The 24 best escape rooms in Los Angeles

“This was a fun room! Especially for the overly done “pirate” theme this room knocked it out of the park, each room progression captured the immersion and told a totally different part of the story than the prior one. Novel and well themed puzzles that captured a bit of humor and camp-y feeling of adventure movies. Can’t wait to come back and do more of their rooms!”

“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!”

“This was an incredibly enjoyable room. The puzzles were unique, thematic, and an appropriate level of difficulty. The set was incredible with very high production value. The GM was engaging and friendly. The only (minor) complaints were that the instructions/intro were a bit too long, and we never received a confirmation or instructions before the date of our booking. I would definitely book another experience at Hatch.”

“Beautiful and carefully crafted immersive experience - the puzzles are fitting and bespoke to the theme. The heart that went into designing this room is insane. It reminds me of why I fell in love with escape rooms in the first place. Brain Games continues to outdo themselves with every new room.”

“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!”

“The most visually stunning escape room I’ve ever experienced. The gameplay was very novel and entertaining, and I never felt like there was any boring parts of the puzzle. Would highly recommend hypnotic!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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”

“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!”

“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!”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!).”
