The Winery Infiltration

Super enjoyable room! Such a great experience, from a great theme with wonderful tech to immersive puzzles.

This is a fun game on the easier side. I enjoyed that it was a theme I’d never encountered before, but some of the puzzles lean more towards following instructions and reading than they are actual puzzles. Also, some of the signposting could be improved as it is sometimes unclear when a certain puzzle is ready to be worked on.

Winery theme isn’t often seen & fun for both wine enthusiasts and those that aren’t. Story was fun & puzzle play was non linear & intuitive. **Seniors, readers may be needed for part of game play as the lighting was dim. Sound cues were a good volume & ambient sounds weren’t distracting. GM was friendly and helpful!

No “whining” here - this was a wonderful start to our 3-escape room day with Surf City Escapes! Puzzles were thematic and tied to the wine heist storyline well, which made the experience feel immersive. I am no connoisseur but it also had the right amount of wine education as well. Educational escape room? Whaaaattt? The guard interrupting every so often could have mixed reviews - some people from my group felt like it added the right amount of pressure and chaos to keep everyone on edge. I was on the camp that I wish we were not just hiding and we did something else more creative but that’s just me! The room had a fun balance of challenge, teamwork and laughs. A pour-fect escape room experience and a standout for its creativity in the OC area!

The room was very well constructed and the puzzles stayed true to the theme. I had seen this place pop up on Morty and saw that it was getting great ratings and now I can see why. GM was super friendly and you can tell he genuinely cares enough to create an experience for the players. I loved this room cuz I love wine and creativity put into these puzzles highlighted that for me. Highly recommend doing this one and maybe even doing a second room like Surfs Up the same day. Perfect date night

love the “interruptions” in this game! gives it a little extra something special. liked that there were objectives. i recommend this room!

We infiltrated the winery! Winery Infiltration was a bumbling adventure through a winery. Puzzles here are a standout. (Same designer as Exodus) Thematically appropriate and well polished. Good feedback when solving. We never had any issues with knowing what we needed to focus on, and everything was clearly presented! Multilinear, and a great introduction to Surf City. An easy standout game and company in the densely populated SoCal market. Ben, the owner, was easy to talk to and was a great host. We’ll definitely be back for Specter Inspectors!

This is an incredible room! Owners Ben and Katie did a phenomenal job with everything: the set was pristine, the puzzles flowed super well, and the flow of puzzles and “interruptions” felt super natural. This is a room where I can truly say that you use everything, and the space the room took place in was insanely well-utilized. By far my favorite part is the room was the attention to detail given to the little things, and that made each thing that you interact with feel that much more real. You’ve gotta try this room!

A super unique concept / story for an escape room. Puzzles were great and the room was designed so well. Kudos to the owners on both of their rooms. Can’t wait for their other rooms to open!

Owner and game master Dalylah were so helpful and patently and kind and made experience very fun. Game play flowed well and had unique puzzles haven’t seen anywhere else, not bought etc
