The available timing worked best for our schedules, and it was easy to book online. Allot plenty of time for parking since this is in the "back" of Belmont Park - or we just parked as far as possible. The introduction to the room was great. We loved the puzzles (honestly we crushed it!) and it made for perfect photos at the end. I'd come back to this Escapology again. I recognized the brand from where I live in Denver and expected a high quality experience. There looks to be a weekday discount, so take advantage!

Lara's Labyrinth is located near the Mission Hills part of San Diego in an industrial area. There…read moreis no parking lot, but there is street parking across from the building. They're on the third floor, and the elevator didn't seem to be working, so it was a bit of a trek up three flights of stairs. We arrived ten minutes before our start time for the Cannibal room, checked in, and waited, and waited, and waited. We finally got started a little over twenty minutes past our scheduled start time. This room has an option to add a live actor for an extra $20, but we decided to pass on that. Waivers can be completed online before arrival. The room has a split start. I was in the smaller part of the start, and there were a few puzzles for me to do, but the other person was doing the majority of the work in the bigger part of the first room until we were united. Even though we didn't opt for the live actor, we could tell there was somebody in the next room a few times which added to the creepy factor. The room leans towards mostly linear and has a good mix of combo locks, logic puzzles, mechanical puzzles, memory puzzles, a keypad, and some back and forth between rooms. The decor is definitely gory and it is dimly lit. Hints are given over a speaker, but they were often garbled and hard to understand. The room is ranked five stars difficulty and I would agree it's a hard room. We escaped with only two minutes left. POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT: I've never had anything bad to say about an escape room, but after having done 70 of them, this was the first one that felt like it had some potential safety issues. Having to stand on a wobbly stool to reach something above, standing on another chair and handling some bare wires overhead to turn on something electric, an uneven transition between rooms which I stumbled on and almost face planted twice even though I knew it was there, and a desk drawer that came out way too easy and narrowly missed smashing my feet. Be careful! Our game master Nasir was cool, and he was happy to answer questions at the end. The cost was $54.50 per person for the two of us, and the price drops with three or more people. They sometimes have discount codes on the website when booking. Even with the negatives, we would still return to try some of their other rooms when we're down in San Diego.

Stressed out? Angry? Having a bad day? Then I recommend you try Ragescape and break some stuff…read more Location is in Oceanside not far from the 5 freeway In a little strip mall with some other businesses and restaurants. Parking was easy and convenient. They recommend getting there 15 minutes before your start time to fill out the waiver, watch the safety video, and put on the safety gear. You don't want to eat into your scheduled rage time. They also have escape rooms and paint rooms in addition to the rage room. Staff was friendly and helpful. The safety gear included helmet with a visor, gloves, overalls. You can use your phone to take videos and photos, and hook up to the speaker so you can play your own music. The basic package is 20 minutes and you get to break 12 bottles And 6 ceramics. It was plenty of you go slow And break 1 at a time but you can buy extra breakables if need be. And there are tires that you can bang on if you run out of breakables. There are a plethora of weapons to use to destroy the breakables (shovels, bat, crowbar, mallets, pipe wrench, etc). Photos and videos attached.

A couple months ago, three friends and I did them back to back, starting with Black and White Cafe. It was a great way to spend a rainy Saturday afternoon, and I definitely recommend starting with Black and White Cafe if you do that. It's a lot easier and a good warmup for Moriarty's Manor. Black and White Cafe is aesthetic, cozy, and clever. Moriarty's Manor, on the other hand, is the hardest escape room I've done so far. Our group of four made it out with just seven seconds to spare!! (We had two beginners who had each done 2-3 rooms and two intermediates who had each done 10-12 prior to that day.) The combo of puzzles was SO good, with lots of variety and opportunities for different skill sets to shine. I like that MindFox gives unlimited hints but that everyone in the group has to agree to receive a hint. I thought the gamemasters were super personable and helpful. It's difficult to review escape rooms because you don't want to give things away -- so just take my word for it and check this place out! (Just don't start with Moriarty's Manor if your group is all beginners; practice on some other rooms first.) They told us they're opening up a third room later this year, so my friends and I will definitely be back for that!

What a unique and fun experience! Totally worth the time and money…read more I had recently had an amazing experience with Brainy Actz. I saw them on Yelp & found their Groupon. Some existing reviews made me have some initial doubts which led me to attempt contact before I go through with paying for the experience. There were no issues trying to reach the staff via phone to answer any questions or concerns. They were very efficient and helpful in helping me book the experience instantly. When I had to make some same day scheduling changes, they were so accommodating and worked with me on a new time. Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly by Ella. She was thorough in giving us a run down of how our blackout escape room experience works and provided us with useful tips when we needed assistance (and we definitely needed some assistance; the game was challenging enough to maintain excitement but doable enough to motivate you to keep playing). Ella was so kind and encouraging and made our visit feel super special. The blackout experience was so different than anything else I've ever experienced. It's exactly as it sounds. You are in a single escape room that is pitch black the entire time. There's some background sounds to create a somewhat nerve-wracking ambience that got me extra paranoid especially because I couldn't see a thing. There were just two of us trying to navigate the room, and the space definitely felt much bigger in the dark. This would be just as fun and comfortable with a handful of friends. You have one hour to use your remaining senses in the dark to decipher some cryptic hints given through the loud speaker with the press of a button. You're allowed to relisten to these hints multiple times this way. However, if you need further assistance, you will have to communicate via walkie talkie that is handed to you at the start of the game. One of their staff monitoring you throughout your gameplay will guide you through the current necessary action. You're allow unlimited hints but keep it within three if you're competitive and wish to make the leaderboard. I have no shame and did not hesitate to ask for help when really stuck. LOL I which case, Ella's voice would reply over the walkie talkie and provided us aid to help us continue. We managed to finish the game and definitely felt like we were given a full experience delivered in the best way! Whether you're a lover of the more typical escape rooms or just trying to find something new to do, I highly recommend checking out Brainy Actz and experience this for yourself!
