Today our group played two rooms and there were 6 of us. Throughout the entire process our gm, Noelle, was stellar at keeping us engaged and entertained as they were quick to match our chaotic energy. We were in a slight time crunch and they also hustled to get us started while multitasking with servicing other groups too.
The lobby itself starts your interactive journey by providing a lot to look at and also games to play while waiting for things to take off!
The Pirates of Tortuga had a lot of puzzles to keep all of us working on things while others explored. The scenery is a big part for me and I felt that this room did a great job of bringing on the immersion. The Haunted Manor offered a different approach and due to our group's chaos, we got lost in what puzzle unlocked certain things. I really enjoyed that there was a lot to build the "world" of the rooms while also making it easy to differentiate what was a red herring or just decor. For the Manor I would recommend a group no more than 4 since our group of more experienced players had little difficulty making it through with lots of time to spare.

   Read moreMy coworkers and I had an absolutely amazing time at PanIQ Room Long Beach, tackling the Pirate Room! From the moment we stepped inside, we were completely immersed in the adventure. The room’s design and puzzles were so detailed and well-thought-out—it felt like we were part of a real pirate quest.
The puzzles were clever, challenging, and really pushed us to work together as a team. We ended up using 2 clues along the way, but that just added to the excitement. With only 11 minutes left on the clock, we cracked the final puzzle and ESCAPED! The rush of solving it in time was incredible and made us feel like true adventurers.
The game master was fantastic, offering just the right amount of help without taking away the fun. The entire experience was unforgettable, and we left feeling accomplished and energized.
I highly recommend PanIQ Room Long Beach to anyone looking for a fun and challenging adventure—whether it’s for team building, a fun outing with friends, or just something new and exciting to do. We’re already planning to come back and try another room. Thank you, PanIQ Room, for an...
   Read moreI had the absolute best time at PanIQ Escape Room in Downtown Long Beach! This place is a true gem, and my experience was made even better thanks to my amazing gamemaster, Lizzie. She was incredibly friendly, helpful, and professional—her energy really added to the excitement of the day and made the experience unforgettable.
I played the Haunted Manor room, which was perfect—just the right amount of spooky without being too scary. I’d recommend it for an experienced group of two or a family of 3-4 looking for some fun with a few chills along the way. The puzzles were clever and well thought out, and I can’t wait to come back and try their other rooms!
As a bonus, there’s free two-hour parking in the DTLB parking lots, making it super convenient. Don’t miss this spot if you’re...
