Irvine School of Wizardry and the Goblin's SecretsHidden DonkeyEscape roomIRLThe set design, how immersive, and interactive the room was exceeded the expectations I had. Considering how well their other escape room is too, I knew they were going to make this one really special. I can’t wait for the secondary path they’re making for this room for replay-ability.
Jewel of the SeaIntrepid Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLI really appreciate rooms with great set design and I’d say this room was done pretty well. The room is best for 2-4 players in my opinion, just so it’s not crowded and everyone has something to do.
Meow! I'm a Cat.Exit Game OC - AnaheimEscape roomIRLLovely room for all ages, extra kid friendly! The puzzles are task based, not lock and keys. Owner explained their own pets as the inspiration for the room, so cute :) pretty interactive and cute
ElixirExodus Escape Room - Anaheim Hills, CAEscape roomIRLLoved the room overall, they had a great use of technology, and the puzzles and theme of the room were interesting. I’d say the difficulty rating is about a 7/10, I had only 1 other person in my group. Some of the puzzles being fairly vague contributed to its difficulty, I do think the room could be 75 min room instead. There was a technicality with how one of the puzzles operated, which hindered us from continuing, and wished our gm helped us with.
What Happened in Vegas?Wild Goose Escapes - Huntington BeachEscape roomIRLA major thing I’d suggest for this room is keeping your group to a minimum since it only consists of two rooms, so 2-4 players is perfect. This was a non linear room meaning multiple things could be solved at once. In my personal opinion I find these ones a bit harder to do compared to linear escape rooms, so I’d keep that in mind. I thought the game play was pretty good which included some creative puzzles and tasks to complete.
Principal's OfficeEscape Room Era - AnaheimEscape roomIRLFirst off, we loved our game master Diego they made the experience super fun for us…we laughed a lot because of them! I really enjoyed the theme of the room and the story line that came with it, and was super surprised by the end of it. I was also really impressed by the mode of communication we had with our game master with text messaging on our phones, it made the game so much more exciting and different from all the other escape rooms I’ve done. Highly recommend!!!
Pirates Of TortugaPanIQ Room - Long BeachEscape roomIRLNice room overall. Our gm was very kind and helpful when we needed a nudge. Wished there was better indication for when the next puzzle was activated. It might feel a but underwhelming especially for players that are more familiar with escape rooms, so it’s great for beginners. 5/10
Sky OdysseyMaze Rooms - VermontEscape roomIRLLoved the set design of the room a lot…pretty interactive, unique, and creative compared to some other escape rooms I’ve done. It’s nice and big and good for a large group. I’m not the biggest fan of the game play however. The game’s puzzles were linear but the puzzles around the room could be “activated” at any time. Meaning you could press a button and an audio would play while more audios around the room could be playing at the same time. It was a bit overwhelming at certain moments.
The Manor [prev. The Mystical Murderess]Entangled - Orange [prev. Code Red Escape Rooms]Escape roomIRLI loved the flow and types of puzzles in this room. The theme of it was especially exciting as well! I’ve done all the rooms at Entangled Escape Rooms and I’d say The Manor was my favorite out of all of them.
Christmas Escape RoomEscape Room Era - AnaheimEscape roomPop upThis was a fun little room, personality enjoyed doing it with a smaller sized group. Thought the game design and decor was cute considering it being a pop-up. Loved the bits of interactions with the game master… shoutout to Conor for making the experience enjoyable and adding to the fun! I’ve done all the rooms from this place except The Hide and they stay consistent with their interactive rooms and playability. Thanks to escape room era for doing this promotion for all to enjoy!
