Escobar: Part 1 (The Betrayal)

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.

OUTSTANDING. TOP 5 BEST I’VE DONE. Lots of walking back and forth to accomplish puzzles but it’s a short walk. I personally wouldn’t recommend the Escobar: Part 2.

This room was fun! There was one puzzle that I’ve never seen in a room before. Highly recommend if you’re in the area.

Enjoyed the room! Great atmosphere and interesting puzzles. Definitely on the harder side as it isn’t very clear what to do with some of the things that you are finding/what you find doesn’t get used until later so make sure you remember! The GM was very helpful!
