Just after the cyclone three weeks ago, the priceless Askar relic went missing from a dig site in the Bujang Valley in Malaysia. It’s been assumed to have been stolen by the deranged anthropologist Dr. Vanderwolfe, who went missing around the same time. No progress has been made on recovering the relic, except that several cryptic items were found in Dr. Vanderwolfe’s study. Malaysia’s National Museum invited Intrepid to put together a team to decipher the clues in Dr. Vanderwolfe’s study and search for any further clues. Trans-oceanic passage on the club’s private train car is included. Can you solve this baffling mystery?

Better than I expected! I actually enjoyed the puzzles and flow in this room. With some logic puzzles and one that we needed a little hint on that made us have the "ooooh" moment. Overall the room needed to be a longer, once we got into it, the room was pretty quickly solved. Still enjoyed the room, would suggest a larger grand finale!
Loved our GM, but they had someone, who I think was new, greet us. And she was a little rude in answering our question about if we can extend the "gift card" we paid for. We committed to 4 people at the discounted rate of 20% off during an earlier visit, which got us the gift card. But we were able to find another person to add on that day, so we wanted to see if we can apply that discount to that person, since other escape rooms usually understand and will happily do so. And while I didn't mind if this company didn't offer it. After I explained myself, she proceeded to scoff a little and say something along the lines of "no... this gift card is for 4 people, so since you have 5 people, you'll need to pay full price for the other person". Obviously I'm a little annoyed by her tone, which is why I wrote all this, but I expected a simple answer without the attitude.

There is one puzzle in this room also referred to in the other reviews that made us go “aha” that I will remember forever! Overall, expect good design and medium difficulty. I would recommend four people and parking is pretty easy as well. I would also look out for a series of buildings because this location is in the business area of Tustin. At this point, I’ve done all three of the rooms now, and I think that Lost Relic has more outside-the-box thinking puzzles than the Haunted Terminal. I personally enjoy a more puzzle heavy game! If you could only do one room in this location though, it has to be Jewel of the Sea. As for the service, we were not received with the warmest of welcomes and it felt like one of the game masters (not the one who helped us with our room) just wanted to get us out of there as soon as possible. She was rude to us when we were asking to add a fifth person to our room and talked to us in a condescending tone. I’m glad this was my last room at this location because I would not come back. I would not hold that against the room itself though!

The details in these rooms are so great. Liked how it started with a head scratcher. Jordan once again was an awesome GM. We will be back for the last room shortly!

We went on Halloween, and it was a lot of fun being in costume while trying to retrieve the Stolen Relic! The puzzles and game play were linear, so be aware that you have to solve the puzzles in a specific order. Our Game Master was very attentive and had a great sense of humor when we got stuck and needed assistance. We had 4 players and felt that it was a sufficient amount of people for this kind of escape room.

The puzzles was somewhat finicky in a sense that it was broken but overall the puzzle itself was great. Hard

Puzzles were intricate and complex, yet eventually solvable. Loved the little details inside of the room. I genuinely enjoyed this escape room, which made me want to try the other rooms at Intrepid Escape Rooms!

Elisa ran this room for us and was very nice. She was definitely helpful with the hints throughout the game. Definitely enjoyed this game. If you like Indiana Jones vibes, this is for you.

Between Terminal and Relic, I think this is the better game. But if you only had time for one at this location, make it Jewel! Overall a solid game, but can be found elsewhere. Worth a play if you happen to be in the area though 🙂
Hi Ryan! Thank you so much for the wonderful review! Thank you as well traveling with us three times! If you're looking to travel with us again, our adventure in New York that you visited before recently became overrun with silly ghosts! We'd love your help dealing with them! These ghosts aren't the trickiest, but they are completely new to the station! Hope to see you soon, explorer!

6.5/10 There are two sides to every coin, and like a coin, this room has two sides to it. One side is an okay escape room experience. Not great but not the worst you’ve seen. The other side is imaginative, fun, and making you ask for more. Unfortunately, the later is not the side of the coin you commonly see. This is the Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull of the franchise. Enjoyable, dated, worth it if you are nearby in the area.

Intrepid escape is a great place to do escape rooms. They are very good with their details in the room, we took about 10 min before we figured out the first clue but once we did everything started to flow very quickly. Needed only 1 clue and after getting it we were like well that totally makes sense not sure why we didn’t think of that. Highly recommend doing this room however the best room at intrepid is jewel of the sea. This room would be their second best and medium difficulty.
Hello Nick! Thank you so much for this glowing review! Thank you as well for traveling with us again! We really appreciate your help recovering the missing relic! We hope to see you again for future adventures!
