Kirsten is the best game master and absolutely crushed the intro into the Arcade room! Very warm…read moreand welcoming, love the passion. The arcade room was very fun and challenging, the Pac-Man room was a nice surprise, we enjoyed the mini games very much. Will be back for the other 5 rooms. Thanks again for the good time :)

I'll start off by saying that yes we did enjoy the room we did overall. There were some…read morequestionable issues we had with the room though. I won't spoil anything but just for example, something in one of our rooms required a tad bit more force than usual for an escape room. We got to a point where we were completely stuck. Something that we had checked seemed as if it was tougher to open than the typical escape room strength needed to open something. So we assumed it wasn't meant to be touched. Well the game master gave the clue that the thing we looked at early on was actually usable. Typical escape rooms make it very easy to tell if something is meant to be used or not. If it's easy to move or open then it's fair game. If it does take some force then generally not something meant to be used. Anyways yes we did escape. Even if we thought some of the puzzles were a bit of a reach, I could see how they go there with their line of thinking. Maybe it's just that game we did. Not sure if they are all like this.

We had a great time. 20% of that was because the game is fun, well thought out and the facilities…read moreare clean, and then 80% of it was because your employee Marny is amazing and did everything she possibly could to make it a fun time. Anytime my ADHD started to kick in and i started to feel bored or frustrated she magically knew it was time to check in and ask if we wanted a hint. I own my own business and i wish i could find and hire 50 Marnys. You would think she owns the place and her livlihood depends on its success with how engaged she was. She even took the time to walk us through the clues we didnt get to, and she seemed genuinely excited and happy that we were having a good fun. Overall 10/10​

An absolute must for Halloween season, especially with live actors!…read more We did the Georgie (Pennywise-themed) escape room at Legacy Escape Rooms this month, and it was such a fun, genuinely scary, and immersive experience! If you enjoy horror and want something more intense than a typical escape room, I HIGHLY recommend booking this one when they offer the live actor experience. The live actors are only available on select days in October for the Halloween season, and they really take the experience to another level. HUGE shout-out to Marnie and Darah for their incredible performances as Georgie and Pennywise. They made the experience feel authentic, suspenseful, and legitimately terrifying! You could tell they put a lot into making the room feel immersive rather than just having you solve puzzles. If you're a horror fan, this is absolutely worth experiencing. A couple of tips before you go: - Arrive at least 15 minutes early. Legacy occupies a couple of suites upstairs in the strip mall, so finding the correct suite can take a few minutes. You'll also want time to use the restroom and sign the waiver before your game. - Go with a group of 5 or more if possible. We went with 4, which was doable, but depending on how the game unfolds, you may have the opportunity to get separated and work together to reunite. Having a larger group can also help you experience the different subrooms. Overall, this was one of those experiences where the actors made a huge difference. The combination of the Pennywise theme, live performances, suspense, and interactive elements made it so much more memorable than a standard escape room. Five stars for the creativity and immersive experience, and especially for Marnie and Darah's performances! If you're looking for a spooky Halloween activity in Costa Mesa, put this on your list. Just be sure to check which October dates include live actors, since they aren't offered every day!

Our Game Master was Ayanna! She was great, took the time to give us the rundown of the rules and…read moremade sure to ask if we wanted hints and how best to receive them Our game was a bit tricky but we were able to make it through, and Ayanna was always right there when we were waving our hands up clueless, so shout out to her! A few of the puzzles were like "how would anyone have guessed this without help" but that made it a more fun challenge for us to try and figure it out. Lots of things to do in this room, you'll definitely get your money's worth with tasks and puzzles. I'd be very much interested in coming back and trying the other rooms at this location.

Came to this escape room to celebrate a friends birthday. It's located in a small corner plaza…read moreacross from Bella Terra. Upon arrival, they show a video of how the rooms work. Phones aren't allowed in the rooms and they provided lockers to leave personal belongings. There were 5 different rooms to choose from. We chose to do the Zombie Apocalypse. They have two rooms that are supposed to be scarier and two that are not scary at all. The zombie was in between. We had one hour to complete the room. The room had a bunch of clues. Some were easier than others. We actually bypassed 3 of the locks because we accidentally got the factory reset. That took a little bit out of the fun for us since we didn't need to find the codes for those locks. We end up finishing with 26 minutes left on the clock. Our game master helped out with clues when we needed it and got stubborn and stuck on a single clue. There was 6 of us and total came out to $42/person. This room was fun, but for this price, I was expecting a more intricate escape room with more rooms or interactions. I'd be fun to come back to try the other rooms they have, but I might prefer to go to a different escape room instead.

An all in one adventure with 2 escape rooms, 1 axe throwing, and a rage room…read more The escape rooms can be a minimum of 2 or maximum of 8 players depending on the room for 60 minutes. The axe throwing room is a private room with two lanes for 60 minutes. The rage room is a 30 minute session. They provide you with protective gear like mechanical overalls that go over your clothes, heavy duty gloves, and helmet. A bonus that they provide a head scarf liner that goes under the helmet to be clean and safe. In addition to the price of the room, you must purchase the items you want to break at 10 items for $20. You may also bring in your own items to break at no charge. Some of the items for purchase could be tiles, cups, plates or even furniture. Children as young as 5 years old have gone in smashing. There's a phone holder on wall to film yourself. Definitely check out the prices on the website. Follow the set of rules on what not to wear. You can rsvp on the site. Great team building event for work, friends and family gathering, and divorce parties in the smash room!

The staff was so friendly and extremely helpful with hints which made us come back again and try again at the lost point lodge with our mom. We did it!! It was challenging and very fun!!

Beware Bigfoot!!

First time leaving this kind of review publicly. However, because of the negative experience, I…read morewant to share so others can avoid what happened to my friend and me. I initially purchased the rage room through Groupon. However, Groupon had the wrong instructions, which unfortunately backfired on us financially. There was no redemption code and as an honest mistake, purchased the rage room (again) when I already had the Groupon voucher. I explained my situation to Brainy Actz and was told by the employee there is a no refund policy. Furthermore, she stated that the policy is stated on the booking page. However, there is no refund policy stated on the booking page throughout the process. I recorded and took screenshots of this, and emailed it to Brainy Actz. It has been over a week and I have received no response. Additionally, I reached out via IG, LinkedIn, and Facebook.... still no response regarding my issue. Therefore, I have been resorted to leaving this public review. P.S. This is not my first time using Groupon. I have used it many times for over a decade. Groupon basically said it was not their problem and that I need to ask for a refund from Brainy Actz. Hence my problem here. I had to fight for a refund with Groupon, which I received a partial one through GrouponBucks. My friend and I are still at a negative deficit, and Brainy Actz has not responded to my complaints, especially regarding their "blanket refund policy."

Funny enough, it felt similar to classic video game puzzles, like ones you'd find in Legend of Zelda. Even though it was my first experience, that familiarity totally sucked me in and I was hooked. I also want to appreciate room set up, build, sound, music, and over all design. The quality of the room was phenomenal, and there were moments I stopped to appreciate how it all came together. Great job EscapeX, we hope to be back soon!

It's been years since I last did an escape room, but this one reminded me why they're so fun! Curse…read moreof the Black Knight wasn't my first escape room, but I was with a newbie who had never done a single escape room before, so I wanted to make sure their first experience was a great one. I did my homework, downloaded the Morty app, combed through reviews there and here on Yelp, and this one stood out as the best option for just two people. I didn't want to risk a "meh" room or get paired up with random strangers. Without giving anything away: - Wear comfy clothes you don't mind crawling around in - If you need reading glasses, definitely bring them, it can be a little dim in places - I don't think I'd do this room with more than 3 people, I feel like 2 is perfect We barely made it out... with 10 seconds to spare! The adrenaline rush at the end was amazing, and it completely hooked us. Now we're already talking about which escape room to tackle next. If you're looking for a solid two-player room, this one hits the mark.

We have done a lot of escape rooms but few in LA. We were going to be in the area so we thought we…read morewould leave early and try one of the rooms here at Escape Long Beach. There are two parking spots right in front of the location and both were available when we arrived. There is also plenty of parking on the street very close. When you arrive, you wait outside because the main lobby is actually part of one of the rooms. There is some outdoor furniture and a bench to sit on out front. They monitor the outdoor cameras and will come out and greet you when it is time for your experience. We did "The Queen" room which has a theme of saving lost souls aboard the Queen Mary ship. It is not a scary room at all, it is just dimly lit. It has a split start with one person in the room and one outside which is always an interesting way to begin. The décor is great and after having done 30+ rooms, it is always nice when a place has puzzle types that you have never encountered before which was the case here. The room is mostly non-linear and hints are given via walkie talkie. Our game master Christina was great before, during, and after our experience. She gave us a nudge several times when we asked for help and we were able to escape with five minutes left. I commented on the booking that it was our anniversary and she even gave us a choice of a few gifts afterwards, which was very kind and thoughtful. For only two people, their rooms are on the expensive side at $59 per person. It drops to $38.50 per person with three, and $35 per person with four. We had a good time and will grab a few friends and try "The Lab" room in the future.
