40 ThievesMindTrap Escape Room - TemeculaEscape roomIRLSatisfying, nonlinear gameplay with creative and surprising room layout. Delightful use of technology; a couple locks but nothing diverted from the immersive experience. No one puzzle was especially difficult - but there were a healthy number of them. Many puzzles were tactile and many required cooperation. Lots of detail in design and some humorous puzzles/reveals. Highly recommend!
Moriarty's ManorMindFox EscapeEscape roomIRLFantastic game! Multi-sensory puzzles were challenging but made sense. We were impressed and delighted by the inventiveness of the mechanisms. One mechanism in particular was a real centerpiece and a blast to manipulate (can’t say more without spoiling it)! Puzzle environment was atmospheric but not overwhelmingly so. Our gracious game master Isabella provided exactly the right amount of nudging to get us through. Highly recommended!
Mutiny: Skull IslandEscape Games at the RiverEscape roomIRLImmersive experience, excellent finale, creative hinting
Black and White CafeMindFox EscapeEscape roomIRLCharming & clever! Gameplay was clear; all the tech worked nicely. Simple but not simplistic. GM Charlie was super friendly and provided just the right amount of assistance. We loved Moriarty and B&W Cafe, and we will definitely be back for your new room when it opens!
The NeighborSteal and EscapeEscape roomIRLWorked well with two people. My husband and I have done six escape rooms and this felt like just the right level of challenge and novelty for us. Really fun use of interactive technology. GM Kevin was helpful and welcoming. Highly recommended!
Heart Of Bastet [prev. Red Giant]Lara’s Labyrinth - San Diego [prev. Quest Room]Escape roomIRLWonderful atmosphere, fun puzzles (nothing too hard), and Whinney was an excellent GM! Really nice attention to detail in terms of the props. Well cared for. Fun reveals and payoffs. Nice variety of environments and puzzle types. Highly recommend!
The Family CabinQuicksand Escape GamesEscape roomIRLCute theme, fun puzzles with a sense of humor. Lots of puzzles and lots of locks but no one puzzle was especially hard. Has some wear and tear but over nostalgic and entertaining. Our GM was super nice and gave us a bit of extra time (which was especially generous because we were late due to traffic). Definitely recommend!
Speakeasy NouveauQuicksand Escape GamesEscape roomIRLCute game - very lock heavy. Logical flow. Had fun :)
7 Deadly SinsEscapology - Chula VistaEscape roomIRLFun! Not the hardest or most inventive but a really solid and well produced experience. Didn’t feel like the GMs were 100% watching only our game but we managed ok despite that. They were very friendly!
Haunted HouseEscapology - Chula VistaEscape roomIRLLove the atmosphere, and some of the puzzles solve payoffs were really enjoyable. Nice combo of types of puzzles. Well produced and fun. Not the most mind blowing or inventive but enjoyable nonetheless.
