This has to be one of the best if not THE best escape rooms in SoCal. I tried both rooms they offer and was amazed. Each one felt like I stepped out of reality and into a totally different world. Props to the owners for their great hospitality and hard work on the rooms. The place is very clean and inviting will definitely be recommending to family and friends! read more

Made us use parts of our brains I have never used before - also gave my kids something to do without a remote control in their hands - loved it! read more

One of the most immersive escape rooms I have done! I absolutely loved it and so did my little brothers(ages 12-14).

My daughter and I got paired up with 4 others and we escaped with two hints. The room we escaped from was called the gold rush and it was awesome. It was a super fair room. We will be back for conspiracy! read more

Great experience! This was our 9th escape room, and it was a lot of fun. The decor and ambiance were spot-on for the theme. We were able to escape with only 2 players with 6 minutes left on the clock. Super nice people running the place. Great clues and puzzles to solve. We will be back for their second room! read more

The Gold Rush room was fantastic, can't wait to do the Conspiracy room. Theme and puzzles are top notch and the staff was superb!

This review is for the Gold Rush Room. Best Escape Room we've faced in the Temecula area by far. Fantastic production value, and some very clever and creative clues to solve. This is billed as a non-linear room, and while it does not necessarily follow a linear A to B to C model, there are plenty of linear elements to the room that you could miss if you approach with a strictly non-linear mindset. With two first timers in our group, it was the perfect level of difficulty to introduce them to escape rooms, but still challenging enough to hold the interests of the escape room veterans in the group. A few of the puzzles can be solved before you have all of the pieces, if you know what you're looking for/know how to manipulate your locks. Hint system allows for unlimited tips as they want you to succeed. Specific puzzles also have some hints placed near by to help guide players in the right direction. While the puzzle hints may seem superfluous for experienced players, they did help our new players. The lobby/waiting area has a restroom, water, and snacks (if you're clever enough), which was a welcomed addition we've never seen in an escape room lobby. Our game master (owner?) was polite and friendly, thoroughly explaining the rules to the room and answered any questions we had before entering. read more

We've done 5 escape rooms so far and this was our first MindTrap one. We did the Gold Rush! We had a blast. We had two adults, a 8 and a 5 year and all of us had a great time. The theme is amazing. You really feel like your somewhere else. The staff was great and the puzzles were fun and tricky without being too advanced! We are looking forward to trying more MindTrap escape rooms! read more

SO MUCH FUN. This was my second escape room. My family and I did the Gold Rush room and we escaped with just two minutes to spare. The room is well done and it feels as if you're thrown back in the time era of the gold rush. I would highly recommend for beginner and intermediate escape room enthusiasts! read more

Awesome escape room! First one with more than one room! Exceptional attention to detail! Thank you so much Nathan and Vince! Highly recommend! We did the Excaliber (3 of us) so much fun, needed some hints, but they were perfect. Loved it, will be going back to do the ww2 one next! read more

This was so much fun! We all had a blast. I brought my two boys (9 +13 yrs) here for their birthday along with a few friends. We did the gold rush room. The puzzles were challenging enough to make it hard but not to hard to make us give up. We ended up finishing with just 7 minutes to spare. Would definitely recommend this place. read more

Out of all the escape rooms I've done, MindTrap has the best rooms! I love how friendly the staff is and love the flow in all their rooms! Can't wait to try there new rooms! read more

This escape room was super fun!! I went with some friends in a private room and had a blast. I highly recommend it. The staff was really friendly and the rooms were challenging yet enjoyable. Definitely a must do! read more

Definitely a must go!! Both rooms are extremely fun, but challenging enough to get everyone in the room intrigued. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. Once you do one room, you never want to stop. Highly recommended!! read more

Wow! What a great experience. The scheduling was so easy and the staff was so nice to work with on this Girl Scout Event. I'd highly recommend MindTrap. read more

This was our 1st time. I brought my 9 year old daughter. We did not know what to expect. Brilliant customer service and very accommodating. Its a family owned business and they made our experience unforgettable. Money well spent for the brain better than a video game. read more

My 14 year old daughter and her friends just loved playing Conspiracy. It was a more experienced room but the girls were able to solve it and escape within the time allowed.They had so much fun working together as a team to solve clues and make it out before time expired. Based on the girls experience, I would recommend this fun event for groups or birthday parties. *Hopefully they will offer new rooms a few times a year so people can come back often. read more

Excalibur room was really immersive & had tons of great content to enjoy. Highly recommend to any skill level. Puzzles make sense & aren't rage inducing if you mess up a few times. Game flows well & has gorgeous props. Can't wait to comeback to play the other games! read more

My first experience with an escape room and it was so much fun! The staff was incredibly friendly and they have locked boxes you get to practice on before going in. The rooms are challenging but fun and not too spooky if you have kids. So much fun to do with friends I did a private room with mine and it was so so fun! Can't wait to do another! read more

We had so much fun at the MindTrap Escape Room! This was our first ever experience, and we are hooked! We tried out the "Gold Rush" room. The inside of the room is beautifully decorated and makes your feel immersed in the story. The clues were so fun and some of the special effects in the room were awesome! I also had my two younger sisters with me (age 12 & 10) and they absolutely loved it! The owner was also extremely friendly. Check this place out for sure if you are looking for a unique and exciting experience! read more

MindTrap Escape Room in Temecula is a true adventure! We surprised our son for his 50th birthday (with daughter-in-law and two teenaged grandsons) joining in the fun. The six of us played the Gold Rush Room; (all of us first-time "escapees"). What a blast, soooo much fun! Thankful for "clue man Bill" who was awesomely helpful, as well as all the staff there... Everyone was friendly and upbeat, made the whole experience feel like a party! Looking forward to enjoying their other rooms in the near future. Don't miss out on a great family/friends happening--go participate in an entertaining event! read more

My family has completed about 20 escapes rooms and even though we live more than an hour away, we came back to MindTrap to do another one. Gold Rush was amazing in Temecula and was one of our best experiences yet. So we came back to do Oz too..it did not disappoint. Strong immersive theme, great effects, variety of challenges, magnetic sensor activators that pop things open and such, creative ways to put clues together. There were enough tasks that we could split our time and work on different elements Just super fun and well done. I should mention that the young man who greeted us was the best "host" we've ever had...friendly, encouraging, answered our questions with enthusiasm and professionalism. It was Great to have an activity we can do during these crazy covid times. We intend to come back to do all the rooms in temecula and murrieta (those suitable for the under 17 family fun anyways). read more

Great escape room! Challenging and so fun. Really makes you think. Great special effects and theme to our room. We found the fuel cell!

My friends and our husbands had a weekend planned in Temecula. We decided we would go to this Escape Room. We had a fantastic time. The only complaint is it was over too soon. The staff was fantastic and the Escape Room really made us think. We will definately be back on our next trip to Temecula. Thank you MindTrap Escape Room! read more

We had a great time cracking the gold rush riddle, which included a healthy dose of stress and panic to make you feel alive. The staff was kind and professional. read more

Fun place, bad smell. Smells good at first then Jack forgets febreeze so the smell becomes worse. Minus .2 stars. Also there was a fly on the hand sanitizer by the door... minus .1 stars. Star total - 4.7 read more

very fun to do with a group of friends and this place has new and fresh ideas for the escape rooms. will definitely be returning.

The decor truly makes you feel like you're in the story. My family had a great experience here, it was very fun!

My daughter and 5 of her friends did the Gold Rush room for her 14th birthday! They had a blast and couldn't stop saying how much fun they had. Some of the kids had done an escape room before and some had not, but they all said they loved it! It was super easy party for me to plan and the staff was great! I would definitely recommend this for anyone looking for a fun activity to do for a party. read more

We booked gold rush for date night and we had a blast!! This was our first escape room and we will definitely be going back for Conspiracy room. Room was very well put together and staff was very friendly. Overall a great experience. read more

This was our first Escape Room ever. We took the family: my husband and I and grandma, son 7, and daughter 5 to the Gold Rush themed room. We all had a great time! Our children loved looking for clues and helping to solve the puzzles. Very well designed room. Lots of inventive ways to create clues and surprises emerged as we solved puzzles. We learned not to wait too long to ask for a clue if your group is feeling stumped. Once you get that clue it really opens up the game. Very fun and thrilling! Will do again! read more

It was my first time to go an escape room & I really didn't know what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised. We did the Gold Rush & was truly entertained. The place was well themed & the challenge was fun. It was a great double date night. read more

Great experience and the room is very immersive. I will totally recommend this room to any of my friend. Nathan is great host. Me and my friends are keep talking about this game after the we finished. The puzzles is very unique and the decor is very cool. Thank you for the great experience : ) read more

We had such a wonderful time!! The conspiracy room is well done, very engaging, and challenging! We will definitely be back to try the other room! Thank you for a great time. read more

Let me just say this place has 2 great rooms. I really liked Gold Rush. The room has beautiful decor and has great ambience. Nathan and Emma are great at what they do. Keep it up guys!!! read more

This was the first time our family did an escape room and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The owners were very friendly and helpful answering our first time questions and explaining how the game worked. We chose the Conspiracy room and hoped we would be able to finish it. The room had a variety of complicated challenges and clever puzzles to solve. I recommend bringing at least four people to multi-task as there is a lot to do. Also, having many different perspectives and skill sets makes it more fun and creates a team-like experience, not to mention that you can pass something off to someone else if you are stuck! It got pretty intense as the clock wound down, but we all had a great time and were very proud of ourselves for finishing with 42 seconds to spare. We would definitely do it again and highly recommend the MindTrap location. read more

My wife and I played both Gold Rush and Conspiracy. Both rooms were great, with logical puzzles throughout and unexpectedly cool set design, which surprised us in Temecula after having played games in Vegas. The best part of our experience, though, was our gamemaster/host, who was the owner's daughter. Her customer service was amazing! and she did a brilliant job providing hints when needed. The more games we have played, the more we have come to realize that customer service and game mastering makes or breaks the experience. MindTrap got it right. read more

My husband and I tried out the conspiracy room. It was our first escape room challenge and though we didn't know what to expect, we had a great time! And yes we did escape, but only because we asked for a few hints! We will definitely try to go back for the gold rush room. read more

We have ventured into both rooms. We were able to complete both rooms in time but was still a challenge. We would highly recommend Mind Trap to anyone that is looking for a fun adventure. The staff is friendly and very accommodating. Loved the experience. read more

Really awesome escape room! They have two different room options that have two unique concepts. The rooms are set up and decorated to where you really feel like you're in the scenario they give you. The employees there are the sweetest and very helpful with hints during the game and really hospitable before and after the game! I've done both of their escape rooms and would highly recommend both to everyone! read more
