MagIQ Escape Room — Attraction in Los Angeles

I attended the "Pharaoh's Legacy" Escape Room on May 27th, 2018, at 2:30 pm. I highly recommend this escape room. It was our first. This escape room is very well decorated. Puzzles are logical. My group of six women ages 25-74 years old had only slight difficulty solving some of the puzzles. The puzzles are non-linear and do require you to return to previous rooms for information or to use a newly found "tool." Although rated "difficult," we found it very doable. We arrived enthusiastically dressed for out Egyptian tomb adventure in desert garb, pith helmets, scarves and light weight linens.The game master greeted us complimenting our attire. The walkie-talkie hints throughout the game were terrific. Also the gamemaster graciously let us stay an extra minute as we had tried so hard and were but one step away from escape! I don't think another group was waiting. On the downside, the mummy could use use some sprucing-up. For anyone whose claustrophobic, there is a hallway/passageway that only one person at a time can walk through. It is regular hallway width. All in all, I would return to this venue to do one of their...

Edit : after my initial comment below, the manager of the company called me, apologized deeply and gave us a fair compensation to alleviate the disappointment. The present rating reflects it.

My wife and I went today do the Mummy room. We have done around 100 escape rooms worldwide.

First, the employé didn’t introduce us the scenario of the room. When we entered the room, he didn’t launch the timer that was in the room. Then, when searching in the room, we found a paper with all the answers of the first room. In another room, we got stuck because the employee had not realized a very important element of the game was missing. He has had to enter the room three times and give us some code to allow us to progress in the game because it was technically impossible for us to find otherwise. Then the game was screwed completely.

So we asked for excuses and a compensation because the service provided was clearly not at the level expected. The only answer we got was “we don’t do that here” and he went into...

Absolutely fun blast of an experience for Families.

We did the pirate room. The set dressing was spectacular. The puzzles were engaging. Was perfect for our 2 families mixed with 10 yr olds, teens and adults. Was way better than the one insane asylum one we did in Hollywood.

Wish we could do this room again. But once you know the secrets it will be too easy to do. Cant wait to do the Pharaoh Room. A couple puzzles are a repeat of one of the rooms in Hollywood, but that didn't interfere.

I REALLY REALLY WANT TO GIVE 5 STARS. Only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is that the room was not re-set properly so 2 of the main locks were not closed so we didn't get to fully experience some Excellent puzzles before gaining access to the next phase of the room.

Still loved it though Totally Appropriate for Families.
