Jewel of the SeaIntrepid Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLAs a veteran game master, every room blew me away at Intrepid, but none quite so like this room. The game master was so nice and funny, and highly encouraged banter (which I love). Trying to recommend just one room at Intrepid is difficult (so do all of them!) but if you can only do one, do this one.
Mafia HeistEscapeX Rooms - IrvineEscape roomIRL(I played this room 3 years ago and only just realized I can post in depth reviews on this app) I really enjoyed the aesthetic of this room, but I didn't personally enjoy how the hint system worked. My group and I got stuck for large portions of time, and it felt like artificial difficulty. The game master was incredibly sweet and definitely made the experience that much better.
CSI: HollywoodPuzzle Workshop - Costa MesaEscape roomIRLThis room is very basic, but I think it serves as proof that with some creativity and determination, that a Gen 1 room doesn't actually hold you back from making something really cool and immersive. There is a twist about half way through that blows my mind every time I think about this room, and if you play any room from this location, I highly recommend this one.
