The 12 best escape rooms in Downtown Los Angeles

“This room is incredible, please do yourself a favor and play it! Sam is a beyond incredible GM, and she made everything super fun for us. This is a non-linear room and one of the coolest non-linear experiences that I’ve ever done. This room is the definition of sprawling, as more and more and more space opens as you progress, and it really feels like you’re in an alleyway and a packed city. The rarity of puzzles is incredible, and please experience this as blind as possible because the novelty of it all is incredible!”

“This is an extremely cute room! It’s a simple enough theme that I haven’t really seen before, but it works super well because you just get to get in and get going. Carlos is a super cool GM. We were interested in the idea of this location always having GMs in the room with you, but after doing all 4 rooms and having GMs Sam and Carlos, I can confidently say that they make it work and it works well! This is an incredible location that everybody should come and try!”

“This place really knows how to have stunning set design! Super solid room, with super solid GM Carlos. The puzzles were worn due to all love this room has surely received over the years, but still felt good to interact with. Fun time!”

“I rate this escape experience a 4/5 (ck out my bio for rating system). The set/theme did not entail much but had some pretty cool experiences scattered throughout. There was a bit of Houdini trickery in the beginning that took us WAY too long and required a helpful hunt. I give the set/theme 1.5 pts. Again, not much to it but the 'magical' experiences we were part of made up for that. The puzzles were few and relatively easy when you get the idea so 1 point here. I really enjoyed the room because of the fun and unique experiences it provided so 1.5pts here.”

“Once again, this location provides incredible set design. Even though this game has clearly seen its fair share of love over the years, the quality of everything you interact with still feels super well-made and solid. GM Sam is incredible, and makes these experiences super memorable. The puzzles were pretty good, but nothing groundbreaking in how you are interacting with the room. What is groundbreaking however, is how you interact with the set design. There are multiple parts that just feel plain cool to interact with and cause things to happen to. A great set design, with solid puzzles, made even better by a great GM.”

“I rate this escape experience a 4/5 (ck out my bio for rating system). This room was awesomely rad! From the 1990s shoutouts to the rare serial killer with a great sense of humor, it was so enjoyable. I gave the set/theme 1.5 points. There was a lot of substance in the many areas of the game. I find serial killer rooms to have a common set - blood on the walls, body parts scattered about - but this one, even though it had all that as well, added so much more with the addition of the occasional audio and video commentary. This elevated the set/theme category as well as my enjoyment to 1.5 pts. Puzzles were average so 1 point here but it really isn't about the puzzles in this room. It's about the guy behind the mask who steals the show and makes this room so gnarly, dude!”

“Great outdoor escape room exploring Little Tokyo. Played the game with two phones in our family of 4 (2 adults, a teenager and a 9 year old). Good mix of puzzles and finding environmental clues. Would highly recommend.”

“Hyde is definitely my favorite of the Silverlake 60Out rooms (I have yet to do Houdini). This room was very big and full of puzzles. It really did feel like you were walking outside a big top circus and making your way through. Really well executed rooms and creatively built setting. Though it felt like some puzzles took a second to trigger, escape rooms are gonna escape room so it’s not a big deal. Lots of fun ideas were crammed into each puzzle and none felt out of place or forced. I had a great time.”

“We had an amazing time at Amityville yesterday! As a Long Island-born gal, I always jump at the chance to see any Amityville movies or attractions, and this one did not disappoint! While the room was fairly easy for us, it was still very enjoyable and had great ambiance. A number of reviews mention the low light conditions, but we felt that it was very well executed, with just enough light to keep the environment spooky but still explorable. If you struggle in low-light environments, this may not be for you, but if you like a spooky escape room and don't mind low light, you'll love Amityville!”
