This was so fun! I had never been to an escape room before and there was a really warm and welcoming vibe. The puzzles were challenging but fun and a little unconventional. Lots of appreciation to Tony(and Marilyn)for keeping an eye out for us and giving us hints when we needed them!! Plus, we had another group member that couldn't make it; and Marilyn was super helpful and refunded us with only a $5 charge, which was completely reasonable as we let them know at the last minute. All in all a great experience that really made my group work together! read more

My group and I had been to a couple escape rooms prior to this one. This one is one of the best! Very well thought out and you could tell the creators put a lot of thought and effort into it. Tony was our game master and he was super cool! Highly recommended read more

This is my 8th escape room with my friends and we did the Halloween cabin escape. It was $20 for a 45 minute escape room which was a much greater price than many others we've been to. The puzzles were VERY well made and intuitive. The Halloween room had a very nice eerie feel. There were no jumpscares but it had many psychological scares. read more

Went here last Saturday and had fun. We did the cabin experience, and it was well thought out. Sometimes the escape rooms don't make sense, but this one did. There were some clues that went nowhere, and that made it harder, but added to the fun. We got out in record time with 25 minutes still left on the clock. Go #teamfatmike read more

This was our first time at a facility such as this. We didn't know what to expect, but it turned out to be a great family activity. It had Interesting props, cool theme, and and very friendly staff. Donn't want to give away the story line, but very creative, When in Big Bear, I would recommend this activity for those interested in something different for the family. read more

We have done around 10 escape rooms and finally made the trip from Inland Empire to check this one out. The owner is an enthusiast and it definitely shows in the thoughtfulness and creativity of the puzzles. Joan was friendly and accommodating when we got stuck in traffic. She even gave us an excellent dinner recommendation! No spoilers but there's an unique element of fun for the early finishers. Worth the beautiful drive! read more

This was our first escape room that we've tried out since we're visiting big bear and it was recommended. It's extremely challenging, but in my opinion completely worth it. The experience is basically an hour and 13 seconds, but that doesn't include the time you get to make your poster for your team name. Joan, who was working while we were there was very kind and patient since it was our first time. I recommend this for a family, couples, or anyone that's in the area! It did not disappoint! read more

This was our second escape room experience and it FAR SURPASSED our first! The decor and storyline are fun and you can totally get into it. One of the best parts was that just when we thought we had escaped, there was more to it which made our group get reenergized to keep going; the excitement was a blast! We ended up escaping with five minutes left on the clock and got the debriefing at the end which we really enjoyed. Next time we are in Big Bear, we will return to try their next room for sure! A great time was had by our group of five between the ages of 16-65. Keep it up Mountain Room Escapes! read more

We did this escape room last night and had a great time! The employees did a great job and made the experience even better. The bonus room was a fun and new experience too. read more

Love this!! Such a fun experience!! Great customer service!! Great staff and such fun peraonalities!!

Had alot of fun and killed some time. Wish there was different room experiences so it wasnt a one-time thing. Im sure they will set up a new room setup to bank on returning customers. read more

Sooo much fun!! Regis (the worker) was great. Super nice!!! Highly recommend, you will have a great time! Nice challenge, we got out though!

Great for good family fun! Friendly staff and easy to get to. Had lots of fun with a 16 and a 11 year old. Can't wait to come back again for some more fun!!! read more

What a blast! Joan was a super host. And Matt was great about returning my calls and emails and making sure we were taken care of. This was our family's very first escape room experience and we are so glad we did it here. Fun fun fun. Definitely recommend doing this with a small group if you are up here on a vacation or weekend trip. read more

We went to mountain room escapes for something different to do as a family during our vacation, we had a blast. Working together to solve puzzles and figure out our escape. I would definitely do it again and would recommend this to anyone else it really was a lot of fun read more

WOW! What a time to be alive. Man, this was a ball of a time. What a joy. The room was FANTASTIC. Lots of great puzzles, fun sounds, and TONY! What an angel. read more

This was me and my wife's first escape room experience and we had a blast. The clues are challenging and exciting the whole way through. We finished with just 5 minutes to spare. The staff were awesome. I'd highly recommend it. read more

WOW! On our last night in Big Bear we decided to visit Mountain Room Escapes for something more relaxing (although I was sweating by the end) following a recommendation from a fellow visitor to Big Bear and we were so glad we did. We were made very welcome on arrival and everything was explained extremely thoroughly. As soon as we entered the room we instinctively sprung into escape mode!!! It was probably made more fun the fact that we were able to escape although this was certainly not easy! Post escape we were given the chance to take photos and even given a key souvenir as it is our honeymoon. If you're in Big Bear, this is a must! read more

We have been to escape rooms in New York, Portland and Bakersfield and this is probably the best one we have experienced!!! Matt was definitely the most friendly host we have had!!! HIGHLY recommended!!! read more

This place was a blast. We went here yesterday as part of a bachelor party weekend and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys puzzles. The guy running it was super friendly and a great host. Would highly recommend this place. read more

It is my pleasure to be the very first reviewer for this great business. We took a group of 9 people and everybody had a complete blast. I think this week I am going to have 8 of my employees go for a team building exercise. I think as time progresses this will be an excellent addition for visitors to Big Bear Lake. read more

First actual room escape, but our family has solved a few online (we're nerds, and we're proud). We may have went in overly confident. We thoroughly enjoyed being surprised by how not-hokey this was. We failed to escape, but we were dang close, and we look forward to the next room that Mountain Room Escapes throws our way. We'll be better prepared, so bring it on! read more

I had never done a room escape before and I had a blast doing this one. The experience is completely immersive and the puzzles really follow a story. After I did this escape room I did another one down the hill and had a good time, but the story at Mountain Room Escapes was way better and I think really sets it apart from other rooms. read more

Our group of 6 adults had an amazing time!! Jessie was such a great host. The theme of being "snowed in" was pretty great! The clues were innovative and everyone was able to contribute. We also were the first group to experience the bonus room! Which I absolutely loved. We will definitely be back whenever we visit Big Bear! read more

Me and my 10-year-old son ended up doing the room alone. It was challenging without having a team of people to work simultaneously, but we still had a ton of fun. The puzzles are really clever, and the whole narrative of the room was really well done. Definitely the highlight of our trip. I'd highly recommend it, for kids and adults. read more

We took our family to the escape room and had an awesome time. Matt the owner is extremely friendly, informative and helpful. This was a great family experience where even my twin 6 year olds were able to participate. We will definitely be back as soon as they open up their next room. This is a definite must do in Big Bear. read more

Really clever. Truly enjoyed our hour plus there. Trying to escape was a definite good time! My reasons for not giving 5 stars are 1. It's pricey ($30 per person) and 2. We were grouped with another group. Too many people especially people you don't know don't lead to a great escape. read more

Very Fun Time..... our first experience with an escape room. We went with our two kids, 15&12 and our friends two kids the same age. Very fun, very challenging puzzles and good theme. Something for everyone to do and focus on. We did not quite finish, but we're close.... Will go back for round two..... which continues the story line.... read more

Highly recommend! We did another Escape Room in LA and loved it, so we thought we'd try this one in Big Bear. This was my favorite one by far! The puzzles were fun and the storyline was very well thought out--we were definitely drawn into the story and the entire experience! read more

Great entertainment for a hot Friday afternoon! This is our third escape experience and we loved the twists in this particular escape. Really great staff with Joan who was able to accommodate us a bit early and we had the room to ourselves. Can't wait to try the next room. read more

We haven't even escaped yet but I am already impressed with the great customer service during the booking process!

Excellent fun, we had such a blast! I had done many other escape rooms in the LA area, whereas it was the first one for the other two people in our group. At the end, everyone was all smiles at the rush of puzzle solving and discovery. We plan on returning soon to do other rooms coming soon. Thanks again! Red Legion ftw! read more

This was so much fun. The entire family was engaged even my 4 year old granddaughter. It was not easy but great team work paid off we unraveled the mystery. Would love to try more mystery rooms. read more

Our first experience with an escape room. It was fun and liked the game. We did not make it out, but we were close. Liked the clues, the story line, and having to work together. read more

This place is amazing. Our host, Matt, is really fun and chill. He knows what it means to have a good wholesome time. He was very accomodating to us. 10/10 would go again for the bonus room read more

AWESOME escape room. Really cool experience! I'm just getting into the room escape experience, but this is the best by far. read more

Wow! We have been to a number of escape rooms and this one was the best so far! We had a blast in the Inventor's Workshop. My 15 year old son and I did it together. Great job by the owner putting this together. We can't wait to go back! read more

We had a lot of fun and the owner, Matt was great. He was able to accommodate a special appointment time so we could squeeze in the escape before lunch. He also allowed our friends to bring their baby in the room which was very convenient. I liked that the theme was a ski lodge because I haven't seen that theme anywhere else and it makes sense since they are in Big Bear. The bonus games at the end was also a nice touch that I haven't seen before. If you are spending the day in Big Bear I definitely recommend you go to Mountain Room Escapes, they'll make sure you have a good time. read more

This was mine and my family's first escape and it was the best experience ever! She was very helpful in explaining everything at the beginning (especially if you have never done this). I am very impressed that this was in big bear and so well run! We can't wait to go back and try their next room! read more
