While Hollywood boasts some the most famous attractions in the world, it is LA’s Westside that arguably showcases the soul of the city. From the beach cities of Santa Monica and Venice, to glamorous Beverly Hills, the Westside offers a wide array of experiences for all to behold, including some of the city’s best escape rooms. If art and architecture is your passion, The Getty Center is a must visit. Or if a relaxing day of shopping and high-end cuisine gets you excited, then the Third Street Promenade might be for you.

The year was 1984. Allan and Ann Garrett and their son, Matthew, disappeared without a trace. Now, nearly four decades later, the family is still missing and the case has gone cold. You must enter their old abandoned house, search for clues, and hopefully unravel the mystery to; Whatever happened to the Garretts?

Peak Nostalgia. If you like stranger things than you will love this. Puzzles were very creative. Some easy. Some a little more challenging. I can see why people love this room. The game play flowed. Set design was top notch

Whatever Happened To The Garretts?

Escape room

It's been over a year since your friend has gone missing, however you've never stopped searching. Newly discovered photos and information has led you to the largest wetlands in south central Louisiana. Knowing that your friend is a dedicated hiker and daring explorer, all signs point to the Haddonfield Territory, a sovereign region, off the grid, at the base of the Appalachian Mountains.

It's uncharted, dangerous and uninhabitable. To make matters worse, you've learned that a string of missing person cases litter the surrounding area leaving locals to believe that there's more than just the dense thicket and treacherous wildlife within. For you, the path is clear: If you want to find your friend, you must head to Louisiana and venture deep inside the Haddonfield Territory.

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.

Something's Out There!

Enter the game where you become the player in the world's first active gaming facility. Dodge, climb, problem-solve, and laugh, as you and your friends move between challenges. Each dynamic game room has interactive technology that reacts in real-time, ensuring an adrenaline-filled adventure!  Activate offers high-tech games that test your team’s physical and mental agility across a wide variety of real-life challenges. Once inside, you and your team choose from hundreds of combinations of games and difficulty levels, each lasting one to three minutes.

Not an escape room but an interactive arcade. It’s the LED room you see in ads on social media. 

Visited multiple times. Has the LED floor room, plus several other games to play. Basketball, throwing, laser room (sooo much fun), color match room, and a couple more. No matter who goes there will be a couple rooms that will appeal to everyone.

It gets crazy busy during the weekends. But weekdays are usually fine without too many crowds.

As a special ops agent, covert investigations across the globe are nothing out of the ordinary. But your routine search of a spice market leads to an unexpected discovery…Now you’re left to combat an international crisis that threatens the state of the world as we know it. You’ll need to harness all your tactical skills and training if you’re ever going to put a stop to this global catastrophe. Through all the twists and turns you have to ask yourself…how deep does the conspiracy go?

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!

Your friends and you have been caught in a blizzard amidst snow-covered rocks. The abandoned hut on the slope seems to be your only chance to wait out the storm.

I’ll start with the story doesn’t make sense and honestly it doesn’t even matter. Still an amazing game. Puzzles are fun. Many different elements And one of the most unique set designs I’ve ever seen. Game master was amazing. Highly recommend this room. I would play it again. Excited to try the other ones
