In 1923, as the Hollywoodland sign was raised over the hills of Hollywood, the San Fernando Valley was introduced to the Von Wolfhaussen Manor, built hidden amongst the valley’s orange groves, to house and treat patients with various mental illnesses. Dr. Frederick Von Wolfhaussen, a pioneer of mental illness treatment techniques, founded and ran the manor until its closing in 1971. In 2012, Dr. Frederick Von Wolfhaussen, III, the grandson of the late founding father of the manor, reopened the institution’s doors. Through the correspondence of various governmental grants, Dr. Von Wolfhaussen, III resumed treating mentally ill patients with the implementation of the latest and most modern of therapies. Today, the institution has gained a reputation of having the highest cure rates of mental disorders in the world, and there are theories that Dr. Von Wolfhaussen, III, has implemented some questionable techniques in his treatment protocols. Through recent statistical success rates, the institution has become a topic of controversy and has caught the attention of the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). In cooperation with the FBI, the HHS has organized a group of handpicked individuals to examine and audit Dr. Von Wolfhaussen’s institutional practices & techniques. Respectively, this mission has been named Project: 5150.

Hypnotic’s rooms keep wowing me. They’re fun and well designed. And the people there are themselves real Escape Room fans who are eager to share their rooms with new people. 5150 had a great mixture of creepy atmosphere and tricky puzzles without relying on non-sequitors or cheap jump scares for effect.

Gameplay

I love the flow of the rooms here. Other rooms try to be more difficult by leaving random distractions or requiring you to make jumps of logic with no connection to the situation. Here everything flows from the story and premise.

Atmosphere

Nicely immersive

Customer service

Feels like visiting a friend who’s eager to show you their new toys

Particularly interesting or different

No

Well designed and well run, which can feel different after some lesser places

Story

The plot was key to solving the puzzles and all the puzzles grew from the story

Difficulty

Hard

It’s difficult for me to judge, I do so many Escape Rooms. Often rooms will be harder just because they’re poorly designed. I can see beginners struggling, but the GM is great a giving hints without solving puzzles

Clever gameplay and fun reveals! A different type of room. Starting in a seemingly empty padded cell, we progressed through the facility, and ended with quite the choice! A good puzzle room. Scares are honestly very light

This room was a moderately challenging space. It’s a cool and fun design. It was just me and one friend but we just barely made it through. I would recommend for people into escape rooms with a more science based theme. It was challenging but manageable. Also the staff were super friendly.

This room had some really good moments, especially the ending and a very unique early puzzle that I enjoyed, but ultimately, it was just a solid, middle-of-the-pack game for me. Nothing wrong with it, just not enough to give it a heart. Scott, our GM was great and we really enjoyed talking about the industry between games.

Such a fun room! Solid set design! The space is massive and I liked the way puzzles flowed from room to room. And I loved the fun ending! There were a couple unique elements I haven’t seen anywhere else.

I rate this escape experience a 3/5 (ck out my bio for rating system). I give each category 1 point. The set/theme was ok. Psych-type themes which are often set in some type of lab aren't my favorite. There's simply not much creativity to be had. That being said, the surprise element at the end really elevated it. Just not enough to compensate for the ho-hum of the rest of the room, including the puzzles. I enjoyed it enough but was still a pretty average escape.

There is a lot behind the store where it costs $4 cash only for all day parking that's convenient and great price.

This place puts a lot of thought and effort into emergency exits and safety, which is awesome.

The soundscape made one of the members of our party feel pretty anxious and it is a creepier experience than advertised, but I enjoyed the puzzles. Wish there were more to the room, there wasn’t a lot going on and we got out in 37 minutes which never makes me feel like we got a full room experience.
