We returned to Chronos Escape Room for our third visit, this time bringing a few friends along to try their Awakened 2.0 room. This is an amazing room and definitely in my top three out of the 50+ rooms we have done. It is a large overall space and has a total of seven different sub-rooms. It is dimly lit and you really feel like you are in an old abandoned high school. There are several jump scares, but I wouldn't say it is scary, just creepy. There is a mix of linear and non-linear puzzles, and a lot of back and forth between rooms. There is a good variety of locks, mechanical puzzles, and pattern/problem solving. There are quite a few puzzles, and the room kept all four of us very busy. There are a few spots where crawling is required, and the floor is pretty hard and not cushioned or carpeted. This room was definitely one of the hardest we have done, but it was so fun the whole time. We escaped with only one minute left. This is one of their three hardest rooms and is ranked 8/10 difficulty which I would agree with. Melissa was our game master and she was very helpful over the walkie talkie when we requested a hint. They have a total of ten different rooms now, and this was our third completed. We will definitely be back to try more. read more

There's lots of options here, but we opted for one of the non scary ones. We did the sea serpent one and it was tough! It was a lot of fun. I appreciate the staff being so friendly and helpful read more

Chronos Escape Room - Inside - Escape Games Near Me - Pomona, California

My son was in town celebrating his college graduation so we decided to do an escape room as one of our family activities and we had such a blast!! We did The Last Winter room which is an immersive Game of Thrones experience - it was challenging but very fun! And definitely a must for any GOT fans. This was my first time ever doing an escape room so I was a little nervous bc I don't do well if I have to solve complex puzzles under pressure. I really liked that their website explained the difficulty level of each themed room and the time they give you to solve them. And it was very easy to book our time slot online. The Last Winter is a moderately difficult room and I'm glad my son is an escape room pro bc I don't think I would've made it out of the first room LOL!! But we did make it out in the end with 2 minutes to spare and it was just such a fun time - I would totally love to come back and do another room! After we finished, everyone in our party got to spin their prize wheel and I won a free game!! We also won a free Polaroid so that was a really awesome memento. The staff were super friendly and helpful and are available by walkie talkie if you need help during your game. They're located in a warehouse plaza - and their facility is massive. There's plenty of parking but the surrounding area seemed really sketchy so be aware. I had a great first experience with my escape room and would love to come back and do their Jurassic Park room - it looked and sounded awesome! read more

This is my many times at Chronos but the first time at Last Winter. The second room was already giving us problem. Instructions was not clear. The writings are peeling off, lack of maintenance. The last room was the worst. Nothing worked. First puzzle already not lighting up, then the second. So we didn't know to go next one. Spent so much time there. Also the walkie talkie was not clear as always. The speaker not clear too. Didn't enjoy this at all. We of course didn't pass. Not the point. When we complained, the worker didn't say much. I hope Chronos can update these rooms because the rooms were nicely decorated. read more

Unsure what the owner is talking about here. We were asked after our game to leave a review if we wanted to spin the prize wheel. Perhaps if you win the game, you get to spin it without leaving a review. But this is not a lie, your employee absolutely asked us this. Again the dollhouse was a great idea, but cabinets were already opened that we were supposed to open, and the magnets did not work. A lot of the game master instruction was just telling us to wait longer for the magnets to actually work. I think if you were to check this place out, try one of their top rooms, and only leave a good review if you actually want to! ---- Came here to say - DO NOT TRUST THE 5 STAR REVIEWS. This place asks you to leave a 5-star review on yelp for them after the game so you can spin their wheel in the lobby. We came here for my birthday, and were super uncomfortable with this request because our experience was already subpar (we do NOT recommend the Dollhouse. Great atmosphere but really awful game design. Things were already open, there were confusing red herrings that didn't make any sense in the story, and the magnets didn't work. There was no pre-video, which is kinda a staple for escape rooms...) read more

Chronos Escape Room - Escape Games Near Me - Pomona, California

This is one of my favorite escape rooms! I've been here so many times cause they really put a lot of effort into their rooms. I've tried almost all of their rooms in the past couple of years: Awakened 2.0, Inception, Blood Thirst, Voyage of the Sea Serpent, Chronostopia, and Jurassic Island. They are super creative with their puzzles to fit the theme of each room, some are challenging, but you can get hints through the walkie-talkie. For big groups, the Awakened is a must-do! There's a couple of scares but doable even for those not fond of horror themes. For beginners, Inception was a fun one to start with. The best part about their escape rooms, is that they make it really immersive with their high-tech puzzles and not just using a bunch of padlocks to lock everything. For $35-40/per person, it's a bang for your buck, cause I've been to others that cost $50/person and the immersiveness is comparable. read more

Amazing escape room experience with a challenging experience! We did the private eye which was definitely fun and rewarding! read more

Chronos Escape Room - My Baby & Me! - Escape Games Near Me - Pomona, California

Jurassic Island? More like 'English Exam Island.' This was hands down the worst-designed escape room I have ever experienced. It's an absolute joke. The designers clearly have no clue what 'immersion' means. In a real dinosaur emergency, would you sit down to solve a crossword puzzle or do abstract math problems? It's absurd, unrealistic, and incredibly lazy. They spent money on animatronics but zero effort on actual logic. If you enjoy paying $100+ to do tedious reading comprehension and pointless arithmetic in a dark room, by all means, go. But if you are a parent looking to have fun with your kids--STAY AWAY. My 11-year-old was bored and frustrated. This isn't a game; it's a chore. Chronos should be embarrassed to call this an 'adventure.' It's a scam for anyone who expects a coherent story or realistic survival puzzles. Total waste of time and money. read more

Our game was Awakened 2.0 We have been to Chronos in the past and had a good time. I think they have new ownership because it was a different experience. The game we played was bilingual (English and Chinese) and it was very confusing seeing everything written twice - to the point they had signs that said "Chinese players only". It's their "scariest" room so imagine seeing all the spooky writing on the walls in two languages it just takes away from the ambiance. Overall, the staff was nice, but we would not recommend. read more

We escaped!! So much fun interactive and exciting! We did Awakened 2.0 and was a bit scary but soo much fun! Can't wait to come back!

I love escape we rooms from here. They are so detailed with the store and the puzzles are complex. It's worth the challenge & you get a free ticket on your birthday. How cool ! read more

Great experience, we came in a group and the kids had fun. The staff was friendly and helped the kids get set up. They are open on Sundays, which was great. A friend of ours from Irvine met us here. Parking is convenient, It's easy to find and they had a cute area to take pics. I can't remember the room we chose, but it was like a fantasy type of forest. My only critique is usually in escape rooms, there is an average of around three things you have to do unlock before you can escape to the next room but some of these rooms had up to six problems we had to solve, and I think for the little kids, it was a little out of their scope of comprehension and problem solving. We as the adults had to help them. Also, I could tell somebody just made up some of the stuff which is fun, but it's kind of confusing for people that aren't used to escape rooms. There was no pattern to follow. I would suggest letting the people know in advanced that the fantasy forest one is kind of more elaborate and advanced. I am not sure if they have different escape rooms with different levels of understanding. Perhaps they could do easier ones with only two puzzles to solve to get to the next room versus like six. Overall it was fun and we plan to go back and try a different room. Thank you read more

me and 3 friends did private eye. we got there a little late but they still gave us our whole hour. the staff was nice and helpful, as well as giving us hints as much as we needed. the room was cool and price wasn't too bad. i would come back here. the only thing i would say is that it is located in a slightly ghetto area so i wouldn't feel comfortable walking outside alone, even in daylight, but that doesn't have to do with the business itself. read more

Did the Jurassic park one and it was so much fun! It was the perfect amount of difficulty and was super creative.

Thank you for an amazing time! We loved the Private Eye game :) I love the puzzles and I like how complicated it was

Did the Dollhouse room, was very mid unfortunately. Several puzzles were not reset (several cabinet doors were just open and not locked), the Ouija board was glitched didn't work with the word, lock on one of the puzzles had the correct code but did not work (by multiple people in our party). Basically tech was glitched, room was not fully reset, caused some confusion. We still got through but had to ask for several hints where the game master just told us to do what we were already doing, we had to try it again or like force it. Was kind of treating and Mid. Hopefully other rooms are better here. I will probably try a different room maybe since all the other reviews were good, so maybe it was just that room and failure of the room set-up that messed with us. read more

Amazing experience so much fun, kids had a blast. We didn't make it out the room, but it was still fun.

Had a blast, did the jurassic Island room and it was a lot of fun. The props, puzzles, and effects were great.

We had so much fun finding the treasure and fighting pirates on the Sea Serpent. Daniel was a great game master who really did great in not giving us clues unless we asked for them. One of the puzzles was really hard but we got it eventually. Would recommend this room for all ages. read more

Booked our first escape room experience! Had an awesome time here with the staff. They were super friendly and helpful! Coming back next month. Thanks!!!! read more

The room was beautiful! But the customer service was the worst I have ever experienced from an escape room. Our game master was very dismissive and then completely crashed out and checked out. I would not recommend this escape room if your looking for a good time. read more

Came in just now for a quick room escape. Got here exactly at 8:30PM for their 8:30 Chronostopia, while completing their waivers I asked if we will still have a full hour just for the girl behind the desk to quickly interrupt the guy who was assisting us that "no it says on the website" like ok? Rude. we were essentially on time. Secondly our game master spoke very fast paced, which when speaking through the walkie-talkie the "hints" he gave us sounded like gibberish. All in all, this place's 5 star review is not an accurate representation. read more

"The Private Eye escape room was actually really cool -- we had a great time and the atmosphere was on point. The only lame part is they make you leave a review at the end to get a discount, but you have to use it right away, can't save it for later. Kinda a trap, and that's messed up because they dont tell you read more

Our third time here at Chronos - slowly working our way through the rooms. Voyage of The Sea Serpent today, and we dragged our sons with us. It was, as the others, wonderfully themed and very fun. The game masters are helpful and friendly. We will be coming back again. read more

Amazing! We almost lost but we did it :) the staff were very helpful! Amazing activity to do on a Saturday with your friends and family

Came here to do the Blood Thirst escape room! We came with a party of 7 ($35/person). There were 2 puzzles we thought were a little bit tricky (and maybe a bit faulty?), but with asking for just a few hints we were able to escape with around 20 minutes to spare! Looking forward to coming back since their prices are on the cheaper side *If you leave a Yelp or Google Review after your escape room, you have a chance to spin the wheel behind the counter and potentially win a prize (ex. $5 off your next visit, free escape room visit on a weekday, etc) read more

Very disappointing experience overall. The service was poor and the staff were rude and unprofessional. Communication was lacking and the attitude made the visit very uncomfortable. It felt like customers were not valued at all. I would not recommend this place based on my experience. read more

Super fun! I definitely got my moneys worth! The game was super fun and challenging enough!

I had so much fun. Me and my friends we came here and it was amazing. The employees were so nice especially when me asked them for hints. But i give them a 10/10. Definitely coming back. read more
