In 1923, as the Hollywoodland sign was raised over the hills of Hollywood, the San Fernando Valley was introduced to the Von Wolfhaussen Manor, built hidden amongst the valley’s orange groves, to house and treat patients with various mental illnesses. Dr. Frederick Von Wolfhaussen, a pioneer of mental illness treatment techniques, founded and ran the manor until its closing in 1971. In 2012, Dr. Frederick Von Wolfhaussen, III, the grandson of the late founding father of the manor, reopened the institution’s doors. Through the correspondence of various governmental grants, Dr. Von Wolfhaussen, III resumed treating mentally ill patients with the implementation of the latest and most modern of therapies. Today, the institution has gained a reputation of having the highest cure rates of mental disorders in the world, and there are theories that Dr. Von Wolfhaussen, III, has implemented some questionable techniques in his treatment protocols. Through recent statistical success rates, the institution has become a topic of controversy and has caught the attention of the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). In cooperation with the FBI, the HHS has organized a group of handpicked individuals to examine and audit Dr. Von Wolfhaussen’s institutional practices & techniques. Respectively, this mission has been named Project: 5150.

Cool room and would have been one of my top rooms ever but I had just played their other room Atlantis. LOL Still amazing, this company is awesome. A bit smaller than I would have liked, but that's just because it was so fun.

Depends on the kids, there's definitely a death and gruesome element to it. Nothing scary, just macabre

This room was amazing , the feeling of eerie definitely immersed you into the storyline. Hypnotic definitely put a few new good twist on the classic asylum room. Will definitely go back for their other rooms. The game masters have all been very friendly and helpful

Another great room here. 2nd best I would say next to Atlantis. Clever codes to break. There was something that of done wrong you need to reset the game which kinda sucked but it was still fun. Ending was a surprise lol!

A deceptively linear game with an incredible trick up its sleeve toward the end!

It was an okay room, definitely give it a go but not our favourite at that location. Wasn’t the biggest fan of the puzzles. The ending had a unique exit for one of the players.

This is a well-constructed escape room with some rather interesting decisions about what constitutes a “puzzle.” I had fun but the subject matter could be quite triggering for anyone who has ever had a significant mental health issue. The story was kind of nonsensical to me even when they tried to explain it to me afterwards, but the puzzles are well done and everything is well clued. Recommended with an asterisk (but maybe the plot will make more sense to you than it did to me).

The story does not get in the way, and all the puzzles are well integrated into the environment. It just did not make any sense to me.
