You have 60 minutes to find what escobar needs, or your family will die. Can you save them? The year is 1993. You’re a mid-level Sicario working for Pablo Escobar in Medellin, Colombia. You receive news that Escobar is furious—one of his most trusted allies has betrayed him. In his rage, Escobar killed the informer, who happened to be the only one who knows where your boss’s money and fake passport are hidden. The DEA are on their way to the clandestine cocaine lab, and Escobar desperately needs his money and passport to flee the country, and he’s demanded that you find them. If Escobar doesn’t get these things before the DEA arrives, he’s sworn to murder your entire family in revenge. He’ll have no mercy on you, and neither will the DEA.

The room was very linear which isn’t my favorite as there were lots of moments where people couldn’t do much. The puzzles themselves were just okay. The set was really beautiful and atmosphere was great but there was no wow moments which I think is really important for a room to have. This may be somewhat unfair as we have done some great high tech rooms lately. However, we just did Stashhouse in Ktown recently which was a similar theme but much better done, even with that room having a similar level of tech (if not less than this room). There were a million red herrings that drove me crazy, one of my biggest pet peeves. Handwriting was unclear in multiple parts of the room. Ultimately, I don’t think this deserved a thumbs down, as we have done truly bad rooms that deserved a thumbs down, but I certainly am in no rush to recommend it to anyone. *There was a review by someone else that gave it a thumbs down and it says it contains spoilers, but it didn’t really, and I think he did a great job of hitting all the problems in this room. I’d recommend referencing that review as well when considering doing this room. **The aesthetic of the business itself was really fantastic. Between that and how awesome our game instructor was, I would consider trying a different room here in hopes it may be better.
Room was extremely linear which I personally dislike. Also tons of red herrings.
GM was very fun and friendly! Cannot say more positive things about them.

There are cool, unique elements in this room that you don't see elsewhere, but it doesn't flow very well. This room is also guilty of something that drives us nuts- triggered mechanisms that aren't evident. Because of the size of the space, I would recommend a group of four for extra sets of eyes.

This game would probably stand out if it were anywhere other than Los Angeles, but it didn’t feel terribly unique in such a saturated market. One puzzle toward the end was a smashing good time, but based on the other reviews, I was hoping for a game with a few more tricks up its sleeves.
There was no story, really, just a premise with an objective. Our GM was nice, but didn’t do anything to contribute to the immersion.

Make Pablo Proud 📁 Case No. 41: ESCOBAR The year is 1993. You’re working for Pablo Escobar in Medellin, Colombia when one of his most trusted allies betrays him. In his rage, Escobar takes out the informer who is the only one who knows where Escobar’s money and passport are hidden. The DEA are on their way. Can you find the items and escape? 🚨 Tip: Don’t be afraid to get your hands dirty. We barely escaped with our lives. It went down to the wire and I really mean DOWN. TO. THE. WIRE. ⏰ There were 0 seconds on the clock when we sent the final signal and escaped. This room stands apart from other escape rooms but you’ll have to play for yourself to find out why! The Escape Revolution just announced that they’re creating a new room which is a continuation of Escobar titled Chapter 2. Our crew will be reassembling to try and escape again. We booked this room originally for two with a promo code. I had a friend want to play last minute and they paid on the spot but were overcharged. We didn’t figure it out until we left. We called back and after some back and forth, they refunded us. If you book during the day and not on peak times, it costs less. If you look for the like green or pink times on their website, those are the lower prices/discounted times. They have a small lot for parking in the back of their building but we had to call for them to remove the chain that was blocking people from just driving up and parking there.

This room made you feel like you walked into a small town. You can never go wrong with the set design with this company. We took family with us to this room and they were amazed by the set design. Can't wait to see if more rooms are made
It worked well as long as you paid attention to all the details
It was very immersive. The props were so much fun to explore. Some of the puzzle activations I have never seen before
Lila is a fantastic GM. We are always encouraged to follow our instincts when we feel frustrated
