Escape Room Catalina — Attraction in Avalon

This was the best escape room I've been to. If you're going to Catalina, this is a must-do. The clues are cryptic, complex and clever and the attention to detail and adherence to the pirate theme is perfect. There were plenty of tasks for a team of people to tackle simultaneously and those tasks ranged from feats of intellect and skill alike. And look, I was nowhere near the MVP of my team, but even I felt like I contributed something because every task gave even the weakest teammate a fighting chance to help out and make a small contribution to the overall effort. Whether you're smart or dumb, young or old, a leader or a follower, excited or unenthused, playing with purpose or passively participating with your group, you're sure to contribute something to your team's effort! But don't get me wrong, it's still very challenging, but win or lose, it's so fun, you'll feel like a winner no matter what and you'll definitely walk away feeling the experience was worth it!

If it's a pirate's life for you, then this is definitely the escape...

Highly recommend, and the staff was pleasant to work with. We booked a room 3-4 weeks in advance, so not sure if you waited until the last minute if you would be...

Very, very fun. We had a group of 2 adults and 8 kids age 5-12. My kids and our nieces and nephews really enjoyed this experience. It is not scary. Totally family friendly. It is a little dark and claustrophobic if you have a larger group. The puzzles and riddles are somewhat difficult. I would definitely recommend an adult or two go with the group to help them complete the challenges. I was a little stressed out. Some of the kids in our group were getting frustrated. Overall, so much fun. But... Be prepared for lots of chaos, arguing and confusion. Lol It's about an hour long and you will likely take the entire time, or close to it. Pictures and certificates of completion end the event. It is sort of a one time thing. Not bad. I'd...
