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 :)
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 Nest [Immersive Theatre]Hatch EscapesEscape roomOther Liking or hating this experience highly depends on your expectations. If you like pain, living the pain of someone else through every state of their life, smelling and hearing their struggle at every corner, then this is for you. If you are looking for having fun or a scary ride or clever puzzles, nope. Also this is quite different from the earlier Nest, as there are no live actors. You’re alone in a confined space as if everything may crumble in a second. The set production is incredible, every little detail is telling a story, every space has a character, absolutely stunning environment creation. The very last part hits you hard and makes it so real, for all of us. So… no thanks, I want to be impressed not depressed.
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 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.
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.
Whatever Happened To The Garretts?Maze Rooms - West LAEscape roomIRLI had hesitations taking my parents to this room, one of which has never been to an escape room before. I wanted her first experience to be magical… oh boy, I couldn’t have chosen a better room than this. The experience is really transforming throughout the journey, be quick, be observant, and just step on Garrets’ footsteps :) We escaped with only 3 clues and the GM said the escape rate is 37%, so if you can escape, kudos!
EdelineCloud EscapeEscape roomIRLBefore I experienced the game, I was questioning how the room has so many good scores and no awards (yet?). After the room, I get it, it leaves a mark on you… It was a beautiful experience where the integrity of the story, theme, puzzles, personas, music, and everything was perfect. It is spooky, especially if you are not a fan of dolls, or darkness. Puzzles were very interactive and creative but a bit on the easy side. There was one puzzle that we started attacking and it get triggered before we finished it, then the GM told us that certain pieces were enough to pass. Onto the story, poor Emma… it was certainly heavy. We needed time to heal after the room. The resolution was beautiful and hopeful for sure, but it needed to be extended to a few more steps so that we can also get over the heaviness. In any case, a unique room that I recommend to everyone. Hugs to Edeline.
Something's Out There!Maze Rooms - West LAEscape roomIRLWith all reviews and recognitions, we had high expectations from this room. At the end, it was meh. I guess if you like jump scares you’d particularly enjoy this one, but there is no unique puzzle, flow, game, etc. Mostly locks and putting things in place. The room was not reset properly, one shelf was open, so the GM told us that we can’t work on it yet. There was also another puzzle where we unlocked something and we were told to not pay attention to it, although we think it should have contained something to do with external lights. The sound system that GMs use is also not much audible so we keep repeating and assuming things… Both GMs were ok and helpful, but there was another staff member that came to us after we escaped and asked “have you taken one of the locks?” … Excuse me?! That type of behavior was very off-putting, we waited until she found it in the room, right above the box… I don’t want to reflect that last bit to the game, so overall, it was an ok experience.
Mystery At Innsmouth: An Official Arkham Horror Escape RoomHourglass EscapesEscape roomIRLIt was a nice and easy room. AH story and easter eggs were lovely — hi my desr Cthulhu! The game was very easy as all connected objects are marked by the same symbols.
