This review is long overdue. I was taken here for my birthday back in November and had such a good…read moretime. 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.

We did 2 rooms and this place does not disappoint. We did the Hydeout and Nemesis. Hydeout was…read morereally good, but I think Nemesis is probably my new favorite room and we have done close to 70 rooms

This was our 3rd room with The Escape Game in the past 2 months, so clearly we've been hooked!…read more Tonight, we did The Heist at this location, and our game master, Will, was amazing! We've also done Cosmic Crisis and The Depths, and out of the three, The Heist was probably the most challenging. It definitely required a lot of thinking, and there were a few moments where we felt completely stumped and needed a little help. That said, the puzzles were still logical and satisfying to solve. The theme and storyline were also really unique, and I loved how consistently the theme carried throughout every part of the game. We ended up finishing with about 20 minutes to spare! One thing I really appreciate about The Escape Game is that the rooms are challenging without feeling impossible or far-fetched. We've done escape rooms at other places where the puzzles were difficult simply because the solutions felt like such a reach that they barely made sense. Here, everything feels much more intentional. You may not necessarily need clues, but it's nice knowing that unlimited help is available if you do get stuck. I also love that the rooms aren't horror or fear based, overly suspenseful, or chaotic. But they are just fun and immersive with worth the challenge you're paying for. And a huge thank you to Will! You were so kind, welcoming, and had such great energy from the very beginning. That energy definitely carried with us throughout the game and made the experience even better. We had such a great time! Also because it was my bday, they wrote me a bday card which was soo sweet! Can't wait to try the rest of the games

BIG shoutout to will for being such an awesome game master and for being such a genuine, kind soul. lily and leslie were super sweet as well and made our experience so enjoyable. alright, lets start with timeliner. the concept of time traveling and all the small mechanisms was so cool. fun fact, timeliner is the test room for the tech in cosmic crisis! my friends and i have done a good amount of escape rooms 20+ and timeliner is one we got through pretty quick. its a good room if you want to be wowed by the small details. heist is a more hands-on room compared to the timeliner. this room is one where you yourself have to solve the puzzles rather than the technology solving it for you. it catches you off guard and surprises you with all its mechanisms. highly recommend both rooms to anyone looking for a chill escape room experience.

We read reviews that Magic Castle was a great escape room and it didn't disappoint. We were able to…read morebook the day before for our group of 5. Good variety and difficulty of puzzles, they are linear but we were still able to do a decent amount of solving things in parallel. Main complaint was that they were a bit too helpful with the hints and would give us unsolicited hints when I think we could have solved it ourselves with just a bit more time/thinking. We escaped with a good amount of time to spare! Overall had a good time and would recommend

My family and I have played a lot of escape rooms, but our experience at Escapade playing Pinocchio…read morewas on a completely different level. This wasn't just an escape room; it was a deeply immersive, high-stakes horror experience. What sets this game apart is how incredibly engaging it is. They offer a choice between contact and full-contact levels, and if you really want the ultimate experience, you absolutely must opt for the full-contact version. It elevated the intensity and made the game feel so much more visceral and real. A huge part of why this was such a standout experience was our Game Master, Marcus. He was phenomenal--professional, attentive, and he truly knew how to guide the game to maximize both the scares and the fun. If you're planning to visit, I highly recommend requesting Marcus as your GM. We had an unforgettable time. If you love horror and want a truly immersive, well-designed challenge, look no further than Pinocchio at Escapade. We can't wait to come back!

ROY IS AN AMAZING AND AWESOME GAME MASTER…read more Highly recommend the Curse of the Bayou but because we were aching for more, Roy let us do the other room as well right afterwards - Midnight on the Bayou. Curse of the Bayou is such a fun twist because you'll be competing with your friends to see who can get out the fastest. Clear theme and storyline as well as a few jump scares, LOVE. Midnight was also really well produced! Huge space and so much to look around. Family friendly. Feel free to check the Morty App for potential discounts.

We booked a session at Downtown Detectives as part of a team building activity! Note that this is…read morenot a true escape room - it is outdoors and is more of a scavenger hunt/mystery game with escape room elements. My team and I really enjoyed running around Huntington Beach! It was a really beautiful day and you can't beat being right along the water. The puzzles we thought were on the easy side, but still challenging enough where we took over an hour to complete from start to finish. Most of our team are engineers so we loved the puzzles and caught on quick. The gals who run the activity mentioned that they have other versions that are much more challenging, so we may be interested in the future. Overall, I'd recommend Downtown Detectives! The cost was affordable and we had a blast.

But, this beats them all. The creativity of the clues, outdoor setting & ability to combine all the elements of an escape room, dinner detective type show & scavenger hunt were just awesome, to say the least. My girls & her friends had a blast! We chose the easiest of the mysteries since it was their first time. But, it was still challenging. Definitely bring a water bottle, preferably w/ carrier so you're hands free & wear comfortable shoes. Nina & Jenna were so kind & accommodating, from begining to end. Planning on booking w/ some friends for my own birthday coming up!
