Definitely a must try if you're in the Riverside/Irvine Area. This escape room is perfect for a small groups and it's packed with super cool high-tech and gaming components that really make it stand out! The story kicks off the moment you walk in, and you're instantly immersed in the game. Ivette, our game master, was truly amazing at getting us into the story right away and kept us engaged the entire time. The building is a little tricky to find, so don't hesitate to give them a call if you're having trouble, but trust me, it's soooo worth it. We absolutely LOVED this escape room and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and thrilling experience

If you need an extra pep in your step before a mental workout, parking and food are all there. Booking online was seamless for us and our group ended up doing all of their rooms here in one day. Service was top notch and we met their owner Sam, who shared with us his vision for the different rooms. Our other game masters, Patrick and AJ, were so kind and told us what they enjoyed watching from our collaboration together. That is what I love about our local escape room businesses - you can really feel the love in every design and prop! The rooms were all different and this is the order that we did them in. Enter the Jungle Enter the Dark Wizard's Pursuit Enter the Twisted Trials Enter Wonderland Enter the Dark Wizard's Pursuit ended up being my personal favorite but all of them had such unique themes and puzzles that they could be stand alone experiences and I would have had a great time. My least favorite would be Enter Wonderland just because of one specific dexterity puzzle, but I believe the game has a system where they give you enough time to "productively struggle" before they clear you to bypass this and move on to the rest of the room. They offer to take your photos inside the room and they also explain puzzles in case you were confused about certain parts. Overall, service, production value, puzzle flow, and theming definitely makes this place a must-visit all the way to Riverside in the Inland Empire.

I love the fact it was private, so only our family was involved. We didn't have to share our time there with people we didn't know so that made it even more fun! Honestly, I wasn't super thrilled to go at first and just wanted to stay home. My weekends are made for relaxing after working a 9 to 5 job through the week. But man I'm so glad I let her talk me into going! Gamemaster Patrick really brought it all together and made our visit such an enjoyable and memorable one! He kept us on our toes the entire time and was such a big help when we were stuck. He also gave us a few laughs throughout our adventure! We wouldn't have been able to figure out the puzzles and riddles without guidance from him! He is the best! He gave us the best 60 minutes of real fun and enjoyment! I was a little worried we wouldn't figure it out but together, we did and with 5:56 seconds to spare! This place sells out fast so don't wait until the last minute to buy your fun adventure! We will definitely go again! We had the best time ever! Teamwork made the dream work!

We were greeted by energetic staff who asked us which package we would take. Naturally the 24 hole golf is included and decided on the escape room option. There are two options, one alien themed and the other pirate themed. We went with the Alien 51 themed one since the pirate one was in use. After a short video we had a 10 minute time limit to solve the puzzle. It's quite straight forward but quite a thinker at times. We were able to solve it with little time to spare. Me and my friend had a great time figuring it out and will gladly return to see the other offering down the line. Onto the main course, the mini golf! The courses are laid out in a way that guides you along each hour in order. Each course has its own theme ranging from a Dia de Los Muertos themed one to one with the great wall of China serving as a ramp. It was definitely a vibe and we had a blast. Some holes scale up in difficulty while others are quite straight forward. Overall this was a great time and excellent way to spend time together with a friend.

When we first walked in, the place was completely empty and small so we felt weird sticking around. We went to some stores and came back when a few more people walked in. They have some arcade games, mini golf, and small escape rooms. We tried out an escape room and some games. The arcade games are pretty pricey to play so it was easy to blow through your reloadable card. The escape room was somewhat challenging, we were told not to be too aggressive with anything in the room but one of the items you had to be somewhat forceful with to progress so we lost - but that's okay! Overall, maybe it would be fun for younger kids or if you have more people in your group. But for us, there wasn't enough game options and it just felt pretty empty.

They were 6 teenagers, excited to play and have fun, yet they were kicked out of the game for no valid reason. The kids were simply laughing, enjoying themselves, and behaving like any normal group of teenagers, but the staff member didn't accept that they were having fun and acted rude and unfair toward them. It's unacceptable that a place that is supposed to provide fun treats young people this way--especially on such an important day like a birthday celebration. I do not recommend this place for family events or groups of teens. Very disappointing. It's also illogical and upsetting how they managed to ruin such a special day for my son and his friends over something so minor. A complete lack of professionalism and empathy.

DO NOT BOOK WITH ELVIA AND JUDY! THEY WILL RUIN YOUR DAY! THEY ARE SHADY AF!…read more First off, let me clarify that 365 events is NOT affiliated with The Life Arts Center. They operate independently and do not own the building. I was actually on a tour of Life Arts Center when Elvia approached me, claiming she could offer me a better deal. That should have been my first red flag that she was trying to poach me from someone else. I gave her a call, and we decided to visit the venue. When we arrived for the tour, Judy approached us and offered me a significantly higher price, almost $5000 more than Elvia had quoted. I informed her that this was not what I had been told. She apologized and claimed she had confused me with someone else. My fiancé and I expressed our interest in a specific date, which she confirmed was available. She promised to do everything in her power to make our dream reception come true, from setting up the venue to arranging every detail and being a coordinator. She even assured us that she would be present every minute of the day. Before booking I had made numerous phone calls and text messages to Elvia, inquiring about the availability of the same date. Every single call and text message, Elvia was able to confirm the date. The week that I had my appointment to go book my church, I talked to her every day and confirm that date we wanted was still available. The day that we had our church appointment, I had five phone conversations with Elvia . I let her know we were on the way to the church and once we were done, I would give her a call so we can go sign the contract. After I booked my church, I gave her a call and told her we were heading over to sign. The contract date was still available. When we arrive, Elvia was not there. Judy was there. My first question was if our date was still available she told me yes. I am a type A bride so I had every single question answered before we signed this contract. Headed over booked our date, sign our contract and she took our deposit. We were both an ecstatic that we had finally after a long process and touring many venues which had the date we wanted booked. We had finally found the one and had signed our contract and put our deposit down. Fast-forward to 2 1/2 weeks later, I am at work and I get a voicemail from Judy calling me by another name. I called her back to see if she meant to call me or if it was a mistake. She told me that she meant to call me. This is when it all fell apart. At this point, she proceeds to tell me that they have double booked my date for my reception. That they can go ahead and move my reception to another day?? Excuse me?? You want me to get marry at my church one day and weeks later come and tell my family and friends to come for my reception? I couldn't believe this happening! How do you double booked after almost 20 phone calls and text messages and us signing a contract. She claimed that somebody was going over the paperwork and they realized they had double booked. How do you to tell me you sign a legally binding contract without checking if the date was still available after almost 8 phone calls the same day and me telling you, I am coming over to sign the contract for that date. You mean to tell me nobody could bother to see if it was still available ? A no point in time did anybody tell me that it was booked or that anyone had inquired for that date actually I was told they had the whole month I was inquiring about empty. At this point, I was in tears at work because I cannot believe the unprofessionalism from both of them. I told them that now I have to leave work to go deal with this and I needed my deposit back. So, not only was I left with not Venue, I had to miss the whole day of work since this was around 9 am. I left work to go get my deposit back when I showed up Judy nor Elvia had the audacity to face me or my fiancé to apologize to us instead Judy sent her husband to give me back my deposit check. He was so nervous because they knew what they did was wrong and we have the right to sue them for breach of contract. He then tried to get me to still book with them at another venue and that they would give me extra items . At this point, I had no trust in them and felt scammed. I could not believe what they had done, to the most important day of my life. I left and took that check straight to the bank because I was afraid that it would bounce. I really think that they just needed my money or I they did give my day to somebody else for a higher price and then called me and told me they double booked. These people are shady.. It wasn't after this that I found out they they don't own the property which she claimed she did. And that this is not the first time they have called people and told them that they double booked their date. On top of that they have a reputation of going around and stealing customers from other people. Be warned! Don't book with ELVIA OR JUDY!
