We had so much fun at the escape room today. We had a large group and they were kind enough to accommodate us in a room meant for less people. We did the asylum themed room and it was fun, creative, and had unexpected surprises. Shout out to Dakota who was our game master. He was friendly and gave us just enough hints when needed. We would definitely go back. read more

Best experience ever!! First time at an escape room and I must say glad we made to this one. Great service very welcoming and a big shout out to Vance and Jesse definitely will be coming back to do other rooms read more

Our Game Master Dakota was great. He was very personable and knew the game. My husband and I (with Dakota's help) we're able to complete the "Who Dun It" escape room. The game itself was fun and had several little pieces that would challenge the mind. Looking forward to other games. read more

I usually go to Brainy Actz for escape rooms so trying Ingenious was a change. However we ended up really enjoying it. The hostess who helped us out tonight, Jessie, was so sweet and welcoming. She even gave us a discount for our next visit! read more

Legit awesome place, it's cool that it's a house turned into an escape room location. The guys have it setup nicely definitely going back again. read more

Totally loved the room we did and the owner. He was spot on with the timing of little nudges here and there. Gave us enough time to work it out but not so much that it became frustrating. We have done over 50 rooms and this was definitely one of the better rooms we have done. Ingenious has done a great job with this escape room. We will definitely be making the hour+ drive to come back to do the rest of the rooms. read more

me and some friends were looking for a fun thing to do for summertime we came across ingenious escape rooms and tried there Dead men tell no tales we escaped with 8minutes and 53 seconds on the clock w the help of our game mater Mary she really helped us out when we needed it. We enjoyed it and are now planning our next adventure soon read more

So fun and the staff was so nice. We were surprised it was in a home, but it was one of the better escape rooms I've done. Definitely will be going back! read more

We have visited Ingenuous three times now. Each time was smooth, clean, great staff, amazing rooms and much more. We've experienced plenty of other businesses for escape rooms but this one bypasses it. We were drawn in due to the fact that it is run by a younger person. He does an amazing job and it's been some of the best escape experiences that we have had. His staff are always professional and polite. Especially Vance. We will definitely be coming again very very soon. Highly recommended!!! read more

It was ok. It's in a neighborhood, which we were expecting, but it still felt strange to be in someone's house. The rooms were ok; we did the Madame LeBlanc and Dead Men (pirate) rooms. The pirate one was better. Both had multiple ways to get to the next step, which some people might like, but for me was confusing. We were left with clues and things we never used by the end of the game. Overall, it wasn't bad, but wasn't the best either. read more

We weren't sure what it was going to be like, but the group ended up having a great time and found the puzzles to be challenging. The decor was clever and the host (Vance) provided a bit of help to keep everything on track. It made for a great birthday party activity. read more

We were a little taken back that the escape room was in an actual house but the reviews were so good we gave it a go. So glad we did. The house is beautiful and in a nice area the host was awesome and our escape room had some really great clues. I've been to about 30 different escape rooms and this was definitely one of The better ones. read more

Had a great time on a short notice booking. Staff was super friendly and helpful, the room we had definitely had some challenging puzzles, but who wants it too easy? Overall I would recommend Ingenious Escape Rooms. read more

One of the best escape room experiences in Bakersfield. Professionally done and challenging. We'll be back to try the other rooms.

So much fun!! Great local business. Challenging, lots of puzzles to solve, and great clues. 10/10

Ingenious Escape Rooms is really cool! Not only is the business owned by a high schooler but the staff here are well trained and awesome to talk to, the rooms are elaborately designed and have great flow, go support a local business rather than the big chains it's a great time! read more

Super amazing experience! We did the Dead Men Tell No Tales room and got out with 8 minutes to spare Mallory was super helpful and great! Thank you so much for a fun time!! read more

Super fun room and a great personable staff. Javen helped us and was super cool about letting us have fun and celebrate our friends birthday. Had so much fun!!! read more

It is a place of residence but inside they have the coolest looking rooms! It may be just a house but is was so cool! Excellent people and very entertaining. My sister and I did it together and we had a blast. will definitely go again read more

Jessy was a great help along with Javen probably one of the best escape rooms I've ever experienced 11/10 would go again

First; you're probably at the right spot! It's in a residential area! I've been to a few different escape rooms and this one is beyond amazing! We did the mob boss room and it was very difficult but so rewarding when we won! We spoke with the creator of the rooms to find out he's only 15!!! Such great clues, back stories and designs with puzzles! Well done, we will definitely be back for the rest of the rooms. Thanks for such a fun experience. read more

The escape room we did was ok, we had fun. The 2 stars is due to the images. We completed the escape room and staff took a few images of us after. We were told they would be uploaded by 9pm.... That was on January 30th.. today is February 10th and still no images. It definitely takes away from the experience. I wanted to add the images in my birthday video as this was part of my birthday celebration but I wasn't able to do so. I reached out to someone who stated they are using a new system and the images would be uploaded at the end of the month, which would've been January 31st but that never happened. Definitely a mood killer. read more

So much fun, the venue is located inside a house but it was honestly better than most escape rooms I've been to before it's awesome what they've been able to do with the space we had a great time we'll definitely be back also kudos to them they're handing the whole covid situation very well. read more

This was mine and my cousins first time experience an escape room , we loved it 11/10 would so recommend, it was so much fun !! Especially the way they set up the rooms and clues and shoutout to Ethan for coming through when we were struggling overall it was the best experience I had !! read more

First time trying the rooms at this location and really enjoyed it!! Super fun, yet challenging. Really enjoyed the course with my family

Ingenious Escape Rooms is one of the best escape rooms I've experienced. I did two of their rooms, the Ransom and Circus room, both of which were difficult rooms with 10-20% completion rates. We completed them both, with 1 minutes to spare and 4 minutes. They helped us when we asked for hints the second time we played, and the first time they gave us hints when they saw we were stuck. They also introduced the types of locks which is very helpful. Their game also didn't have any issues, where I've experienced locks not unlocking because they were broken. They also fixed one of the systems that I accidentally unplugged so we could continue with gameplay. The gamemasters were helpful and nice. They also gave us a 20% discount for our second session. Thank you to Mallory who helped us out. I recommend this place. I will also say don't be sketched out by the location because we were, but they are actually really cool and enjoyable. Not a gimmick, and worth the money. It was an incredible time read more

10/10 the escape rooms are so much fun. we did the pirate room & the leblanc room, they were so much fun & we had a great time! shout out to ethan for helping us with our first time experience! read more
