![]() More like mid 3's rating-wise, but it’s good. This is definitely their best room and it is a good room. ![]() Trapped Pandora’s Box (4.1), Operation X-13 (3.3), Grandma’s Surprise (3.8).įirst, Pandora’s Box. Why? Just give me that combo to start, skip the middle part? Who thought was good?) Do not do Cartel: DEA. If you are looking for a room full of puzzles, this isn’t it.!: you find a combo to a locked box and open it to find painted inside…the combo to another lock. It's not a room to be silent or observe in get into it and you will have fun. If you want a little more detail (very minor spoiler):>! this is a little more of a hybrid room: interactive theater with a few puzzles - you will spend half your time doing improv with the host in character. ![]() All we knew going in was some advice, which I wholeheartedly endorse: “get into it.” The actor was phenomenal and you will be interacting with them extensively. Has a live actor (not a spoiler, it’s on the web site) Very very interactive/immersive experience. The flow works so well with the theme and puzzles. There are some good jokes/meta-commentary about escape rooms. You are in a human-size cage and the rat scientists are performing experiments to see how smart you are. This might be my most favorite room of all time. These were the stand-out experiences of the trip. My suggested team sizes apply to people who have done rooms before unless otherwise noted. I’ve attempted to keep this list as spoiler free as possible (and even spoiler tags don't spoil very much). We get very annoyed at “jankiness”…like broken puzzles or making it difficult to enter an answer you’ve worked hard to get or puzzles that have little tolerance (that “1” is a millimeter off? No open for you…yeah, no thanks, the fun is in the solving, not trying to enter the answer 15 times). We like good puzzles and room flow, narrative, and immersion. We are not out to set speed records in fact, I think we enjoy rooms more when they are immersive and challenging. This is our fourth team trip, following Los Angeles in 2018, Phoenix in 2019, and Portland in 2021. Individually, we’ve done between 200 and 250 rooms each. We post our impressions mostly for other enthusiasts and people getting into escaping. There are some more detailed enthusiast reviews on several sites as well. For this region, there is a SoCal community spreadsheet which was a great start (when I mention ratings below, that’s the rating I’m referring to – it’s a 5 point scale). We find TripAdvisor and Yelp reviews are unreliable. It’s hard to plan a trip like this and find good information on which rooms to choose. Here's the full agenda and accompanying map. Our Seattle-based team of three did a Los Angeles (and surrounding) Escape Room weekend in August 2022.
