Intrepid Escape Rooms Orange County — Attraction in Tustin

We were immediately wowed with the set design when we entered the Jewel of the Sea. This was an entertaining pirate room! Since this was a brand new room, you could still smell the fresh wood. I loved everything about the production quality! Good lighting, great sound, fun props etc. It was pretty tech heavy and the puzzles blended well with the storyline. Unfortunately there was one puzzle that didn’t work properly for us and our host had to go in and fix it but wasn’t able to. This is definitely a puzzle that will get its wear and tear through time. We were still able to proceed and it didn’t ruin it for us. The hint system was quite charming!! If you’ve done Weeping Witch or Magic Cottage you’ll know! Lindsay was our host and we loved her energy from start to finish. She also surprised us in character! Great room and you shouldn’t pass this up!

Btw I did this 2 weeks later and had to bring some first timers and it was just as good and maybe even better. Everything worked perfectly. I did not experience the same issue I did the first time. Miles was my host this time and the character(s) he brought to life were a joy to experience. I noticed some minor changes with their props since the last time and I thought it was a good change. The production quality here...

This was our first time visiting Intrepid Escape, and oh my goodness. Out of the 40+ escape rooms I’ve done over the years, this immediately became by FAR the BEST experience I’ve ever had. The rooms are EXTREMELY well designed with unique and clever puzzles that you wouldn’t find anywhere else. You can tell they really put a lot of thought into the design, the engineering, and even the lore! My friend and I were absolutely blown away by the pirate room, so much so that we decided to immediately do another one, even though it was already so late and night! But it was totally worth it.

And I gotta give a HUGE shoutout to Char. She was by far the most pleasant and engaging game master I have ever encountered. Honestly, her energy and her enthusiasm and how much she gets into character made suuuuch a huge impact on how pleasant our experiences were. She even took the time to walk us through all the little details that they put into all the decor throughout the building and the background stories behind the rooms we did. It was so fascinating to hear how much work they put into every little thing!

BEST escape room experience by far. Check out ANY of the rooms, and be sure to ask for Char to be the game master. I guarantee you that no other escape room company...

GOOD: The person who introduced the game was energetic, friendly, and in costume which was fantastic and not that common anymore. Goal was easily understood. The puzzles were fun and original and it was nice not to have just a dozen locks to unlock (instead of puzzles) as many escape rooms default to that now. Decor was great Pirate vibe. Loved the talking parrot. We felt the Escape Room HOST was paying attention to our game and we could ask him a question at any time.

PARKING was very easy!

NOT AS GOOD: Small. We wished there were more rooms in the game. There is a Parrot (of course!) that gave us clues without being asked. As seasoned escape room people we like the challenge of trying to get through the room without any clues. After having said that I’m not sure we would have escaped without the few clues the parrot gave to steer us in the right direction.

BOTTOM LINE: HIGHLY RECOMMEND One of our group said it was one of the funnest rooms we’ve ever done (out...
