“This games highlights are the surprises with set design! Like most reviews said here …the story line really doesn’t make any sense and I was scratching my head wondering if we accidentally ended up in the wrong room but either way / we had fun!! We didn’t know it was over though bc the last room was very mid compared to the MINDBLOWING adventure and fun of all the other rooms!!!”

“This room felt like it was going to be short and then turned into so much more! I could see why people would run out of time assuming it was nearly over when it's not. The puzzles were challenging enough that it took some problem solving to work out. It's a linear room, so smaller numbers are better in it. But it felt so immersive and just kept getting cooler. The ending is so worth it, too.”

“A very, very fun and high-quality room! There was one puzzle we got COMPLETELY stuck on (felt like there should have been more in-room clues for it), but our game master was amazing and helped us through it. I’d highly recommend it for team of 4+ (we played with 2). Great set design!”

“Definitely challenging with two people as there is a lot to get through. We were a bit slow getting started, so we had to rush through the end. But we had so much fun. Rooms aren’t private, so we booked last minute to make sure it was just us, and I’m so glad we did.”

“Loved the variety of puzzles, both technical and mechanical. Really dislike the fact that the reservation isn’t private. We were a party of 3 but when we got there, 4 other people (3 of them children) had signed up. Seven was too many.”

“Pros: - Super high tech room - worth a heart❤️ - A plot twist! - Clever and unique puzzles - Friendly staff - Same day discounts Cons: - Relatively easy - They merge groups - Last box had been open before we solved it - Less number of puzzles, one of the rooms only has one puzzle - May get uncomfortable if you are 3+ people - No parking validation (14$)”

“I cannot recommend this room highly enough. It has a few fun jump scares. We had a great time figuring it out. The production value is unparalleled. The puzzles are fairly straightforward. Our crew completed the room in under 30 minutes. I do think we had too many people. This room would be best for 4 or 5.”

“This room was soo surprisingly fun!! I do have to say, who you go with makes a big difference for this one! I went with few friends and it was so much fun! Its not super high tech, but i think it fits the mood by not being so. Everything fit so well with the story, which i feel like is what is the most important thing for me when looking for fun escape rooms. I want to be immersed!! And i definitely was!”

“This is a great 45 minute room for beginners. Let’s get this out of the way - it’s expensive, too expensive for a 45 min room as it’s priced the same as a 60 min room. However the design is top notch and it’s very well done. Would highly recommend especially to families.”

“7.5/10 Fantastic experience. Puzzles were fun, innovative, and the atmosphere/set design was great. Just wish it was a bit longer. Only negative is the age of the room showed. Wear and tear on some puzzles. Experienced players you will get through this room fairly quickly.”

He was super accommodating to us and delivered true 10/10 customer service. It’s a shame this room is apparently being sold, so make sure to get it done while you can!”

Learn More About West LA Escape Rooms
Escape rooms have found a loving home on LA’s Westside. Since the first escape rooms arrived in Los Angeles in 2016, the film capital of the United States hasn’t stopped crafting these immersive puzzle experiences. In fact, Los Angeles proper is home to 49 different escape room venues and LA’s Westside offers a particularly exciting array of escape room experiences that are suitable for all tastes. 60 Out’s The Mystery of Senator Payne has been a fan favorite for years, and won a 2016 Golden Lock award.

With over 170 escape games in the entire area, the possibilities are nearly endless — you’ll find games with themes of horror, adventure, crime, espionage, and plenty you may not expect.
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!
