The 24 best escape rooms in Los Angeles

“This was incredibly immersive and delightfully funny. Every detail was incredible down to a hilarious clue system. There is a lot to do but the floor is well laid out and there are guides to help you stay on track. Genuinely one of the most well planned rooms I’ve done. (This was #207 for me)”

“Great escape room with a ton of puzzles. Easier played with a larger group. Since it’s non-linear play, I recommend splitting up and covering more ground that way. Definitely get as many eyes on the puzzle as possible”

“We had lots of fun. A bit more of an old school mechanical room but the puzzles were all fun and we even got in a few Ah Ha! Moments when we realized something we overlooked at first. We also played their latest room The Ladder just before. If I had to only pick one I would go with The Ladder but I thoroughly enjoyed both games.”

“Had such a fun game experience. Thank you Chris and Dan for being phenomenal game masters and actors. Did the room with 7 people, and we all had fun! “Swiper no swiping!” Escaped the minotaur with sweat, crawls, screams, some pushing, and brisk walks. Highly recommend!”

“So fun, especially if you are a child of the 80’s and a fan of Tron. There were some slight technical glitches but otherwise it was a blast. I found it to be a bit on the easy side but the puzzles were fun enough that it didn’t matter.”

“A lot of things to do in a lot of space. The atmosphere is the strongest element in this room and there are cool effects. Some puzzles were very fun others not so much. If you care more for the experience than puzzles you will enjoy this room the most at this location.”

“By far the best way to live this 4 chapter experience. The light continental breakfast/snacks of Danishes, fresh fruit platter, sodas and water was a delightful way to save money with a bulk rate discount. Definitely did not feel rushed and they give you time to set your own pace between rooms. My group was on a tight schedule for the day (as we were doing several companies that day) and going at our own pace with smaller breaks in between made our time more flexible.”

“WOW! What a fun room! First off, Tuesday was an AMAZING game master. She went above and beyond to make our visit special, and I can’t say enough good things about her. I’m SO grateful. Then the atmosphere—one of the coolest lobbies I have seen (very cozy and fun and lots of stuff to do), and I’ve done about 60 rooms. Then the room itself. Wow. I don’t want to spoil anything, but the vibes were so cool, and the puzzles felt very fair but not too easy either. One of my favorite rooms ever all in all, and I HIGHLY recommend Inksidious to anyone looking for an amazing time!”

“What can I say besides that this room is just fun! The furniture and set pieces felt like we were stepping back in time. We needed one hint at the very beginning, but otherwise it flowed well. We struggled in most areas, but it didn’t feel unfair and we eventually got through them on our own. The story was entertaining and unique and if you have a chance to play this room, you absolutely should!”

“The atmosphere of this game was top notch! So immersive! It felt as if you were truly outside when you first enter the room. We took a little bit to get started, but once we did, the flow between puzzles was really smooth. We had no problems solving the room with three people and only struggled on the final puzzle. Probably our favorite set design of the three rooms at this location (though it’s stiff competition). All of the puzzles were unique and non-conventional. There was only one key used in the room, but its use fit the theme perfectly.”

“Room felt bigger than it really was with the great set design. They made being inside during the day feel like it was outside at night. Good use of the live actor use as GM, as well as part of puzzles. Do note that you will need at least 1 player in your group that can crawl into a tight space. Over all it was great, immersive and overall a great story.”

“Like many others have said, this is probably one of my favorite starts to an escape room ever. My unimpressed parents didn't recognize this part of Hong Kong, but the set was nicely done and expansive. There were a lot of great details put into the set and decor. The set was a good size and there was a solid amount of things to do. It definitely was on the easier side because we had 6 people (escaped in 42 min). In comparison, we struggled a bit more with 6ppl in Atlantis (57 min) and with 2ppl in Here, Kitty, Kitty at this location. Puzzles were relatively set to the theme well. GM is in the room with you, and s/he's in character.”

“Big Brain Labs is hiring! Here you’re asked to perform a series of tests to show just how smart you are, and we had a blast! Puzzles were presented clearly, with an even mix of puzzle types. Large props were satisfying to manipulate, and there was great use of lighting and sound. Custom voice lines, colorful, accessible environments and a fun through line. We never struggled to figure out what we needed to do. It was multilinear, but we stuck together to experience the whole thing. Teamwork was required in the last room! We played as a group of 4. It’s an easy recommendation and the best 60out room I’ve played. Thank you Grant!”

“I’m going to start by saying that I don’t love escape rooms with problematic themes. I’m not a huge fan of making light of our insanely problematic carceral system. That said, this room was done extremely well. The production value was amazing and the puzzles were spot on.”

“One of the funnest more enjoyable rooms I’ve done in a while. There is so much to do, 2 people wasn’t a great idea. Definitely recommend 3 as a minimum. Puzzles were very on theme for the room and made sense with everything. Easy enough to piece together and great use of space Our GM, Joe was also a fun dude. Very happy to have him brief us and chat after the game. Everything about play that room was great!”

“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”

“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!”

“Holy number of puzzles to finish, batman!!!! Such fun interactions with Greg our GM throughout, this room. I don’t know what else to say about this room but it was full of twists and turns and it’s a definitely must do room!”

“I loved the decoration in this room, especially the wallpaper. The room was lovely and filled with tons of puzzles, a mix of lock-based and tech-based challenges. It definitely requires at least four people (or three if you’re experienced), since many of the puzzles are layered within other puzzles, which takes extra time to solve. Our GM was great and helpful.”

“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.”

“We had so much fun playing Mush Room. No spoilers but it was such a sweet treat of a room! There were plenty of puzzles to keep us occupied and some that we hadn’t seen before. Love the addition of having to make a choice at the beginning which affects the rest of the game. Tuesday was the most gracious, friendly and lovely game master and we’re so happy this was our 100th room. Can’t recommend this place enough!”

“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.”

“Really well done room, especially for simple tech (mainly combo locks and keys). Very thoughtful and intelligently put together. Can be a little hard for just two people if you get caught up once or twice. Would recommend 3+ people to manage all the puzzles happening (there are a lot!).”

“Our group of four adults was put with a family of four (including two kids), and together we were told we beat the room’s record: no hints and escaped with over 22 minutes to spare! Overall, I really enjoyed this room. There were a lot of great twists and turns, but it felt a little easy for a group this big; probably would have been a better and more challenging experience for a smaller group. Still, The Escape Game always makes great rooms and this one is no exception!”
