Prison Break

Difficult with interesting puzzles.

Staff is always friendly and knowledgeable about the rooms.

Rooms are smaller and you have to communicate between a wall in the beginning so no more than 4.

The first rooms are cells and a bit smaller and some items require to reach at 5 foot or above.

One puzzle felt a little contrived as you are told to use it to solve something, but there's actually like three things it solves. Everything else was amazing

Set was well made, but still gave off a bit of that sterile feeling of a chain escape room

GM was very kind :)

In a good way, there's definitely high tech aspects, but its supposed to be a prison break, and it does a good job at that

Like most games, 4 seems ideal, but the nonlinear aspects and amount of puzzles make me feel like bringing 6 would still be fun

No scares at all

Puzzles are tougher than other rooms here, might be difficult for young ones

Not sure if it counts, but one puzzle did not line up well, which made it tougher

Crawling

Pay 10 dollars for the big parking structure near by

Fun gameplay. Good puzzles. Flow well for the most part

Overall atmosphere was well done. Definitely felt immersive

Staff was very welcoming and super energetic!

4 players - we had 6, but 4 of them had never done an escape room before. The size of the group really slowed us down and hurt communication

Many hints were used - no ego, amigo!

FAVORITE

We loved the whole experience. Great game flow and very enjoyable.

The set design was very realistic and immersive.

Alica our GM was very attentive and very helpful.

We had an 11 year old and she loved it.

The story and game flowed VERY well. The set was very authentic... er, I mean, I think it was... I've never actually been in prison.

Two thumbs up for the set design, props and puzzles!

All of the staff at The Escape Game are friendly and welcoming.

This was our first prison-themed game. I felt like I was in "The Shawshank Redemption"

I really like the plot and set design.

This was my 16th game (12W-4L) so I consider myself a novice. Our group was composed of seven players with similar statistics (5 adults, 2 tweens) and I thought this was a hard game. We escaped with only 17 seconds remaining.

I prefer mechanical rooms, so this was perfect for me. There were a few high tech aspects, but more mechanical.

Because you're split into two different rooms at the beginning, you need at least two players, but I think playing with only two would be very difficult. If you're an advanced player you could play with three or four. Novices (like me) should bring five or six. There are plenty of puzzles to go around.

Our youngest players were 10 & 12

Everything was in tip-top condition.

There is crawling, kneeling, throwing, aiming, etc.

There is crawling involved, but perhaps the company has a way around this part. There are small areas so wheelchairs might have troubles. There are visual and tactile puzzles too.

We took the Green trolley to the Gaslamp stop and it was an easy one block walk from the station.

IDK, probably expensive. We took the Green trolley ($2.50) to the Gaslamp stop and it was an easy one block walk from the station.
