Really easy to find, Google Maps took us right to the location and there is ample amount of parking too. The place was clean and they also have some fun photo props to use after. Pretty decent pricing and if you're looking for a good group activity - highly recommend it!

ROY IS AN AMAZING AND AWESOME GAME MASTER…read more Highly recommend the Curse of the Bayou but because we were aching for more, Roy let us do the other room as well right afterwards - Midnight on the Bayou. Curse of the Bayou is such a fun twist because you'll be competing with your friends to see who can get out the fastest. Clear theme and storyline as well as a few jump scares, LOVE. Midnight was also really well produced! Huge space and so much to look around. Family friendly. Feel free to check the Morty App for potential discounts.

Such a fun family activity! We had eight people, including four kids 8-10, and did the Battleship…read moreroom. Everyone had a great time. We especially loved that the easier puzzles were marked with one dot, so the kids could easily figure out which ones they could tackle themselves. We split into two teams, although afterward we realized we probably could have solved all the puzzles together and just split the cannonballs evenly for the Battleship rounds. Really fun, well thought out, and great for both kids and adults. We'd definitely recommend it!

Awesome escape room with friendly staff and fun puzzles…read more There are two suites for the escape rooms so make sure you look up which suite it's in. I've been here twice did the Jester and the fortune teller. The jester was fun! We had couple of hints but escaped. The fortune teller was difficult but was challenging. The staff here are friendly and made the process smooth. Would love to try other escape rooms our next visit!

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.

Surf City Escapes is on the second floor of the Pacific City outdoor shopping mall, right across…read morefrom the beach. The mall has a large underground parking garage. Be sure to bring your ticket and they will validate it. The lobby is small, with two padded benches and a few chairs. Note that they do not have restrooms inside. Use the public mall restrooms about one hundred feet north of their location. Waivers can be signed online ahead of time. We did their Specter Inspectors room in which you try to catch all of the ghosts in an abandoned house to escape. This room can be done with either a regular spooky feel or a more spooky option when booking (no live actor for either). We brought my girlfriends mom for her birthday, so we did the regular spooky version. The room is mostly non-linear and the décor is excellent. There are some sound and light effects and a few jump scares. There are a lot of logic puzzles, as well as mechanical puzzles, and some locks, keys, and keypads. This is their hardest room, and I would agree that is it definitely hard with a lot to do. There are a total of 13 ghosts to catch and we caught eight before our time ran out. Our game master said almost no one manages to catch all 13. Regardless of how many you catch, everybody gets to experience the grand finale which I won't give away. We had no other plans for the afternoon and they had some availability, so we also did their Surf's Up room. This is a very family friendly room in which you're grounded but your parents are gone for an hour and you're trying to find your surfboard to go catch some waves. The room is fairly linear and the décor goes very well with the theme. This room has a good mix of logic and mechanical puzzles with only a few key locks and combos. I would say this is a medium difficulty room and we escaped with a little over five minutes left. Both rooms, and I'm guessing the others too, definitely lean heavy on logic puzzles, so bring your A game. Our game masters Joseph and Delilah were so fun, and you can tell they love what they do. Their prices are very reasonable at $45 per person, except that parties of two are $60 per person on Saturday and Sunday. We received a 15% same day booking discount on our second game. They have only been open for a few months, and it is great to see a new escape room business jump out of the gate strong. They offer four rooms with various themes and difficulty levels to suit everybody. The variety of puzzles is great and the prices are very reasonable. If you love escape rooms, come try some here!

I've played a lot of escape rooms in the area before. But just when I think I've seen every escape…read moreroom theme out there, Surf City Escapes manages to surprise me. We have now played three of their four rooms (the fourth room will be coming out in June 2026) and all were fantastic experiences that had such unique themes! The puzzles were logical and satisfying, with a good balance of challenge and flow. One thing I really appreciated was how they incorporated the game master into the experience as an actual character. For me, it added an extra layer of personalization and made the rooms feel extra special! What really sets Surf City Escapes apart, though, are the themes. I've done a lot of escape rooms, and I've never seen a surf-themed room quite like Surf's Up! You can tell there are personal touches throughout the experience that reflect the owner's creativity and passio for what they do. Production value here is high and I didn't expect to leave as impressed as I was! The location might be a hit or miss depending on how you look at it. Without validation, the parking could be expensive so let the parking office know that you are here for Surf City if you are inside the complex. They have a policy that they will only validate if you spend more than $200+, so we mentioned that we did spend that amount on escape rooms and they validated us! The entire team is accommodating, friendly and welcoming. I am SO impressed that I will definitely be back when Sherlock opens up. I can't wait to come back and in such a gorgeous location as well by the beach!
