Greeted warmly by Kai. It's a blink and you would miss it spot downtown Los Angeles... It's a lot bigger than it looks like and it's kind of cool. There's like a comic book store element to it as well as an escape room... I don't know why but their bathroom wasn't working so they did mention to please make sure that you have used the bathroom because there is no bathroom. I've never done an escape room so this is my first time and we picked the doctor like the mad scientist Doctor Who like created this subhuman people and we had to find like a virus to save the world and it was a lot of fun. It was challenging so you have to work together to get the clues right so it's a really good teambuilding exercise They asked if we wanted live actors we said yes so there is an element of interaction with another person which was really good. That was Bindi. Bindi played a very good scary, demented doctor patient or whatever I was really surprised at all of the different rooms that you go through and how the story kind of really makes sense and leads you to the escape it was fun. It was a challenge. I liked it. Legit scary. I would definitely do it again. Parking is dicey I would not try to park downtown LA. Not worth it. Uber there. Can't take pics inside the rooms. (Understandable), our black light didn't work. One flashlight died. That was okay. We got it fixed. If you follow the clues correctly, you will get out and be lead to another room. Then another until you get out. If you need help, then will gave you hints. (Don't be afraid to take the help)...we needed help! A few suggestions: 1) Get a locker for people to put their stuff in. 2) Make sure batteries are fresh. 3) Scary music and ranting in rooms on speaker; make lights flicker. We went to bossa nova the little Brazilian restaurant down the way and had a drink and some dinner after!

waiting area where they sell comics

This was a great experience for my first escape room! I definitely realized I would never be able to actually survive if there was a mystery because we would not have made it without those hints. The service was amazing. We set up an appointment online and there were late policies but we came in a little late and had to wait for other but they were very understanding. There is a 15 min grace period after we came in and after that we could start without our group or wait and get some time off. We were able to start and there was more then enough time for us to solve the mystery. There was a little seating/waiting area where they also sold comic books and they had street parking. We did the zombie one and Kai was an amazing host and then suddenly also the zombie . The hints were a life saver and honestly scary because they would knock so loud but I definitely would recommend.

We escaped!

See all

Ask the Community - Horror Escapes LA

Do you need an id in order to prove you are 18? If so, What are my options if I don't have one?

The person using a credit card has to show a valid ID. There are no other options.

Do they change the escape rooms after a while or is it exactly the same?

We are opening a new room in 2 weeks!

Do they sell alcohol?

No they do not. Also, they do not allow alcohol and if you show up with any signs of intoxication, they will ask you to leave.

Is this experience good for a date night? Or better for a group of people?

If you want a challenge then you can do a date night but I find it's good to double date or just have a small group of 4-6 people because every extra voice/idea can throw you off when trying to escape. Hope this helps!

Is it a private game or are you grouped with random people? And is there free parking?

You have the option - through the website you can select individual tickets to be groupies with other players, or you can choose to select a Private Room at a discounted rate

Whty the promote code can't put in?

Please email our booking office to assist with booking if you are having any trouble: info@horrorescapesla.com

Where would parking be located at this place?

Parking is located behind the storefront in the back alley

If we wanted to apply the discount could we still do it even after we purchased the tickets?

We ask for 72 hours notice for any reschedules or refunds.

Do people do two or 3 rooms in one day? It is our first time at an escape room ever and I was thinking of doing the Captive then the Zombie like 6:20 and 7:40, is that possible? Do people do that?

I'm sure you can but you might be mentally exhausted! I've done chapter 1 and 2 on separate days and it was so fun!!!! Would highly recommend chapter 2

4.5/5 stars! A very unique escape room experience!…read more A group of 6 of us took on the room The Lab Rat. The theming is really great fun! Super unique and some of the special effects are fantastic! I've done a handful of escape rooms across LA and Orange County and this is definitely a memorable one. It is a wee bit pricey and I would say there are a few things that I think could be improved in my personal opinion! In general, I thought a few of the puzzles were not the most intuitive/logical. This room is definitely made for you to escape so you can get the full experience, so the game masters definitely assist when you get stuck. It feels like some of the puzzles were made for the players to get assistance rather than solve on their own. The priority is definitely to get you to end! Which some people may love and some may not. But to each their own! Also, the room is a bit tight (but it goes with the theme). It makes it difficult to work on the same puzzles at the same time and although there are definitely things to multitask on, I feel that the room was generally a bit linear as in one puzzle tends to be in play which leads you to the next puzzle. Once most puzzles are solved, it felt like only 2-3 people were working on a puzzle while the rest of us were kinda standing around. It was also a bit hot in there so some better AC would be totally welcome. Overall, what a fun and unique room! I'd say if you get a chance to try out Lab Rat, you totally should! I'd love to come back and try The Ladder

The immersion is incredible, we truly felt like we were climbing the corporate ladder! It's very high tech and allows you to make different choices including characters, costumes, and what choices to make which affects your gameplay! The games are very fun and can be done multiple times by multiple people without feeling boring. The puzzles are pretty difficult, we want to play again and spend most of our time on those! The gamemasters and janitors are incredibly helpful and in character. Highly recommend all of the rooms including Lab Rats, The Nest, and The Ladder at Hatch Escape and can't wait to play The Ladder again.

Great escape room if you're a woman who loves losing bodily autonomy!…read more My two friends and I (all female) recently did the Magic Kingdom room at Maze Rooms LA on Vermont. Before we started, the one person working offered an option to have surprise, intermittent visits from a character named "Steve the extra-terrestrial" (AKA that same game master wearing an alien mask). This option was a sort of expansion pack on the standard room, with Steve being described in vague terms as "a helper and a hinderer" i.e. he may help you get to the next step or he may make it more difficult for you to do so. We assumed this meant adjusting certain room elements or leading us to/from specific clues, thought it sounded like a fun challenge and accepted the Steve option. We did NOT realize this meant Steve would TICKLE US. ALL OF US. MULTIPLE TIMES. It is so wildly unacceptable to be repeatedly and unwelcomely touched, especially in this context. We had to stop midway to lecture this man about consent. He rounded out the evening with some sexual comments (which it seems were encouraged by the owner to be shared with every group) that made us all wildly uncomfortable and we left feeling icky, regretful and drained. Beyond the unwanted touching, the room itself needs maintenance; a few key items were broken or malfunctioning, and they had to do a full tech reset on the room halfway through. TL;DR: Take your money elsewhere unless you love getting tickled by strangers. And if you do come here, DO NOT DO THE STEVE OPTION.

All of which were very immersion breaking and ruined the experience. Spoilers ahead for the Godzilla vs Kong escape room. There was only 1 technical problem but it made the experience harder and awkward. There's a part where you have to put your ear up to seashells (a conch specifically) on the wall and there's a sensor that detects when something (your ear/head) blocks it or is near it which triggers a sound to play. The sensors weren't good. We ended up having to use a finger to block the sensor to get the audio to play. The incorrect resetting of the room and poor game master quality may go hand in hand so will address these together. There's a volcano where you need to get 5 oblong rocks to divert the flow of lava by placing them in a series of holes in the volcano. At the start, there were 3 rocks already in the holes in the volcano, 1 rock in this metal protruding section, and the 5th rock was actually missing. There are these 3 holes in the room you're supposed to stick your head in and look up. These spaces where you stick your head in were pretty big, maybe 3-4 feet of space between the hole and the floor/ceiling/back wall. The 5th rock was on the floor inside one of the holes; which is NOT where it was supposed to be because it's dark in the hole (you get no controllable light source) and it was out of reach. We ended up having to use our phone flashlights and a metal arm grabber (trash grabber) from the first room to get the rock out of the hole. The game master (Nico) confirmed it wasn't supposed to be in there because he blamed us for putting it in there. Which is a strange accusation because 1. It's very obvious that the rocks are meant for the volcano and 2. our group of four would've known if one of us dropped the rock in that hole. We're not competitive escape artists but we've done a lot of escape rooms and this was easily the worst and most unimmersive experience I've ever had. Which is unfortunate because the theme was cool and production quality seemed like it'd be high. With just a few changes they could have something great but at the moment I can't recommend this escape room.

I have ended up making the trip from Seattle down to San Diego the last two years because I had such an amazing time! Although each adventure has been so different and specific to the person it is constructed for, they all have been amazingly fun, creative, and thoughtful. The events are flexible enough to allow for those extremely enthusiastic participants to really dive deep into the theme and story, while also providing the ability for those more "along for the ride" to thoroughly enjoy themselves and engage as they are comfortable. In my experience, everyone becomes inspired to let loose, embrace the challenges, get a little goofy, and have fun with the people around you. These adventures promote a sense of community and comradery between friends and strangers. Constructed Adventures provides shared experiences that provide a fun excuse to step a little outside your comfort zone, connect with people you've never met before, and act like a kid for a couple hours...or in the words of my eleven year old self, "duuuuuuude, so good!"

We did Cannibal's Den and the initial part of the room was pretty fun. One reason for my low rating was one of the puzzles had a wire and fan of some sort and my friend sliced his finger trying to solve this puzzle on the exposed wire and was bleeding. For the last part of the room our entire group solved the puzzle but the game master did not notice and didn't initiate one of the prompts. We couldn't figure out if we were missing the clue and wasted a ton of time. Every time we asked for a clue, it took a while for the game master to respond as I think she was trying to figure out what was going on. We had an inkling maybe she wasn't really watching our game. This caused us to run out of time and despite multiple clues, it took us holding up the lock and saying we already found the clue! It really took us out of the experience. Lastly, I phoned Quest Room the following day to share our experience and asked if we could perhaps get a discount on our next room while we were still in town since we wanted to give Quest Room another chance. The person over the phone seemed annoyed, blamed our group for being too large, and was confused as to why we would want a discount and said we can send an email. I wasn't happy with the service recovery, especially since we were willing to give this place a second try.
