THE BASEMENT: A Live Escape Room Experience
Overwhelmingly Positive
12909 Foothill Blvd, Sylmar, CA 91342, USA
- Escape room
- IRL
“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.”

- Escape room

“What a lovely lovely room! Perigee was an incredible GM/Sammy. The room blew us away with what could be possible in a small space. We had so much fun with such a story driven room, strong acting, and solid puzzling. Definitely play with just 2 enthusiasts or 4 beginners. Nothing was difficult and everything flowed beautifully. So much fun!!”

- Escape room

“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.”

24007 Ventura Blvd UNIT 130, Calabasas, CA 91302, USA
- Escape room
- IRL
“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!).”

“The study was my first room at the basement. It was amazing in every way. Perfect amount of scary and challenging. The actor made the room so immersive and was so kind after the game. I love this location and cannot wait to do more rooms here”

THE BASEMENT: A Live Escape Room Experience
Very Positive
12909 Foothill Blvd, Sylmar, CA 91342, USA
- Escape room
- IRL
“Very unique take on a mostly singular room. Do note: Wear shoes you do not mind getting a little wet (~0.5-1" of water). Loved the unique system of having to traverse horizontally in the dark. Make sure you do NOT have to anything loose or in your pockets of anything you do not want to lose or get wet! Helps if you have at least one member in your group that is in relatively reasonable shape with the ability to pull yourself with only upper body strength. Very immersive with tech that as a career technician, they designed the puzzle layout with some sort of reasoning of troubleshooting like in the real world.”

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!
