Route 51’s concept is wonderful. I’ve really enjoyed rooms where the aliens have come down to earth. Conversely, space rooms become kind of samey over time; rooms like this one have a lot more personality to them. Men In Suits at Maze Rooms has the same kind of atmosphere but the puzzles here stand out more. I like the mix of physical tasks and mental/precision-based ones. The only true downside is the overuse of AI imagery through the room — but the creativity of the puzzles makes up for it.

We are blown away 🤯 We just finished the room Route 51 🛸👽 Absolutely amazing 🤩 This location is on another level. Starting off with the most wonderful staff Ben and Sky.

Can’t wait to bring my friends. Thank you so much for the great time. Definitely will see you again.

We had a lot of fun, the production value of the room was great! The lobby is absolutely beautiful and would deffinetly recommend taking some time to enjoy it. The room itself was more on the beginner to intermediate difficulty, but there were still a few more involved puzzles for escape room veterans looking to try this one out.

Our family did Route 51 and we had such an amazing time! The room was super immersive, fun, and just the right mix of challenge and excitement. The whole family was completely into it, and we all worked together as a team. The staff was so kind and welcoming, and the whole place was clean, organized, and full of cool extras like a bar, arcade, and shooting gallery. If you're looking for cool escape games in Los Angeles, this one really stands out. Definitely one of the best escape rooms in LA. We can’t wait to come back and try the other rooms!

This was a fun room! It’s probably best for teens and kids. I liked the third room the most. There is one sound puzzle that almost stumped me but I appreciate all the tech integrations and feel of a gas station road-trip stop. It took me back to my childhood sans aliens.

I find it amazing what PanIQ created in West Hollywood. This was such a cute and lovely room that we kept talking about it on the way home. And they had drinks in the bar from the room itself which I've never seen before.

Very unique game. For the first couple of puzzles, you have no idea what you’re looking for. They just throw you into it. So, you just have to start messing around. Which I actually really enjoyed. It was more challenging that way. No hand holding at all. If you’re new this might be a hard location to start at. We had fun. It was a silly room, which we had a good time in. There were some cool puzzles hadn’t seen before. Everyone working at the location is incredibly nice. All that said, they do use AI artwork in here. Personally, I find that unacceptable. You’re making money from puzzle making that requires artwork. Pay an artist to make your graphics if you are using it for a puzzle or a video. That immediately turned me off. I know not everyone would care, but knowing there are small escape room companies that do literally everything putting their hearts into making their rooms, it’s frustrating to see use of AI art. Specially when you’re in Los Angeles and there is a plethora of talented people who would be happy to do so.

There is one puzzle without giving spoilers, that was very unique which we all loved. Luckily, we had a sound expert in our group and it helped us move through it quickly.

Route 51 was such a fun experience!! The puzzles were cleevr and engaging, and the room had a great atmosphere from start to finish. Jack was a fantastic host and kept the energy up. We loved it so much, we decided to jump into another game right after..

We had such a great time! We were seriously impressed by all the clever alien-themed touches throughout. The storyline itself was really cute, and everything felt cohesive and intentional. The staff knew exactly when to step in with a soft nudge in the right direction.

It was family friendly (our group had kids aged 12 and 13 and they loved it too)
