      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.”

      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.”

      Part escape room, part choose-your-own-adventure, completely unique. THE LADDER is a fully replayable immersive experience in which your choices and performance determine the outcome! Get ready to embark on a 50-year career at Nutricorp, an Omaha-based vitamin company with more than a few dark secrets to hide. Each room of The Ladder represents a decade—from the rockin’ 1950s to the less rockin’ 1990s—and features both scored games and puzzles. Your score will allow you to make certain choices (Wanna raise a family? Wanna hire a secretary?) while solving the super-tough and fully optional puzzles will grant you access to new parts of the story—and an entire bonus room. Featuring a 90-minute runtime, 5 playable avatars, 8 different sets, and nearly a dozen different endings, The Ladder has been designed to blow your mind not once, not twice, but as many times as you care to visit. Will you play as a hero or a villain? Will you make your first billion or wind up penniless? And did you ever figure out what was in that mysterious pneumatic capsule? Well, you know what they say: if at first you don’t succeed…you’re probably a talentless hack. Or maybe you should try again…

      “The Ladder is more of an experience than an escape room, where each room is a 15-minute container and you are moving through each decade with your chosen character. It’s the best of both worlds in my opinion with the “choose your own adventure” and escape room/arcade game feel. There are multiple pathways to win so you never really lose and you’re doing something the entire time either to get more story or more money. Do it for the plot takes on a different meaning here. When we played the experience, the technical pieces ran smoothly and we came in with the expectation that this was a linear immersive video game. Our game master, Chelsea, is probably the most amazing human ever so that definitely made our HR onboarding a seamless one. We also came on a Wednesday, which significantly reduced the price point for our group. I see the vision of how this is meant to be played more than once and now I want to back to see what other lives I may have lived! I always have completions tendencies so I know there is always going to be that part of me that’s hesitant to shift to a new focus or let a task go. One feedback I would have is to have a much more obvious signal if the games and puzzles were solved. Sometimes, we were not sure if it has already been solved or we messed up along the way. The point is to have fun and we did have a lot of fun. Thank you so much Chelsea and Hatch for a great 50 years 😭”

      “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!”

      After Da Vinci's passing, he left his favorite pupil, Salai, a gift. This gift was greater than anyone could ever suspect, a secret room filled with some of the most challenging riddles and puzzles known to man. It is Da Vinci's last unsolved mystery and now you have a chance to unravel some of his greatest work.

      “We loved this game. Great puzzles, great flow, and even the mechanics/ mechanisms were pretty flawless. I love when sound effects tell you when you’re doing something right or wrong so you know if you keep going. And when you do get something right it triggers. Honestly we came for a different game, but wanted to do another one…. But we had reservations for an escape room 45 minutes away in 2 hours (it was a 75 minute game) & we asked our game master to keep us on track & Rachel couldn’t have nailed it harder. She nudged us if we were hitting the wrong puzzle for too long. She also didn’t just give us answers if we asked for a nudge, so she wouldn’t just like solve the puzzle, she’d direct the logic to get us to the next puzzle. Honestly, I couldn’t have pictured it any more perfect. Rachel was the perfect amount of Helpful … not to mention super courteous & hospitable. My husband rates this as one of his top 5 favorite puzzles & we’ve done over 100. I wish we didn’t live out of town so we could do all games at all the locations”

      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.”

      You have 60 minutes to find what escobar needs, or your family will die. Can you save them? The year is 1993. You’re a mid-level Sicario working for Pablo Escobar in Medellin, Colombia. You receive news that Escobar is furious—one of his most trusted allies has betrayed him. In his rage, Escobar killed the informer, who happened to be the only one who knows where your boss’s money and fake passport are hidden. The DEA are on their way to the clandestine cocaine lab, and Escobar desperately needs his money and passport to flee the country, and he’s demanded that you find them. If Escobar doesn’t get these things before the DEA arrives, he’s sworn to murder your entire family in revenge. He’ll have no mercy on you, and neither will the DEA.

      “This was such a cool experience. My group of 2 did both this and wrongfully convicted back to back. Both were so immersive and had maybe the best/most realistic sets I’ve seen in an escape room. There were also some really cool aspects I haven’t seen in other rooms. I definitely would recommend going with a larger group for both rooms. We thought that the puzzles could’ve flowed better and used more direction. For both wrongfully convicted and Escobar, the puzzles were very difference from a typical escape room and very much geared to keeping the experience as immersive as possible. I just think that the puzzles could be better and more intuitive overall. I enjoyed Escobar slightly more than Wrongfully but both were fantastic experiences and I recommend doing both if you’re in LA. Also, Carmen was such an awesome game master. She was so attentive and helpful throughout the entire experience!”

      Step into a reality that fights back. Glitches flicker in the corners of your vision, shadows shift when no one is there, and the surveillance watching you is far more alive than it should be. Objects appear where nothing existed seconds before, alarms roar without warning, and something in the system seems to… notice you.

      “This room was great. Multi-layered puzzles, lots of thinking outside the box, and fun surprises along the way. It was scarier than anticipated, but I felt like that added to my enjoyment. Knowing The Matrix movies certainly adds to the room, but it felt like a good balance of a world existing inside of that concept.”

After uncovering a series of puzzles you get sucked into the world of JUMANJI and need to do whatever it takes to survive this new, wild world you’ve discovered.

It's really on theme, and knowing the general idea of the movie definitely makes it more enjoyable. Puzzles were fun and different.”

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!
