Hope EndThe Ministry Of PeculiaritiesEscape roomIRLMy favorite escape room in LA! The story! The puzzles! The incredible artists who guided us through. 10/10
Treasure IslandBrain Games Escape RoomEscape roomIRLThis is a fun room with a cool set and a very hilarious storyline. It was unfortunate that a couple important mechanisms failed; I think with some updates it’d be fab!
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.
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!
Flynn's ArcadeBrain Games Escape RoomEscape roomIRLThis was SUCH a cool and fun room! LOVED the sets and the puzzles were very unique!!
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!
Big Brain Labs60Out - HollywoodEscape roomIRLThis was a very cool room and you can feel and see that a lot of love was put into its creation and build. It was not my favorite experience as I think some of the puzzles were flawed (one in particular felt v out of place) but the set design is FANTASTIC and I do believe it’s worth doing.
