Zodiac Serial Killer

Zodiac Killer – Based on the real-life story of the notorious zodiac killer, you have to try to solve the mystery before you become its next victim. We have reviewed Room Escape Live before and we definitely recommend it. They presently have six games and in our experience they are all great fun to play. This review is specifically for the rooms Zodiac Killer and Zombie Lab. Pros: Both rooms are meticulously designed and created to reflect the theme and storyline. The high quality props and solid construction of the rooms is what we have come to expect from Room Escape Live and they definitely did not disappoint in both these rooms. The puzzles are always logical and aligned wit the theme. The game masters are professional, attentive and ready to help at a moment’s notice. This is a thoroughly professional establishment in every respect. Cons: The puzzles are complex. We need lots of hints every time we come to Room Escape Live. That is not always a problem. We have no ego issues in asking for hints, but we do like good game flow without interruptions. A few more guideposts to help players through the process could eliminate the frequent need for hints. We found ourselves at a complete loss on some of the puzzles, especially in zodiac killer. Since that does not usually happen to us, and we assume that beginners would really struggle, we suggest that they just offer a few more signals in the room to help guide players to the solutions. You really cannot go wrong playing at Room Escape Live. So just do it. You know you want to. ​losangeles.roomescapelive.com

Eh. One portion of the game involved a lot of identifying key details from readings. That’s a snore and a chore for me. I didn’t do that particular puzzle. The room was interesting, but the flow didn’t seem right to me. Maybe it was an off day for us. Love you fox in a box.

This was one of my first escape rooms ever and was actually what got me hooked. Zodiac Serial Killer was one of the craziest rooms I’ve played. I won’t go into detail (even though the room is closed now) but starting off chained in a dark room and not being able to move was absolutely terrifying and SO much fun! With 4 people, we managed to get out of our chains, solve the room’s puzzles, and get out in time. Sadly there was one technical difficulty which forced us to get out of the room and then go back in, but it didn’t take away from the fact that this room was spectacular. I wish I could play it for the first time again. We miss you Fox in a Box!

This was such a fun room. Loved the puzzles and the twists in the game. Wish this location still existed but happy this room lives on in OC!
