    Escaped Jail Break

    Ive done every room here and honestly keep coming back because I love it that much. Each room is so well put together and actually makes you think, but still fun the whole time. The owners are some of the nicest people you'll meet--they really care about your experience and it shows. It's one of those places you end up recommending to everyone because it's just that good.

    Family was in Lancaster today to challenge ourselves with a couple of Escape Rooms and we entered Greatest Escape with the full intention of taking down their "Behind the Wardrobe" and "Prison Break" rooms. We have a very friendly GM who chatted with us when we arrived, got us checked in and ready to rock. She gave us a quick breakdown of everything and away we went. Both rooms are well designed and we really enjoyed some of the unique challenges presented in "Behind the Wardrobe." They use the older method of clues with a walkie talkie but the GM was very responsive and gave us a clue or information quickly if we needed it. We escaped both rooms and I think we would have broken the escape record for one of the rooms if we hadn't run into some technical difficulties that halted our progress. Overall we had a great time and we will return when they add more rooms in the future, I'd recommend giving it a try. Had to remove one star for a couple issues I'll touch on quickly. -We had a technical issue in both rooms. In one room a locking mechanism didn't release when it should have and it cost us several minutes because the GM didn't realize it and we didn't receive an item we needed to finish the room. In the other room a lock didn't open despite us having the right combination, the GM came into the room and got it open on her 4th attempt. -The Prison Break room had no back story, we weren't given any story information or shown a video to hype us for the room and tell us what was going on. We were just tossed into the room and the timer started, it was definitely strange and took away from the immersion a little bit.

    OMG so glad we have something like this in the AV. I went with some girlfriends and we did the jail brake room. It was cool how some of our party started in the jail cell and the others trying to break them out. After three of us were released from the cell we worked together on the figuring out the clues but we didn't make it out ! Honestly the clues and the manner that everything in this room was thought out was great. If we had been more focused we might have been able to get out but we went wine tasting beforehand LOL. Will defiantly be back to try the other rooms!! Thank you guys for a great experience!!!

    My friends and I have done all their rooms at this location (and the other one for that matter)! All of them are very different and well thought out. Very immersive. I love a good scary room and The Apartment didn't disappoint. We just came up from Hollywood to do the other two and we're happy we did. The set design is great and the puzzles were fun. The staff are wonderful and easy to talk to. It's evident they love what they do. Keep up the good work guys. Can't wait for more rooms!

    Ask the Community - Greatest Escape

    Is this good entertainment for seniors 65+?

    It’s good for all ages. We regularly do events for seniors from the senior centers and Mayflower Gardens.

    Is the escape rooms scary or just one?

    Hello, we have both scary and family friendly rooms. You can see all the rooms and schedule an appointment at www.TwistedExit.com or GreatestEsccape.us

    Is the wardrobe room scary?

    It’s not. It’s actually a family friendly room designed with kids in mind. It’s still challenging but kids love the room.

    I was wondering if you were open during the pandemic?

    Hello, unfortunately we have not been given the okay to open yet by the County Health Department. We are hoping to reopen in the next couple of weeks. Please check our website booking page for available dates and times. Hopefully, we’ll see you soon.

    Is The Apartment scary?

    The apartment is on the scarier side, but we have had people as young as 10 years old play it with their parents.

From start to finish, Arcane Escape Rooms was such a fun, immersive, genuinely enjoyable time, and the absolute star of the whole experience was Alan. He was graceful, welcoming, articulate, and just incredibly comfortable to be around. You could tell he was genuinely excited for us and rooting for us the entire time. It never once felt rushed, forced, or annoyed, which makes such a huge difference with escape rooms. His energy elevated the entire experience, and the way he saved the best part for the end by showing us the other escape rooms and hyping up future experiences was honestly genius. He alone is a huge reason I would come back. We ended up doing one of the hardest rooms with four people total, including myself, and we completed it in under 40 minutes, which felt amazing. Alan was clearly impressed with our performance, and that encouragement made it even more fun. The puzzles were challenging but fair, engaging without being frustrating, and the whole experience felt really well thought out. I'm from the San Gabriel Valley and would absolutely drive out here again without hesitation. I actually came because a friend is local and we were meeting up, and it was more than worth the drive. A couple of small things worth mentioning just to be transparent, getting there can be a little confusing since it's on the third floor, and if you park in the back you want to enter on the left side. Signing up online was easy and seamless, everything felt organized and respected, and we showed up early which Alan appreciated and even mentioned so kindly. There was a slight carpet type smell when we first walked in, but once you're inside and focused on the experience, you stop noticing it completely. The lobby is on the smaller side, but since we were the only group there, it wasn't a big deal at all. I also really appreciated that they had hand sanitizer available. Overall, this was such a fun, memorable experience, and I left already wanting to come back. If you're even considering this place, do it, and if you get Alan as your host, you're in for an amazing time.

The interior design is creative and immaculate, the muppets are beautifully crafted, and special credit goes to Adam, whose live performance carried the scripted moments with real charm and skill.

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.
