The 18 best escape rooms in Hollywood
The entertainment capital of the world is home to some amazing escape rooms, and as you'd expect, many of them have world class set design.
“Sooooo much fun!!! I loved how the creators of the game put so much heart and soul in designing the room, including letting participants take photos / videos of the room. Even though it’s a kid friendly room, we had so much fun because of the tech, the mechanics and the storytelling immersion! Loved the whole experience and it was truly a memorable one for me. Kudos to the room, set and design makers!”

“It has such an incredible production that you get lost in the game. If you were a fan of the escape rooms where it feels like a lot of mini games, but has an overarching story you can’t really beat this.”

“Truly one of the most immersive escape rooms I’ve ever done, The Perfumer delivers in every way a good escape room should. The build spans multiple rooms and multiple levels, the effects and puzzle pieces were realistic, and overall the puzzles themselves were satisfying and intuitive. Our gamemaster Anthony was funny and a great addition to an already stellar room. With pieces that we could climb and props we had to physically build in order to use, this experience shows how inventive and immersive escape rooms can be.”

“This was a very nice room! It's a darker room where you're given light sources to use (love-hate relationship). The theming was REALLY NICE. Puzzles were challenging and different. The only downside was that there was at least one puzzle that was a bit finnicky/buggy. We got the idea of what we had to do but the puzzle wasn't registering our solution correctly. Other negative was that it was kind of hard to hear the GM on the staticky speakers. We often had to ask him to repeat what he said, burning through more of our time. One puzzle was particularly difficult, but we brute forced the solution once we had a couple parts solved. The ending shocked me because you had to literally break a golden rule of escape rooms to end it. Without the buggy puzzle and subpar speaker system, this room would be pretty top tier.”

“I truly loved Project Minotaur because it’s very unique compared to other escape rooms. This escape room focuses heavily on survival and thrills, making it feel like you’re inside a horror movie. It’s highly immersive and interactive, so I’d recommend wearing comfortable clothes since you’ll definitely be active and break a sweat! We did the room with just two people and managed to escape. We found that having more than four people would make it feel cramped, so I’d recommend keeping to a maximum of four. A huge shout-out to Gabriel and Lo, our amazing game masters, for making the experience unforgettable! Overall, it’s an amazing and rare experience, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone seeking a genuinely thrilling adventure!”

“Jumanji was our first 60out escape room and it was great! We ended up finishing all the rooms at the Melrose location, and Jumanji was definitely the highlight there. It's really on theme, and knowing the general idea of the movie definitely makes it more enjoyable. Puzzles were fun and different.”

“Great room. Staff was friendly and they had parking on site. The room was imersive and I would say the puzzles were moderately difficult for experienced players. If you're newer it may be more difficult as there are not always clear instructions regarding how to solve puzzles”

“We made it out!! Freedom at last!!!! This was our favorite prison break room so far. Definitely better if you do it with 2-4 people at most. Super fun immersive experience. Has some fun surprises during the experience. Highly recommend for everyone to do. GM was great in giving us a couple of nudges along the way to make sure we made it out and got the full experience. Can’t wait to try the other Rooms here.”

“I’ve done a lot of escape rooms, and this one is easily one of my favorites. The atmosphere is incredibly immersive and really sets it apart from most rooms. The difficulty was a perfect medium, with lots of longer, satisfying puzzles and only one or two that were truly challenging. Our game master, Brenna, was the best we’ve ever had—we’ve had her twice and she is amazing. Without giving too much away, the live-actor element is done in a super creative and unexpected way that makes the experience feel truly unique. There’s also a physically active part that was SO cool, especially for kids. An unforgettable escape room experience!”

“Favorite room I’ve ever done!!! So many good puzzles that aren’t necessarily your typical lock and key approach. If you’re in LA for escape rooms you HAVE to do this one. One of the best experiences I’ve had. And Pham was such a great game master!”

“THIS ROOM!!!!! It’s been on my bucket list for YEARS and I finally get to check it off!! This room really had it all! So many fun puzzles, so much to do, and soooo many elements. The one thing I’ll say is that it’s clear there have been people who have messed around in the past because there were a loooooot of in-game precautions that kept being relayed by the GM over the speaker. It kinda distracted from the game because we would just be trying something out and then they’d come on the speaker and explain why we shouldn’t touch something, but even with that, it was still so great!”

About Hollywood
Unless you’ve visited Hollywood before, it can be hard to describe. It’s sunny, it’s wealthy, it’s full of diverse cultures, and at any given time you might see a famous person at Whole Foods. As you tour the many wonders of this desert dreamland, be sure to keep an eye out for Paramount Studios, the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and treat yourself to an In-N-Out Burger (animal style). Aside from these attractions, Hollywood is also alive with some of the most unique and immersive escape rooms in the country. It’s no surprise, given that the city’s name is synonymous with some of the most iconic films of all time. There’s a lot to take in, but if you’re looking to be the star of your own Great Escape, here are the best spots in town.
Learn More About Hollywood Escape Rooms
The escape room scene is alive in Hollywood. Since the first escape rooms arrived in Los Angeles in 2016, the film capital of the United States hasn’t stopped crafting these immersive puzzle experiences. In fact, Los Angeles proper is home to 49 different escape room venues. If you look around, you’ll notice several places that are expanding the definition of experiential entertainment in Hollywood. From the expansive Escape Hotel on Hollywood Boulevard to the innovative Escape Revolution on Melrose Avenue, there’s plenty to experience in the City of Angels. With over 170 escape games in the entire area, the possibilities are nearly endless — you’ll find games with themes of horror, adventure, crime, espionage, and plenty you may not expect.
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!
