The Weeping WitchCross Roads Escape GamesEscape roomIRLThis room is absolutely terrifying! The atmosphere is so well done, there are so many impressive high-tech details, I am just blown away! That witch is hideous and I never want to see her again, but I’m definitely going back and bringing all my friends. Kaylie was phenomenal and very committed to her character! If you have her as your game guide, you’re in for a great time! I struggled a lot more with this escape room than I usually do, so be prepared for a challenge. However, definitely take advantage of hints because Weeping Witch has by far the best and most creative hint system I’ve ever seen! I am absolutely in love!
Haunted MansionDisney World - Seven Seas DriveHauntHaunted houseI can’t hate on Haunted Mansion, but it just doesn’t have the charm of the original.
Haunted MansionOogie Boogie Bash at Disneyland ResortHauntHaunted houseWhat can I say? It’s the Haunted Mansion! It’s the most iconic haunted house ride of all time, and the California location is by far the best one. This attraction never feels dated and it’s arguably better during the holiday season with the Nightmare Before Christmas theme.

Black and White CafeMindFox EscapeEscape roomIRLVery cute theming and very visually impressive. It’s amazing how vibrant and alive the room feels despite being devoid of color! It’s a single room, but with a decent amount of puzzles packed in. I wouldn’t go with more than two people, maybe three if you’re beginners.
Hijinx at Joffre ManorNerdy by Nature Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLPossibly the best use of space I’ve seen in an escape room. I was shocked by how many hidden rooms and passageways there were to find. The Scooby Doo references were very clever, and no detail was spared. There’s a lot to do, so I would recommend at least four players.
PlaygroundThe Escape Game - IrvineEscape roomIRLThis escape room was everything I hoped it would be! Each room is very unique, and you can’t help but smile the entire time! It just oozes charm. I would not recommend going in with less than four players. The puzzles are not very difficult, but there are a ton of them, and you will not escape unless you divide and conquer! We made it out with just three of us, but one of my friends is a spaz. You won’t be able to resist climbing on the jungle gym, but try not to waste too much time!
TerrifierHalloween Horror NightsHauntHaunted houseThis was my favorite house this year, which really surprised me because I’m not a massive fan of Terrifier. It was less scary than I thought it would be, but a lot more fun! Each scene was super distinct and memorable, and the attention to detail was immaculate! I always love some good gross-out horror when it’s done with a slightly comedic tone. All of the Arts also really sold their performances.

The EscapeThe Unlockables - San DiegoEscape roomIRLThe separated start for this game was it’s biggest charm, especially because they have five different areas to handcuff your group! We did it with eight intelligent people, and we blew through it very quickly, and only used a hint or two. The room is designed for a bigger crowd, so I would say the ideal number is probably five or six.
