Badass. I shy away from live actors usually because they will interrupted my train of thought constantly, not here. This room is absolutely amazing.

First time trying an immersive experience and it was definitely a step up from the “normal” escape room experience.

By far my favorite room in SoCal and a must play if you are in the area. The moment you are outside the room you are immersed, and that is thanks to the incredible job done by the live actors (even the GM). From start to finish was like a roller coaster and was filled with laughs and memories I will never forget. Shoutout to Emma and North for being such awesome characters!!! Will say this is more of an immersive experience/investigation rather than a try and escape kind of thing.
Gameplay
This is a room where the more you put into it the more you will get out of it. It really depends on your interactions with the Live actor/GM because, without your interaction they can't make the best experience possible. I was lucky enough to bring the best people possible for this that interacted with the Live actors a lot and made the experience a lot more enjoyable. I will say puzzles were a little bit above average in terms of creativeness. Set design fit the theme well but, there wasn't anything that really stuck out but, it was enough to push the narrative and have flow I would say. It really is just to complement the interactions you have with the Live Actors. Puzzles also had a good flow to them. I hate when puzzles don't really tell you how to solve them and you have to look around for some obscure thing that barely relates to your current puzzle. I can say with this room every puzzle told you how to solve them within itself which sometimes you can't say with other rooms.
Atmosphere
Absolutely perfect. More than perfect. Even after I couldn't stop gushing about how well the world was build and the characters we interacted with. Very few games accomplish immersing you so deep into the story and I really applaud the team at Hope End for creating something so immersive.

BLEW ME AWAY! This was such an immersive room with incredible actors and the puzzles were soooo good! The puzzles flowed perfectly with the story and this was one of the few places where I really felt involved with the story.

Hope End is an absolute masterpiece that elevates the escape room genre through exceptional immersive theater. The actors deliver knockout performances that make every moment feel real and engaging. This isn't just solving puzzles - it's being part of a living story where your interactions truly matter. A must-play experience that shows what escape rooms can be when taken to the next level.
