So you finally made it out of the house... but was it a better idea to stay indoors? After escaping The Study, and running downstairs, you find yourself in the mudroom of the Tandy home. One more door stands between you and your freedom, right? Wrong. Once outside, you find yourself in Edward's cold and dark courtyard surrounded by a 14-foot tall wooden fence. Edward's daughter Lilly once resided in the trailer in the Courtyard, but she's long gone. Painfully, she was forced to leave someone she loved behind. Will you be able to save Lilly's lover Quinn, or will the officer perish while you try and escape? The Courtyard is by far our most ambitious room to date. Like, Chapter 1: The Basement, The Courtyard is a non-linear funnel puzzle with multiple paths that must be traversed by different members of the group.

An absolutely fantastic finale for The Basement. A wildly immersive (and pretty big!) set hiding less in terms of surprises but a lot more in terms of content. One of my favorite parts was how they made the story be a bit more in the forefront; the actor plays into this well. Definitely one of the harder and more involved puzzle, two is probably not enough for this one.

The Basement outdid themselves with this room! You really feel that you're outdoors! Fun puzzles and the whole group of 4 stayed busy! Only downside is this is the last of the chapters!

The best set design I think out of all 3 rooms weβve done and the actor did a phenomenal job. Really felt like we were at the precipice of escaping the final room of the basement. Not as great puzzles as the study, but the technology used felt more intricate.

This room was really disappointing and so lack lustre. This is supposed to be considered the BEST escape room in LA but unfortunately it did not live up to the hype. Iβm fairly sure the reviews have to be fake because there is no way this βescape roomβ if you can even call it that is legit. Donβt get me wrong the set is amazing but the game itself SUCKS. In every room the puzzles are very basic, and you only have 45 min to get through these rooms (and NO HINTS) which is not enough time for even fast players. Also thereβs really only 2 rooms and a trailer on the set as the βthird roomβ. The LIVE actor takes up quite a lot of time talking instead of getting to the point. We just felt so sad leaving having drove quite far to 1. Not even escape and 2. Have such a disappointing experience. The staff also ask you to tip as youβre leaving which makes the experience incredibly awkward. I would not recommend going here. Youβre better off booking a room with maze rooms or quest rooms. This whole place just feels like a scam to take your money and give you a lack lustre escape room under the guise of being βthe best escape room in LAβ

All the chapters were so much fun, so scary, so stimulating, and so realistic.

Very immersive, I love the twists and turns of this game. It was a little small, when we escaped I thought there was more to it. Quinn was great, sorry again.

This was for sure fun, but definitely tough. In my opinion, having more than 2 ppl would make this more fun and flow better. The production is very very high, as with all the other basement rooms.

This may be an unpopular opinion based on the people who Iβve chatted with about this room, but this is my favorite room at The Basement! The Courtyard may be one of the most immersive escape rooms Iβve played thus far. The set was so well done and the perfect amount of eerie, it was very suspenseful, and the puzzles were the perfect difficulty for my group. I would recommend coming with 4 players or so because my party of 2 found ourselves running back and forth a lot π Finally, my favorite part of the room would have to be our actor! They were incredible and elevated the room to the next level. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a dose of creepiness. The Courtyard lives rent free in my brain.
