Lab Rat takes place in a laboratory where giant rats are doing odd experiments on human beings, specifically you! The somewhat unhinged Ratkenstein, a doctoral student in the field of human intelligence (or, in his estimation, the lack thereof), has tasked you with completing a series of tests and puzzles. If you succeed, he can finally write his dissertation. If you fail, he’s going to put you and your friends in the old test-subject chipper (like a wood chipper, but for test subjects!). You’ll have one hour to complete the tests and attempt to get out of the laboratory for good, before Ratkenstein turns you into mulch!

Amazing storytelling, creative puzzles, and incredible production. Hard to believe this was made in 2017!

What’s to say that hasn’t been said? The gold standard of what an escape room should be. Has held up beautifully after all these years, could not recommend more

Excellent room, from beginning to end! Very cute and funny, you can tell it was made with great production quality and passion. We deeply enjoyed it and look forward to doing the rest of the rooms at this location!

I’ve been wanting to do this room for a while, but I was waiting to go with the right people. It definitely did not disappoint. Very awesome design of the room. Good balance of tricky and easy puzzles. We were treating well by the game master Michael. Loved this room.

I visited this escape room a few months ago with a group of friends and, unfortunately, found the experience underwhelming. The room design is highly linear, allowing only one puzzle to be solved at a time. While the venue advertises a capacity of up to 12 participants, the format is far better suited for a much smaller group—perhaps 3 to 4 people—given the limited opportunities for simultaneous engagement. Additionally, the game master’s demeanor detracted from the overall experience. She spoke to us as if we were five years old—overly simplistic, patronizing, and unnecessarily controlling. Even before we entered the room, she addressed us in a condescending tone, and throughout the experience, she frequently interjected, accusing us of being “too rough” with props that appeared outdated and fragile. The set/room itself seemed worn and in need of maintenance or updates, almost like it hasn’t been updated since its opening. For $74 per person, it’s just not worth the hassle.

VERY LINEAR!!!! I was really excited about this one. I even got together with a bunch of friends to setup a full day to go to LA for escape rooms. We got matching shirts and everything. When we got to the place the guy told us that they were having some difficulties and management wasn't helping. This was our first warning. He also said he might have to come in and "help" (which he did twice because stuff was broken). The game was ok. Some puzzles were not reset, a couple times the guy had to say "don't touch that I'll tell you when later", when he had to come "help" we lost extra time. The effects were cool and the puzzle had some creativity but we won't be back and I wouldn't recommend it.
He was ok but seemed over worked and fighting with management.

Not sure if I can review this or not. They didn’t show up to our prepaid and confirmed reservation on time, they didn’t contact us, they came 5 minutes late and said they couldn’t accommodate us. Terrible customer service. Unfortunately I don’t plan to return.

Finally got to do this escape room and I got to say it lived up to its reputation. It didn't disappoint at all. From the production set to the storyline to our GM, everything was crafted with passion. I was very impressed. This has got to be one of my favorite escape rooms of all time. Ohh, and I remember our GM telling us that we didn't break the all-time record for Labrat, but our team did get the best record so far for the year 2025. 🥳

“A must-play. It’s worth traveling far to test your human intelligence in this lab.“
