These scavenger hunts are SO one-of-a-kind and have just the right amount of challenge (they're…read moretough and mind-stretching for sure, but not impossible to solve). Each of the locations are so unique, so even after you've done one, you will have a completely different experience at another location. It's one of my goals to hit up every location the mastermind and creative genius, Alex, has designed, and I'm well on my way with only one location left. In my opinion, these hunts are way more fun than an escape room because (1) they're longer -- 3-4 hours vs. 1-hour escape rooms -- thus more bang for your buck; (2) they involve walking around beautiful beach cities so you get exercise while enjoying the sun, fresh air, and creation; (3) they allow you to observe and appreciate art, monuments, and plaques you would normally otherwise overlook and walk right past; (4) they're designed so as you're walking between places, you can also chit chat with your teammates; and (5) they provide live competition against all the other teams and therefore fun motivation to work quickly and efficiently. I participated in my first Murder Mystery Scavenger Hunt back in 2015, and I can confidently say that even after running these events for so many years, Alex is still just as passionate, invested, responsive, and funny. I cannot recommend these scavenger hunts enough!

STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND LISTEN!…read more Once you hear these six words, you know that you are in for an evening of always entertaining team trivia with the guys and gals from Pop Quiz Trivia (the artist formerly known as OC Pop Quiz). In the fall of 2013, Pop Quiz Trivia started at Kelly's Korner Tavern in Placentia (they've been around longer than that tho) and we happend to be there on one of their first nights. At first, we were mildly annoyed by the host (sorry, Dougie) because he was interrupting our beer drinking with his trivia game. After initially declining to play in the first round, we quickly realized that we knew many of the answers that he was looking for. We entered the game in the second round and before we realized it, a trivia team monster was born. Typically, Pop Quiz Trivia's games consist of six rounds of team trivia play. Rounds 1 and 6 ususally consist of six one point questions and one bonus question. If you are lucky enough to get bonus question correct, you will have the opportunity to roll the bonus dice (or die if you prefer). The result of your roll could get your team beers purchased by the host, the opportunity to win more points, or the opportunity to steal a point from another team. Rounds 2 is typically a 10 point round that centers on one specific topic. You may have identify nine movies based on a brief plot description and then your 10th point is earned by determining what is the common thread with all nine movies. Round 3 is usually a nine point round with one bonus question. There are only three questions in the round but each question has three opportunities for you to score points. Round 4 is the picture round where you have to identify the object in the picture. It can be harder than it sounds. Round 5 is the most hated round of the game - the Who Am I round. In this round, you get five questions to identify someone that is truly a household name. After each question is asked, the amount of points that you can receive decreases by two. Also, once you turn in your answer, you can not change your answer and if you are incorrect - NO POINTS FOR YOU! (There is nothing more depressing than pulling the trigger too early and missing out on all points for this round). Here's a little known tip for this round. If you turn in your answer BEFORE any of the clues are read and you are correct, you will earn 20 points. Good luck with that! Also in rounds 1 and 6, there is the opportunity to make a double or nothing wager. If you believe you have all six questions answered correctly, you can check the double or nothing box earn 12 points for a perfect round. If you have one question wrong though, you get a goose egg for that round and it will be difficult to come back from that. The host will review the standings after each round so you'll know how your competition is doing. At the conclusion of the game, prizes are awarded to the top three teams. What these prizes are truly depends on what location you are playing at. It could be cash, it could be a percentage off of your tab, or it could be a gift card for future visit to the establishment that you are playing at. The games are quite spirited. Rivalries definitely develop but so have some friendships with people that otherwise you probably wouldn't have chatted with. In order to be successful at this game, you do have to carefully consider how you construct your team. It would be difficult to be successful at this game without have an effective balance of both genders and a variety of ages on your team. This isn't just about sports, movies, and history. There is going to be a question about Project Runway on here so be sure your team can "make it work." Our team has played at Kelly's, Slater's 50/50, C4, and The Post. We don't always win but it is always a good time. Because we've been to a number of their locations, we've seen almost all of the hosts do there thing. Each one of them brings something different to the game and makes it their own. If you are looking for something different to do during the week, check out the closest Pop Quiz Trivia location to you. It is a fun way to hang out with your friends on a school night.

Doug who's the head of it knows wtf he's doing and makes it a point to make his games fun and entertaining with his banter. If you see them scheduled somewhere near you definitely check them out. The experience and the game setup seems superior to other hosts in the area. Definitely worth checking out.

Lots of things to do in this room, you'll definitely get your money's worth with tasks and puzzles. I'd be very much interested in coming back and trying the other rooms at this location.

Phones aren't allowed in the rooms and they provided lockers to leave personal belongings. There were 5 different rooms to choose from. We chose to do the Zombie Apocalypse. They have two rooms that are supposed to be scarier and two that are not scary at all. The zombie was in between. We had one hour to complete the room. The room had a bunch of clues. Some were easier than others. We actually bypassed 3 of the locks because we accidentally got the factory reset. That took a little bit out of the fun for us since we didn't need to find the codes for those locks. We end up finishing with 26 minutes left on the clock. Our game master helped out with clues when we needed it and got stubborn and stuck on a single clue. There was 6 of us and total came out to $42/person. This room was fun, but for this price, I was expecting a more intricate escape room with more rooms or interactions. I'd be fun to come back to try the other rooms they have, but I might prefer to go to a different escape room instead.
