Irvine School of Wizardry and the Goblin's SecretsHidden DonkeyEscape roomIRLThis room exceeded my expectations by far!!! The set design, puzzle flow, and attention to detail were fantastic. Another banger by Hidden Donkey, for sure.
The Weeping WitchCross Roads Escape GamesEscape roomIRLA fantastic example of an escape room that does live actors right. I would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys an immersive set design, medium difficulty puzzles, and lots of jump scares!
The Hex RoomCross Roads Escape GamesEscape roomIRLThe puzzles are a bit outdated, however, Hex Room has something so charming about it that stands the test of time. The different roles give it a convenient replay-ability aspect. I would definitely come back to play another role!
Irvine School Of Wizardry And The Dragon WandHidden DonkeyEscape roomIRLSuch a fun room regardless of age/experience level. The puzzles were so excited for someone who grew up loving Harry Potter. Staff was also amazing!
The Tipsy TailorIntrepid Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLThe Tipsy Tailor is exactly what I want when I’m looking to play an escape room! There were plenty of puzzles to keep busy with, the set design was so intricate and immersive, and Jessica was fantastic. 🦆 I’m looking forward to their new room coming soon!!!
The Curse Of The Black KnightEscapeX Rooms - IrvineEscape roomIRLSuper fun and immersive Gen 1 room. I love the theme and the tiny space available was beautifully taken advantage of. I wouldn’t recommend this room for more than 4 players, it gets quite tight.
The Mad RapperScenario Escape RoomEscape roomIRLSuch a breath of fresh air!!! This room is exactly what I wanted to be. The puzzles tied into the story very well and the soundtrack elevates the perfect amount of immersion.
The CourtyardTHE BASEMENT: A Live Escape Room Experience - SylmarEscape roomIRLThis may be an unpopular opinion based on the people who I’ve chatted with about this room, but this is my favorite room at The Basement! The Courtyard may be one of the most immersive escape rooms I’ve played thus far. The set was so well done and the perfect amount of eerie, it was very suspenseful, and the puzzles were the perfect difficulty for my group. I would recommend coming with 4 players or so because my party of 2 found ourselves running back and forth a lot 😅 Finally, my favorite part of the room would have to be our actor! They were incredible and elevated the room to the next level. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a dose of creepiness. The Courtyard lives rent free in my brain.
The Magic CottageInfinity EscapeEscape roomIRLA whimsical and high quality escape room for novices, enthusiasts, and families just looking for a good time alike. I’ve played through this room twice and it was just as fun the second time! Staff has always been wonderful at Infinity!
ZoeEscapade GamesEscape roomIRLWent in expecting an escape room, but all I experienced was a haunt with a few mediocre and very simple puzzles :( if we’re talkin HAUNTS, Zoe is great (very immersive environment and fantastic actors), but its just not an escape room.
