The Last SupperQuest TavernEscape roomIRLThis is like immersive theater meets escape room, and it was a blast! This room leans heavily on interaction with a live actor, and that's where it really shines. Light puzzle solving. The puzzles are linear, but the fun comes from how much your group gets into it. So bring friends who are silly, spontaneous, and open to roleplaying. The more you give, the more you get. The immersion level is excellent, and the actors do a great job adapting to your group’s energy. One of my top favorite rooms.
The Curse Of The Black KnightEscapeX Rooms - IrvineEscape roomIRLThis room was quite linear and the space was tight, so this would be better to do on a date with 2 people or 3. We had 4 in our group and felt pretty cramped in certain areas. Also, it was kind of stuffy and hot in there. The room was very cool and unique and the puzzles were interesting. Unfortunately, our experience had a hiccup. When we entered, all the different rooms were already opened and it took awhile for the GM to notice, so that was a bummer. Overall, I still liked the room as a whole.
Ghost StoriesBrain Games Escape RoomEscape roomIRLThis room was very tedious in a not-fun way. We had 7 people solving the different ghost puzzles and we kept asking the GM for the next clue because we had people standing around. Even though everyone was solving something, this was the first room I've done where I couldn't wait for it to end because the way each puzzle started out was very repetitive (20 times for 20 ghosts!). The puzzles were easy and boring. The room is not scary. The live actor was the game master over the intercom, and she wasn't very entertaining unfortunately. While there were some fun elements, overall, I would say this room would be great for a family with kids. Unfortunately, I did not enjoy it.
Prison BreakThe Escape Game - IrvineEscape roomIRLThis is one of my favorite rooms that I've ever done. Loved being separated at the beginning. This was a challenging room, but it was very satisfying. The correct amount of difficulty, and very unique. Great atmosphere. My group had 5 and everyone was able to solve something. 5-6 people would be great. Would be more difficult to complete with less than that.
