DUUUUUDE! The surf at the pier is looking epic out there. But I got grounded. I mean I could sneak out and find my board, right? It's not like I could get anymore grounded... My parents will be at their pilates class for an hour; that's enough time to find my board.

This room really made a splash in the OC scene! Our experience was a tidal wave of fun and clever puzzles. Ben and Katie, the escape room owners, should win an award for how fantastic this room was. Storyline is hilarious. Puzzles actually made me learn about surfing culture and there is something different for everyone to work on. Itโ€™s refreshing to have such a creative idea as this. A respectful homage to surfing that also has top-of-the-line production value in such a small place, Surfโ€™s Up is totally rad and is a must play!

This room was totally RAD DUDE!! The waves were gnarly and the puzzle surfing was sweet. Fantastic room with some fun surprises. I felt that me and my girl were cruising in the beginning, feeling great, but eventually got stuck on a puzzle that required a few nudges from the GM who was kind enough to help us. I am never above asking for help and the puzzle is pretty tough. Overall an excellent room and worth a drive to Huntington Beach

Yeah, dude! ๐Ÿค™ Surf was definitely up when we played this room! A refreshingly beachy take on an escape with a surfboard to boot, whatโ€™s not to like? Even mix of puzzle modalities, multilayered puzzles and an ocean aesthetic. Fun cinematic moments, clever reveals and teamwork puzzles that were fun to solve. An easy recommendation and a great addition to the scene. A unique game that celebrates the spirit of Huntington Beach perfectly. Ben was a great owner and host, and we canโ€™t wait to return for their next games!

An absolutely must-play experience! GM Joseph along with owners Ben and Katie outdid themselves. Josephโ€™s introduction to the game was hilarious and combined with the immaculate set design we were instantly immersed in the room. This is an homage to surfing, with multiple puzzles that reward those with surfing knowledge. The cool part, is that is absolutely not necessary to have any prior knowledge of surfing to succeed or have fun in this room; thereโ€™s a ton of mechanisms around the room that give you the information that you need to know. The puzzles were varied and felt super satisfying to solve. Please do yourself a favor and play this room!

Are you ready to make some Waves? Because this room was absolutely GNARLY! Everything about this escape room was beautifully crafted with its creative puzzles, magical reveals, immersive storytelling, and sense of humor, while all staying true to the spirit of surfing. From beginning to end, we truly enjoyed learning about the sport while also creating memories through interactive game play, thoughtful transitions, and realistic props. You can tell that a lot of love, effort, and passion went into this room, and Iโ€™m truly looking forward to returning to play their other rooms here. It will Shore-ly pull you into the Tide, wanting more. Catch the next Wave and go play Surfโ€™s Up!!

Everything flowed really smoothly, and the gameplay was entertaining! Overall a fun, interactive escape room with creative puzzles and thoughtful transitions from one puzzle to another. There were no red herrings, and every physical and visual clues were pertinent to the storytelling and gameplay. It was very satisfying to solve each puzzle and felt rewarding. Kept us wanting to solve more puzzles!

Atmosphere

I cannot say enough about this room! I truly enjoyed how immersive and realistic this room felt through its set design, background music, use of lighting, and thoughtful transitions. I really felt like I was a teenager who was passionate enough to sneak out of the house to go surfing! LOL!

Customer service

We had the pleasure of meeting one of the owners, Ben, and he was phenomenal! From the moment your game begins to the end, he was very personable, humorous, and passionate. We also enjoyed talking with him afterwards regarding Surfโ€™s Up and Surf City Escapes itself. Heโ€™s very passionate about what he does and it makes the room itself even more enjoyable.

Live actors

Yes

There were some initial interactions to begin your story, but no live actors within the room itself.
