I was pretty sure I was going to hate escape rooms. I like to skip the puzzles in video games, and…read moreI hate being trapped, constant noises, or kept on a strict time limit. Kinda seemed like escape rooms would be the worst thing on the planet for me. But a friend loves the cyberpunk-esque vibes, and I was going to swallow my hatred to try my first escape room here with the Immersive Machine. I leave the experience virtually speechless. (No spoilers here, so read away!) Why it was great for two people new to escape rooms: -You can book the place solo. You don't need to be partnered with strangers who are going to speed run the place. -There is no clock anywhere. Time flies (serously, wow, it went so fast), but you aren't feeling rushed. -I was worried about it, but there aren't any "HOLYSHIT GO FAST YOU'RE GONNA DIE" vibes like some of the "escape to live" ones I've been told about. There's an alarm going off when you first get there, but it's like, a casual alarm that just reminds you that it's going off every 5 minutes or so with a light "beep". Like a friendly alarm. Nothing in here is on a time limit, constantly flashing, or constantly making noise. Nothing is designed for a panic response. This was huge for me. -The gamemaster's involvement is fluid and very immersive in the universe (but they're not in the room), so if he sees you're struggling, he steps in, in-character, to gently guide you without making you feel stupid. -Puzzles make sense, but they're also just really fun. It was a lot more of paying attention to the room's details and exploring the space than trying to solve a Rubik's cube or a slide puzzle. There were a few moments that required some actual hard, focused thought, but most of it was trying to pull together details of the space and alternative universe you're in (that are all easily available if you look around again). -There is nothing to memorize or "called back" throughout the place. You don't need to remember something that was told to you 50 minutes ago or else you can't finish it; everything you need is always easily accessible, and all the puzzles are "solve it and move on". We started by taking tons of notes on our phones just in case, and we abandoned that quickly since it wasn't necessary. -You mostly stay in the same areas, so you can put down waters or drinks and take breaks as needed. It doesn't cut you off of any of the areas, so you don't have to stress about constantly moving. -We finished it, two person, in under the average time, despite never having done an escape room in our lives. Why it was great, overall, in general: -The "alternate universe" makes it a lot more fun. At one point, you'll get to see a calendar the team made, complete with holidays and other details specific to this universe that doesn't exist in ours. It's these small touches that made me super excited (and sad I couldn't just sit and read them). -The gamemaster (Randy, I think?)'s personality was absolutely amazing. He was super friendly, and getting into his character really made it easier for us to feel okay getting into them too. -I'm not super into LARPing or playing pretend, but if you wanted to, there are free costumes and the over-the-top vibe of the gamemaster makes you feel less silly about trying it for yourself. -There's a little personified "friend" that pretty much everyone is going to fall in love with. I now think I love escape rooms, but I'm not sure any other escape room will ever compare to The Immersive Machine. There's no way for me to go but down; there's no way any other escape room will be as good as Immersive Machine was. It entirely converted me, and now I think escape rooms are the coolest thing ever. I see why it has a straight 5 stars on every review platform AND wins annual awards from the escape room social network. This is amazing.

This was such a fun escape room! When you first arrive there's a lounge room to wait in, pick out…read moresome costumes if you want, and there's a mini "warm-up" puzzle. Then, they take you into the escape room where there's some cubbies to store your personal belongings. There is only one escape room here and it's called Sal's Cybernetics and is for 2-6 people. The theme was really immersive and there were some really cool puzzles to solve! The staff increases the difficultly based on the teams progress so we got the hard version and solved everything in 42 minutes.

It's such a great bonding opportunity and allows you to have fun with whoever you bring with phones down. Parking is NO issue at all at this location. They have so many spots available given the strip outlet location it's in. I do recommend not wearing any thick or heavy clothes and bringing as little items as possible, because you will be moving A LOT and sweating will be your enemy. They have a bar and restaurant as well, but we didn't get a chance to go. Definitely will be back, and next time need to go for 4 hours! I think we did 2 hours and it didn't feel like enough time.

We went to Bam Kazam on a Saturday at around 8 PM. There were 4 of us total, 2 have been there…read morebefore, but this was my first time. The premise is similar to an escape room, but there are several themed, interactive rooms that you try to progress through. Each room has a 3 minute time limit and if you pass the first challenge, a door opens to another room. Each themed room has 3 challenges total. We all had a lot of fun working together as a team. The rooms are hard to complete (at least for us lol) and some of the rooms required more physical ability. There are employees there to help you as requested, which helps if you get stuck on what you're supposed to do. The rooms are well put together, theme-wise, which adds to the experience of the challenges. There were a lot of people there, which meant a long waiting time. I feel as though we did more waiting than we did inside the rooms. Although, it didn't help that several rooms broke or weren't functioning correctly throughout the night. There's also a bar in the back where you can grab drinks and food, if you so choose. I would recommend waiting until after the experience since you have a 2 hour time limit. Overall, Bam Kazam is a unique activity to get a group of friends or family together for a night of fun and challenges! I would definitely go back again, but perhaps on a weekday or a time that would be less busy.

I need to start this review with the preface that I've done probably close to 100 escape rooms, all…read morearound the world. The greatest escape offered two of the most immersive rooms I've ever experienced. The Isle room was incredible and featured several types of puzzles I've never experienced before. You felt like you were actually in a secluded place and at times it even felt ominous. The museum room was similar in nature, but lesser so just based on the story line. It still felt authentic and immersive. Again, several puzzles I haven't experienced before that made you think differently. Every single puzzle (not using more specific words here to protect the secrecy of the rooms) worked perfectly and we were able to navigate without any issues. Throwing us under the bus but we did use a couple hints in each room. Very minimal though! Highly recommend trying their rooms out whether you're an expert or an amateur. It's sure to be fun for all, either way!

It's the perfect activity if you prefer super active games over logic/puzzle-style rooms (though there's a bit of that too). Here's what makes it stand out compared to the similar spaces that have been popping up in the Valley: - Physicality: I'm a workout junkie, and I was *sweating* in every room we chose. There are less intense games, but we really loved running around in the Mega Grid and Grid, rapidly throwing balls in Strike, and shooting Hoops. - Tech: The responsiveness is amazing. The thermal cameras are shockingly accurate in the Laser rooms, so you really have to sneak like a spy. The Grid rooms also capture the colors you're standing on with no time delay. - Multi-game rooms: Love that you can choose between multiple game options per room (ex: Asteroid-style vs hitting the right colors in Strike), and there are both cooperative and competitive mode options. Keeps the experience fresh even if you go often! - Leveling up: Games can get INTENSE the more you go back. You can advance to higher levels, and your progress is saved from previous visits. If there's no one waiting for the room, you get the option to continue playing to the next level after you pass. - Individual scoring: The mix of cooperative and competitive games means everyone gets their own wristbands and user profiles to rack up points. You can trade points for prizes like keychains, basketballs, extra time, and even Apple watches and PlayStations over time. The only downside is this space is a bit costly compared to similar spots ($28 for only an hour). Weekends seem crowded all day since there's only 13 rooms, so the frequent rotation can add up -- we were usually spending one minute in, one minute out of rooms once it got super busy. But the level of cardio, constant fun no matter how many times you go, and responsiveness really make it worth it for special occasions or outing with friends. Really recommend this experience overall!
