My group recently played Edeline and Cloud Escapes' newest room, Kapow Comics. We also had the opportunity to experience 49 Boxes earlier this year, a unique pop-up event that left a lasting impression. One thing Cloud Escapes does differently from many traditional escape rooms is that they let the story drive the puzzles. Their rooms tend to be very experience-focused, with each puzzle moving the narrative forward. That was especially true in Edeline, where the story felt like the heart of the room. Kapow Comics takes a slightly different approach. While it still has a strong theme, it leans more heavily into the puzzles themselves! The game starts the moment you arrive at the door. Be ready to pay attention from the very beginning. As for 49 Boxes, it's not really an escape room at all. It's a collaborative puzzle experience created by members of the magic community. There are six tables, and depending on where you're seated, you'll encounter a completely different set of mystery boxes. The tables work together to open the collective 49 boxes and ultimately solve one final reveal. It was such a clever concept, and I loved how it encouraged collaboration between complete strangers. Cloud Escapes continues to experiment with different styles of immersive puzzle experiences, and I appreciate that they're willing to take creative risks rather than sticking to the same formula. This escape room company is a must go! read more

My group of 8 successfully completed the Cold Case escape room. The puzzles were quite challenging and there was a nice balance of difficulty and spookiness. Our game master was very thorough and patient with our new members. The scares were unexpected and in good taste. The puzzle materials were of good quality and durability. Afterwards, our game master Joseph took the time to give us a run down of their remaining rooms and insight into similar rooms that we might like based off our favorite parts of the Cold Case. 5/5 would recommend. read more

I recently played Edeline and The 49 Boxes here. Edeline is a story driven escape room. This experience is heavily based in storytelling and lighter on puzzles. It's not your typical California style Escape Room. It's interesting and unique and a little bit scary. The 49 Boxes is not an escape room at all actually, it is an experience that pops up on Saturdays in the lobby of Cloud. This is created by members of the Magician community and also heavily focuses on storytelling as well as Magic and puzzles. This is a public experience where you form community while experiencing the magic of the evening. You work together to open boxes that lead to one final box that will finally be opened after all these years. It's an incredible night, but definitely not an escape room. It is not an experience where you puzzle hard and fast either it is a community building, shared experience among the guests to create memories and wonder. read more

Cloud Escape does something a bit different than other typical escape rooms, which is refreshing! Their rooms are story/experience oriented so the puzzles, along with the room elements, help tell a story as you unravel its mysteries (and twists and turns). All the staff were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic about escape rooms, and just a delight to have as GMs! Our group did the Dorm, Alone, and Edeline rooms. Each room had its own charm and the stories were interesting! We enjoyed the variety of puzzles, use of tech, and the level of detail in the room designs to immerse you in the stories. Our favorite was Edeline and while there were some thriller/scary moments, it was a very cool experience and the story was interesting. Definitely recommend playing all the rooms! read more

Room was very immersive and thrilling with jump scares that actually had four 20 year olds shaking. Unfortunately I would not recommend this place to any friends. As my group was completing a ball maze, a very easy part that was meant to connect didn't align properly, and had clearly been shaken out of place. We had to wiggle our fingers in the machine and try and shake the piece into place for 10 minutes just to continue on. For a $140 dollar experience this was very disappointing. Especially when we asked the worker about it and her only response was, "I don't know it's my first day at this location." We had just two puzzles left and ran out of time so honestly really feel cheated out of being able to finish up. Cool maze though. read more

Absolutely loved this escape room. Did the alone room and it was such an amazing story. Will definitely be coming back here! The staff was so kind! read more

Maddy was amazing ! This escape room was really good we did the Edaline one and that one was pretty scary for I don't do scary stuff like that but this one had a really nice storyline a pretty sad one too. If you like spooky dolls and that Erie feeling that'll literally have your heart beating fast this is the game for you ! But either than that it was fun I'd definitely come back but to try something less spooky lol. Thank you for a great experience and you guys really did justice on the game 10/10 I recommend read more

Great place to go if you want something different, but you can't treat this like normal escape rooms. Erin's Diary, Alone and Edeline are story based experiences with puzzles. My advice is to make sure you like the theme of the room before booking. Make sure to soak in the story, it's half of the experience. Dorm is especially unique, more of a detective role playing game with mysteries to solve. Personally I liked all of them except Edeline. Too creepy for me, but you'll enjoy it if you like a creepy doll theme. Check these rooms out but keep an open mind. read more

Came here on a whim after eating at Pho Vina with my girlfriend. The both of us are slowly getting into the escape room scene and we thought this place was definitely different! Story telling while trying to ESCAPE! We did The Red Balloon as we are still getting more comfortable with puzzle solving but we had so so much fun! And the staff was super friendly and helpful! We're definitely coming back again for the other stories! Unfortunately no photos but I'll provide some the next time we visit! (Not for the escape rooms of course lol) read more

Cloud Escape's Edeline was awesome! The games were super high-quality, and the production value really stood out--it made the whole experience so immersive. We didn't want any spoilers, and James was great at guiding us without giving anything away. He knew exactly how to keep it challenging while still keeping us on track! read more

This was our first experience with the storytelling type of escape room. We enjoyed the spookiness of the room and the mechanical puzzles which were a change from the usual rooms we've been too. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun new adventure. read more

Edeline was definitely top three escape room I've ever done and I've done a lot! I would say it's number one for the organization of the game. The storyline is great. It's very interactive. The owner is pretty awesome!! I felt like I knew him for years. We will definitely be back. read more

Well worth going! Even tho it's new, it's a storybook type and really different from other escape rooms I've been to. Enjoy it before it gets booked up! Shout to James for being an awesome game master. read more

This is my second time at this location. The first room I played was The Dorm and this time around, I was able to play Alone. Luckily for me, I was able to get James as my game host again. He was a great host that knew when to jump in and ask us when we needed help. The room has a unique game mechanic with a great story. I won't say too more other than get your thinking cap on! The room max was 6 but 4 was the ideal group size for us. Anymore would make it a little crowded. There are still 3 other rooms that I can still play. Hoping to play it in the future. read more

First time that I've come here Loved the storylines. Great escape room atmosphere, storytelling as a way of progressing is a great way of keeping us involved. In case there were some parts in the story that were unclear, when you escape they provide a summary at the end of the escape. Would come back here again! read more

Loved the vibe and atheistic of the room The story based rooms make the escape rooms feel more of a connection Both James and Kajia were amazing and helped us at all times read more

We tried the Dorm and it was amazing. It was full storytelling experience which different from how traditional escape room would be. The staff is top notch, the owner herself is very nice as well, she's willing to listen to our feedback. Great experienes read more

Amazing Escape Room Experience! Play Edeline, game was very well-designed, clever puzzles, creative themes, and an immersive atmosphere that really drew me in Really love the environment. The owner and staff are super friendly and helpful, guiding us through the experience. Definitely recommend this place if u r looking for a fun activity with friends read more

An amazing date night activity! Highly recommend the Alone room. Staff was also super nice!

One of the best escapes rooms! Great technology!! Would recommend. Also great amount of lights, sounds, etc. very verry cool

Fun story driven games that make you think outside the box in a way that's refreshing for anyone who's accustomed to the normal escape room dynamic. The staff is very friendly and the owner herself is very approachable and encourages feedback in a way that has me feeling extremely confident that this business will for sure be successful. Come and support them and I look forward to trying out the new games when they open up! read more

Edeline was a great escape room experience. How exciting. Thanks james for being a great GM and highly suggest coming here. Def coming back

Did the edeline room. It was pretty good. Not like other escape room as it's more of a story telling and not a traditional escape room. James was our GM and he was great read more

First, I will say our game master was very nice, but these rooms are a far cry from an escape room. My husband and I have done over 400 rooms and were very disappointed. There is a lot of just standing around and listening and things simply did not make sense. We booked 2 rooms and ended up just walking out of the second room. If you want an escape room, stay away from here. If you want to stand around and listen to a story then this might be for you, but certainly not a room for the typical escape room enthusiast. read more

We did the Edeline room for my birthday and it was absolutely amazing! The room had just the right amount of spooky atmosphere. The puzzles were super creative and challenging, super immersive experience. Lastly, Huge shoutout to our host James , he was fantastic! he made us feel welcome, excited, and totally in the spirit of the game!! Would come again to try a different room read more

Such a different and yet amazing experience. Loved the storyline aspect of the game. Will definitely return to try the other stories! read more

A little late review about Cloud Escape! Had an amazing time on 1/2/25. The puzzles were clever and kept us on our toes, with some really creative twists. The atmosphere was top-notch, and we felt fully immersed in the story. That said, we did run into a few hiccups with few of the items such as cabinets - they were a bit tricky to open or seemed a little jammed. However, that did not take away the fun we had. the staff was super helpful, and we managed to push through Edeline! Definitely a fun challenge, and I'd go back for more! read more

Tried their new game - Alone. Impressive storyline, cool mechanics. I think this is more than an escape room, it is such a new experience to explore. Especially if you like movie. read more

James was kind, attentive, and helpful. Maddie is also friendly and thorough. We had fun! Great for work bonding and team building.

Most unique escape room I have ever experienced! We played the Attic with a group of 3, and it was amazing. The storyline was very immersive. The escape room is unlike a traditional escape room. It is storyline based and the puzzles are solved linearly. The vibes were spooky and everyone had such an enjoyable time. :) The staff were all super friendly and passionate! I don't know how I can go back to doing other escape rooms after this. I will 100% be coming back to do every single room! read more

I had an incredible time at "The Attic" escape room! They have 5 rooms with different story line and difficulty level and the Attic is definitely very friendly for beginners like me. The storyline was gripping, and the creative clues kept us fully engaged from start to finish. The puzzles were challenging and fun, perfectly tied into the narrative, making the whole experience immersive and exciting. Also, the game master was super sweet and very supportive during the whole game. We will definitely be back to try the rest of the rooms ! read more

It was an amazing experience love the edeline story really recommend shed a tear and overall a great setup like the props

I love escape rooms I will do any and all but it's always extra special when you meet game masters who care.

Had an unbelievably fun experience with my group. The puzzles were well designed and thought provoking. The theming of the rooms is completely spot on and detailed. But most of all, the staff was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. I'm definitely going back soon. read more

Our group came on Mother's Day and we did edeline. We had an amazing experience with James as our game master. The room has a mixture between fun exciting puzzles and some jump scares. All of the puzzles are interactive which was very cool. Definitely a 10/10 for experienced escapers like us. read more

Lots to improve here. We started fairly late while we showed up on time, but the main issue was all the technical issues. -The audio in Erin's Diary was inaudible, they have knock off speakers that sounded like tincans, there was supposedly a story but I couldn't hear it -the puzzles required hyper specific placement that didn't line up. -the room supported up to 7 but there was not 7 people's worth of puzzles to occur I think the design could be an interesting idea but nothing worked well and the mechanics of the room were honestly really bad Update: you can't respond to people it seems so I'll edit my review in response to the owner 1) I don't like to just outright call people liars, but we were all present 5-15 minutes before our start time, and we all took bathroom breaks because we were sitting in the lobby for 20-30 minutes per person, waiting to start. Us starting late is not a reflection on us I'm sorry you want to spin it that way. 2) We were loud in the room while discussing the puzzles, but whenever an audio track started we forced everyone to hush up so we could hear it due to how quiet it was, and even with everyone being silent both the volume and quality of the speakers was poor. The second rooms audio that starts before going in we could barely hear with our ears pressed to the door. read more
