40 ThievesMindTrap Escape Room - TemeculaEscape roomIRLThis game was really fun and the set was beautiful. I’d say it’s not very difficult but there were so so many puzzles to do so that made up for it. I did it with one other experienced player and we rapidly got through every puzzle and still made it out with only 3 minutes left!
The Weeping WitchCross Roads Escape GamesEscape roomIRLI’m not a huge fan of scary escape rooms but this one was really memorable and beautifully done! Team work and good communication is a must here. Was really impressed by the set design.
Project MinotaurQuest Room - HollywoodEscape roomIRLAdmittedly this wasn’t for me, but didn’t want to give it a thumbs down because it is high quality. If you’re wanting to experience a typical escape room, this is not the room to do. It’s way more of an interactive thrill theater situation. I don’t remember the puzzles being very satisfying or good. The actors were phenomenal and so much fun to interact with though! But if you’re like me and your brain starts short circuiting when you’re too scared, or you prefer lots of puzzle play, skip this one.
Ghost LightMyssTic RoomsEscape roomIRLBeautiful set. Some of the puzzles were more intellectual rather than intuitive, so my friend excelled while I was a bit lost in some sections. But it was fantastic!
Magic LampGnome & RavenEscape roomIRLThis room was absolutely gorgeous and a fun ambience. The puzzle quality was alright, I didn’t find it to flow super well and it did leave me frustrated at times, as we needed a few hints to keep things going. Lots of red herrings. But overall the set design was so immersive and fun. Not my favorite puzzle play.
Montauk ProjectMyssTic RoomsEscape roomIRLLOVED this room. My favorite room at this venue. It was the perfect amount of difficult, and oh so satisfying, with some really impressive puzzles! And the GM was a very friendly guy. Highly recommend.
Something's Out There!Maze Rooms - West LAEscape roomIRLWent with two beginner players and had a great time! I would say this room leans easier than I expected, but it still has great puzzles and is absolutely worth doing. Perfect scariness level- it was thrilling but not enough to render me useless like other scary rooms do lol. Really great design. Do this room!
AvalancheMaze Rooms - Robertson BlvdEscape roomIRLReally creative and exciting elements in this room. Not enough difficulty or puzzle play in my opinion but was still a good time!
AsylumRiddle Me This Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLAbsolutely loved this room. It’s not as high tech or fancy as other rooms out there these days, but the puzzle quality was incredible and so so satisfying, and that’s what I think is most important. It is difficult but doable, with some puzzles involving multiple layers. Highly recommend, our game master Darren was simply the best! It’s also the perfect amount of scary- I don’t like rooms to be too spooky otherwise I freeze and become useless. This room didn’t push it too far. 10/10
Project 5150Hypnotic Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLThis is a really special company, you can tell they’re so passionate about what they do. This is my favorite game of theirs- it included the perfect blend of intuitive and analytical puzzles and was so much fun!! I did with one other inexperienced player - he loved it. It was definitely difficult but still doable! The ending was possibly the best I’ve ever experienced- do this room!! 10/10
