The Mask of the Jade Warrior! Welcome back to my escape room blog! The next escape room my group and I did was: This is one of LA's most popular locations. The Escape Room LA currently has   four options: The group consisted of six people (Alex, Bryan, Kenny, Joanne, Jeric and Candace) + two additional strangers (which names I have forgotten already).  We decided to try our luck in The Pyramid ! The Pyramid Set out on an expedition to a hidden jungle pyramid in search of The Mask of the Jade Warrior, a fabled lost treasure of the Maya. The mask is hidden in a secret tomb deep within the ancient pyramid. But to find it, you must solve the pyramid’s perplexing puzzles, riddles and challenges. Will you find the jade mask and escape?

This Space Ship is Far Out!   The next escape room location that my group and I did was at: I found this location on Groupon and found a pretty good deal. However, I called them to book the room in advance and they gave me a promotional code that I will share with you at the end of this review! The Room - Live Escape Room LA in Los Angeles, CA (North Hollywood) has two options to choose from: The group that I was with this time around was (Bryan, Kenny, Joanne, and Jun). We decided to try our luck in the Spaceship . The Spaceship The Spaceship had ~34.8% escape rate at the time we went. It was the easier room of the two. Basically, the escape room was about finding a spaceship where we needed to find out what happened to previous members. The Description In 2013, NASA sent the USS Conquest on the first manned mission to a galaxy other than our own. Radio silence was expected, but it came as a shock when The Conquest sent a transmission saying they ha...

Tea Cups, Clocks, Tables and Shrooms (Oh My!) The first location of the new year that I got to experience my first escape room of 2019 is: I actually found this location on accident during a much-needed trip to Morro Bay and Solvang Ca. We entered the Solvang location and thought about doing one of there rooms while in Solvang. However, once we saw that they had another location closer to Los Angeles, we decided to try that one instead. The Ultimate Escape Rooms at Ventura, Ca has four rooms that are options to choose. The group that I was with (Bryan and Roxana) decided on a room together. We read each of the descriptions and decided to try our luck in their We are all mad here room. We are all mad here This escape room is their second hardest room, according to their scoreboard at the location. It has about a 35% escape rate (at the time that we went). Which basically means about 3.5 times out of 10, the room is successfully completed and or esca...

Introduction to Escape Rooms

Escape Room 101   In the last two years, I have been an active member of the escape room community. I am known as an escape room enthusiast! For those of you that do not know what escape rooms are or perhaps have never heard of them, this post is especially for you!   1.) What is an escape room? An escape room is a physical adventure game in which people are locked (by their own will) in a room with other participants, where they must solve a series of puzzles and riddles using clues, hints, and strategy to complete the objective at hand (Google & Wikipedia).   This is a pretty accurate representation of what the idea of an escape room is but there is so much more to learn about them.   My own take on it is this: It is a themed room, filled with puzzles, locks, clues and other devices designed to be solved and cracked. Your objective is to find your way out of the room successfully within the allotted time of 60 minutes (typically). In addit...
