EscapeIQ — Local services in Los Angeles

Can i just tell you ive done at least 4 different escape room and have yet to win any! I mean i swear I am not dumb nor is the group i was with- I think, jk- so this weekend we did one at Escape IQ and the IQ part had me questioning myself with all the failed attempt in the past ..butttttt- Spencer the owner and his team really hyped us up and made us felt very comfortable and excited about FINALLY winning one! We were given the medium level of hardship - ALCATRAZ- and was separated into 2 group (boys against girls) and locked in a jail cell! It was a bit daunting at first being a completely dark room but with the help of 3 tiny flash light and "communication" with the boys - we were able to figure this whole thing out with a few minutes left over!! YA TA!!

Note: make sure to bring bottle of water, its hot in the waiting room, and just always good to hydrate! note 2: ladies, its best to wear pants because this requires a bit...

Unfortunately, our experience with the Alcatraz room was not an enjoyable one :( Set design was below average compared to other escape rooms in LA. The immersion just wasn't there - and it didn't help that there was really loud dance music bumping from the floor below us. There was no sense of urgency to escape and with the limited hints given (2), we could only wait for the group in the other cell (more puzzles in that room) since there was nothing we could do in our cell. Also, caution if you have bad knees since the floor was very hard. This room is located near Urth Cafe. Parking was a bit of a challenge since we were there on a Saturday and it's...

Proceed with caution! I've been to 100+ escape rooms, so I'm a bit judgmental.

My gf and I played the Alcatrez game a few weeks ago and had a great time. It's pretty much the basic version of an escape room, but it's a great example of how the games began. I'm glad they've kept it around, although it may be horribly outdated.

We played the Vault last night. I can't think of a shittier experience in years. It genuinely felt like the people writing the puzzles for this game gave up and googled riddles. What a horrid excuse for a game. Bottom 5% easily.

Not sure if this place is into the game or if it's a cash grab. They don't dress it...
