Hope EndThe Ministry Of PeculiaritiesEscape roomIRLTruly one of the best escape rooms that I’ve played. My only feedback is that the live actor scripted portions were too long and interrupted the flow of the game without adding enough to the fun. Aside from a few scripted scenes, the actors were critical to the fun though and great, just the scripted portions should be cut in half. The clue system, the sets, the puzzles—-amazing!
InksidiousEscape Room 66 - Los AngelesEscape roomIRLOne of my favorite rooms, not overly mechanical or staged, just creative puzzles and lots of them.
The Secret At Whitmore EstateBreaking Point Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLThis and Head Case are two of my favorite games. Excellent stagecraft and every puzzle in perfect condition.
Wizard's Treasure60Out - HollywoodEscape roomIRLA great room for 2 players and/or first timers. Not challenging but really well done. One of my favorites.
The Mush RoomEscape Room 66 - Los AngelesEscape roomIRLAnother amazing, family-friendly, accessible, intelligent and whimsical room from 66.
Houdini60Out - Silver LakeEscape roomIRLUsually prefer harder rooms, but this is one of best rooms in the area that’s medium difficulty. The “traps” were great. Make sure you have at least one player willing to crawl and a few bumps.
Da Vinci's Secret60Out - HollywoodEscape roomIRLLots of puzzles makes it good for larger groups. Some easy, some hard. Lots of ways to contribute.
Turing Test60Out - KoreatownEscape roomIRLA lot of things were broken. I’m sure this was a great escape room new but now wasn’t that enjoyable.
Cursed CryptEscape Hotel HollywoodEscape roomIRLReally great space with excellent staff and props. Big and difficult rooms—definite plus for our group. Unfortunately we weren’t happy due to sensory issues and broken puzzles. Would’ve really loved to experience the room if it was more accessible for our group and in better shape.
Curse Of The BayouRed Lantern Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLThere were unique aspects of this room that I absolutely loved but the puzzles themselves were pretty simplistic. In my top 5 for large groups. With more challenging puzzles, could be in my top 5 overall.
