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!

You can tell a lot of effort went into creating a fully immersive experience that makes you forget you're just steps away from downtown. The staff was super friendly but also knew exactly when to flip the switch and lean into the chaos. We had Joey as our host, and honestly... flawless execution. He worked hard to make us feel like we were truly trapped in a scary scenario, sprinkling just the right amount of tension, dread, and "oh no what did we get ourselves into?" energy. It was spooky, fun, and slightly unhinged -- which we loved. We're already planning our return for the Zoe room, and I cannot wait to willingly walk back into fear. If you like your fun a little dark, a little twisted, and very immersive, this is absolutely the place.

Likes: + Scare actors put their heart into their roles…read more Really sold the delivery. + Pretty organized event. + Good use of a radio station channel to employ unnerving music to add to the spooky ambience. + Good use of scare props. + Well priced for the car wash + haunt experience. lol at one point a spooker came close enough to me I could smell his cologne. Didn't know zombies stayed that minty fresh. Non-likes: - Bad traffic regulation. The staff weren't monitoring the car line that extends through the Lincoln Ave-Brookhurt St intersection. I was waiting at the intersection on Brookhurst St's north side at the red light waiting to turn right, when a certain car from the south side of Brookhurst St turned left and cut right in front of me, thereby blocking the intersection. What they were supposed to do is go straight through the intersection and then make a U-ey and get in line properly like the rest of us. - The vacuums were non-operational that evening. Wish they had mentioned this in advance. The eventbrite tickets didn't mention this. - The rear windshield of my car was still very dirty after the wash.

I was excited to try this on a whim but found it underwhelming especially for the price tag. I went…read moresolo only because of my travel circumstances, and I had some good fun moments with the actors. The actors who were there were putting on a decent show. And I just LOVE the idea of them getting through your window and hopping into your car! I had some really fun and spooky interactions with a few of them. I understand they don't have much room to work with as far as set pieces, so if you're looking for themed rooms or facades like the hayride, this is definitely not for you. Given how long the wait was last night (though understandably as it was the Saturday before Halloween), versus how much time was spent actually experiencing what the haunt had to offer, I just don't think this experience was worth the price tag. Speaking of the price tag real quick, I also struggled to understand the validity behind their pricing tiers online. The prices change based on what time you say you're going to be there in line for the attraction. But it didn't seem to matter. I played the honest game, and bought the ticket for the time I said I could arrive , but I think I spent an extra $15 for absolutely no reason. I don't think $44 is worth a car wash and 5 minutes of interaction with actors. In my opinion they still could have made this a 4 star haunt if they hired more actors. There were SO many cars in line once you got on the car wash property and I think it was grossly misused by keeping their actors in one small area.

The whole aesthetic here seems to be a combination of Japanese and Chinese horror which to me is super creepy... i mean, Ju-on (The Grudge)??? I went with a group of four but they only let two in at a time. There was no line which was strange being that it was Halloween night. The staff was really friendly and even asked if we wanted it less scary or really scary. I chose "less scary" because of the two girls with us that were afraid :P‍ That said it was still eerie and had a good amount of scares. The best part is (again) the style of costumes and viewpoint of horror, spirits and ghosts in Asia. I won't spoil the specific scares but there is one part in particular where I had an "oh hell nah!" moment 0_0 The maze seemed kind of short, maybe 7 minutes, but i wasn't counting. There weren't really any extravagant special effects which could be good or bad depending on the person. I feel a haunted house can be good without all of the over-production. That said, this does feel like a lower-budget haunted house, but at $15, I found it to be worth it and my group had fun too I hope this maze gets more business because it could be a little bigger and get more staff for scaring. It's such a refreshing take on haunted houses though and I want this place to be around for more Halloweens!

The whole experience starts before you even get on the ride, especially with the stretching room, which never gets old no matter how many times you've done it. Once you're in the doom buggy, the ride really shines. The scenes are super detailed, and there's always something new to notice each time. The ballroom scene with all the ghosts is probably my favorite--it's just classic Disney storytelling. And of course, the hitchhiking ghosts at the end are always a fun touch. Wait time can get long, but it usually moves pretty steadily, and it's 100% worth it. Overall, it's one of those must-do rides every time you visit--timeless, creative, and just a really fun experience.

My boyfriend and I heard about Eulogy Collective through Instagram and decided to go through the Sweet Love maze. We had a blast!! As someone who loves going through mazes for the set designs and story lines, Eulogy Collective did a fantastic job. The scares were really great (every scare got me) but the attention to detail is incredible. I will say it is on the pricer side but what really makes me want to come back is to see what they will do for the next maze. The staff is incredibly kind and the scare actors who walk around outside are incredible. I am not sure how it usually (we went on Valentines day) but the wait to get in was pretty long, however it is so worth it because they make sure each group is experiencing the maze on their own. We will be coming back for Easter!

I must say this maze had me since the queue.

Haunted CGI mirrors of Sarah Marshall were strewn about, along with a creepy baby for good measure. 2 "scary groots" near the end were simply adorable! The piece de resistance of the maze is also quite cool, which I won't spoil. Origins - The Curse of Calico is a worthy new addition to the scare mazes at Knott's Scary Farm, hence the posted 45 minute wait the first of two times I visited the maze. The place settings & decor are quite convincing, and warrant a second trip, of which I managed to do close to when the park was closing. Since this is the final year for Special Ops:Infected, Origins - The Curse of Calico may be my new favorite Knott's Berry Farm scare maze. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/originsthe-curse-of-calico-buena-park-2?select=Cmo99ppTKNbTSFEd6_hUEQ Highly recommend!
