    Wizard Trials

    Wizard Trials

    PanIQ Room - West Hollywood

    • Escape room
    • IRL
    I've done close to 100 escape rooms, and PanIQ is EASILY one of my favorite places I've ever been to. The entire place is gorgeous + thoughtfully crafted to host parties of different sizes and experience levels. They have almost as many non-escape entertainment options as escape rooms, and the lounge/bar area is so photogenic it's absurd. The only places I've seen go the extra mile with their space like this were in Vegas. They just opened, so definitely check it out before it gets too busy!! Room Design: Excellent. The concepts are super fun and well thought out, and you can tell they built the rooms with a ton of attention to detail in the art and props. My group did the Wizard Trials room and Route 51 room, and we'll 100000% be back to do the rest. The puzzles were innovative and highly interactive. I would recommend Wizard Trials for a group with slightly more experienced solvers (intermediate) since the flow of the gameplay splits and converges at times. Staff: Excellent. SO kind and attentive, great energy. Shoutout to Sam, Joshua, and Kylie for taking good care of us!! Bonus 1: They have this awesome laser gun shooting gallery in the reception area that you can play with your friends while you're waiting?! It's genius. Perfect way to get hype and loosen up with a mini-game before the main event. Bonus 2: Private karaoke room!!! And a very pretty one at that - futuristic disco vibe (selfie lighting out the wazoo). Song book included K-pop and the Pokemon theme song! Bonus 3: A QUIZ ROOM! We only got a peek at the set, since it isn't open yet, but we nerded out nonetheless because it looks awesome. I don't know who's been listening in to our dreams of battling friends on a trivia game show, but they nailed it. Overall: 10/10 - just pop in for the vibes if you still need convincing. We'll be back!

I would recommend Route 51 for groups with people newer to escape rooms. Both were family friendly! Staff: Excellent. SO kind and attentive, great energy.
