Escobar: Part 1 (The Betrayal)

At first sight I loved this room, very immersive. But it didn't take long to start losing enthusiasm. We are an experienced group that typically do escape without any hints and in quick times. That was not the case with this room. Many of the puzzles just felt slightly beyond what you'd expect. There were elements that didn't work quite right that slowed things down. Our frustration turned into us asking for more hints than we'd like. When we finished the room we asked how many people co Plate the room without hints and were told we did way better than most! In my opinion, if everyone needs a lot of hints to complete a room, then it's bad game design, not bad players. If you go to this location, do Prison Break it's outstanding, but this particular room was not enjoyable.

Overall, it was a really fun room. The production value was fun and the puzzles were varied. Soph, our game master, was super kind and they didn’t give too many hints

Such a cool set design that transports you to a new city! There were a ton of cool puzzles that you won’t see anywhere else. Very clunky room with flow and I agree with others about the difficulty. It was challenging but doable with 2. Tons of out of box thinking and circling back to previous room. I’d probably recommend this for 3-4 ppl at least for how much detail there is. Loved the end!

This is the second room we’ve tried here, besides the Wrongfully Convicted one, so we already knew this place is very different from typical escape rooms. The puzzles are unique, but they don’t flow very well, and there were several moments when we had no idea what to do next. What really made the experience better was our GM (I forgot to get her name). She was attentive from start to finish and gave helpful hints that guided us along the way. Overall, it’s not a bad room if you’re looking for something a little different.

The puzzles and room didnt flow very well. Diagrams were obscure and certain clues felt a bit lazy and easy to miss. If part 2 is simular to part 1, I will probably skip it.

Probably the most disjointed and confusing check-in and room start experience I've ever had. We were thrown into a room within 15 seconds of meeting our game master with limited instruction, virtually zero story, and zero immersion. Our game master's gentle nudges during the game nudged me closer to crashing out and leaving the room halfway through. Our game master would have rather been anywhere in the WORLD than this place. I'm leaving out their name just in case tonight was a fluke. The room had absolutely no flow, with some aspects ranging from easy to downright impossible without assistance. When a room needs incredibly niche and tiny clues to be able to proceed, you might as well just get a hint as soon as you hit a metaphorical wall because it'll be forever before you can figure it out, if at all. You want to be in their weird leaderboard? Just show up with 2 people and excel simply because the points are weighted based on people/time/clues. Huge L

This was a HUGE escape room, multiple rooms. This escape room is on a more challenging side. Very creative set with different puzzles that I have not seen before.

So fun and immersive! On the more difficult side

Loved this room - it’s big … bigger than you think! Great gameplay and storytelling.

This was another highly rated escape room in LA, and even though it was pretty expensive for two people, we decided it would be worth it. And, we were kind of right. It's a very good room, but not good enough to warrant the extra price that they are asking. It's full of fun puzzles, and I would say that I do recommend it, even though it was not one of my top games in LA. If you are going to this location, play this game, and then do not think that "we'll have to play the second one to finish the story", because the second one is so much worse.
