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.”

“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.”

“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! Just wow. This set design was massive, detailed, and high tech. From lighting to music every element added to the immersion. The transition in the beginning and from room to room provided several WOW moments that I haven’t see in any other rooms. This is a puzzle heavy room which we loved! Nothing too complex and everything makes sense. Incredible room! Shoutout to our GM Scott!”

“Not an escape room in the original sense, more of an immersive discovery game. Went with my 2 daughters (22 and 14 y/o) and we loved it so much! Essentially you are allowed access to a women’s storage unit and you explore your way through her belongings discovering cassette tapes along the way that tell her life story. It’s raw, emotional, and incredibly immersive. I won’t say too much, but if you have a small group (3 max, 2 ideal), then I strongly recommend this experience. Get in your feels and tune your senses and you may walk away with tears in your eyes. Another great experience by Hatch games.”

“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!”

“Whatever Happened To The Garretts was such a delight! This room had: - An easy to follow story that was reinforced through the gameplay - A polished set that was a faithful representation of the story being told - A clean, linear puzzle flow that still offered layered solves. I played as a duo, which I thought was the perfect amount given the linear nature of the room.”

“The production value on this was astounding. I appreciated the attention to detail and had a lot of fun in the room. It wasn’t personally my favorite room just because it felt like a lot of mini games rather than puzzles to solve but I appreciated the novel approach and how well designed everything was. I would recommend it highly to anyone!”

“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.”

“A great time with Family and gives you a brain and body workout. GREAT for team building. Make sure you stay hydrated and most of all have fun and patience. Ricky made sure we knew all the rules and had a great time.”

“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.”

“Might be biased bc I’m from Hong Kong, but one of my favorites of all time. Super unique start and gameplay progression allows for parallel processing. Set design one of the best I’ve seen and a lot of puzzles rooted in true Hong Kong culture, GM really helps tie the experience together.”

“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.”

“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”

“Very fun room to stick together and enjoy the whole experience, not your typical rush through and try to get the best time. Finished in half hour and if we did split up probably would’ve been done in sub 20. Very good production!”

“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.”

“Quite a memorable game, with a large number of puzzles that were really fun to interact with, all brought to life by an incredibly detailed environment, props large and small, and a very funny and unique guide to every nook and cranny of the space.”

“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!”

“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!”

“I rate this escape experience a 4/5 (ck out my bio for rating system). This is a purely mechanical room so basically all locks. This is their niche according to our host. That being said, it is definitely better than the average lock- heavy room. There is so much care that went in to the set from the painted tiles to the handcrafted wooden pieces. Very impressive and intricate work. Due to the care and detail given to the pieces in the room and the creative goal, I give the set/theme 1.5 pts. When you're just doing puzzles with locks, you have to be pretty creative because there's not a high tech reveal. This room accomplished that with it's many different puzzles. Just the old fashioned, first-generation type that takes a little brainpower to solve. Puzzles get another 1.5 pt. I give my enjoyment 1 pt. There was nothing fantastical about the room nor any real wow moments but it was a solid room full of intricate art and creative puzzles.”

“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!”
