This review is long overdue. I was taken here for my birthday back in November and had such a good time. We did the "Darkest Hour" escape room and had to match wits with the serial killer. So fun. I'm kicking myself for not being able to remember the name of our game master (tall woman, red hair?) so, I'm sorry for that. But she was terrific. Knew when to let us try to figure things out on our own, and knew just when we might need a hint to nudge us along. She ran a great game and made the experience so much fun for us. The game itself is challenging. You really need to pay attention and use your head. The production value is terrific and the layout of the room is amazingly creepy. If you're looking to have a good time with friends and want to do something different, I recommend Mission Escape Games. It's a ton of fun. read more

4.5 rounded up to 5*. The only negative was that the place was a bit run down. Other than that, we had a GREAT time! Everything was well-organized and the staff was incredibly friendly! One of our team was running late and the staff was very accommodating in letting her in after our start time. The puzzles were interesting and creative, and just difficult enough to make it fun! We escaped in the end! You can have photos taken afterwards. I would definitely go again and try one of the other escape scenarios. read more

Super fun!! My group & i did the hydeout which is a mystery. The puzzles are just difficult enough to be fun but not too hard so youre struggling for awhile. The decor is cool, old timey, and mysterious. We did escape! I cant wait to come back and try more. Thank you Gamemaster Lee (leigh?)!! read more

This was such a fun experience! It was my first time going to an escape room and it was a great experience from end to end, total time is around an hour. Easy and organized check-in process, fun game masters, and a lot of little extra silly things to mess with you when you are in the escape room. We did the horror room, The Darkest House. A ton of places to walk around and eat at if you decided to stay and hang around after. read more

We escaped the End of Days room at Mission Escape Games! Jennifer was so nice and helpful. She explained everything clearly and saved us by providing hints throughout our experience. Her support was like a warm light guiding us through, and I felt like she was genuinely proud of us escaping. The room itself was so immersive and cool! I had a lot of fun solving the puzzles and experiencing the atmosphere. I would definitely come back to try escaping from a different room! read more

Mission Escape Games is tucked away on the second floor of the Anaheim Garden Walk, and it's absolutely worth a visit. Booking online was super easy - lots of available time slots and clear options for their five themed rooms (priced at $39 per person). They also seem to accommodate walk-ins but I still recommend making a reservation to secure your spot. We planned an escape room outing last minute and did a booking over the phone. They were super accommodating. My group chose The Nemesis since we have already done their other rooms and this theme is a great addition to their collection. It is a little bit on the harder side so I would not recommend doing this one first if you're new to escape rooms. My only gripe is that they used AI images for some of the visuals and it still looks strange to me but the puzzles themselves are solid! There were five of us and that was the perfect amount. This room specifically had linear and nonlinear elements, so everyone had something to do. Big shout out to Faith, who made the experience even better with an awesome attitude and the straightforward instructions. At the end, they take a group photo and email it to you. They also let you take a photo with your phone. Tip: Don't forget to bring your parking ticket - they validate it for you! read more

Alyssa was the best game master to have, me and my group had a great time, definitely will be back

My boyfriend and I love doing escape rooms and do them quite often. We were in town for a little vacation and decided to go here since I had gone here years ago and enjoyed it. It's been upgraded since then and they've added so many rooms. We did End of Days and it was so cool!! It was so different than any escape room I've done. Lolly was the best and made the whole experience perfect! read more

Great escape room! I would recommend. Staff was friendly and helped as this was our first experience with escape rooms. read more

Mission Escape games is located on the second floor of the Anaheim garden walk. I do recommend reservations but I do think they can accommodate walk ins. Booking is easy which is done online with ample of time slot choices and 4 escape room options that are $39 per person. We did the bank heist and it was a good time for sure! We did this room with only three of us and the employee said it's a bit better with more people as you have to travel throughout the rooms but we managed and made it out with 1 minute to spare! Shout out to Kayla for the hints and being very informative and fun. They also take a group photo at the end and email it to you which is appreciated! I will definitely be back to try the horror theme room! **tip bring your parking ticket so they can validate it for you! read more

Second time coming here. The first time, I played Escape the Hideout, and this time I did Operation: End of Days. Both escape rooms were very well thought out, with completely different challenges and no overlap between the two. Each room was nicely decorated to match its theme, which made the experience more immersive. I was able to escape both rooms and really enjoyed my time here. The staff was friendly and made the whole experience fun and welcoming. read more

Very cool escape rooms, Nemesis is one of the best my crew has done. Staff is very friendly and can validate 1 hour of parking. I would recommend having some experience with escape room communication, the rooms are probably a bit challenging for novices. read more

First escape room. On my list of things to do for awhile. We had such a great time! Able to make reservations in person and experience Escape the Hydeout, beginner level. So much fun! Friendly end helpful staff. read more

Had such a fun time doing the darkest hour escape room! Alyssa was our game master and she was awesome! She was super understanding and worked with us to decrease the jump scares for someone in our group. Still a really fun experience and the room fit the eerie/suspenseful vibe. It was really well done. Would definitely come back to do the other escape rooms here. read more

Wowwwww!!! What an amazing 1st experience! This was by far the best memory I am going to cherish with my family! First off, we passed this on the way to Billy Beez. Once I confirmed bank heist was not much for my kids we booked. It was my kids first time! PK was the best host & made sure we were comfortable & ready! My kids couldn't stop talking about how much they liked him! This was the best 1st experience & we will definitely be back! read more

LOVED our time @ mission escape games. we had a huge group and we were a little late but they were so understanding! tiffany, our game master, was absolutely awesome. she was so fun to talk to and made the whole adventure / experience sm more exciting. i love how she recapped and helped us take pics - legit the best!! give that girl a raise she deserves it esp for being willing to stay a bit overtime (but we completed our game 13 min before it was over so she didnt have to YAY!) luv u tiffany!! as for the game, it was so fun! we had to switch from heist to another one w/ a mad scientiest or smth but it was still fun. i got carried by my friends but like i love how they didnt make clues too obvious and stephanie wouldnt point out what we need exactly but just gave us little nudges if we're running behind time - so awesome sauce. THANK YOU! read more

I came here with family for a fun activity while visiting. We had such a fun time completing mission hydeout. Our game master did a great job explaining the rules and hints of the game. The hints that were given were great in timing and didnt give away too much information. For half of our group this was a first time escape room, and this was a great room for beginners. Everyone in the group had a fun time and this left us wanting to do more escape rooms. The room was well decorated and hints dispersed throughout the room so everyone had a chance to figure out a puzzle. Park on the 4th floor of the parking garage for closest access to the escape room location. They will validate parking that lasts 35 minutes after leaving. read more

We had a great time here and Bella was super friendly and made our experience memorable. Thank you for having us!

Coworkers and I came here Thursday night as a bonding activity / going away experience. Bonus points certainly given for offering midweek discounts, resulting in a 35$/person fee. Given our 12 person party, we split up into two groups to conquer each the Darkest hour & End of Days. Molly, our game master, was very kind and certainly played the role of game master well for our group. The clues were a bit challenging in our End of Days but the hints provided to us by Molly were perfect, affording us more direction without completely spoiling the lock / challenge. Having done the Hyde and Jekyll room before at this location, I can confidently say I'd recommend this escape room! read more

Best Birthday Ever (and also mild trauma, but in a fun way) This was our second time at Mission Escape Games, and once again, they successfully trapped my son's birthday party crew in a room for an hour -- so, basically parenting WIN. We did The Darkest Hour, which was appropriately spooky but still teenager-friendly (no actual therapy needed afterward... probably). The storyline was solid, the puzzles were clever, and most importantly, Lee was an escape room wizard. Upon hearing it was my son's 16th birthday, Lee went full birthday ninja and snuck his name onto a BLOODY FRIDGE -- which is honestly the coolest and most disturbing gift he's received to date. She even gave him a special task during the room, making him feel like the chosen one (and probably insufferable to his friends for a week). Massive shoutout also to Joel, who hosted last year's party for Operation: End of Days -- hands down the best escape room we've ever done. Joel is 98% of the reason my son wanted to come back this year (the other 2% was probably the idea of locking his friends in a room and bossing them around for an hour). Pro Tip: Keep your party crew to 6 people max for optimal puzzling. Any more, and someone's going to be stuck in the corner pretending they know how to open a lock. We can't wait to come back and get trapped all over again. Thank you for making my now 16-year-old feel like a horror movie hero. read more

First time trying an escape room and it do not disappoint. It is fun for everyone, adults and kids! We did the Hydeout with our kids (9 amd 11) and it was so much fun! We all had a fun time, Ryan our room host was excellent, funny, and made it a great experience for us. We will definitely be back to try the other rooms! read more

One of my fav escape room spots in OC!! I've done 3/4 rooms so far - just did their Bank Heist and End of Days room, both of which were super immersive experiences and had unique challenges to each room. My friends and I ended up doing both rooms back-to-back and were able to escape both, End of Days being a little more difficult as it is a very unique environment and a lil scarier but not at all a horror room. I'd say their rooms are on the pricier side but ik they occasionally have promo codes (e.g. for weekday games) and they do have great production quality that make for exciting group activities. All the workers there are super nice and helpful + a special shoutout to Alexis for being such an amazing gamemaster!! I'd love to come back if they have more rooms...or whenever I muster up the courage to take on the serial killer room... read more

First time at Mission Escape Games and we had a blast! Our leader was Alyssa and she was extremely fun and kind. She made our first time experience very memorable! We will definitely be back to try out a different room! read more

Booked a last minute escape room the day of on a Tuesday night! We had no problem booking for a group of 6 since it was in the middle of the week. We parked in the garage and remember to bring in your parking ticket to get it validated! Be sure to come in early so you can sign the waiver. We chose the DARKEST HOUR and let me tell you I was scared to my bones :'c they did a really good job with theatrics and the escape room itself was set up really well! Staff was super friendly right from the beginning and they're really into character when they're explaining the room. Overall a very scary and fun experience! read more

This is our second time at Mission Escape Games. My family and I had a blast. The team is amazing our game coordinator on the 1st and 2nd time were sweet, friendly and very performative in order to pump you up before the game. My kids want to go back to complete all the attractions. read more

First time trying mission escape room and it has to be a great experience I loved it!! We were laughing & having a great time

We reserved The Darkest Hour escape room online, and they have availability for the same day. It is located on the 4th floor of this mall that is across Downtown Disney. Our game master has a very lively personality, and he explained everything very clearly. There were limited light source inside this escape room. All the furnitures and props were well made. They did not look cheap at all. The room was creepy and scary, but we beat it with 3 min left for just the 2 of us. Parking is free for the first hour, and they validated us for the second hour. Will come again for other escape rooms. read more

The setup is very nice. High production value and difficult puzzles. These are the only reason it gets 2 stars. The game master was AWFUL. The preset clues are AWFUL. We mashed the clue button for almost 10 minutes and didn't get any help. Frustrating when you're trying to do a room with a couple of kids trying to have fun and escape. read more

Have been here 3 times now. Totally recommend. High level puzzles. Great memories. Staff was very helpful. Will be back!

We did the bank heist escape room and it was very fun! Thank you so much to faith for the hints she gave us and overall kindness, would definitely come back again!! read more

There are plenty of parking spaces in the garage and it is pay to park, but the escape room will validate your parking. The escape room is located on the 2nd floor. Once you arrive, you sign waivers and once everyone is here, the staff will show you to your room and you can get started. We did the Darkest Hour theme room and it's supposed to be the scary theme (but no live actors). The puzzles were great and not too hard to solve depending on your group. You also get unlimited hints if everyone in the group agrees to a hint. Overall, great story, puzzles, staff, and theme. Recommendation(s): - Darkest Hour Service: 5/5 Tip(s): - They validate your parking for you - Located 2nd floor - Restroom available before you start your game - No live actors for Darkest Hour theme room read more

What an amazing experience. This was our first escape Room, so we didnt really know what to expect. We were blown away. This was a family experience to celebrate my son's birthday and he chose the Bank Heist. Great puzzles with lots of surprises that I wont spoil. Can't wait to try another of the levels in the future. Joel, our host, did a great job of providing customer service and getting us all hyped up. Highly recommend. read more

Had the best game today with my friends. The staff Alyssa is so friendly and guiding us through completing the game quickly. Thank you, will return. read more

Alyssa was awesome and gave our group such a great experience with our Bank Heist! This room was perfect for us being mostly beginners. We had lots of fun and she truly matched our energy and made us feel more excited. Thank you for a great escape! read more

Fantastic service, jolly good time, and not only did I enjoy completing the puzzles, but I was wow'd by the creativity in creating the keys and locks. Our game master, Tiffany, was understanding, fun, and informative throughout. Mission Escape was also very understanding of our logistical problem and was willing to work with us and make whatever adjustments they could - no guarantees but we understood. 10/10 recommend the End of Days! read more
