Ink & Ashes
Exodus Escape Room
Escape room
IRL
Between 👍 and ❤️ but rounded up based on the strength & number of puzzles, overall production value, and tech that all worked. We played as a team of 3 experienced enthusiasts and got out with just 5:40 left, so you know it was a good room. We also did Clark’s Crazy Christmas last year in this same space, and agree that this is a new room worth doing even though the space feels familiar and a couple of puzzles were similar. Overall, the the storyline is completely different and the vast majority of puzzles were new.

We enjoyed this room. I’m between a 👍 and a ❤️ but rounded up bc the atmosphere was good and the tech all worked. I just wish there were a couple more puzzles or some more varied puzzles. This is why I liked Museum of History better, which was a clear ❤️ for me. We did this as a group of 2 enthusiasts and got out with about 10 minutes to spare.

Fun room, although we all liked Prison Break a bit better. The decor was great and on-theme, and we enjoyed most of the puzzles, but we did feel a little let down by the ending, which felt anticlimactic. Still, this room is definitely worth doing, and Escape Room 66 is a wonderful mom & pop company worth supporting! We did this room as a team of 3 enthusiasts who mostly stuck together so none of us would miss anything and so we wouldn’t finish the room too quickly, and we still finished it with about 18 minutes to spare. So don’t rush through this room!

We are enthusiasts who’ve done 135+ rooms, and we live in SoCal. We reviewed the 2022 TERPECA list and saw this room was ranked 285 and among the relatively few U.S. rooms on that list, so we thought we ought to try it since we’d done every other SoCal room on that list. Overall, it was a good room with puzzles that flowed well and tech that all worked. It wasn’t “super amazing wow” but definitely a solid room. The decor fit the theme well. There was only one puzzle that we thought could’ve been better done with easy-to-get props that would’ve helped with making the logical connection, but that’s not a big deal. Overall, it’s above average, and I probably would’ve liked it more if it were just my 40th room. I’d still recommend it, especially for enthusiasts who want to take newer escapists to a solid experience!

We’ve done over 135 rooms and are a bit jaded these days, but we really enjoyed this room! Even though it had a lot of 1st gen puzzles, it was still super fun and flowed very well. Totally worth your time if you enjoy this theme! We went as a team of 4 (2 enthusiasts and 2 newbies), and we did not rush to get through it (e.g., we avoided dividing and conquering too much because this way everyone gets to see/work on all the puzzles/games and no one misses out on parts of the room). The atmosphere was perfect, and we enjoyed the variety of puzzles. We loved that there was very minimal search-and-find, and there were no red herrings or time-wasting tedious tasks. The game master/game show host is inside the room with you, but they totally respected our wishes for no hints and just smiled at us to keep the positive energy going while letting us do our thing. Overall, we loved this room and would highly recommend it for newbies and enthusiasts alike!

Really enjoyed this room! Great atmosphere, lots of puzzles, everything was logical and flowed well, and all the tech worked. This room was a bit more complex and had more puzzles than Isle of Wonder, so I liked it more—but both are great! We were a team of 2 enthusiasts, and we got out with about 10 minutes to spare.

This is a magic show, not an escape room! It was super awesome though!

Exodus Escape Room - Anaheim Hills, CA

If you did Christmas Mischief last year, I’d say skip this non-holiday version, as all the puzzles are basically the same. If you did not do Christmas Mischief, then definitely do this room. It’s cute and has a decent number of puzzles, although they’re mostly on the easy side. We were a team of 3 enthusiasts plus 1 newbie, and we basically each took turns solving each puzzle and then resetting it for another person to do—this way, everyone got to try every puzzle. Even then, we got out with 10-15 mins to spare. But everyone had a good time because it was a fun room.

Really enjoyed this room, but agree that the storyline doesn’t make a whole lot of sense 😂 But we don’t care about story and we love lots of puzzles, so this room was a good one for us! There’s a split start, and I always enjoy that challenge because it requires cooperative communication. There was also a good mix of different types of puzzles. We did it as a team of 3 enthusiasts who mostly stuck together on all the puzzles so we don’t miss out on anything or complete the room too quickly, and we got out with about 10 mins to spare. We probably would’ve gotten out more quickly if we were better at search and find! 😜

Fine but nothing mind-blowing. Minor spookiness at start only. Classic serial killer theme. Unfortunately, this room is too easy for enthusiasts, so don’t go with more than 2. We were a group of 4 (2 experienced and 2 intermediate), and we got out with 27 mins to spare. We wanted more puzzles to solve and fewer tasks that just took up time.
