The Haunted Manor

Even though this was an easy room (45 minute time limit) it included a good amount of rooms and puzzles I’ve never seen. Big thing I’ve been liking about PanIQ rooms is the amount of dexterity puzzles they include. At least 3 of the major puzzles were dexterity based and it’s always refreshing when they aren’t run of the mill “find the numbers, put them in a combo lock”. The aesthetic is the perfect escape room spooky and things opening certainly had their desired jump-scare effect.

Simple to the point room that stuck to its theme. All the puzzles had a good flow to them with us only getting stuck twice. Granted the two times were: we just didn’t open a drawer and we didn’t trigger the sensor for a puzzle. The theme was fun and spooky but not overly scary at any point. Fair warning though, lots of dolls if that isn’t your thing. Fun breezy experience for the two of us.

A little silly but challenging enough. Not mad that we did it.

A slightly shorter escape room than normal clocking in at a 45 minute time limit makes this room a bit easier to do than others. That said there are a few very clever puzzles, or at least clever implementations, that some groups may get somewhat stuck on for a little while that took us by surprise. The room does make use of them in several places which does slightly up the difficulty vs time aspect. Atmosphere is pretty good, well designed for the theme. Overall a decent quick and easyish room, enough so that we got on the 30 day leaderboard. Our game masters Jonathan, Flavio, and Jenna were fantastic.

Hear no evil, speak no evil—but you just might see evil. Once home to a real haunted doll, this escape room blends tech with classic puzzles. Stay sharp: hidden puzzles are your key to finding the family portrait that will set you free. And if the staff is in a mischievous mood, the mannequin in the tub might not be so lifeless. Escape before the spirits claim you!

I had the best time at PanIQ! Truly a gem among downtown Long Beach. My gamemaster Lizzie was incredible - she was so friendly and helpful and truly made it an unforgettable experience. I played the haunted manor room and I think it’d be great for an experienced group of 2 or a young family of 3-4. spooky, but not too scary! can’t wait to go back and play the rest of their rooms! (btw free 2 hour parking in the DTLB parking lots!)

Spooky fun! I liked that the puzzles and props were old timey to fit the era of the theme. It's a shorter room (45 minutes, I think) but the variety of puzzles are challenging enough for it. Thank you to our GM Jonathan for making it even more fun!

Very nice set design! Straightforward story telling and puzzles. Great for beginners!

Fun game fit well for beginners! This is a 45 minute room that is pretty straightforward. The set design is solid and there were a couple unique puzzles in here, though no real WOW moments. Our game master was great! Super friendly and really helpful! We had a lot of fun!

This was a scary good time, a whole hoot and a half! Not at all scary thanks to Jenna keeping the ghosts and ghouls at bay. Thanks Jenna!
