We have a group of friends that have done multiple escape rooms in LA, Las Vegas, Orange County, and the Inland Empire. My boyfriend and I are at about 125 rooms. Our group of 5 have completed all their rooms in Anahiem and Rancho. The rooms are decorated at a high level and the puzzles are a fun hard. My favorite is the Elevator (Anahiem). Take some time and visit Exodus Escape Room at either or both locations for some critical thinking and fun.

The Mail room was perfect for our 13 year old and his friends. They had a blast. Perfect level of complexity that no one was lost or frustrated. Definitely come back to experience the next level. The Doll House sounds really cool. Thank you to their guide, who did a great job.

I've done all three of EscapeX's rooms now and will join the masses in insisting that this place sets the bar in terms of both production and great puzzles. Curse of the Black Knight is still my favorite of all time and I've done over 20 rooms now, including Stash House and Red Giant in LA. It's the one I recommend to anyone new to the escape room scene. The puzzles in the rooms are not frustrating or pointlessly misleading (which I've experienced elsewhere). They're intuitive, plentiful and enjoyable, giving you plenty of AHA! moments to keep you going. The production is top notch. If had to rank the games, Curse of the Black Sword would be at the top with The Attic a close second, followed by Mafia Heist. The Curse of the Black Sword is a multi-room, multi-level castle that feels utterly medieval with its macabre props and set and walls. We were talking about this for days after doing it. I absolutely loved the immersion of this room and the physicality of it. It's been real tough to find such a satisfying game since. It's meant for 3-4 people. Too many is a crowd. The Attic is a close runner up. Great production, plentiful gruesome clues. Super disturbing and creepy, but no real jump scares. We went with a group of four - each of us having a few games under our belt at the time. There is lots to do in The Attic! You will be busy! I was worried we would need more but we did fine. I prefer fewer participants. Less of a cluster F that way and everyone gets to contribute. This is also a multi-room room. Starts out really scary. Mafia Heist was my third and for my taste it fell a bit short of the other two in terms of the overall adventure. It was done on a smaller scale and your job is to also find all the hidden jewels, money and gold which aren't pertinent to you escaping. A couple times we had to be nudged to do things we were already doing because we were having difficulty triggering the puzzle, so I don't count those as proper clues. Staff has been helpful each time, but my favorite guy is the creator. He's delightfully nerdy and passionate and we got a chance to talk to him after one of the rooms. Mission Escape Games and Cross Roads are also known for their quality rooms, but Mission's rooms, while fun, are not up to the production of EscapeX, and Crossroads, while top notch production, still falls short in terms of group adventure. Your entire group is more likely to thoroughly enjoy an EscapeX game, where as only some of you may love the Hex Room, for example.

An escape room presents a unique challenge: escape from the room within 60 minutes! To succeed, you will need to use your intelligence, imagination, and creativity.
Reviewed By fairgirl59 - Imperial Beach, United States
This is the nicest escape room I've done. Their website is so intuitive and easy to book reservations. All the themed (four) rooms show up for the day with the available times. There is a very clean restroom in the lobby that you can use just before your hour challenge! The staff is friendly and enthusiastic. You can receive hints w/o subtracting time. We did CSI - Hollywood. There were definitely some challenging puzzles, however, we made it through with seconds to spare. We were a group of three.

I've done 2 of the escapes here, and some of my family members and friends have done all 3, and we love them! The variety, the level of detail in each, the total immersion into another reality, the high-quality puzzles and games ... Crossroads is doing A LOT of things right! If you're looking for entertaining, creative escapes, rooms that are built well, and a unique experience with family and friends, this is it. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Irvine's Best Escape Room -- Treasure of the Nation escape now open!
Reviewed By kathyly93
I had such a great time this past weekend with my boyfriend at No.1 Escapes! We played the treasure of the nation holiday edition and it was wonderful that they could accommodate 2 people. I called many escape rooms and they required at least 4 as a minimum. I don't want to spoil the game but the ending was my favorite since it was very festive. The game is linear so it makes it easy to follow the game flow and the puzzles were intermediate in terms of level of difficulty. There is ample parking as well and walkable to many quick bites!

This was my first escape room experience and it completely exceeded my expectations. We did the colonial themed room and it was non-stop fun! Veronica, our game master, was fun and helpful.
