The Man From BeyondStrange Bird ImmersiveEscape roomIRLThis is one of my most favorite experiences of all time! I don't normally expect to be deeply emotionally invested in an escape room's story, but this one tugged at my heartstrings and made me want to cry. The actors were incredible! There's so much to do in this room, and would definitely recommend giving it a try.
Hope EndThe Ministry Of PeculiaritiesEscape roomIRLThis experience was incredibly fun! From the moment we stepped through the front doors, it felt like we had walked into a completely different world. The interactions with characters and seeing the story unfold as we progressed was really memorable, and not something I've experienced before. Would definitely recommend for any escape room enthusiast to try!
The Last SupperQuest TavernEscape roomIRLThis was an incredibly unique experience! Anxiety was sky-high, but I had a lot of fun and thought our hosts did an amazing job. I wouldn't recommend taking someone that easily paralyzed by fear though haha
Project MinotaurQuest Room - HollywoodEscape roomIRLI had a lot of anxiety before going into this escape room. Reading the waiver alone was nerve-wracking. Despite all of the worry, it turned out to be one of my favorite experiences! Playthrough was unique and fun, and following and participating in the story was really memorable. It's probably not for the faint of heart, but it's a great game if you can muster up the courage!

Whatever Happened To The Garretts?Maze Rooms - West LAEscape roomIRLMy friends and I thought this room was quite challenging. There were a few puzzles that we thought weren't clear on how to complete, and did need guidance. However, set design was well-done and was still an interesting experience.
ExcaliburMindTrap Escape Room - MurrietaEscape roomIRLI have mixed feelings about my experience with this escape room. In general, I've enjoyed all of the MindTrap rooms. Set design always impresses me and the puzzles have been fun. However, this time, we had a really poor host. My team and I are pretty experienced players, so we don't often ask for hints unless we're really stuck. But our host was basically talking us through the entire game. We were really exhausted by the constant chatter and didn't feel accomplished in any way. I would still come back because I like this business, but I hope this doesn't happen again.
ArenaMindTrap Escape Room - MurrietaEscape roomIRLI was really nervous about doing this escape room, hoping it wasn't overwhelming to the point that I wanted to tap out, but my friends and I actually had a shockingly good time! The puzzles and tasks weren't very difficult once we were able to get a grip on our nerves. Our hosts were great as well!
PlaygroundThe Escape Game - The GalleriaEscape roomIRLThis was my first experience with The Escape Game and I was thoroughly impressed! The set design and gameplay was well-done and a lot of fun!
