The 24 best escape rooms in Los Angeles

“I love this whole series of The Basement from end to end and the finish was just great. The set design was fantastic and the puzzles were super fun to work through. We did get a little stuck a couple times but Partly that’s just because the room is relatively big and there were only three of us and at least one is doesn’t usually do escape rooms. Even with all that, we managed to squeak out with very little time to spare. I would def recommend doing this whole series from the beginning. It was so fun!”

“An all-day experience from 10AM-4PM on a weekday, all 4 escape rooms in this location back-to-back and given essentially up to 90 minutes a room. Light food and drinks in a private room provided. Tier list from most favorite to least favorite: 1. Chapter 1 - The Basement (live actor) 2. Chapter 3 - The Study (live actor) 3. Chapter 4 - The Courtyard (live actor) 4. Chapter 2 - The Elevator Shaft”

“I rate this room a 5/5 (ck out my bio for rating system). This room scored all possible points from me. The set/theme was off the charts! It was completely immersive with great attention to detail and a record number of subrooms. No locks to be found anywhere, yet a variety of different puzzles as well as many kinds we hadn't seen before and medium in difficulty for a group of 3 experienced players. It's very important to keep your eyes open in this room because you can easily miss things. I enjoyed it immensely. Lots of 'wowza' moments! I'm eager to try their other rooms at some point!”

“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!).”

“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!”

“This is a gorgeously designed and rendered room. A variety of puzzles, many of which are actually a bit more game-like, and almost all of which are a blast. Though science is a theme, don’t fret if that sounds like the room is going to give you panicky flashbacks to chemistry class—the puzzles are pretty resolutely science-specifics-free. Couple of small glitches in the room, but so it goes.”

“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.”

“I truly loved Project Minotaur because it’s very unique compared to other escape rooms. This escape room focuses heavily on survival and thrills, making it feel like you’re inside a horror movie. It’s highly immersive and interactive, so I’d recommend wearing comfortable clothes since you’ll definitely be active and break a sweat! We did the room with just two people and managed to escape. We found that having more than four people would make it feel cramped, so I’d recommend keeping to a maximum of four. A huge shout-out to Gabriel and Lo, our amazing game masters, for making the experience unforgettable! Overall, it’s an amazing and rare experience, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone seeking a genuinely thrilling adventure!”

“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.”

“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”

“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.”

“Favorite room I’ve ever done!!! So many good puzzles that aren’t necessarily your typical lock and key approach. If you’re in LA for escape rooms you HAVE to do this one. One of the best experiences I’ve had. And Pham was such a great game master!”

“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!”

“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!”

“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.”

“We loved this escape room from start to finish. Lots of puzzles to solve, large space and incredibly immersive. Beautiful set design, super fun start to the game, innovative way of giving clues, a lot of different types of puzzles, lots to do in one hour. We escaped with a few clues and we definitely felt some time pressure! Overall this was a fanatic experience and we really enjoyed it! I think this was definitely one of our favorite escape rooms we’ve ever done. The puzzles weren’t too difficult or obscure but they flowed so well and it was just a ton of fun.”

“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.”

“Im glad I read nothing about this game. Truly awesome. Whimsical, silly and challening, this is a traditional escape room firing on all cylinders. You feel like you're in a new world, solving real puzzles in that world, and racing against the clock - there is a LOT to do! Despite two small mechanical errors toward the end, I walked away enriched from the experience and feeling completely satisfied that all the hype is well-deserved.”

“This room was just super fun! We did this as a team of two and were able to complete everything. The game guide was great at keeping us on task when we were struggling and enhanced the experience the whole way through (thanks Matt!!). The story telling was top notch. There’s two different sets of puzzles: ones that directly progressed the story forward and others that added flavor and gave resources for a later puzzle. The way they worked together was great. We didn’t complete all of them and I honestly think it was better that way as it added to the story at the end. All in all, a wonderfully fun room with great tech and setting that I’d recommend everyone play!”

“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!”

“This entire escape room establishment sets the bar HIGH for the industry. Make the drive from wherever you're at, their rooms are a MUST do. All four of them. This one was my absolute fave. The tech, story, set, puzzles, props, humor, etc. were top. Fun for our small group of 2 (A LOT to do though!), would be fun for a larger group, would be kids/family friendly for sure. Highly recommend. I hope I get amnesia with this one so I can do it again one day. Shout-out to our GM Jon!”

“Thank you to Jon for making this an absolutely incredible experience! This theme wasn’t something I was expecting to particularly love but the designs of the puzzles combined with Jon’s ability to make a linear room non-linear made this incredible for our group. This is another experience at this location that you should absolutely know as little as possible about before starting. We had 2 people who were first-time escape room players, and 1 child and this was a perfect introductory room for them as it was very clear what items went with each puzzle. I loved the 🐻!”

“Great start to the game that leans heavily into the Tron movie and other arcade games. The arcade games aren't just for show - they actually work and are needed to help complete puzzles! The puzzles in the last room are more physical, but not too difficult. Love the immersive and theme from the Tron movies. Would recommend, even if you're not a hardcore fan of Tron!”
