Villains VendettaExodus Escape Room - Anaheim Hills, CAEscape roomIRLWas a super fun room! Definitely so fun for all ages!
Starship | Interstellar EscapeWild Goose Escapes - FullertonEscape roomIRLMy group made it out with no clues and almost 5 mins left. This room was okay. The set design was awesome but the puzzles were lacking. This felt more of like a giant game that was time consuming instead of puzzles that needed real skill. You ever been to Disneyland and gotten on smugglers run? This is the exact same thing just turned into an escape room. Storyline kind of feels like rise of the resistance. There was some technical difficulties which is valid, this is a high tech room and it’s still newer but I just wish the gm was paying more attention. We solved a puzzle but the “scan” aspect of it wasn’t working so we moved on as we thought it wasn’t important and 10 mins later we get our gm asking us “have you done this?” Which we explained we did it like 10 mins ago and got what we needed and then she triggered it for us on her end. Was annoying because we waisted a lot of time and if they had been paying attention to our game they could have triggered that part sooner. We felt kind of rushed as they also multiple times they came over the intercom and told us they wanted us to skip puzzles and just finish the mission but we didn’t wanna skip anything. We needed up skipping a puzzle which in post game we went over and I did that thing I needed to do but it didn’t work and again they didn’t see us try. I explained what I did, they tried to do it and it didn’t work for them either. Was kind of annoying because again, if they would have been watching then they could have triggered that part of the room? Wasn’t the best experience for our group.
Scooby-Doo™ and the Spooky Castle AdventureEscapology - Universal CityEscape roomIRLThe room itself was pretty straight forward, good room for kids and first timers. It’s an okay room if you are an enthusiast. What was lacking was the customer interactions. One of my favorite things about escape rooms are the game masters. Usually there’s a little conversation before and/or after the game but this game felt very rushed. From the moment we entered the lobby until we left, the GMs seemed annoyed of our presence. As soon as the game was over, GM just opened the door to let us out. No celebration, no opening to questions, nothing at all. I know that the GMs don’t owe us that but I’ve also done 60 rooms and have never felt so unwelcome. On the way out my friend told the GMs “thank you. Have a good night” and not a single person responded. I wanted to do more rooms here but the rushing us out of the building made me want to never come back. Super disappointed in the lack of care.
