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.

Best Storytelling (2018)

You arrive at a nondescript black door with a green light...
You knock. The door slowly swings open and you're invited in...

Welcome to Stash House

Your group has been invited to a seemingly-normal Koreatown apartment owned by a local entrepreneur to discuss a business opportunity.

Shortly after arriving, you discover the apartment belongs to Ray Jones, notorious Los Angeles drug kingpin, and that Ray has a test in store for you: find all the drugs hidden in the space and flush them before the cops arrive or face the consequences.

Stash House is a ninety-minute escape experience that explores the dark underbelly of crime in Los Angeles. Does your crew have what it takes to pass the test?

This was an amazing escape room. There were unique and challenging puzzles, the set was fantastic, and there were opportunities to split up our team and to work together!! The flow was amazing. The game recommends 4-6 players, and we did it with 3 experienced players and escaped just in time. I definitely wouldn’t want a massive group, but the ability to split up and work in separate puzzles makes having more people helpful. I definitely wouldn’t recommend having fewer than 4. This game is challenging and would not be great for beginners. Overall, this is one of my favorite escape rooms that my group has ever done. I would definitely check it out.

Lab Rat takes place in a laboratory where giant rats are doing odd experiments on human beings, specifically you! The somewhat unhinged Ratkenstein, a doctoral student in the field of human intelligence (or, in his estimation, the lack thereof), has tasked you with completing a series of tests and puzzles. If you succeed, he can finally write his dissertation. If you fail, he’s going to put you and your friends in the old test-subject chipper (like a wood chipper, but for test subjects!). You’ll have one hour to complete the tests and attempt to get out of the laboratory for good, before Ratkenstein turns you into mulch!

Great room, lots of fun to play. Not too complicated with fun interactive puzzles. A light and joyful kind of room. Didn’t care for the creepy rat guy but that was just story that got a little unnecessarily uncomfortable for me, but the room was solid.

Nominee (2021)

A woman named Josie has recently passed away, leaving behind a storage room filled with decades of collected memories and cryptic secrets. Remnants of her entire life are all here in one place - left for you to discover.

As a young girl growing up in the 1960s, Josie was gifted a tape recorder and began documenting every part of her life. But in her old age, she has become almost unrecognizable, warped by the tragic events of her past.

The Nest is an intimate, live experience for two audience members at a time, combining elements of immersive theater, narrative video games, serialized podcasts, and escape rooms into a new way to experience a story. 
Equipped with a flashlight, search through personal effects, explore your surroundings, and listen to audio cassettes to piece together the dramatic narrative of Josie's life.

WOW. What a moving experience. As an escape room enthusiast it was incredible learning how to just move with the flow of the story and not think so hard about puzzles, not everything needs to be analyzed under a microscope. They let you take your time, and if the GM is calling to nudge you forward, they do it completely in character and you don’t realize what they’re even doing when they call. They’re more of a companion than someone running the room. 

The point here is to listen to Josie’s journey and essentially wander through her memories under the guise of a storage unit. Doing this in a group of 2 as the only people in the building late at night other than our GM was part of the experience, it allowed us to take our time and let go, let the boxes and tapes guide our way. 

The very last room is overwhelming, depending on the mood you are in after the main room itself, this last one can be beautiful or heartbreaking. I could have spent an hour in that room alone. 

There is some sensitive subject matter that is warned about ahead of time and puts a very true depth into this story that may or may not be real. It takes up space in my mind and heart and I don’t really care if it’s real or fake because I felt every second of it, Hatch did an amazing job at this that I’ve not seen anywhere else ever. Highly recommended for small groups with open hearts.

IntelliCo is hiring! The boundary pushing neuroscience company that seems to have more questions than answers is looking for a new cohort of big brains and curious minds. On the precipice of a major breakthrough that has the potential to make history,  Dr. Gordon Goobler invites you to stand on the shoulders of giants with him as you work toward that breakthrough together. Utilize the time tested power of the scientific method to complete unusual experiments and collect valuable data. The mysteries of the human brain are waiting to be discovered in this atomic age sci-fi odyssey. Are you ready to change the world, with science?!

I have done many escape rooms but this one takes the cake. This room was so well constructed and you could tell so much thought and effort went into it. I loved every second of it and didn’t want it to end. 2 people is the perfect amount for this room. It isn’t super difficult, we only needed one hint. I had a smile on my face thoroughly the entire room. I didn’t feel stressed, and I loved how instead of solving a case or problem, it was just fun mini games that lead to one big finish. I have never experienced anything like this and this defiantly makes the number one spot without a doubt!

You have 60 minutes to escape from prison, or it’s your life.
No pressure.

You and your group of friends have been sentenced to life without possibility of parole. You are rotting in a maximum security prison. The catch? You didn't do it. While waiting for someone to help you, you plead for your life in court, but your appeals have been denied again and again. Your entire group was set up, and the only proof that will set you free, is outside of the walls of the prison. Since the criminal justice system is broken, the only thing you can do now is rely on those inside to help you escape. It seems everyone in the prison - the cook, the janitor, all of the trustees - all believe you, and will work together to make sure you don't rot in prison for the crime you didn't commit. But will their help be enough?

I can understand how people see this as Revolution’s best room. It’s got it all: 2 floors, a ton of puzzles, jumpsuits, a [cool way of getting from one floor to the other that I won’t spoil]. Your group starts separate like any classic prison break room and from the very start you have break things to get out. THIS really felt like escaping. On the side of their building it says “It’s Not a Game” and I felt that in this one. Wrongfully Convicted was deeply immersive and had us doubling back to solve puzzles, with one of the best/hardest final puzzles I’ve ever been tasked of solving in a room.
