Ghost PatrolTrivium GamesEscape roomIRLYet another game in my queue for so long. It did not disappoint, it had unique mechanisms to make you investigate and play more, with everything. When a game is “top” for so long, it makes me think if they also get old, this one does not. Play if you’re in the area, this very well-thought and well-attended baby of the owners deserve your full heart …AND SOUL.
Hope EndThe Ministry Of PeculiaritiesEscape roomIRLIt was worth waiting years for meeting Dolores. It was a real experience, not just escape from a mansion. Before then, I was tiny bit upset with The Ministry to require at least 6 people to play this highly scored room, now I understand that we needed every person. The moment you ribg the door, we started “feeling” (scared, laughing, confused, betraying, empathizing, wondering, …) and that upbeat flow never stopped, till we leave the building. Do it, play the room, and send my regards to my new best friend 🙈
Treasure IslandBrain Games Escape RoomEscape roomIRLThe rooms are very well thought, every little detail tells you something. We were super hype and did the room with very high energy, escaping 2 people in 53 mins. There are so much to do, so I suggest more. It was super fun though :)
The Weeping WitchCross Roads Escape GamesEscape roomIRLThe ambiance, props, story, mirrors, smoke, table… everything amazing, but HER! I don’t get scared easily, she was freaking real! Play it if you want to immerse yourself into an unreal room …trapped with her. Would I do it again? Yes. Did it set my bar as “is your live actor as scary as that witch?” for the next rooms? Absolutely yes.
Irvine School of Wizardry and the Goblin's SecretsHidden DonkeyEscape roomIRLI might have loved this room if I haven’t done Hidden Donkey’s other room. I had so much high expectations for this room so we delayed doing it with our out-of-country friends. It is not a disappointing room but some story elements don’t fit well. Also trying to make the room replayable by fitting multiple stories greatly takes away from the experience. There is just so much potential after the first room that I feel they couldn’t keep up with the imagination in this room.
The Hex RoomCross Roads Escape GamesEscape roomIRLI need to start by saying that you may have absolutely different experiences and reviews for this game if you play different roles. I was the detective, and I LOVED IT. If I was anything else I knew I would be disappointed 🤣 But the beauty is, everyone in the team was fit for their roles! I don’t know how the GM assigned in the little time she had, but it was perfect. Anyway, one room was broken and it needed to be reset. The props and ambiance is nothing like The Weeping Witch, but I loved my phone and it was enough 🤣 This game also requires constant GM attention, so absolutely kudos to them!
Irvine School Of Wizardry And The Dragon WandHidden DonkeyEscape roomIRLThey really created a wizardry school! The atmosphere, the décor, the music, the personas, the spell/potion books, everything was out of this world. We really enjoyed being transported there. Puzzles are mostly linear and easy, but they are very unique and… organic :) The last room was a bit rushed with only one big puzzle, nevertheless it complemented the rest very well too. The GM was a sweetheart, complementing our over-enthusiastic mood for finally doing this room :) Overall, do it! Not all rooms need to melt your brains out with difficulty.
The Tipsy TailorIntrepid Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLJessica, our GM, was awesome! The room, meh… not super creative or different, the chaos at the end was not really our jam.
InksidiousEscape Room 66 - Los AngelesEscape roomIRLIt is absolutely a unique experience, the whole perception of your world changes twice during the game. We started slow but didn’t give up, you can finish it with exponential speed. Our GM was an amazing gem during our escape, her texts and clues were so encouraging ❤️ There is not much of a story but the atmosphere is really well thought and designed. Just a tiny recommendation, if your color percetion is not good, go with a friend whose is ;)
The Curse Of The Black KnightEscapeX Rooms - IrvineEscape roomIRLThe production value of the room is so high! You really teleport into the castle, as if you’re a part of the story. They even have thin screen holograms! Our GM was also amazing. The room is relatively easy, fun but easy, you always know what to do. We escaped with 20+ mins remaining, we spent that time chatting with our GM — best 20 mins spent! He was so knowledgeable not only about their rooms but every room from LA to Temecula! Such a pleasure to meet a fellow escape room connoisseur! Just to emphasize again, decór, story, plot, puzzles, all so in harmony.
