“Did you ever watch that 90's Disney Channel movie Smart Home? Yeah, that but it's your turn to escape your way out. I really enjoyed the quantity of puzzles in this space for how bare it seems when you first walk in. S.A.S.H.A. has a great variety of puzzles for your team to solve, even some that had me scratching my head at first before getting that "are you kidding me?" moment of how did I absolutely miss that. A great room for a couple, but also plenty of tasks to complete making it good for a larger group as well, even if you'll be a little squished together at first.”

“Game is extremely well done. Atmosphere is designed well, and the puzzles are all well integrated into the room. Very high tech, with very few actual keys or combinations. Most puzzles integrate into the room in some form. Some slightly unclear instructions that might've gotten us finished a tad be quicker as we ventured through the escape. Definitely recommend slightly higher count for the group. We did with 3 and would've been very difficult otherwise.”

“This was a cool room with tons of technology (lots of special effects, automation). We really appreciated the large quantity of puzzles and the time and attention that was put into the room and the immersive experience of the story line. Definitely book this room if you enjoy rooms with lots of tech and effects. The only downside is that many of the puzzles were pretty simple and with the linear design, sometimes it felt like just following directions. In any case we really enjoyed the room and we're glad that we played but we enjoyed Lab Rat more for the heavier focus on the puzzles.”

“My group attended Zoe as the crescendo to a full day of horror escape rooms that increased in intensity as the day went on. Zoe was nothing short of delightful (as far as a terrifying evil spirit horror escape room goes). This room to me felt like 70% horror/haunted house experience, with 30% escape room, and I loved that. My friend mentioned her friend has done this room maybe 10 times. He keeps coming back with different groups, and now I can see why- it's a whole experience, the energy of which changing with different groups dynamics. The owner did a great job of setting up the experience, so you knew what to expect, allowing yourself to just enjoy whatever happened. Anyway, I could go on, but either way this room was a great end to a great day. The people who work here are very passionate, and it shows.”

“This was the funniest room I have ever done and will probably ever do. I would encourage players to suspend your disbelief for this room and tap into your silly side, AND bring your friends who you can laugh and make easy memories with. The puzzles are intriguing, unique, and challenging! But, escape room era truly struck lightning in a bottle with the relationship between player and game master for this one, along with the way the story unfolds. Let go and enjoy the immersion. It’s a fantastic room.”

“I will start by saying that if you do this room, you definitely need to have a strong team! This room is not for beginners! Great production quality, as always, from Crossroads, and the puzzles were unique without being frustratingly difficult. Overall, I think I can say that Hex Room is in my top ten favorite rooms so far!”

“LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS ROOM! Definitely lived up to the hype. Although it is a scary room, the first word I’d use to describe it is “elegant”. From the set decor to the extremely well executed scares this room is top notch and operating on an elevated level from a typical “jump out and yell boo” horror room (not that I don’t love those as well). Top to bottom this room is incredibly well thought out. I just wish I could experience it again for the first time. Amazing job by our game master David!”

“This room was really well done. The puzzles were difficult, but it was a good difficult! We had an awesome GM named Molly! Super sweet and very enthusiastic about escape rooms! From the beginning, the room was challenging, but not frustrating. As we worked our way through the room, it was clear that the room was thought out and well executed. Some of the puzzles made us think in ways we hadn't before, but that's a good thing. I really enjoyed this room and if you are in the Anaheim area, definitely take a trip over!”

“Me and my best friend typically go with our kids. So this is the first time we set out to play a scary game, so there's Only Two of Us. This thing was scarier then. A lot of the haunts I've been. So immersive! It was a legit challenge-linear based puzzle room with some classic scare tactics, we screamed, we cursed, and we almost didnt escape because my friend didn't want to move! Excellent memory. made us feel like silly teenagers with how scared we got.”

“Great time with this game was on the easier side for our group as we had seen a few of the puzzles before in other rooms. We like how Immersed you felt by being in an actual bank and vault. There felt like a lot of puzzles and locks but we kept getting them done quickly. We needed about 3 clues and only one of them because we didn’t see that something opened after we solved a clue.”

How Do Escape Rooms Work?
Remember those point-and-click adventure games where you’re locked in a room and have to solve puzzles to find the key and escape? Those online games were the original inspiration for the live escape rooms you’ll find all across the world today. An escape room is an immersive experience where you (and your team of 2 or more people) are locked in a room with a series of puzzles for 60 minutes. To escape and win the game, you have to look for clues, solve the puzzles, and find the key. While most escape rooms only give you 60 minutes to complete the challenge, others may have shorter or longer time limits. Many venues are private rooms where you and your team are the only players. However, some places may pair you with other groups who booked a slot at the same time. And don’t worry about getting stuck, asking for hints on a difficult puzzle is totally normal. While the original escape room (created by SCRAP in 2007) had a fairly simple aesthetic, today’s escape games often take you into a different world. Artistic set designs, secret doors, and unique interactive elements are all part of the fun. It’s like an adventure game that you can interact with in real life. But if you’re hoping to preview any rooms before you book a game somewhere, detailed images and videos can be hard to find. To keep the puzzles a secret and preserve the experience of seeing the room for the first time, most venues only offer a few photos or a short trailer about the room’s theme or narrative. The only way to know what it’s like is to go and try it for yourself!
