101 Escape Rooms at The Oaks — Local services in Thousand Oaks

We did Darkade and Purgatory. Of the 2 locations we have done 2 each. Crematorium and corkscrewed at the other location. This location offers the much more interesting rooms comparatively.

Darkade is perfectly themed and the clues and solutions are all on point with said theme. Love the design of the room and the transition. 10/10 for their "easier" room

To be fair we have not done the other rooms. But sold to us as their most popular most challenging room I cringe at the idea of doing the...

He gave us some fun feedback about how we did compared to other groups (we didn't mind the flattery!) and asked about how we felt about some of the puzzle mechanics and what may have made them too confusing. We felt that the owner cared so much about his craft, and that he always wanted to improve and it made us feel valued as customers as well. We have been going for a while and will keep coming back until we run out of...
