My friends and I booked Steampunk Alice (because, clearly, the theme sounds dope as heck), and it…read morewas honestly one of the COOLEST escape rooms I've ever done in LA!! I've actually been to the other Maze Room for their Magic Tree and Lunar Mission rooms, which I also really enjoyed. But the set design for Alice perfectly embodied this dark fantasy aesthetic and was honestly so trippy, I genuinely felt like I was trapped in Wonderland and LOVED IT. The puzzles themselves were also so unique and interactive in contrast to the typical locks (not sure if there were any locks at all actually besides one bonus question). The overall ambiance is slightly creepy but nothing too scary - what's REALLY scary is how insanely well-made these rooms were. Our gamemaster (I wanna say his name was Max...) was manning two rooms simultaneously, and as someone who also has part-timed at an escape room, that's no easy feat but nonetheless did such an amazing job of immersing us into the world + had the funniest commentary that made the experience all the better. Def have to try their other rooms!!

Next, we waited inside the escape room in silence for approximately 10 minutes for it to begin. Finally the experience was abruptly ended by the attendant saying we had run out of time leaving my child in tears. There was no warning that we were running low on time nor were there any prompts to move us along. I've been to at least a dozen escape rooms and never have I experienced being cut off and not allowed to finish, especially with young child present. I respectfully voiced my concerns to the attendant who told me a manager would speak to me. I waited another 10 minutes for a manager, who told me nothing could be done about any of my concerns and to contact corporate.

I would totally give this place more stars if I could! Whether you are new to escape rooms or you…read morehave done more than your fingers can count, you NEED to check out this particular location!! Even though 'Maze Rooms' has several locations, they have different owners so you won't get the same vibe from all of them. This particular one along with West LA/Santa Monica Blvd location have the same owners. I called on a weekend and Curtis happened to answer the phone. He was so patient with my questions and you can tell he loves escape rooms and wants to create the best experience for everyone. He designs these rooms and really adds a lot of detail that you don't see with some other companies. After picking his brain, we ended up choosing "They're Coming" and it is the most difficult room at this location. Don't let that scare you, you can ask for clues and really tailor it to your own level so that it's fun for everyone. We've done just over 50 escape rooms so we try to ask for as few clues as possible. So let's talk about the experience. We showed up and we were greeted by Brooke who was our game master. She was awesome! She made sure to answer our questions before we got started and didn't rush us at all. She definitely set the stage for a great time and even told us about the leaderboards they have posted. We didn't make the top list but we'll be back! Once we got into the room it was instantly engaging. We did hit a tough spot and had to ask for a couple clues and also realized that we didn't plug something in all the way so that ate up some time but we still made it out with time left. One of the things I liked about this room was that it was more of a story line, not just a theme. You're literally moving along the story as you go as opposed to just hearing a story before you go in a room that basically tells you what the goal is and the whole room just fits a theme like pirates or zombies or western. For some of you this may not make sense but trust me, not all escapes rooms are created equal. The puzzles were very creative and they all made sense. This room flowed really well, much better than I thought it would. There wasn't one puzzle that I didn't like and there was a lot of attention to detail. It wasn't a really dark room and there wasn't anything crazy scary but some kids may not like some of the props or a couple interactions. Just keep in mind it is a zombie apocalypse story. They have other options if you think this might not fit what you're looking for. So once we got done, Olivia also helped us out and she had the same positive vibe as Brooke. Overall, this is one of the best escape rooms I've been to. A few bonuses - If you missed it, there is currently (6/27/25) a Yelp promo code. They already have great prices compared to some others. Your room is private so you don't have to share with strangers. Parking was not difficult and we went on a Saturday evening. You can tip using Venmo or Cash App, I believe, so you don't need cash. It's easy to book online. What more do you need?! Go book a room! I copied the basic info from their site to make it easier for anyone who is considering this room. The plot: "The undead have risen in the heart of Los Angeles, where your group decided to do a simple, fun escape room. But now, the government has quarantined your entire surroundings so leaving is no longer an option. Your only chance is to find shelter, barricade yourselves in and get help before "THEY" get you.

It's very easy to mess but if you drive slowly, it is literally right next to the building. You turn in and there should be a wellness center on your left. Continue to go forward and turn left and the parking garage is there. It has multiple levels going down. It's typically about $1 for an hour and no they do not validate. There is free parking nearby in another garage but for a dollar to be able to walk up and be right there is much better in my opinion. When you arrive, you call the phone number on the front door and they come unlock the door to let you in the inside. Has multiple VR experiences aside from VR room itself. There are multiple spaces so more than one group could have an experience at the same time. Once you sign the waivers, they take you back to your space that is reserved and put the headsets on for you. After putting on the headset to your timer starts and you start your gaming experience. Pretty easy to understand instructions from the game guide. Just try your best not to walk into any walls and respect the boundaries. It's a lot of fun. Sometimes the airflow is not great so you definitely feel sweaty on your face but other times they'll turn on the fans and it feels good the whole time you're there. Definitely great for less active activity but still very engaging. They don't really explain the game to you and kind of leave you to figure it out on your own, but the games are not super complicated to understand. The game guides are pretty nice and quick to help out with technical issues. You cannot hear other games that are happening at the same time as you. They are there and the space is open, but VR headset quickly muffles out any other sound so it's very easy to focus on your own game. Great place if you don't have anything to do for an hour in the afternoon. And it's so close to the 3rd St Promenade that you can walk over and experience that when you're done. We typically like to walk over to Go Greek on Ocean Avenue afterward for a fun FroYo snack.

Full day parking was only 8.00. There were two groups from our party. We were here to celebrate someone's birthday. One group did the Murder in London room while the other group did the Demented Doctor. You start off with scanning with the QR code to sign a waiver. From there, the explanation of what to expect and instructions. Once that was finished, we were escorted to the room which was through a hallway. There were a couple room all near each other. We did the Murder in a London room which takes you back to 1889 where a murderer is on the loose in the dark alleyway of Victorian London. Started off with the alley and then the pub. Clues are scattered throughout the pub as well as hidden all through the alleyway. Just keep an eye out as things are hidden all over the place. Or course you have to work together to figure out the clues to continues on to the next room. It was quite interesting but the fact that the timer is also in the room makes it more difficult as that's what is running through your head. We need to survive this room. You have the pub, there was phone booth, secret rooms that you need to continue through. Finish one task to continue to the next. The excitement of getting the clue for the next level was amazing. Depending on what room, the difficulty level varies. You can ask for clues which is a major plus. We actually finished the room and escape in the nick of time. Seeing the host come in with the signs to congratulate us was amazing. We did it, I escape the room. There's loads of escape room literally everywhere. As this was my first, I can say I had an amazing time with my group. There's a few rooms at this location and it varies with times. It was great experience, service was excellent and the staff were all fun and friendly. Do i recommend this, definite yes.
