    Came here for my birthday and my group and I had so much fun! We played the Black Dragon puzzle, set in the mid 1900s of Hong Kong. The puzzles were unique and fun; it had a good mix of brain teasers, pattern recognition, and physical movement. The variety, combined with the setting, made it engaging and enjoyable! We were offered help once or twice, but my group managed to solve it pretty quickly! The staff was very nice and courteous. They seemed understaffed that day as nobody was at the counter at first, and someone hurriedly came by, apologized to us and said they'd get to us very soon. We came early so that was understandable. The lobby had some fun mini puzzles for us to solve! Parking is street or paid lot parking, as usual for LA. Be sure to arrive early for your appointment!

    Had a blast! Hands down best escape room we have all been to. Several of us have been to many all over LA, but this one is our favorite. When you walk in, they have some pre-activities that really help you get mentally ready for the inside game. Loved this! If you figure out the pre-puzzles, you get the code to unlock a free LA escapes pin. We did the Black Dragon room, as some people in the group are from Hong Kong. We went in with a group of 9, and we were all very entertained. There was so many puzzles of all levels and the decor was insane! Been to several escape rooms, this was more high tech, and loved that there was a person who acts and stays with you in case you need help. The person stays in character too, which was so hilarious. Other escape room companies use the ipad or talk to you via speaker for hints of help, but I like the live person way better as it makes the room become more alive! I honestly can't wait to come back. We came here for a birthday and want to go back for the next birthday. It will be hard to want to try other escape companies after this one because this one was too good. I would say a group of 4-6 is ideal, so everyone can try out all the puzzles. Parking was challenging because it is in downtown LA, but in reality, it only took us 10 minutes to find parking. If you want to make it even easier for you, just pay for a parking garage.

    I played my first escape room here back in 2016 so I thought it would be full circle to play my 50th escape room here. I've played all of their rooms: The Detective (no longer running), The Pyramid, Atlantis, and Black Dragon. Black Dragon Review: I was in the promo video for Black Dragon last year so I came back with two friends to finally play the room. Our game master was nice but seemed inexperienced. We explained that we wanted to be paced and to escape so if she saw us struggling, she could give us clues. We got stuck after the first room and I was in one room waving my hands and asking for a clue and we never got any help. Only when we were down to three minutes did she come around and try to give us a clue but it was too late. We were two puzzles away from finishing when time ran out. It was really disappointing. So I'll say the experience was subpar but the set and puzzles were done well. Step into 1960's Hong Kong and stop the black triad gang from taking over the city. When you enter the first restaurant, you start by eating real fortune cookies and piecing together clues from inside them. The set is massive so a large group will help divide and conquer. There are a wide variety of puzzles that involve staying on your toes (literally). Keep your eyes peeled and read wisely. Atlantis Review: Played for my birthday in 2023. I had won a giveaway on instagram (follow them on social media because they do have promos there) and was able to play for a discounted rate. The set, like all of their sets, was impressive. Some puzzles were more straightforward than others. A few of the puzzles didn't work even when solved correctly so an employee was in the room to make sure we were able to progress. We escaped. Pyramid Review: Played this room in 2019 on a date. We also got paired with people we didn't know but they were a great group of people. The room was really fun and had some theatrical reveals. We escaped. The Detective Review: Played in 2016. I was put with a large birthday party. It was hard, very traditional puzzles, and we did not escape. But it kicked off my obsession with escape rooms. Parking is metered street parking or there is a lot on the same street (just drive past the escape room and take a ramp up) for $10.

    bad quality photo but great quality escape room!

    This is my second time coming to Escape Room LA (Escape Room #46) - had an amazing first experience with Atlantis and now came back to try The Pyramid with some friends! It's known to be their hardest escape room, altho imo Atlantis was harder (to be fair I did have a smaller group then). For us, 6 people was perfect as we split up into two teams of 3 when the puzzles started to accumulate. Like Atlantis, The Pyramid is a super immersive adventure with such amazing attention-to-detail, everything from sounds to lighting to room design. I do wonder if they don't have a timer in the room on purpose, but it would have been nice to know how much time we had left - alas we escaped in 43 minutes :D Our host Jelly was also super amazing and made for an enriching escape experience. Will have to come back for their last room, Black Dragon!

    This was one of my absolute favorite escape rooms that I have ever been to that isn't scary. Scary escape rooms are on another level because of the fear factor. I love the ambiance of this escape room. The decor really feels like you are in the urban streets of Hong Kong. The puzzles are intricate and multifaceted making for a fun and unique experience. The only draw back is that some of the lock boxes were faulty and we managed to skip two puzzles without even knowing. Regardless, I would recommend this escape room to any who wants an immersive and thought provoking experience.

    Success!!

    We had an absolutely amazing experience with the Atlantis puzzle. Definitely a challenging puzzle and we appreciated having a guide with us in the room to nudge or encourage us when we were missing something or heading down the wrong path. We were a group of 8 and all of us were needed, but there is enough space to break up and tackle different areas simultaneously. Without giving any clues away, the squid room was my favorite. I would definitely recommend this to friends and would go again for the other puzzles.

    Book nook

    4 of us did Black Dragon recently. Unfortunately we didn't escape but had a wonderful time trying. Rooms were decorated very realistic, clues little hard but not impossible. Best part coincidentally I'm building a book nook which is from a Hong Kong movie twilight of the warriors walled in. The movie is about Kowloon walled city, same as black dragon. It felt like in was in the movie. Super good time and everyone friendly and helpful. Below picture of Kowloon book nook, very similar to black dragon .

    Not only was this room beautifully built but it was fun and challenging. Plus the customer service is top tier our host was amazing and I had a guest cancel last minute and they issued me a credit for my next visit! 10/10 recommend

    Beautiful lantern hallway

    We chose to play the Black Drago escape game with the famous Hong Kong historic location - Kowloon Walled City with a total of 10 players. We entered the very first room and listened to the instruction by a staff named Sophia. Sophia helps us through the entire game if we need clues or hints. She is not only a staff, she also has a role to play in the game! This game included 5 rooms/sections. Everyone needs to put their effort into completing the mission. The beautiful props inside the rooms made us feel like we were in the 70's of Hong Kong. Narrow alley with a bunch of bird cages and signs hanging between the apartments. Many traps and puzzles to solve. We had so much fun and completed the mission within 60 minutes. We also got a pin as a souvenir from a bonus game. We want to go back to try the other 2 games in the future - Maya and Atlantis.

    A fantastic experience! From the entrance with the courteous lady that also served as the game master, to the decor, and the little puzzles in the lobby (they net you a nice pin if you crack the code!), and then the actual escape room (my group and I tried Black Dragon, it was just 4 of us, and we almost finished it). The decor inside the escape room was quite immersive. The puzzles had the right amount of difficulty and you can always ask for help if needed. The time limit is 50 minutes but with a large group, it should be more than enough to crack the case! Also, the lobby has pictures of every famous person that has ever visited this Escape Room, and it's quite impressive, to be honest.

Instead, there was no game master. He (Steve) didn't show up until 8:30 PM, and the group before us took 2 hours and didn't finish until 8:40 PM because, according to him, they let teams keep playing until they escape--even if they go well over their one-hour reservation. The game master then tried to blame our few-minute delay for the situation, which was ridiculous. Even if we had arrived exactly at 8:00, our room still wouldn't have been ready until around 9:00 PM--the time our game was supposed to end. We've completed 60+ escape rooms, and we've never experienced anything like this. What made the experience even worse was the terrible customer service. Instead of taking accountability for their scheduling failures, the staff acted like this was normal and didn't want to issue a refund, despite being unable to provide the experience we paid for. The complete lack of professionalism, accountability, and respect for customers' time made this by far the worst escape room experience we've ever had.

    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.
