Living in Los Angeles can be considered an entitlement and an honor. To those captivated with “star-struck” eyes striving for equivalency with Hollywood’s elite, the city of angels offers a variety of opportunities to reach for the stars and flourish. As time took it’s toll, the city began to alter her character. The rising gas prices, expensive housing, traffic, blinding smog, overpopulation, and rising crime rates made Los Angeles uninhabitable for those not hypnotized by her beauty. During the 1920s, Harry Williams, head assistant to renowned Los Angeles architect Raymond Kennedy, sensed this misfortune for the future of Angelenos. In assisting with his counterpart’s final project in 1926, Williams strategically manipulated iconic Los Angeles landmarks to hide clues solely intended for those clever enough to expose them and break away from the city’s grasp. In 2020, nearly a hundred years after Williams’ secrets were situated amongst the city, an expedition awaits those who can uncover the hidden secrets and paths established by Williams. This team of clever minds have been hand selected for this adventurous journey to unriddle the layers of mystery, reveal the unknown, and Escape L.A.

Really neat room that uses the key highlights of the LA area. Everything that is in the room are tourist hotspot attractions. Flowed well, game master was great. No traditional lock and key, everything that opened indicated it opened. Fun for families and small groups.

I rate this escape experience a 3.5/5 (ck out my bio for rating system). The best part of this experience was the set and theme. I gave this category 1.5 pts. It captured LA culture including the downfalls of living in LA - gridlock!! 😆 By the end, I re-appreciated all LA has to offer (even though I still wouldn't move back!). Puzzles get 1 point. Fun but nothing particularly novel. My enjoyment gets a point as well. It's a cute room but, unfortunately, was not worth the price you pay for 2 people. The more people, the less you pay pp so it's something to consider. My favorite room at this establishment, Atlantis, was definitely worth the price!

Really solid high tech room! There are a ton of nods to LA in the whole room. Everything flowed really nicely from room to room. Pretty straight forward room. Our GM Arthur was super awesome about showing us all the cool Easter eggs in the room.

If you like LA you will probably enjoy this room very much. The puzzles are good. There is nothing too complicated. The atmosphere is what you would expect.

There is a CASH ONLY parking lot behind the facility that is $4 all day that is very well priced for LA and not a hassle when you don't have to worry about if or when they close / lock you out of getting your car back - no gate!

This venue puts in a lot of thought and care into emergency exits, which is awesome.

This was a cute room. My husband and I came here on a date night. I had a lot of fun. The puzzles were simple but sometimes had a bit of a twist. The production value was medium. The floors are plain wood lvp, it could have been elevated with flooring that matched the theming.
