Dracula

Alice in Wonderland: Alice is on trial for crimes she didn't commit. We had to rush in and find the evidence to prevent an unfair conviction. Jumanji: Sucked into the game world of Jumanji, we had to find a way to survive and return to reality. Dracula: Vampires beware, the slayers have arrived. We practiced our best Buffy, Xander, and Willow impressions, and prepared to vanquish some revenants. Pros: We can definitely confirm that after playing three games at their Melrose location, 60Out lives up to its reputation as the best of the best in Southern California. First, we'd like to thank our gamemasters, Leslie and Noah, who were consistently enthusiastic and helpful through every game. Our experience was that much better thanks to them. Second, we'd like to thank 60 out for their private room policy. We truly appreciate playing by ourselves (no random strangers). This appears to be an increasingly rare practice and we definitely appreciate it so much more now. As we have come to expect from 60Out, the set design in all the rooms (especially Jumanji) was totally immersive. From the dark cemetery of Dracula to the jungles of Jumanji, we found ourselves completely engrossed in the storylines. Our favorite, with regard to puzzles, was Alice in Wonderland. Although we felt like the Mad Hatter at times scratching our head in an effort to deduce the meaning of each hint we uncovered, we found the odd challenges exceptionally satisfying. Jumanji was hands down awesome. From set-design to storyline to puzzles, this is a must-do experience. Seriously, get over there and play it now! Cons: Fingers-crossed that the tech holds-up after multiple players. These games our top-notch but we worry about their ability to handle the wear and tear of time. We struggled quite a bit on the puzzles in the Dracula game and felt that they could be slightly modified to improve the player experience. We failed to finish with about 60% of the game left to solve. This definitely lowered our success rate. We are chalking this one up to complicated puzzles. We enjoyed it nevertheless and definitely recommend you play Dracula. Bring a group of 4-6 though. The more brains the better in defeating the tricky revenants. We cannot offer enough praise to 60Out. Seriously they just keep rockin' it!

Had a little technical difficulty at the beginning that set us back quite a bit, but our Game Master was gracious enough to add some time back to make up for it. This was when it was brand new, so that kink may have been worked out by now!

Too dark lol. Puzzles were interesting though. But holding the lantern button the entire time gets old.

This room was a doozy. Much of the tech didn’t work as intended, which was frustrating. Some of the clues very clearly said something that was different than what was needed. And you’re just stumbling around in the dark for an hour. The puzzles were so complicated that we needed a clue on pretty much every single one, and we’ve all successfully completed over 50 escape rooms. I would not recommend this room to anyone. But we did the Ghost Ship at this same location, and that one was much better!

It wasn’t great. We’re very experienced escapers and we needed hints for every puzzle. Not a fan of that sort of room.

This was the worst Escape Room I've every done out of 37. The light in the first room didn't work and the game master told us to use our flashlights (after 30 minutes of nothing working), which didn't work either on what it was supposed to, so we spent most of the time in first room. You also needed to read, which we couldn't until we started using our flashlights. Way too dark in that room to be expected to read things. Terrible. I would not recommend this to anyone. We didn't escape b/c the room was basically broken and we've escaped much harder rooms and EVERY room within the past 7 years (34 of them). This is the lone failure due to the game being broken and I'm still bitter. I'll also add that some of the logic was quite a leap and the game just didn't flow as every other escape room I've tried.

my friends and I just recently started doing escape rooms, and we really enjoy them. our favorite genre is horror so we wanted to do one that was scary. we were told this was the second scariest room. although we all disagree about the scary part, it definitely was very cool and the rooms were beautifully decorated. 10/10 recommend for groups who wants a challenge. 5/10 for scary level.

This was my least favorite room of all time. To be fair, the experience was majorly tanked by our gamemaster who gave constant unsolicited hints. The reading is cumbersome, and they had apparently lost the (required) flashlights and made us use our own cellphone lights, aka our “holy lights”. The room looked cool, the concept is fun, but it really needs a refresh.

Good room. Puzzles were good. Some technical difficulties during the game.
