    Matt met us with kindness and a great sense of humor, and when he surprised us with a magic trick during the intro we knew we were in for a treat! We played The Inventor's Workshop: The room was so fun and had such a neat story, puzzles were unique and inventive with a wide variety of puzzle styles, and there was enough to keep all three of us busy but still communicating with each other as we searched and strategized. A great room, a fun experience, and an awesome game master - thank you, Matt!! We'll definitely be coming back next time we're in Big Bear!

    Silly friends with astounded looks after escaping.

    This was a first-time escape room for 3 of my friends and they absolutely loved it. The Alpine Lodge was a great experience with 2 rooms involved and plenty of space for even a party of 7.

    Came for my birthday! My boyfriend had reserved a spot online which was a easy process, I really wish I remembered our host name because she did such a fanatic job all I can really explain was she has very curly blonde hair! The whole experience was amazing and she made it more exciting for us!

    Super fun. Owner was our game master, used different voices when telling the story of the room and our mission. Super cool eclectic atmosphere and experience.

    We Escaped!

    Great family fun in Big Bear! Very creative escape room for our family ages 19-80. Wonderful owners who really love the adventure of escape rooms. Will definitely go back again.

    Between my own visit with friends to bringing a few youth groups to experience their first escape rooms, the Mountain Room Escape staff has been no less than wonderful to us every single time. I've worked with at least 3 different staff members and each one has made the experience enjoyable - for all ages.

    Just left the escape room and man oh man what an experience we had! This was our first time and we loved it! The staff was amazing! This is definitely something we would love to do again and would recommend to anybody just looking to have a great time! If I could I would give this place 20 stars or even more! Thank you guys for this awesome experience, we will definitely be back!!!

    Super fun mine and my bfs first escape room ever. Went up to Big Bear to celebrate his 34 birthday. Jason Vongthongkham Wanted to do something different than just eating and fishing. Would recommend. The wizard one took up some walking thru. U def need more people for that one. Cabin one was my favorite very engaging I was carrying us so hard.

    We escaped!

    See all

    At one point, my littlest wasn't feeling well and Matt asked if he'd like to sit in the "control room" and rest while he watched us play.

We received a Groupon for this, and yet even with the discounted price, we didn't really feel it was worth the cost. Had we actually paid $38 retail price for this, I would have been extremely disappointed. Their website had technical issues when trying to redeem our purchase. When we finally got through, the "app" was really just a link to an online survey site that asked you questions and you filled in the answers. It was really this low-tech website that made us feel as if it was a cheap experience. As for the questions themselves, some of them were interesting at best and some of them were very easy. This might make it nice for a family with young children, but for a group of adults, we didn't find it challenging enough. I did, however, enjoy some of the corny jokes and random facts. There was also some obvious advertising in it, which, again, made it feel like a cheap experience. Overall, I'd say if you're willing to pay the money, it makes for an interesting stroll through Big Bear. Otherwise, it's not a "must do" experience. As I mentioned before, this was not our first scavenger hunt experience, and if I were to rank all the scavenger hunts we have done, this would probably rank the lowest.

I was apprehensive to leave my kids for the first time on a away camp but the camp staff assured me my kids would have fun and boy they did... fishing, fire camps, archery, rock climbing, lake kayaking, hiking, swimming and just being around nature took my kids breath away my son literally told me "I never felt so peaceful like this week before" Definitely will be signing them up next year, thank you Sandra and all the staff for providing such a fun place for kids to be kids again, definitely a 10.

We loved the nature hike we had "Jelly" (a couple of our groups got rained out-obviously to no fault of the camp), we enjoyed archery, paint ball sling shots with "Stitch", painting wood necklaces, drama circle, and an amphitheater with breathtaking views of the the sunset. We loved our hike to the lake for canoeing. I too thought the pool was chilly but it was clean! Their swim rules seemed to be really intense to me. "No jumping off the edge of the pool" hmmm ok. In my opinion overly cautious. However, the Rock wall was a blast, equipment was in good condition. Hatchet throwing was hard, but fun. I wish the hatchets were sharp enough to grab the wood. It was rare anyone stuck one into the log rounds. Some combination of wood being too hard or axes not balanced correctly made that activity a struggle. We enjoyed trying. The team building activities were thoughtful and stretched our girls as individuals and forced team unity. Maybe my favorite part of all of camp. They lost a star for food quality and portions but the staff was always in good spirit. I also wish our group had the entire cafeteria to ourselves as we often were low on space at tables and often went outside as our designated seating was full. But the food was served on time and they got a lot of people food in timely fashion. They were organized. Our cabins were dry when it rained and i felt safe from the elements and wildlife that can live nearby. Some mattresses were thicker than others. I was comfortable enough for a week of camping. The plumbing struggled at times but not sure that was the camps fault or the 85 GIRLS who MAY have not disposed of things properly. Lol Overall I think with some retraining on camp cooking and a minor tweak here and there this would be a 5 star camp. The location was beautiful. The staff was friendly. The activities were super fun!

I'd only rate it higher if it were 24hrs so I could go at 2am but I understand that that is unreasonable on my part due to funding and student employees'schedules. POSITIVES It's close, if you live in the area, since there's no other decent gym that can compare. The attendants are friendly.. Not expensive if you're not affiliated. People are cooperative if you ask for a spot. Good place to find a workout partner if your looking for one. Great activities at reasonable prices. NEGS My only beef with the gym set up is that all the bench presses need to be pulled away from the windows bcs it's impossible to replace or remove the 45lbs plates w/o struggling. Some attendants should stay on the floor supervising in order to ensure that all weights are returned and workout stations are broken down. Sometimes there are people that have absolutely NO clue what they are doing so some should ask for some initial workout instruction assistance w/o feeling embarrassed. But really, these are minor gigs bcs I keep high standards when it comes to gym etiquete.
