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.
“This was a very cool room with really creative puzzles. My team of 3 had a really good time getting through the room. Lots to do. Solved with seconds to spare. Our GM Becca was hilarious and really set the tone for us from the start and made this whole experience absolutely fun for us. Look forward to doing more 60out rooms”

“I don’t give out Morty “hearts” a lot… we’ve done a lot of rooms and a lot blend together at this point. You can tell that this room was made by people who really LOVE escape rooms. Hard to say anything other than delightful and cute. This is definitely an easier room in terms of difficulty. Take your time and solve puzzles together if you want to get the most fun experience. If I could recommend any first room, it would be this one hands down.”

“This is such a gorgeous room. The details in the entire room are amazing. All the puzzles are interesting and the way you ask for hints is fun. Definitely a top 5 room for me if not my favorite. All the little pieces put in to make it are awesome.”

“The set design on this room was great! Most of the puzzles were pretty fun with some surprising moments thrown in as you spend time exploring and discovering. There was one particular puzzle that’s honestly just annoying to do and takes too much time but otherwise this room was pretty great and had a unique design. I would def recommend!”

“Project Minotaur is truly a different breed! It’s by far the most immersive, intense escape room experience I have ever done. My family had so much fun despite the high stakes and terrifying components. Our game masters Robbie and Zach did such an amazing job!! Note that they can touch, grab, chase, blindfold you, etc. and there are parts that require crawling, small spaces, darkness, and the like. I thought it was all part of the fun! But it can be quite intense. I’ll also note that the game is centered more around the horror experience than around the puzzles, but some of the puzzles (especially in the beginning) are quite cool and novel! Overall, I would highly recommend this room as an awesome horror escape room—and if that’s your thing, you’ll love it.”

“This was a really fun room with a great theme. It is based off of the newer Jumanji movies, so you might enjoy (re)watching those before you do this room. The set design in the room was great and the puzzles were fun. Nothing too crazy difficult, but lots to solve. I’d recommend it for the fun theming and well made set.”

“Grandma’s Masterplan had a good number of puzzles that were great to solve with a mid-size/larger group! Definitely a variety of puzzles where we each got to play a part and Jenna was a GM who set a good premise for us as her grandchildren 👵🏻”

“Some real physical crime experience. A few puzzles are unique and super well designed. It’s a big room with a lot of puzzles. We escaped as a group of 2 with less than 2min to spare, after using several hints”

“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.”

“This was a great room. The setup is simple but the way the room unfolds as you play it was surprising and entertaining. Several of the puzzle chains were among my favorites that I have done in a long time. The subject matter is, obviously, mature so don’t bring the kiddos but as long as you are OK with profuse drug references and associated PG-13 rated concepts you will be fine. I mean, not if you fail the room, then you’ll be busted by the cops and that will definitely harsh your mellow. But otherwise fine. Highly recommended.”

“Love any game that gives me a treat. The set was incredible, you truly felt like a lab rat. The puzzles were very creative. I’d give it a medium rating for skill level, could be challenging for newer escapers. Overall a very unique experience.”

“Soooo fun!!! Almost like a bunch of mini games. There’s no way to solve everything the first time and opens up the opportunity to replay. I felt like I was walking through Disneyland! The room was SOOO high tech and the mechanics are like the future of escape rooms. There’s definitely easy and challenging puzzles so enough for both beginners and experienced. Love love loved it!!”

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!
