They (Escapade Games) deleted a review that had the visitors, claiming their visit was horrible but the past owner replied, saying the group physically harmed the actress that played Zoe, tried harming the male actor, and the group had come 30 minutes late. The actress decided to keep running the game, only for the malicious guests to make a poor review. To current owners, Why do you not reveal the shame of some of the entitled guests who come to your escape rooms? Poor taste. read more

Matt and Ross were absolutely amazing game masters! My friends and I participated in the Pinocchio escape room and had an absolute blast. I'm so excited to do Krampus and Zoe Reborn and any other escape room that they release. If you have an hour to spare with friends, I would highly recommend coming here! Thank you guys! read more

me and my friends came and played screamboat, while there were a few slight hiccups (stuff like ac which is just unfortunate, but the real problem was with the hint system, it was very hard for anyone to understand each other, but luckily our GM was able to help us regardless, and always repeated himself no matter how many times we asked LOL) we still had a great time and our game master aiden made the experience great! props to him for giving us his best, we truly appreciate it! read more

Such an awesome experience to do with your friends! Jakob, and Tommy were awesome, but really the entire staff was great. The amount of time and effort these guys put into this is incredible. Would absolutely do this again. read more

This was an absolute BLAST! My friends and I booked the 8pm slot on Halloween Day. We had an amazing time. They really outdid themselves with the scares throughout our game. The puzzles gradually went from not too bad to pretty challenging and I wouldn't have it any other way. Shout out to our host Jorin for breaking down the rules and setting up the scenario, our main actor Logan for giving us a good scare, and all the other actors involved that day. Can't wait to see what new horrors they bring as the season change. 11/10 would recommend read more

Although I've done over 500 rooms, I'm too wimpy to play Zoe... SO we played Rockband which was a lot of fun. It's easy to be playful in this room, and we all had a good time. Even my 9 year old enjoyed playing the instruments and was able to help with the puzzles. I'm very glad they added some family friendly games. Our gamemaster was Joey, and his energy was infectious! His friendliness and customer service were top notch. Joey went above and beyond to make us feel like valued customers. You can tell he really loves working here. It ALMOST makes me want to come back and play Zoe....almost :) read more

My team of 6 had an absolute blast getting scared! This is definitely a horror themed room full of surprises and chaos. All 6 of us laughed and screamed the whole way. This is a must if you like scary themed rooms. We did the "extreme" version and were SHOCKED with how real it felt. Vee and Andrew made a perfect experience for us! It's also 100 minutes and we got out with 20 minutes left. It felt like an eternity in there because you'll be on edge the whole way through- LOVED IT!!! read more

Leo was our guide for the rock band escape room. The room was amazingly customized to the theme. Leo was hilarious and a great entertainer and really knew how to get into character. If you love music or play instruments, this is a must. Will definitely be returning. read more

This escape room is a hidden gem in Orange County. I love doing escape rooms and I wanted my boyfriend to experience one for the first time and this place is a great first time experience. We did The Invention Room which was really fun. It wasn't too hard to solve the puzzles but that could also be thanks to our host, Joey, who was helping out a lot and made our experience much more fun! We will be coming back to try the other rooms they have! read more

Super fun and scary. My husband is in a wheelchair and they were very accommodating. We were celebrating our sons 21st birthday and Escapade Games made it very special. read more

Just completed their Rock Band room, and we had so much fun, laughed so much, and had a memorable time! The puzzles are great and the technology, even better. Our game master, Joey, was so fun and energetic. And Gage was so engaging and welcoming upon our entry. It's great to see people who show passion for others' experiences and love for what they do. Highly recommend Escapade Games. read more

Ross, Christina and Jacob were all so helpful! 10/10 experience, definitely scary but worth it. I was with a group of 5, definitely come in big groups! read more

I played the Zoe room Pre-COVID a few years ago and then played that same Zoe room again today. It is not nearly as great as it once was in the past. The reason was the difference in the actors. It's amazing how much the actors can make or break the game. THEN: 2 amazing actors, 1 small guy playing Zoe and 1 big guy playing Uncle. NOW: 1 average actor, nobody playing Zoe, 1 small person playing Uncle. THEN: Foyer scene had darkness followed by brief strobe light on Uncle in the distance, then darkness followed by brief strobe light on Uncle closer, then darkness followed by brief strobe light on Uncle in your face. Nice and scary! NOW: Foyer scene had darkness followed by steady dim light on Uncle slowly walking towards you, then walking away. Not scary. THEN: Room had freaky sounds coming from it before entering. NOW: Room had no freaky sounds THEN: Room slammed behind you and Zoe reaching in at you. And Zoe waiting for you if you try to leave the room. NOW: No door slam. No Zoe whatsoever. THEN: Entering pentagram area while Zoe chases you in NOW: No Zoe whatsoever. THEN: Uncle chasing you through burn area. NOW: No Uncle at this point. THEN: Scared to return to pentagram because of all the freaky stuff that happened so far. Then Zoe waiting for you in Pentagram and holding the final object that you have to take out of her hand. Nice and Scary! NOW: Not scared at all to return to pentagram because nothing scary happened yet. No Zoe waiting for you in Pentagram either. THEN: Chased out by the actors. NOW: Chased out by no one. read more

After unknowingly booking the Halloween version of the game (which was my fault!), I was super apprehensive. BUT V anwsered every question I had and made my group feel extremely comfortable enough to want to do the Halloween version! Now... the room...... By far the best escape room I have ever done. It was long, there were so many things to do, and our fantastic actor Jacob kept us on edge and frightened for the whole game. Without spoilers-- there are so many moments that I'll never forget and were so scary and creative. Also our GM V was lovely and was a helping hand in the walkee talkee but only when necessary and it didn't feel like we were straight up given anwsers. Christina, the owner, has done an incredible job with creating this room. I truly recommend it to everyone. read more

Updating my review after playing the next chapter of this escape room, ZOE: REBORN. Wow... I loved the original Zoe but this is a large expansion and an even bigger step up! If you've ever wished you could live out surviving a horror movie, this is the experience for you. I've done many haunts over the years and this easily tops them all. Terrifying and immersive. The puzzles in Zoe: Reborn are clever and well-thought out, and while they aren't insanely difficult, solving them while being terrorized by Uncle Robert is another story... Luckily there is a very generous hint system and they very much want everyone to get through the whole thing. The set design, gameplay, atmosphere, and dedication of the live actors is impeccable, and to sustain that over 100 minutes is quite the feat. Zoe has ruined horror escape rooms for me in the future because frankly they won't live up, but we're all looking forward to going back for the Krampus re-theme during the holidays! Shout out to our amaaaaaazing gamemaster Vee and to our actor Andrew - even if he did inflict unspeakable horror on us all!!! read more

Hands down one of the best escape rooms I've ever done if not the best the owners are incredibly nice we were the last group of the night and at the end of our game they showed us around the place and even sat talking about ghost stories for about 40 minutes our actor Ryan was amazing and Christina the owner played Zoe and we were scared out of our minds can't wait for the Christmas revision will definitely be back read more

Escapade Games - After finishing the experience - Escape Games Near Me - Fullerton, California

Our group of 7 did Zoe Reborn and absolutely loved it. Three of us had done the original Zoe 5 years ago and felt they really stepped it up 1000 notches. The space is epic and really makes you feel like you're in a haunted house. We opted for the extreme version with the taser. The taser was not bad like we had imagined at first. It was similar to a shock pen, according to my friends. (I didn't get tased). This is a very physical room, so be prepared to run, hide and crawl. We seek out the more intense horror rooms and felt this was in the top 3 of horror rooms we've done. Leo was the actor in our room and gave us a lot of good scares! Miles was our game master and played the role perfectly. Thank you, Leo and Miles for making the experience unforgettable! read more

Super fun and scary, Anastasia was awesome and super into her character and role which made the whole experience way cooler than other places we've been to where some people just act like 'I'm just here for a paycheck' Something went wrong with our experience but they were able to give us hints to figure out around it without breaking the fourth wall and our immersion, the actor as well was SUPER scary to the rest of our party, 11/10 experience from the creepy waiting room up to the end, HIGHLY recommended read more

Amazing! Fun! Well worth it! We came here for my wife's birthday and it was a BLAST! We did the "Zoe" experience and definitely did NOT disappoint! Intense challenging and a adrenaline rush!!! I couldn't say enough good things about this place and HIGHLY recommend it!! Mystery, confusion, challenging, scary all in the same experience! From start to finish it was AMAZING wish I could give you 10 stars!!! We had some laughs and very close scares. Tim, was EXTREMELY helpful and really made sure we had the best time/experience by far one of my favorite escape rooms. Thank you to Tim and his team for giving us the ultimate experience I would say this is a MUST do if you are a fan of escape rooms. read more

Escapade Games - We survived Zoe! - Escape Games Near Me - Fullerton, California

I had already been to the first iteration of this escape room years ago, so it was a great surprise to see just how much has evolved over the years. This new location is larger with fancier tricks up its sleeves. But even with new tech, Escapade Games knows how to harness more practical ideas to increase tension, like darkness, interactions, and even temporarily separating groups. Niko, our Uncle Robert for that night, somehow snuck into every room we were in! Anytime we felt safe, he'd lunge at us from a random corner. He was great! His Zoe counterpart (sorry! I didn't catch your name!) was just as maniacal, and her cackling made us feel so uneasy whenever we'd have to cross her. We had such a great time! Admittedly, the puzzles took a little bit of grunt work for our group, but our game master knew how to usher the storyline and the solving of the puzzles forward without taking us out of the immersiveness. It's definitely a must try for escape room and haunt enthusiasts alike! read more

Absolutely fun room doing the invention room and Logan was an absolutely amazing game master and the room was very well done. Would come back to do the other rooms for sure. read more

My family and I did the rock band escape room, and it was great. Matt, our host was very cool and helpful. Scary isn't my thing so this one was perfect for us because it is family friendly. It incorporates some great puzzles and music. Super fun! Thank you! read more

Gauge, Leo, and Jacob were with us and they were great. Just the right amount of scariness. The taser isn't painful but it's motivating in terms of progressing through the story. Took us 2 hours because we are dumb but the walkie talkie you get is super helpful. read more

This is hands down the best horror experience we've had in any escape room. So good that we did it twice. The room is a fully immersive experience with actors that are passionate. The owners Jorin and Christina did our first game and WOW! They are great people, super personable, and you can tell they care about everyone's experience. I would recommend this a million times over. Our second game was hosted by Vee and Andrew. Amazing!! Thank you for making this experience so memorable. read more

I went and played Zoe with a group of my friends (technically twice now) and both times were amazing! The staff is super friendly and very easy to chat with. They seem very vague but it's for good reason, they want you to go into it blind! It's so much more fun that way, and scarier!! On my first try of the room, I had Vee & Avi as the staff and they were so amazing. Vee answered all our questions and Avi scared us so well!! We chatted with them for a bit after and they're so kind! The second time I went I had both managers (I requested two scare actors) and they were incredible!!! They were super sweet and terrifying!!! Highly recommend this room if you're a horror fan and don't mind coming out with a few bruises! It's sooooo worth it!! read more

2 words to describe Zoe Reborn. SCARY AF. This room is not for the faint of heart. But it is the BEST escape room in all OC! I do recommend it to anyone that would love a good scare and an unforgettable experience. Just don't forget to bring a large group party with you because you'll need some cover lol. read more

Our group went this past friday and had such a great time. We did the Zoe reborn game and it was genuinely one of the most fun things I have done all year so far. It was very immersive and got our hearts pumping but also gave us the best laughs. Our scare actors were Leo, Makenzie and Adam and the guy on the walkie talkie was Joey. The whole staff was great and my mom had a good time laughing watching us through the cameras. We will definitely be back for the extreme mode and other games in the future! read more

Let me just say this -- this is the only escape room that has ever had my heart pumping so fast from the fear and thrill. I give you a standing ovation you guys. Thank you to Vivian for building up the thrill and Justin for keeping us on our toes and in constant fear. This was a great way to spend my birthday and for Halloween! Nothing like running for your life on the day you were born. read more

My boyfriend and I did Zoe: Reborn with just us two and it was FANTASTIC. Exactly what you are looking for if you love fun, scary, haunt-like extended dreams. It felt so intuitive, the scare actors were always in character and phenomenal, and it never felt frustrating. From the moment you step into that house, it's game on until the end. Only good scary fun!! Special shout out to our scare actors (we went on a Sunday and booked for 4 people, so we had three!!!), I think they were Jacob, Ross, and also a girl with a name starting with a C (sorry you were fantastic too I'm just bad with names!!). The game is FULL of interaction -- the whole THING is interactive. I promise, even if you think you are faint of heart, they will get you through it. Just don't fight against what the voices tell you to do... If you are going with only 2 people, it's perfect. More would be perfect too, but the separation aspects of the game and puzzles make it a great date for two people. They REALLY make you feel like you're in it together. The GM got us through the game with in-character delivery of hints (I'm sorry, I can't quite remember his name but he was great), had some GREAT tricks up his sleeve so we didn't get complacent or comfortable, and we did not even have to think about the time limit because the story was driving us forward. James (I may be mis remembering some of these names) was also helpful before the game in explaining the rules, expectations, and how to ask for help and tap out if needed. The story's pacing was excellent, it was so much fun, and we were still talking about it days later. Some notes : wear pants/leggings not shorts, wear shoes not flip flops. I wore a long sleeve shirt and was comfortable. Be prepared for anything, go in with an open mind and have fun with it :) The puzzles are very intuitive, so it's ok to get scared and enjoy the immersive haunt aspect of this one fully! read more

First I want to say that my friend and I had accidentally bamboozled ourselves and signed up for this thinking it was going to be an AI escape room experience, bc we mixed it up with another escape room in Fullerton lol. We had the night slot for 9:30 so when we arrived, entered the building, and saw all the creepy decorations we quickly realized we might have made a mistake. BUT we're no quitters haha, so we decided to still do the room bc we paid for it and based on the description of the room and the warnings we thought it would be fun to do the extreme version. But the reality was slightly different from our expectations so thats why I'm writing this review. They did mention the extreme mode had a little taser that would be used by the actor and it was described as being similar in feeling to those old school toy fake gums that have a little zappy vibration when you try to grab the gum. So we thought ok the taser is going to be a fun small shock which we were totally cool with bc it added to the horror experience. However, in reality the taser itself hurt a lot more than we expected based on the description. Keep in mind I had a jean jacket on and my friend had a cotton sweatshirt so the very first time my friend was zapped she let out a loud sound of pain and I got worried but we continued. The zaps were quite frequent and specifically towards the end where we made our final dash away, the actor continuously hit my back with it and by that point I was trying to escape the pain not the room which was a downside. PLUS afterwards we looked at the places we got hit and there were definitely small red welts and the area where I got hit continuously in the back hurt a lot even after we left. There was also this one particular area we had to go through that I could see they tried to make safer with mats but to be honest I think needs some changing. Bc it's a horror based escape room most ppl will rush out of this tunnel-like area in fear very quickly, like me, and bc it's a good distance from the ground when you rush out it's basically hands and face first straight to the floor. For me, in my fear to get away from the actor I rushed out of the tunnel, launched myself straight out, hit the back of my right ear on the bookshelf near the wall and all I felt was straight pain. I stayed on the floor for a few minutes bc it hurt a lot but I also wanted to finish so once it eased up I kept going. I think adrenaline also played a part in reducing the pain but if I had hit that shelf at any other angle I could have really hurt my face or head so it has a high potential for injury. Afterwards during the photo and question time the workers also mentioned that area was where most ppl got hurt and how someone even needed stitches, so my friend and I both thought that clearly it needs rethinking/remodeling if people keep getting hurt there! If I set aside the pain from the taser and when I hit the shelf, the room was very well decorated and fit the horror theme nicely. The actor was also very good at their role, oh and the puzzles throughout the room were also quite easy so if you're looking for a nice scare without having to think too much about solving the puzzles then this escape room would be a match. Maybe on normal or easy mode I could give this a higher rating but for my experiences with how I thought it extreme mode was going to play out vs what actually happened I just can't go higher than 3 stars. Thanks for reading this review and I hope this helps a few people! read more

What an amazing event! Went to experience Zoe Reborn with my daughter, her boyfriend and her bestie (we had all done Zoe together previously). Everything about the escape rooms was next level excellent, we were thoroughly and righteously reduced to whimpering puddles of scared...but never enough to "tap out". A perfect balance! Many, many kudos to the actors and staff for being "in on" and supporting the surprise marriage proposal my daughter received at the end (she said yes!). Highly recommend this escape room, but be warned - this is for folks who have a lust for life and new experiences, not so much for those not appreciating surprises and the unexpected. read more

Absolutely horrendous experience. Completely unclear about what I was walking into even when I had asked them. Told us the touching that would take place was to be escorted from room to room not do what they did. Totally unprofessional and do not recommend. (also owner lied in the reply about the rescheduling that did not happen) hence point proven. read more

Christina is amazing! Want to mess with people?! Want to be terrified? Wana give your group an unparalleled experience? This is the place to go!! Got 4 Army going into Zoe, and what a wild ride it was! It was terrifying, exciting and just an unexpected experience overall! Not to mention Christina went above and beyond in helping me scare my group! She went above and beyond to make our experience one that will not be forgotten! I've done over 50 escape rooms, and this one was just awesome! Next: The Last Experiment! read more

I have done the original Zoe escape room and didn't think that anything could top it but I was wrong! Zoe Reborn was both challenging, terrifying and fun all at the same time! I would definitely recommend this escape room and rank it as one of the best escape rooms that I have ever done! Jacob, our game master and Andrew, our actor were the very best!! read more

Wooow!!!! This was my first escape room and it totally set the bar HIGH. We did the room ZOE. We were on our toes the entire time. I love horror and spooky stuff, so I scared & entertained the entire time. Each room was creative, clues were challenging, but me and my friends were Able to get through the rooms with 5 minutes to spare. I loved this experience so much!!!! Thank you guys so much!!!! read more

Me and my sisters did Zoe-Reborn and it was a cool and fun experience for our first time ever going to an escape room. It met all our expectations and the actors were great and made it more intense. There were scary and funny moments while doing these games. I recommend everyone to go here you'll end up screaming more than you think. read more

This was one of the funnest escape rooms I've done. Me, my boyfriend and two friends did the Krampus Lair escape room and we were not disappointed. We did normal mode which meant full contact with no tasing, so they did grab us, drag us, bag us and all that fun stuff. Clover and Russ were both amazing. I would definitely recommend! read more

We did the Zoe Reborn escape room for my birthday with a group of 4. They convinced us to try the "Lights Out" version of the game to intensify our experience. We wanted the scariest version of the game, and boy did we get it. This escape room was another level of scary. I'm a huge horror movie fan and have always searched for ways to feel that thrill of inserting myself into a real life horror film and feel that adrenaline rush of being one of the characters. Zoe Reborn does just that with its incredible sets and talented actors. Our game master Nico, Matt, Sage, Jakob were beyond incredible. They almost knew how to perfectly play on all of our fears in a clever and specific way. The full contact created such a unique and once in a lifetime experience for those that are true escape room/horror fans. When they say this isn't a "normal" escape room, it is not a lie. This is nothing like I have ever done in my life. I could no recommend this experience anymore to people who are die hard horror fans! You will not regret it! read more
