Route 51

My fave of the three I did here. (Also did asylum and morning after). 51 is just fun. Reccomend 3+ players. We did it with 2 but there was one part that was pretty tough

PanIQ has two unique rooms in this location: Route 51 and Superhero Origins. For this room specifically, I found the interpretation of the supernatural to be refreshing. However, like some folks were sharing with their reviews, this room needs a little love from the wear and tear. The buttons for some of the puzzles needed a harder push to respond, and this could get frustrating with a time-sensitive reset. Overall though, the puzzles themselves were the right amount of difficulty and I liked the diversity of puzzles too. There were tactile puzzles, sound puzzles, and puzzles that required observation and teamwork. I would recommend bringing at least three people to this room. Parking in West Hollywood could be tricky so come early and check out the bar and lounge area that they have also!

Great concept/ location. Puzzles were well designed. However, due to wear and tear several controls/ inputs used for the puzzles were less than responsive when we visited. These puzzles also happened to be timing critical. So that added significant frustrations and time delays.

It was fine. One puzzle was nearly impossible for two people. Recommend minimum of three. Another important puzzle has a timing issue too. Story wasn’t very immersive, felt like I was “doing an escape room.”

Route 51’s concept is wonderful. I’ve really enjoyed rooms where the aliens have come down to earth. Conversely, space rooms become kind of samey over time; rooms like this one have a lot more personality to them. Men In Suits at Maze Rooms has the same kind of atmosphere but the puzzles here stand out more. I like the mix of physical tasks and mental/precision-based ones. The only true downside is the overuse of AI imagery through the room — but the creativity of the puzzles makes up for it.

We are blown away 🤯 We just finished the room Route 51 🛸👽 Absolutely amazing 🤩 This location is on another level. Starting off with the most wonderful staff Ben and Sky. I could sit and talk with them all day. You’re gonna want to play here. Great for new and experienced player. Ben was nice enough to show us the Quiz and Karaoke rooms. Can’t wait to bring my friends. Thank you so much for the great time. Definitely will see you again.

We had a lot of fun, the production value of the room was great! The lobby is absolutely beautiful and would deffinetly recommend taking some time to enjoy it. The room itself was more on the beginner to intermediate difficulty, but there were still a few more involved puzzles for escape room veterans looking to try this one out.

Our family did Route 51 and we had such an amazing time! The room was super immersive, fun, and just the right mix of challenge and excitement. The whole family was completely into it, and we all worked together as a team. The staff was so kind and welcoming, and the whole place was clean, organized, and full of cool extras like a bar, arcade, and shooting gallery. If you're looking for cool escape games in Los Angeles, this one really stands out. Definitely one of the best escape rooms in LA. We can’t wait to come back and try the other rooms!

This was a fun room! It’s probably best for teens and kids. I liked the third room the most. There is one sound puzzle that almost stumped me but I appreciate all the tech integrations and feel of a gas station road-trip stop. It took me back to my childhood sans aliens.
