I literally cannot believe how well thought out the room was. We made it out with 1 minute to spare because it was so creative and intricate. Best maze room I've been to Absolute 10/10 read more

We escaped! This one had multiple rooms to unlock, it is a well thought out escape room. Definitely challenging but we somehow made it. Lots of fun, I highly recommend! read more

Omg, this was SO much fun and such a cool experience! We did the Atlantis room and loved it, we finished with about two minutes left, which made it extra exciting. It's perfect for big groups and the puzzles were seriously well designed. Even though we went on Valentine's Day, we never felt rushed, and our game master was awesome. Highly recommend if you're looking for a fun group activity! read more

It's my first time at an escape room, but I went with my family who've all been to other escape rooms. They all said that this is one of the best, in terms of size, layout, production value and the puzzles. We did the Atlantis room, and we all enjoyed it. Would definitely recommend. read more

I did the Atlantis room with 3 friends and it was the best escape room I have been to hands down. Josh was an amazing guide. He gave us a great intro and run down of the room when we arrived and then during the room experience, he chimed in the exact right amount of times without interrupting our experience. The room was so creative! There was something for everyone to get involved in and it was physical and tangible and had a variety of different puzzles. This is NOT an escape room with a bunch of lock boxes and keys and signs saying "Don't Touch" - this is a fully immersive theatrical experience from the moment you walk through the doors. Highly recommend for any escape room lovers! I definitely want to go back to try another room soon! read more

Really well thought out escape room. We did the Atlantis room. There were a couple times we asked for a hint and the game master was very clever at giving just enough information for us to still be able to solve it. One of the best experiences Ive had at an escape room! read more

Had a fantastic time at Hypnotic Escape Rooms in Van Nuys with our company's department this weekend! We tackled the Atlantis: The Forgotten City room, and the underwater temple setup was incredibly immersive. The intricate details really brought the adventure to life, and being in the entertainment industry, we couldn't help but appreciate the subtle touches that made it feel so real. The puzzles were engaging and just challenging enough to keep our large group hooked, sparking tons of laughter and teamwork. It was such a fun team-building experience, with everyone diving in and brainstorming together. The staff was great--super friendly and skilled at dropping hints when we needed a little push, while still letting us enjoy those satisfying "aha!" moments. Hypnotic is a must-visit for a group outing in LA. This is my third time here last time was here few years ago and had I think there have been major additions and changes and I didn't remember certain puzzles few years ago Thank you for the awesome experince once again ! read more

Soooo much fun! We've done many escape rooms and this one was one of the best we've been to.

My husband and I came here with our friends (another married couple). We had a blast! From the outside, this place looks sort of like a small hole in the wall. But don't let that fool you! When you step inside, you're greeted by a very modern, cozy feeling lounge area for customers to wait until their room is ready. The space runs quite large, stretching back quite a ways. The hosts are very friendly and helpful! They provide a locker for your belongings and a tutorial video/briefing to help get you ready for the experience. We have only a little experience with escape rooms, and the hosts really helped us ease into the process. Our group took on the Atlantis escape room, and it was great! Without spoiling anything, let's just say it provides a sense of discovery and mystery that was fun for us to unravel. The puzzles were enjoyable to solve, and definitely encouraged (and sometimes required!) group play in a fun way. In the end, we completed the room! (With some hints here and there :p) One of the hosts named Artur also kindly offered to take our picture before we left. Super glad we came and we'll definitely be back! read more

It was a fun time and the host was very accommodating to our group's needs. Thank you.

Best escape room yet! Most rooms I've ever experience. My son and I did the Atlantis room. The owner Arthur was so accommodating since we were on a tight schedule to drive home he opened up 1hr early. The room was so immersive and challenging. We mos def need some hints to escape. Will be back to try the other two rooms. Thank u for a fun experience. FYI don't leave valuables in your car lol. We took our backpacks in with us. read more

Fun experience! There were some obvious puzzles and some harder ones. They were kind to give us more time when something wasn't working as well as towards the end when we were running out of time. I think they knew we were so close to finishing so they gave us a few extra minutes to escape! read more

Tried this escape room for the first time tonight and it was fantastic. Even though we arrived early, the staff got us started within minutes -- super efficient and welcoming. What really stood out was how interactive and creative the experience was. This wasn't the usual "find a key, open a lock" setup -- the puzzles were immersive and really made us think outside the box. Way more engaging than most escape rooms I've done. The staff member who set us up was incredibly friendly, passionate about the craft, and took time afterward to chat with us about the room and our favorite moments -- a really nice touch. Highly recommend this place and can't wait to come back and try the other rooms! read more

A party of three and some team building success. Arthur was the one who helped book our escape room through the phone. He was nice and easy going. The location has an obvious sign, parking on the streets are metered. Would suggest to pay for 1.5 hours on the meter since the escape room is an hour long and you don't want to be caught with a ticket after your experience. This place is reservation based only, so either call or book online before heading over there. They currently have three rooms available and we had tried Escape LA. It was a lot of fun and the theme was on point. Unlike many of the Escape rooms, this escape room contains cool reveals when you solve your clues. The space was well decorated. Would recommend coming back here to finish the other escape rooms. read more

We did the Escape LA room and it was great! Innovative puzzles I haven't seen before, great set design, and a cool theme. Shout out to our game master. Didn't catch his name but he was perect. Would definitely recommend and will be back to try another room! read more

First time doing an escape room and it was so much fun. The owner was super sweet and accommodating and I could feel how much love he had for the business. We did the Atlantis room and there was so much detail and decor that added to the storyline. Most of our group were first-timers and we all agreed on coming back because we had such a blast. HEAVILY recommend this place!!! read more

My boys and I escaped from the Atlantis room and hands down, it was the best escape room we've ever done! The production value was off the charts, and we were blown away by the design and creativity in every space. You can tell the owners are truly passionate about escape rooms. The story and puzzles were crafted with incredible attention to detail, resulting in a seamless, immersive experience from start to finish. Arthur was the perfect game master. He knew exactly when and how to step in--he provided just enough guidance to help us untangle a couple of tricky moments without spoiling the fun. (There's nothing worse than unsolicited hints or vague, unhelpful clues--he was the complete opposite of that!) After we escaped, my boys and I enjoyed chatting with him about different parts of the game. We can't wait to return and unlock their other rooms! read more

This was our group of 4's first time here. Two of us had only done one escape room prior to this. As beginners, we chose Escape LA because we read it was the least difficult. We loved it! It was so fun and appropriately challenging. I want to give a huge shoutout to Artur! He was very knowledgeable and attentive. After we escaped, Artur was kind enough to debrief us, answer all our questions, and give us the confidence to up our difficulty for next time. Within this short window of conversation, we could tell Artur was passionate about working there. It's a breath of fresh air to see people genuinely love what they do. It truly made our experience that much more enjoyable. We'll definitely be back. Thanks, Artur! read more

Amazing experience With kids especially. Family activity near my home is what we needed. Great place

Atlantis is the best escape room I've encountered so far, and Josh was a wonderful GM! In terms of giving us hints, he knew exactly when to steer us back on track and when to give us space to figure things out for ourselves. We loved the puzzle variety! The experience felt high quality, and we would definitely come back for another. read more

I've done 2/3 rooms here and have had a memorable experience each time. The 5150 room was tough, but unique and so much fun.

I went last night to the Atlantis escape room and it was really fun and challenging. We had an hour and there were so many rooms. We all had a blast but it was a little expensive and I would have loved it to be cheaper. I 100% recommend would go again read more

So well maintained and organized! We had so much fun! We went as a group of four had so much fun! The staff is very welcoming and helpful! Highly recommend for date nights and friends! read more

Ok sooo we didn't finish.. my friend and I swear we can get out of every escape room but apparently the Atlantis one failed us or maybe we failed Atlantis. Scott, Scotty or as I referred to him as "SCOOOOOOTTTTT!" He was very accommodating with our craziness and the Atlantis room is so well done I suggest everyone do this one for sure, it's very large and has a lot of fun things. (Don't spend too much time in the very first room because there are about 6 or 7 rooms you still need to get into after and maybe have 3 minimum people with you). So my ego is hurt but props to them on this game. read more

My family has been to about 25 different escape rooms in the past and the one we did today at Hypnotic was by far our favorite. Atlantis was spectacular and without giving anything away we really appreciated that there weren't any combination locks--it was all so much more immersive than the usual escape rooms are. And the gentlemen working there today were so friendly and so helpful. We can't wait to return. read more

We did a birthday party for my son and a bunch of ten-year-olds and the Atlantis: the Forgotten City experience was so great! We loved it and the team at Hypnotic were so helpful and kind. The best Escape Room in the valley! read more

This was super fun. We had a private room for just 2 of us. It was so fun and challenged our minds. It's a bit of an exterior misrepresentation (the surrounding street area seems a little sketch) bit we found easy parking in the back, felt safe and the entry was easy, and inside is just as we expected: a great set up and an awesome experience! read more

Great customer service from Artur place is very nice kids had a lot of fun . The whole staff was very helpful .

Amazing set design! Friendly staff! Our teams had a blast! We had a group of 12 divided between the Escape LA & Atlantis rooms. The staff went above & beyond to accommodate our large group & start 2 rooms simultaneously. Loved it! read more

Our group did the Project 5150 room and found it to be completely immersive, well thought out and entertaining. The tech in this escape room is way better than any other room I've been in. Highly recommend, was a lot of fun! read more

We have done quite a few escape rooms, but I have to say this has been the best. The puzzles aren't just searching for numbers and locks, they're really well thought out and challenging and team work is needed, which is a cool thing we've never really experienced in an escape room. The place is clean and the owner is so nice. Definitely go here if you want a fresh challenge with an escape room. read more

A blast! My friends and I did the 5150 room and it was very challenging but super fun and innovative. V was awesome and we had a great experience overall. We'll definitely come back for the other rooms! read more

Super immersive room! We loved the theme, and the staff was really friendly l Totally recommend

This was so so so fun! 5 of us did the project 5150 and it was so cool. Perfectly disturbing to where it was still fun but weird . We had a great time and are definitely going to come back! The clues were attainable yet challenging. I will absolutely recommend everyone I know to go. PS. The employee was so nice! Love him read more

First time at an escape room and it was a blast! These owners had the best customer service ever. The group I went in with were a tad bit late and they were so kind to honor our timing and accommodating with us. Offered us water, and they also have lockers in case you wanna leave your bag and stuff. We decided to do Escape LA and it was just so cute and fun. Definitely a brain teaser and I had a blast. If you haven't been to any escape room or choose to try a new one, THIS PLACE IS A MUST TRY! Thank you so much Vee!!! read more

None of our team had ever tried an escape room before, & we were exhausted from a tough week & a little anxious. Artur set us at ease immediately & made us feel very welcome & competent. We barely finished our escape room in time as it took us a while to figure out how to start, but once we realized we could move things around & got the sense of the puzzles, it was really fun poking into and analyzing everything. It is empowering to go from absolutely not having any idea where to start & then gaining some agency & working together to find things (there should be a finder & thinker in every group!). You can also get hints throughout if your team gets stuck. Just one piece of advice: try all the things! They all do something. If you can move something, you should! Don't let your friends talk you out of it And read carefully. There are also lockers to put your purse & coat or umbrella, so don't worry about that. read more

Amazing Escape room. The staff with extra friendly with the kids and very patient with them. They are super professional and there is a seating area for the parents to wait. My kids loved the Escape LA room and want to already go back to try the other rooms. The parking was very easy to find right behind the building. The place was nice and clean, you can tell they take pride in the location with all the attention to detail. read more

Awesome experience. We had a group of 5 with experience ranging from 5-50 rooms. The production value was off the charts. Possibly the most visually impressive room I've done so far and I've don't 25+ rooms so far. We managed to escape in 47 minutes with one clue. The puzzles were fun and satisfying and clever. We definitely needed the one clue but didn't feel badly for it. Our game master was Arthur and he was especially kind and spent several minutes with us afterwards, chatting about everything. Overall a great experience and I can't wait to return. read more
