We had an AMAZING time doing the ski lodge escape room with Tony! He gave us such an immersive experience and was an absolute joy for our group of 8. The puzzles were so fun! Would definitely recommend this place! read more

We went as a group of four and had so much fun! Tony was our game master and was an absolute pleasure! He knew our names when we walked through the door and had the kindest personality! The room was spacious, decorated perfectly for the story, and well organized. There were a good amount of clues and riddles to figure out to keep all four members busy at a time. We all had so much fun and escaped (greeted by Tony at the door!) with 29 minutes on the clock and no clues used! So so much fun and we were all talking about it on the drive home. read more

Matt and his escape room was fantastic! He is the game master and his intro really made me feel like I was in the scene ! He was very attentive and while we did use 1 hint when we needed it he was quickly there to help! He surprised us at the end once we escaped and took several awesome photos of us! Then proceeded to tell us we should visit Murray's the restaurant/bar and man was it amazing a very good end to our trip. I would 100% do another one when we come back if he had other escape rooms :) read more

Matt met us with kindness and a great sense of humor, and when he surprised us with a magic trick during the intro we knew we were in for a treat! We played The Inventor's Workshop: The room was so fun and had such a neat story, puzzles were unique and inventive with a wide variety of puzzle styles, and there was enough to keep all three of us busy but still communicating with each other as we searched and strategized. A great room, a fun experience, and an awesome game master - thank you, Matt!! We'll definitely be coming back next time we're in Big Bear! read more

Staff was great! The room we went in was challenging, but we did it. Will certainly go back again.

Definitely take the time during your Big Bear trip to do a Mountain Room Escapes adventure. Matt and Leila are fantastic, the main escape room building is located close to the village and they even have an outdoor scavenger hunt option full of different locations and puzzles to complete throughout the village. We had so much fun with the escape room, we ended up booking the scavenger hunt for the following day. We will definitely be coming back! read more

This was a first-time escape room for 3 of my friends and they absolutely loved it. The Alpine Lodge was a great experience with 2 rooms involved and plenty of space for even a party of 7. read more

We did the escape the cabin room and had so much fun!! All of the puzzles were so thought out and creative. Layla and Matt were very helpful and fun hosts for our experience. Even after our escape, they gave us good food recommendations for the rest of our trip. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting big bear! read more

MY FIRST ESCAPE ROOM! This place was amazing. They accommodated our group last minute, and even let us in being one over the group max (8 ppl). The staff was very friendly. I loved being greeted by Lucy the pet tarantula. We did an escape the cabin theme and really enjoyed our experience. I can't wait to do another escape room! This experience was one of my favorite things we did on our weekend getaway. read more

I had so much fun! This was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Highly recommended!

Talk about a hidden gem! Matt and Tony were fantastic hosts. We have done several escape rooms and this one was by far the most fun we've had. The atmosphere was nice and the puzzles were tough but fun. My husband and I managed to escape with about 1 minute left!! If you're in town please give them a try, they have another location with multiple rooms as well. We will be back the next time we are on the mountain to try and solve the rest of them!! read more

Super fun. Owner was our game master, used different voices when telling the story of the room and our mission. Super cool eclectic atmosphere and experience. read more

Ricky was awesome. We had such a great time!. This really made our family week in Bug near a huge success. His opening act was great and made everyone feel comfortable.

Stopped by for my birthday! Ricky was fantastic & explained everything thoroughly ! Definitely a great experience & will be back!

Mountain room escapes is a perfect way to beat the heat and energize your brain! the staff had excellent customer service! This was my second escape room ever, 1st one I didn't escape. This room was challenging, but we escaped! Yay! Best way to put it is that this is challenging and FUN! You will not be disappointed! $30/per person fair value! read more

We were in Big Bear for an event and were looking for something to do. My boyfriend and I love doing escape rooms and since we had the time, we booked two rooms one after the other. It was awesome because it was just the two of us doing the escape rooms. We did the cabin room and the inventors workshop. The riddles were amazing and the technology integrated in the inventors workshop room was mind blowing. Josh was an amazing host and even offered to bump our reservations up earlier which worked for us. We would definitely recommend this place and can't wait till the next time we are in town for their new rooms they have planned. read more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Mountain Room Escapes. Our family was up in Big Bear for the week and looking for fun activities for our two boys (8 and 10). We were worried that an escape room might be too advanced/spooky for them. Matt was AMAZING. He made the boys feel welcome and was lovely during the game. At one point, my littlest wasn't feeling well and Matt asked if he'd like to sit in the "control room" and rest while he watched us play. Truly above and beyond. At the end, he helped my older son pick out the perfect souvenir and congratulated him on escaping. My kids are still raving about it. The escape room itself is so clever, thoughtful and the perfect level of difficulty (we wouldn't have made it out without a few hints, but we are novices). This combination of creativity and kindness is so special. We will be recommending Matt and Mountain Escape Room to anyone who will listen! Thank you Matt for everything :) read more

My best friend & I drove up here from Redlands to try out their escape room. It was our first time ever; we went into it without knowing anything at all about how to play. The guy working there that night (I wish I could remember his name!) was so awesome! He was incredibly friendly, funny and so helpful. He made the experience so much better than it could have been. It was only the two of us doing the escape room--we thought it might take away from the experience but after we thought it actually enhanced it--and we had so much fun! We thought it was pretty challenging & had a good backstory! Definitely reccommend! Well worth the drive up there. read more

This was my family's first adventure in an escape room. My oldest (16) had done one with a soccer team, but it was all of our other kids (14, 11, and 10) first time. We did the Cabin room, and we had a great time. You have to communicate, which can be tricky with teens that know it all , but we eventually figured it out. I forgot our hosts name, but he was chill, and came in a couple of times because the kids were just tearing through stuff, and you have to keep track of what you're doing. Overall this made us LOVE the idea of doing these types of events as a family, and for sure we will be back. I think any family, office group, friends, date night, should consider Mountain Room Escapes for their next adventure. What a blast! read more

I went on a trip to big bear with my friends and on the last day we went to the escape room and we all had a lot of fun in comparison to Other escape rooms we had gone to! It was a great way to end our trip read more

This is an awesome family event experience. From the initial call Tony was very informative, insightful and helpful. This was our first experience to an ESCAPE ROOM, and it was AMAZING. Tony was very attentive and provided lots of information to us of the clues and rules of the game. This is a definetly an event you would want your family to experience. My children range from 5 years to 13 years and all four kiddos had a blast. They loved the experienced and felt welcome. We tried out the Alpine Ski Lodge and the kids had a blast! Thank you to the Mountain Room Escapes Big Bear for creating an environment that is family/children friendly! Thanks a million Tony for providing the best customer service ever. Your customer service exceeded our expectation and we felt you went beyond the call of duty. My kiddos will remember this experience and we are grateful. read more

Mountain Room Escapes - Had an AMAZING TIME! A MUST do if you are at Big Bear! Thanks Tony for a memorable time! - Escape Games Near Me - Big Bear, California

Mirroring all the 5 star reviews already on here - we had a great time at Mountain Room Escapes. We did the Alpine Ski Lodge escape room. The set up and challenges were fun, clever, and well laid out. Went with 3 adults and our 2 small kids ages 4 and 5. Our 4 year old was a little anxious probably from sensing the grown ups sense of urgency and adrenaline but still enjoyed participating looking for clues around the room and our 5 year old was so proud being able to complete one of the puzzles on his own contributing to our mission to escape. First escape room for both kids and we're grateful Mountain Room Escapes provided a very reasonably priced fun family friendly activity that we were able to enjoy with our little ones while in Big Bear. Will definitely be back to try another room next time we're in town. There was so much snow everywhere in town after the recent storms that there was enough fun snow play in the area to not really need another activity for a short weekend stay but we're happy to have made time during our trip to support local businesses and it ended up being the highlight of our trip! Thank you for an awesome experience and we look forward to coming back next time! read more

So fun!!! What a great adventure activity for working as a team! Okay, well some are better than others but everyone uses their strengths. My husband and I were trying to find something fun to do with our adult kids and their significant others and this fit the bill perfectly! We will always have life long memories of this event and I'm so happy there is something like this to do up here in Big Bear! read more

If you enjoy solving mysteries/puzzles/riddles...then this is for you. I took a group of 5 in total & we all had a blast. The sound effects were pretty intense and we would have been sketched out if we had booked an evening time haha. We made it out, but didn't have enough points or the fastest time to make it onto the leader board. You also get to create a team sign Our host was hilarious, friendly & informative. read more

The experience Tony provided for us was exceptional! We had so much fun! The escape room is well thought out and had many puzzles I have not come across with other escape rooms before. Tony was also hilarious and welcomed us as if we were family. Will 100% come back and try their other rooms as well! read more

This was a great experience! I saw on some other comment/review that it needs to be updated and more upgraded with tech, but I highly disagree. The simplicity of the room and puzzles was more than enough. I went with my fiancee and we had a blast through the room(s). We managed to escape with 5 seconds to spare. One thing, we were very shy about asking for clues. Our host was mindful of the fact that it was only myself and my fiancee, so he threw out clues fairly often to give us a chance. That gave us motivation to keep going. I'd highly suggest this location! *** So just an FYI, the sound effects CAN scare you off if you're not mentally prepared. But, they're JUST sound effects. That's all I can say. *** read more
