This was such a wonderfully creative, crafted and thoughtful escape room! I did the principles office and it was beautifully decorated and I was so impressed by how well the experience was presented and executed! The whole process was clear and we had so much fun navigating the clues and immersing ourselves in the experience. Without giving any spoilers, there were so many cool details about this escape room that truly thinks out side of the box compared to other escape rooms. They have different kinds of escape rooms for all levels of escape room enthusiasts. I highly highly recommend you guys give them a try!! Deepak was also a very helpful and fun guide and escape room host! Thanks Deepak! read more

What a thrilling exp The Hide was! The escape room did a good job mesmerizing us and keeping us on the edge of our seats. Enthralling immersion via use of lighting, music, and SFX. + At the beginning, something happened with the light fixture. We were all wondering if that was intentional xD ominous~ - The part where we saw a paper with many blanks was confusing. We thought we had to fill in the blanks, cuz isn't that the point? Turns out the blanks were supposed to be ignored?? . At one point where we all had to scramble for hiding spots, my glasses got knocked off. - In the waiting room, lotta the puzzles and their solutions were incomplete. - Something confusing about the clue via hands pointing fingers. We asked the staff afterwards, but they weren't sure either. I think the finger formation coulda been clearer and fixed rigid. One hand had 2 fingers fully extended, and a third finger partially extended, so we weren't sure if that hand was indicating 2 or 3. + Decent amount of parking. . They give you a walkie-talkie to keep in touch with the gamemaster throughout your session, which is cool given the mission and more fitting than if the gamemaster kept in touch via intercom. - Unfortunately, this radio can be accidentally turned down or switched channels amidst the horror chaos without your knowledge. + Love that this is the first escape room we've ever been to where the staff give the team one camera to record everything so we can save for fun later. - Downside is the camera recording may be accidentally paused amidst the chaos, and we wouldn't realize we're losing valuable footage. - They don't bookmark any highlights or intense moments for your convenience, so you'll have to find those yourselves as you replay the footage. I heard the staff get bonus for name-drops but forgot the names of our gamemasters, so I'll throw a buncha random ones out. Conan, Youssef, Kai, Sherlock... did I match anyone? Hopefully someone'll get a bonus~ xD ;D read more

Decided to come to an escape room tonight with my friends and we had a blast. We did the Zombie Overgrown room. Very challenging room honestly. We had a hard time with a few of the clues. It was definitely fun and took a lot of teamwork but we didn't finish in time. The clues we got did help. Our hosts were awesome. Logan and Delayne were awesome hosts. The way she helped us and was very attentive. And the way Logan finished the game off and made the ending super fun. He too was a good host and played his part perfectly at end. Great time tonight with an Escape Room for a Friday night out with friends! Highly recommend doing a room with your friends and family or workplace. read more

I had a great time at Escape Room Era & I loved how engaging our live actor was. This room definitely had more intricate and complex puzzles than I expected, but I loved the difference between physically looking for clues and solving mental puzzles. It was enjoyable for our group of 5 and I would definitely try another escape room from this company again. A special shoutout to Logan for being a chill & awesome game master! read more

I went with a few coworkers earlier this week and we chose "The Hide". We've never experienced something so intense and terrifying!! Our game masters/scare actors Logan and Tiffany were amazing at giving us an authentic experience of being in fear for my life lol. The way this escape room is set up is actually so genius and fun after you get over being scared. I would 10/10 do again even though I almost peed my pant during our session. Horror nights has nothing on this escape room !! read more

Our group did "The Overgrown," and the theming alongside the puzzles themselves were completely spectacular! Youssef is such a gem and we had an amazing time because of him. Would definitely recommend and return here soon! read more

I thought it was 1/5 scariness, Overgrown with live actors were 5/5 fun, and scared Thanks jacob and logan gave me 5/5 experience read more

This place was amazing our first time here and it definitely won't be our last. Our host, Jacob, was completely into it and really elevated the whole experience. The room itself was super thrilling, and everyone in our group had a great time. The puzzles were the perfect level of difficulty. Challenging enough to keep it fun without feeling overwhelming. Definitely recommend this spot. We did "The Hide" 10/10. And Jacob? Easy 15/10. read more

Thank Youssef for being an amazing host and such a good sport to us hooligans. We appreciate you so much! We did the zombie one which was kid friendly. It was a cute experience. I would say it's an easy experience for those familiar with escape rooms. Production value is mid tier with clues and puzzles being very child friendly. Would be a wonderful room for teens and younger. The rooms are fairly small but to be expected since it is located in an office building. Overall, Youssef made the experience memorable. read more

We came back to Escape Room Era with a few friends to do their Christmas at Franklin's room two days before it closed permanently to make way for a new room. The room had a mix of linear and non-linear puzzles. It was decorated well with very Christmasy décor and many of the puzzles definitely tied into the theme. The room is closed now, so I don't mind saying there were three separate rooms, a closet space, and a crawl space, which all had parts of puzzles. There were many new areas being unveiled to keep the adventure going. This room definitely required a lot of teamwork and brainpower. It included word and riddle puzzles, and some of them needed some "out-of-the-box" thinking. We managed to escape at the very end, and we didn't feel so dumb when we learned that this was probably their hardest room. Roxy did a great job as our game-master giving us nudges when needed with a walkie talkie. She also popped into the room "in character" at one point. My girlfriend and I usually shy away from "live actor" rooms, but she told us that the live actors in their rooms only pop in briefly one or two times, and aren't in the room the whole time. I'm glad she told us that because now we definitely want to come back and do their other rooms. We can't wait to see what the new room that replaces this will be. read more

Searched Google for an escape room in Anaheim and Escape Room Era was the top rated in the area. We decided to book The Hide because we wanted an extra challenge :/ Jacob was a great host and gave us really great clues throughout our experience. Would 1000% go back for another room AND it was my first escape room ever so the bar is set high! Thanks Jacob and thanks Escape Room Era for an unforgettable experience. read more

We did three rooms here back to back: The Principal's Office, Christmas at Franklin's, and the Christmas Pop-up. Nicholas, Jacob, and one other gentleman whose name I didn't get were our greeters and game masters for that night. We all appreciated how enthusiastic and easy-going they were, despite it being busy near closing time. Their energy made our experience more immersive and entertaining. We also got to meet and hold Jasmine, an absolutely beautiful sweetheart of a cat!! The Principal's Office: the smallest room out of the three we did, but they made up for that with the effects and puzzles. Linear with an interesting theme and funny surprises that caught us WAY off guard haha. Christmas at Franklin's: we enjoyed this partly linear, partly non-linear room. Even though we heard that it was currently their most difficult room, we had fun working as a team. Very festively decorated and family-friendly. Christmas Pop-up: featured some riddles, which were fun to solve. Overall, it seemed to have pretty straightforward puzzles, in addition to some tasks that required quick thinking. Can't say that I'd do The Hide since I'm a huge wuss in scary rooms, but I'll definitely return for The Overgrown. Not sure if anything will replace the now-closed Christmas Pop-up. Free parking in front of the building. There was a sign that said more parking in rear, but it didn't look like a parking lot when we checked it out (it appeared to be a loading dock area). The entrance to this Escape Room Era is through the building's front side, middle door, up the stairs, and left down the hall. There is a compact yet cozy lobby on the right side of the hall, with futons and mini games. read more

Came across the escape room at a recommendation from a friend. Decided to try it out. We went for The Overgrown. I had to double check to make sure I was going the right way as the waiting room was up the stairs and to the left. Don't go towards the sounds because that was actually one of the other escape rooms. While i do love the decor and the scenario we found ourselves in, I think the puzzle difficulty could be a bit more complex and immersion could be better, as someone who's done about 10+ or so escape rooms. Where credit is due, the building was originally an office suite like building so one can't just break down walls willy nilly. Shoutout to Nicholas for being a professional and fun host!! There is parking in the front and back but the entrance is a one way entrance. So be mindful and take it slow when you're coming from the East side. read more

No pictures of the room for no spoilers but we LOVE doing escape rooms and stumbled on this one yesterday! (Have a picture of Aladdin the cat - building owner's cat instead!) We decided to do "The Hide" with 7 people which was our very FIRST horror escape room. All I can say is I was the perfect amount of scared, on my toes but excited for this escape room? They give you a camera (also acts like a light in the room) so you can record your group and your reactions as you try to escape the "murderer." Another twist they do have LIVE ACTORS (staff) that come in during the escape rooms to make it even more scary and fun. There's absolutely no touching so everyone is safe and there's safety precautions to make sure no one gets hurt. We loved having Connor and Jacob as our game masters and they've turned me into a horror escape room fan! If you ever get a chance to come try it out, this one is 1000000% worth it! (Even if it's slightly more pricy than a normal room $59) read more

Escape Room Era never disappoints. They make such good use of space and decoration. Even their pop-up shows what someone can do if they want to. Their staff are all super nice and informative. As an avid escape room goer, I enjoy the after room talk about how the room works, the puzzles, and new upcoming rooms! Big shoutout to Logan at Principal's office on 2/16 @12pm. It was so fun throughout the entire experience. Very late but I appreciate Jacob and Michael for the first experience at the pop up room (2/8). I didnt know I could get scared here too... Jacob made the room feel so immersive that I had to take my friends for a second time (2/17) where Giselly was amazing!! She was so sweet and brought the christmas spirit in the spring time. I am very excited for the new updated Hide (or Hide: Reborn?) Will be visiting again! Also for cat lovers, they have sweet cat residents here, Jasmine and Aladdin who are adorableee! read more

We recently did The Hide at Escape Room Era in Anaheim, and WOW! This was hands-down one of the most immersive and intense escape rooms we've ever done. The story pulls you in immediately, and every puzzle felt perfectly balanced (challenging enough to make us think, but never frustrating). The way each clue tied into the narrative was incredibly well done. Major props to our Game Master, Connor and the Scare Actor Shivan (spelling?). Connor kept us on track without breaking the flow, and Shivan.... Oh Shivan... Let's just say we're still checking over our shoulders... You both made the experience feel disturbingly real (in the best way possible). Honestly, we'll probably be traumatized from horror escape rooms for a while! If you're looking for something thrilling, smart, and just the right amount of terrifying, The Hide is a must. We'll be back... after some therapy. read more

Had an awesome time doing the Overgrown room! It was fun, challenging, and kept us engaged the whole time. Huge shoutout to Youssef he was an amazing game master, super friendly, and made the experience even better. We'll definitely be back for another game read more

What a great experience! I have never been that interested in escape rooms because I'm not great at puzzles and a time limit makes things more stressful for me. Steven has been wanting to go for years, but not many people that we know do. I decided to surprise him with an escape room experience for Christmas and I was able to get two friends to join us. We decided to start with the principal's office as our escape room, partly because it was up to four people and we wouldn't be with strangers for our first experience. We were put in detention and had to figure out our way out. I would go into details as to what happened, but that would spoil it for people. Connor was an excellent host and made our experience great. He communicated with me through text throughout the visit and kept us laughing. They can really hear and see you because I was surprised he knew clues that we were talking about. I am now a fan but I'm ready to go to more now! I'm sure Steven is happy about that. Thank you again Connor and Escape Room Era for a fun experience. read more

We did the grinch room that they opened recently. We've done other rooms with this company and we enjoyed all of them so far. The grinch room was fun because of the interactive element and surprises. They had a cute clever story with the room. The decorations and ambiance could use a little work as some of the decor and items were broken but it didn't detract from the experience as a whole. I will say Connor was pretty phenomenal as a GM! read more

Great experience! Reason for visit: Used this spot to host a surprise birthday gathering. The exterior is just a normal office looking building so it didn't give away the surprise. Average cost: Approximately $42 per person Theme: The Overgrown (Zombie) (non-horror) Experience: Fun Zombie themed escape room. Its not scary, but thats good because 2 of the group would not have allowed it (sad faced). Puzzles were rewarding and space was creatively done. We hit a snag here and there but the time given was just enough to finish with minutes to spare! Staff: We had a great individual who came in shortly after our arrival to greet and update us, (Sawyer?). He played his "Overgrown" part very well! Wasn't too overbearing during the escape room, only chiming in one time with a riddle... oh, well two times, but we dont speak about that second time... Will be back! We are hooked! read more

Connor was a great game master and has a knack of making you feel comfortable even when you're stressed! My husband and I spontaneously decided to do an escape room and luckily was able to book one on short notice through a phone call and email to the owner. We really appreciated Connor coming in to help us as the game master. We did the principals office and loved it! It was fun and we had a great time and was so glad we came in! It had good difficulty in its puzzles and the live actor part was sooo well done! Connor is a great actor!! And the hints were sooooo good, our favorite so far! We felt like he was really our bestie and we loved it so much. We'll definitely be back to try out the hide and hopefully get Connor as our game master!!! read more

Parking was easy to find since parking was available in front. Go inside the building and go to the second floor look for the red light above the door and you can enter their lobby. They have refreshments In the refrigerator but they weren't cold. Room was nice and creepy. Some puzzles are really hard but hints help. Our host Youseef was extremely nice and explained everything. He helped us get into character and kept the room engaged. Would definitely return for another room. Also restrooms are clean but no toilet seat covers. read more

As valedictorian, l've avoided detention-until now! Snoop through Principal Li's office to uncover his strange secrets in this quirky room ideal for very small groups. From report cards to microscopes, even the PA system plays a role in the mystery. Just between us, the drawer full of Twinkies isn't the biggest surprise! If a bad grade in school felt like the end of the world, this is the room for you. This room had such unexpected twists and fun moments which make it memorable. I've never been so excited to go back to school. Connor was our amazing game master (and more - if you know, you know). Parking seems limited in the front but you can also park in the back of their building. Can't wait to come back and play their other games if Principal's Office is any indicator of how well done their games are. read more

Thousand stars for Nicolas and Jacob!!! It was such a wonderful experience and what a fun and innovative room! Really lived up to the theme and the puzzles were awesome.

I think his name was Luke, at the end he asked us how it was and really made it a point to ensure our comments mattered.
