40 ThievesMindTrap Escape Room - TemeculaEscape roomIRLOne of the best escape rooms I've ever done. The set detail and level of immersion are as high of quality as they come. Not a single thing to fault in the room. A must do room and worth traveling for. As polished as you will find.
Treasure IslandBrain Games Escape RoomEscape roomIRLThis room repurposes the literal set from the former 60 Out Tiki Room. So if you have done that room there will be some puzzles you've done before.
Irvine School of Wizardry and the Goblin's SecretsHidden DonkeyEscape roomIRLAs good as escape rooms get from a production design standpoint. Really feel the magic. Puzzles were straight forward and not challenging. But an awesome experience.
The TreehouseConfusion EscapesEscape roomIRLSet and room were very well designed and fun and captured the magic. Some beat up edges and dated materials/locks are the only things stopping this from being one of the best of all time. Very worthwhile room.
Atlantis: The Forgotten CityHypnotic Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLYet again, way too easy. Beautiful sets and rooms all underwhelmed by the most straight forward "puzzles" imaginable. All the technology is there for something awesome but they make it so easy that it's disappointing
13th BasementExit Game OC - AnaheimEscape roomIRLReally fun satire of escape rooms. But a bit short, easily could have done more, and it was so well done we wanted more.
The Secret At Whitmore EstateBreaking Point Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLNot as good as Headcase if you're debating between the two. Fairly run of the mill standard room.
Whatever Happened To The Garretts?Maze Rooms - West LAEscape roomIRLGreat design and adventure. Very easy puzzles.
Something's Out There!Maze Rooms - West LAEscape roomIRLThis room has way too few puzzles. Missed opportunity because what is there is well done and the theming is fun. But we got the second fastest time ever with only three of us and the escape rate is 43%. Needs a few more things to truly be in the top tier of escape rooms
PlaygroundThe Escape Game - IrvineEscape roomIRLIt's a room that makes it so a lot of kids can play, but it is tons of fun. We took it on with just two people and had to run flat out the whole time. One of my favorite experiences
