Cutthroat Cavern13th Gate EscapeEscape roomIRLSurprise after surprise after surprise… WHAT?! I played this game after doing the Anubis room, and I was thinking nothing can top Anubis’s production value… and I was so happy I was WRONG. This set design is so amazing, and because of the set it made the puzzles feel grand. The actual puzzles themselves, when you think of it, are basic twists on classic puzzles, but because of the sheer grand massiveness of everything, it enhanced the puzzles as well. I do wish the puzzles were a little better, but this room as an experience will probably be in my top escape room experiences or all time for quite a while.
Time MachineNot Another Escape RoomEscape roomIRLSo much has already been said so I’ll keep it short. CREATIVE. UNIQUE. MEMORABLE. FUN. That’s all you need to know.
The Last SupperQuest TavernEscape roomIRLWhat you put into it is what you get out of it! This is a game that is just as involved with puzzles as it is with role playing, which subsequently gets you naturally more immersed. We had a blast with our team of 5, and lots of fun back and forth moments!
Going UndergroundCrime Runners - Branch Alser StrasseEscape roomIRLYou HAVE to do this room. It’s one of the rooms my wife and I did on our honeymoon and easily the most memorable. Every part of the set was so meticulous and beautiful, and the storyline and puzzles just fit so well with the entire theme. I wish I could play this again. They had some genuinely amazing effects that you’d probably expect to see in a Hollywood set done within these rooms. The owners are also amazingly nice and fun to talk to. Very cool game and place!
Stash HouseStash HouseEscape roomIRLThis game defines immersion. When we played this game we were so confused when it started because it didn’t really feel like there was a transition… it just started! And as we play the game it felt like it was just never ending with so many surprises. Super cool! Loved the huge variety of puzzle types for this game.
Lab RatHatch EscapesEscape roomIRLSuch a fun and creative story! The story is so unique it allows you experience all the wacky stuff in the room and all of it still makes sense. It also has a really cool overarching design (IYKYK) that just made us excited to follow through. Beautiful room atmosphere!
The Hex RoomCross Roads Escape GamesEscape roomIRLWhat else can be said that hasn’t already been said? Hex room takes the escape room idea and flips it on its head with some major innovations. Love the split start and the roles each player has. Very immersive and just plain fun!

Irvine School Of Wizardry And The Dragon WandHidden DonkeyEscape roomIRLProbably the best wizard themed escape room I have ever done or will ever do. To this day, I recommend this spot to all my friends who love Harry Potter and want to play an escape room. I felt like I was stepping into the wizarding world when starting this game and felt completely immersed! It’s so surprising too with the space that is used.
13th BasementExit Game OC - AnaheimEscape roomIRLEasily, one of the best endings I have ever experienced in an escape game! I have brought family back to play the game with them again just do I could see their reactions. Such a fun game. It’s a parody of other escape rooms, but there are still some moments where my wife screamed (though I don’t think she needed to lol 💀)
