40 ThievesMindTrap Escape Room - TemeculaEscape roomIRLBy far my favorite escape room! The set design is top notch, unreal the level of detail they put into this room. The intro show when you first get into the room is one of the coolest things iv seen, literally felt like we were at a Disneyland show/ride 😂. They did a great job breaking out so many different rooms into the space they had. The puzzles force you to work together and communicate as a team, rather than one person power housing through them all, which I liked. Overall, highly recommend doing this room. The tech is next level, you’ll be sitting there with your jaw dropping at certain levels.
Moriarty's ManorMindFox EscapeEscape roomIRLThis room was in my top 5 rooms. We did this room with a team of 4 and got through the room with a few minutes to spare. We needed one hint which mainly confirmed that we were working on the right puzzle. The puzzles were really immersed with the theme of the room and it forces your team to communicate and do things together in order to get to the next step. There are times were we split up to divide and conquer different puzzles, which leads to more clues.. but the room design eventually forces you to come back together in order to get through a big puzzle. The designers did a really good job with the overall flow of the room. I highly recommend this to others!!
Irvine School Of Wizardry And The Dragon WandHidden DonkeyEscape roomIRLThe tech is really amazing! The interactive props with the different pieces to the rooms really made you feel immersed in the environment. High recommend this room!!
Black and White CafeMindFox EscapeEscape roomIRLGreat room, they did a great job fitting the theme! Puzzles were creative and fun! We did it with 4 people and we finished pretty quick, but the difficultly is perfect for people that are in the 1-10 escape room range. Mindfox has amazing rooms so I definitely recommend!
The NeighborSteal and EscapeEscape roomIRLThe tech in this room is pretty awesome! They did a great of utilizing all the rooms multiple times to make the layout feel big. The use of their AI adds a pretty cool aspect to the game too! Definitely recommend! There are some puzzles in the middle of the game that are non-linear, but I would say most of the room is linear. Overall highly recommend!
The Magic CottageInfinity EscapeEscape roomIRLThis has to be one of my top favorite rooms. The set design was amazing! The interactive props makes the environment that much more immersive! There are a tons of puzzles, not super difficult, it just takes time to finish them all, which I really enjoyed. At the end it felt like we accomplished so many things! This is also one of the few rooms that has a clear interactive story that’s easy and clear to follow. This room isn’t scary at all. There are some amazing room features that occur when you finish certain puzzles and they are like Disneyland status good. We did the Irvine Wizards room right before this one, and this room was superior in my opinion, since the set designs were similar but the amount of puzzles made the experience that much better. This room needs to be at the top of people’s lists!
The EscapeThe Unlockables - San DiegoEscape roomIRLSuper immersive and loved starting out in separated from the team. This room requires lots of teamwork and communication, which was great. The room is non-linear, meaning some puzzles in the beginning aren’t needed until the end, or false clues that aren’t used, which stumped us and burned 15+ minutes. Overall, I loved the challenge, and I loved they really utilized the space! Definitely recommend this for intermediate players that have completed >5 rooms.
Hunting Dracula [Formerly "V"]Locked AdventuresEscape roomIRLAmazing theme! Probably one of my favorite escape room thus far. The amount of detail is pretty amazing. I would say the difficulty is harder than the average room, but not too hard. Everything was definitely solvable, it just took time and communication with your team members. The amount of puzzles is crazy! Its defiantly a divide and conquer type of gameplay. We’ve only played 7 escape rooms and we got in 69 minutes, using only 2 hints (we used hints because we thought we were behind on time, but looking back we didn’t need them). Overall, highly recommend this room!!!
The Lost ExpeditionSteal and EscapeEscape roomIRLFun room! Definitely more on the challenging side since the puzzles require good communication for each assigned role. The tech isn’t super advanced but the puzzles are creative and require close attention to detail!
Dr. Hader’s Cartoon WorldScenario Escape RoomEscape roomIRLThe wall graffiti was amazing. The normal game puzzles were a medium difficulty, we finished that in 40 minutes. The bonus puzzles were super fun and were definitely a lot harder to figure out. The time just expired as we were entering the answer to last bonus puzzle. Overall, I would definitely recommend this room!
