40 ThievesMindTrap Escape Room - TemeculaEscape roomIRLNon-linear room with a lot of cool electronic puzzles. Introduction to the room was really fascinating and an experience I haven't seen in other rooms. The theme of the room was well executed and none of the puzzles felt frustrating. I drove to this room from San Diego and I can say the room was worth the drive.
The Edison Escape RoomPalace GamesEscape roomIRLAs of writing this review, this is my favorite escape room of all time. The price is higher than other escape rooms but it is very justified due to the overall experience as well as allotted time. The room was very well designed and utilizes fascinating technology that isn't seen in most other rooms. The room does require a bit of physical effort which made it all the more exciting.
Moriarty's ManorMindFox EscapeEscape roomIRLThe design of the room fit really well with the theme. It contained fascinating technology that separates it from older escape rooms. The room also featured a puzzle type that isn't normally seen in other rooms. Would recommend this room to anyone that loves Escape Rooms and or Sherlock Holmes.

The room featured some puzzles that aren't commonly seen in other escape rooms. The staff were really nice and accommodating. Finding the location and parking is easily available.
Black and White CafeMindFox EscapeEscape roomIRLExcellent room for a small group as the experience itself stays in one room. The room had a nice design and fit the theme very well. The room itself had a few unique features that I haven't seen before but it was nothing over the top. My favorite part of the room was the ending celebration which you don't get in other rooms.
Prison BreakEscape Room 66 - Laguna HillsEscape roomIRLThis is a new escape room place which also has a very nice interior design. The owner was very nice and accommodating which made the experience very enjoyable. This was my first split escape room and was executed pretty well. The room itself was small but still had a lot of puzzles to go through. I recommend this room to anyone looking for a teamwork based escape room.
Dollhouse V.2PuzzleMazementEscape roomIRLThe location itself was hard to find even with the help of google maps. The room is no longer available but the room itself had a cool theme. It took place in a house with three floors and a lot of puzzles so this would be a great room for a huge group. My game master didn't seem very accommodating and ended up making a racist remark which greatly influences my review.
High Noon SaloonLock It EscapeEscape roomIRLThe escape room was in a location that is a little hard to find. The game master was really nice and accommodating. Puzzles were about medium difficulty with the main challenge being all the small details in the room. The lighting made the experience a little difficult but it definitely added to the overall experience. The puzzles and locks were very traditional and the room itself isn’t very high tech. The main problem was the booking experience since they don’t have a website to book and you need to call them directly to book and confirm whether or not a given time slot is even open.
