with, the entire experience is a joy to complete. Each set piece used feels great to understand and scratches the mystery part of your brain.

Really loved the flow and ambiance of this room and experience. I was surprised at how we actually were guided through the space and thought the puzzles were great for our team of 4. It might be difficult for absolute beginners but everything about the room just felt right and made for a really fun experience.

The storyline of infiltrating a high-tech laboratory to prevent a catastrophic event from happening is a thrilling experience from start to finish. The room felt like a top-secret intelligence agency headquarters, complete with hidden compartments, maps, and codes. The puzzles in this room are next-level in terms of technology. They had interactive digital displays and puzzles that require a little bit more complexity. The immersive environment instantly made me feel like a real agent on a mission, which added a palpable layer of excitment. With the Escape Game, we were put together in the room with complete strangers, but we managed to establish communication right away. We had a group of four, and that worked well for us. Some of the puzzles were quite challenging, which made the escape room more suitable for experienced players.

We did this as part of a free promotion that the Escape Game had when it was just soft launching. But I like the Escape Game as they have a good standard and Game Masters that seem to be genuinely interested in escape rooms and are very welcoming. This room is my favorite out of the Escape Game rooms here in So-Cal because of its set design and immersion. I felt like I was truly in a mysterious market and had to save the world. We lost some time because we came in late, but were still able to solve the room! Would highly recommend for first-timers and experienced folks alike. I think a smaller group of 2-4 would be perfect for this room.

Casey and Callen were awesome! The room was super detailed and really fun! We got stuck on ONE puzzle that we totally over analyzed but we got out!

Great Theme, good flow, linear design the last part it was little more complicated! But overall was great new room. They were so sweet they wrote me a card for my birthday and decorated the room!

I loved this room. Four was the perfect number of players. Great production value, very fun and somewhat innovative puzzles. A few high tech gadgets too!

Loved this room. This is a high tech room with fantastic production design. Everything worked really well, the space is well lit, and the puzzles were very fun.

Overall a really fun game. I can’t imagine 8 people being allowed to do this at one time - especially if you don’t know the other people. The room is just not big enough. It seems to be a reoccurring theme with this location. This room can hold a maximum of 6 people. Puzzle wise, no more than maybe even 5. Haven’t done all the rooms at this location, but it seems that most of their rooms can only hold about 6 people max. Not worth the money if you get put with other people or have to book the private room. The cost does not balance out the amount of gameplay. Otherwise a fun room and would recommend.
