The 14 best escape rooms in Anaheim

“A really fun room. The relatively spare room design is perilously close to seeming mundane, but it actually ends up feeling uncanny and on-theme instead. On the easier side, but really fun nonlinear puzzles, a satisfying interface, and some little surprises make it a winner.”

“Great room! One of the best fantasy/magic themed rooms I’ve done, with a lot of intricacy and surprise in a very contained space. Interestingly, in terms of the room design and the disposition of space/mechanisms, this room is sort of the warm, benevolent sister of Crossroads’ Weeping Witch (as odd as that sounds). GM was a pleasure, too.”

“Selected Purgatory Mode.. All I can say is this: There is a waiver. A REAL Waiver. They are not kidding about what is on it. Read thoroughly. You've been warned. The rest of it is up to you. Puzzles weren't complicated at all, but we still managed to not complete the room. You'll understand why as soon as the game starts. Good luck.”

“The Hide is a fun, mysterious, and interactive adult game of Hide-and-Seek with the elements of a scare actor, intense darkness, bloody props, and suspenseful music. What I liked most about this room was how much was compacted into the physical space, the interactive “hide-and-seek” element with a scare actor, and the ability to video record using the Escape Room Era’s devices. This room is very immersive which accounts for the laughs, fun, and memories that are made in this room. As you are an investigator, this room truly makes you feel like you’re investigating and having to “hide” when you’re interrupted. We truly had a lot of fun in this escape room! It’s more so about what you can’t see vs what you can see. The real fear factor in this escape room is your own mind. Can you escape?”

“Absolutely loved this room!! Never played anything like it. Communication is vital for this one. Nonlinear in some parts and linear in others (without giving spoilers 👀). So so fun!! And Tara was a phenomenal GM! Highly recommend!!!!”

“Before playing this game, the Cross Roads staff shared with us that this was the first game they have ever made! It is a low tech, lock and key room but the original hint system makes this one a memorable experience on par with their other rooms. My group played the adult version and the puzzles were challenging. I do tend to overthink puzzles so we had a harder time getting started but once we did, we sped through the rest. I could imagine this being difficult to do with only 2 people, so I would recommend at least 4 people to run around the space and split up. I love the carnival theme and I’m curious as to how they change it up for the kid version.”

“So this is now in my top three. When we showed up the staff were nice and engaged in conversation. These guys know how to make the experience. From lobby, to briefing room to the area where the games starts was well thought out and top notch! As for the game, wow! The room was themed well and all props were intact and everything worked. The actor was good and definitely enhanced the experience. Also the way you get clues was pretty cool and made the experience way better. Well done team I love this experience!”

“This was seriously one of my favorite escape rooms I’ve done. From not only the atmosphere but the puzzles was so fun!! There were a lot of rooms too! The owner was so kind and very fun to talk to! I would gladly do their other room!”

“I was inspired by the previous reviewers to leave cat puns but for a family friendly offering, this is a great addition to Exit Game and the OC area. This escape room was an absolute meowsterpiece. From the moment we stepped in, we were feline the vibes. There was cute décor, clever puzzles, and just the right amount of chaos to keep us on our toes. The staff was so fur-riendly and this is on the easier side (they really kid-proofed this place) but still enjoyable for escape room enthusiasts. I loved the storyline and how the game flowed purrffectly. If you’re looking for a whisker-whirling good time, this room is the cat’s meow. We left with full hearts and big smiles!”

“This escape room is fantastic! The atmosphere is insanely well done, and it’s about as scary as it can be with no live actor. There aren’t a ton of jumpscares, which I think works to this room’s advantage. You’ll be on edge the entire time, and when a jump does come, it will always be in a way you don’t expect! Our game guide was wonderful and helpful, and the hint system plays in so well that it doesn’t break the immersion at all! My one warning would be not to bring too many people, or you’ll probably finish really quickly. There were only two of us, and we still had a relatively easy time. I think this is a great room for beginners if you can handle the scares. Even though the puzzles weren’t overly complex, the atmosphere and storytelling in this room alone makes it well worth your time!”

“We had SO much fun in Prison Break! We couldn’t help but cell-abrate when we finally escaped. Lol. This escape room had a very unique way of starting off the game where we truly had to rely on our teamwork, communication, and listening skills due to the Bars In Between. The puzzles were more mechanical and lock-and-key than high tech, but with the high tech puzzles that were present, it did a great job at not taking away from the experience of “escaping” a prison break. Due to the physical space, I would recommend a team of 4-8 players in total. It’s just enough for the players to interact with the clues and with each other while also not overcrowding one another either. The set design was truly immaculate in Prison Break! We even needed a hint to know where to go next because the set design was so immersive, unique, and detailed. It’s one of those rooms where you feel that everything is bigger on the inside than the outside, and this escape room did not disappoint! If you’re ready for a fun Escape, you need to go play Prison Break with your group! Just remember, don’t take things too Prison-ally.”

“Another great room from TEG! Very cool tech. We completed the room with 15 minutes to spare with a group of 3. Puzzles were not linear so easy to divide and conquer or work together. There are a few puzzles however that at a minimum needs 3 to get through quickly.”

“There is so much in this room we had our typical group of 4 and we were on top of all the puzzles just there is a lot and we barely had enough time. It had a vibe of are you smarter than a 5th grader tv show. We would have been better if we had one more person in our group but we still got out. I recommend this room just make sure y’all talk a lot.”

“This was our second room of the night here. We thought we weren’t going to make it out but with a little help from our GM Lemon we were able to get out! We thought harder than The Depth one but a great challenge for the three of us. Some puzzles were more time consuming than difficult.”
