Ghost Stories

This is more of a story-driven task room than a traditional escape room. There were A LOT of small puzzles to do, but it can be scaled to the pacing of the teams. Ending was sweet.

The room is very fun and surprisingly cute. Definitely not a true scary thriller room. It’s spooky themed with silly whimsical cuteness. Families can take their kids here without much worry, unless they are honest to goodness hardcore scaredy-cats 😸👻. Gameplay was very entertaining. The way the room is designed makes it very fun to stop by just play. No major rush to beat the clock, lots to do, and everything is somewhat guided. So very beginner friendly as well. I’d categorize the room more as one to do for fun with friends, not a hardcore competitive room. It’s nice to have rooms like this 😁 Only thing to mention is there is one part that requires a bit of climbing. Be careful not to trip 😅 100% highly recommend this room and the whole company! Easily one of the best top tier escape companies near LA! All the rooms they have are amazingly well designed, tricky but not overly difficult to impossible, and themed meticulously to the point of being truly immersed in each room. Don’t hesitate to stop by for an awesome time!

This game is just so good. Similar vibe as treasure island. So much to do. So much character. An absolute must play!

Very fun room! I like Treasure Island better, but this one was also very good. The entire premise of Ghost Stories is your team need to help free the spirits of the ghosts that are stuck in that attic. It was such a unique play experience in that there's multiple puzzles, but they don't make up one continuous story (if that makes sense). You do move on to the next puzzle ... so in that sense they are linear. I also appreciate that they provide you with quality flashlights because it's VERY DIM up there. 😬 Overall, very fun! Just be careful and watch we're you're going so you don't trip. 😆😅

I really enjoyed the storytelling of this room. The theme was done in a fun/spooky way, not a creepy/horror sort of way, which I enjoyed much more. The production quality of the set was top notch here and it was a fun atmosphere to experience the puzzles and story in. I would say this is an Easy room with not very difficult puzzles, but the other aspects mentioned above are done so well that it makes up for the lack of challenge. I also really appreciate that they can scale down the 20 ghost stories if your group is going slower, or let you experience all of them if you have the time. It makes it so the more experienced escape room enthusiasts are not punished by finishing a room too quickly and still paying full price for it. I’ve done all 3 of the currently offered rooms at Brain Games now and they are all fantastic in different ways. I would highly recommend doing all 3!

A really creative, interactive, and surprisingly whimsical room (given the theme of, you know, death). Our wonderful game master Daniel, who was also voice acting throughout, made this even better. On the easier side, but it’s less about “escaping” and more about the individual pleasure behind each little episode in the room.

Ghost stories is an incredibly linear game. You are guided by a lost soul puppet, to help 20 ghosts resolve their conflicts on the mortal plane so they can head to the afterlife. This game teeters the line between a love and a like, the game is fun, but sooooo linear, and not all of the puzzles were quite my liking. Also, if you’re struggling you will not help out all those spirits, so this is another brain games room that rewards efficient puzzle solving.

So many fun puzzles! Also, as immersive as it’s gets! This is a sign to book the room immediately

Ghost stories is a very well done and immersive game. There are plenty of puzzles to do and is non linear, so the whole group can enjoy. The GM did a great job leading and narrating through the story. Great experience overall.
