Hope EndThe Ministry Of PeculiaritiesEscape roomIRLMy favorite escape room in LA! The story! The puzzles! The incredible artists who guided us through. 10/10
The Weeping WitchCross Roads Escape GamesEscape roomIRLWeeping Witch was Magic! Like truly one of the greatest experiences we’ve had in LA. From the moment we met Molly, our GM, we were in such good hands. The room is gorgeously constructed, puzzles are very very cool, ambience is spoooooky, creepy fun. We laughed, we screamed, we had a blast! DO THIS ROOM!
Election DayAppleseed AvenueEscape roomOther Wowowow! Appleseed Ave. reminded me that some of the most fun, joyful and quietly innovative art is being done at escape rooms. This was one of the most fun evenings I’ve had in awhile! It was start to finish so fun, hilarious, and clever! The game mechanics and format are just so brilliant. The production value is outstanding and you can tell that so much thought and love went into making Election Day. Our GM, Adam was FANTASTIC! Tbh I think I’m gonna bring some more folks and play the part I didn’t play this time. GAH! Just GO.
Stash HouseStash HouseEscape roomIRLThis room has a lot of hype and as such, we were super excited to do this! However, we had a pretty negative experience. Our team of fairly experienced players got bottlenecked in one puzzle for 45 minutes bc it was functionally hard to complete; we understood the puzzle but just couldn’t functionally complete it. This, we ran out of time and the GM walked us through the second half of the game in a really rushed manner as the next group was knocking on the door. Felt a bit broken.
The Ghost Of MentryvilleArcane Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLWhat a fabulous, immersive room!! The story was top notch and it was such an interesting and fresh take on a Gen1 room. LOVE the live actor at the center of the narrative AND gameplay (shout out to Jack!). Love the story and the brilliant use of every inch of a small space. One of my fav experiences for sure!
Whatever Happened To The Garretts?Maze Rooms - West LAEscape roomIRLThis was a memorable one! Great set design and a story full of some fun twists!
Something's Out There!Maze Rooms - West LAEscape roomIRLA gloriously frightful experience. With this one, Maze Rooms manages to accomplish making players feel like they’re in the middle of a scary movie without the use of a live actor. The scenic design and soundscape make you feel like you’re being watched…or worse, hunted. It’s got some fun jumpscares, excellent puzzles and a nerve wracking storyline. Highly recommend!
Wizard's Treasure60Out - HollywoodEscape roomIRLWhat a DELIGHT! This room was so much fun! You can tell that it was made with a lot of love. My husband and I decided to try it last minute and so glad we did. Puzzles were super innovative (only one lock and key and it was in-world). Just found ourselves giggling the whole way through!
Da Vinci's Secret60Out - HollywoodEscape roomIRLThis room was SO fun and really well designed! There were two of us and it flowed great. Rachel was a wonderful GM! She made it so fun! We’re coming back to do Dr. Psycho next!
One Way TicketMaze Rooms - HollywoodEscape roomIRLThis room was okay! Set design is cool, but the puzzles were just okay and the flow was a little awkward. Also, for such a solid immersive set design-it was strange to be handed a walkie talkie.
