    Red Lantern Escape Room:  We opened the crown for our last soul to save with 2 minutes left!
    Lorri D.

    My original review still stands!! Great fun!! We had done the Curse of the Bayou last time (2 teams in separate rooms competing to escape) and this time we went back and did the Midnight on the Bayou (everyone all together room) Escape Room and it was so much fun! Of course it was really challenging for the most part, especially since we aren't experts by any means and most of us have only done one room ever (and one of us had never). It is a very simple set up, not fancy, kind of looked like something you'd see in a local live theater set. Simple, but cute and did the trick for sure. Basically we had to save the souls of 5 students who didn't make it out of a fire during prom night. We had to follow through on their dreams for them. Possibly a little eerie, but not scary at all. Just a mysterious vibe. We did have to get some helpful clues a couple of times but we managed to escape and with TWO minutes to spare! Just in the nick of time!! Make sure you get there early to sign waivers and use the restroom. Parking is in an industrial complex, just look for the little red lantern. We really did have a great time in both of their experiences and continue to talk about it and spread the word about Red Lantern. Our picture was better this time too. THANK YOU!!!!

    My experience at Red Lantern Escape Room was beyond great! It was a party of 10 of us. We were split into teams of 2, 5 in each team which made it even more exciting because both teams were determined to win. It's a bit spooky but, nothing that will give you nightmares or that you can't handle. I loved the theme & overall it was such a fun experience and a great way to practice communication and team work skills. It was fun! I would love to come back and try the bigger escape room. The staff is kind, on point with the theme, & very clear on explaining how the escape rooms work. The place is also clean. Plenty of parking outside. I 100% recommend especially if your a m*rder Junkie.

    Super fun escape room. Unique puzzles with a great back story of characters and events. Roy, the host, added to the fun and was super personable. Highly recommend this memorable escape room.

    Amazing!! The rooms are super creative and detailed without being overly difficult. Both rooms had great plots and kept us on our toes the whole time. Roy was so nice and made the experience very enjoyable. The Curse was our first head-to-head experience and we LOVED the competition. Bayou was so fun, and the large room was still so detailed and immersive. Thank you for a wonderful birthday!

    Ask the Community - Red Lantern Escape Rooms

    Does this place really not do private rooms unless I book for 12? All the other rooms we've done (15+) have been private.

    All of our rooms are now private!

    Um I'm easily scared is this a scary game because I don't think I can handle that ahehe 😅?

    Midnight on the Bayou is appropriate for ages 13 and up. While it is dimly lit and slightly spooky, there are no 'jump scares' and it is not intended to be a horror escape experience. Also, there are supernatural aspects to the game.

    My daughter is turning 12 ... she has requested doing an escape room with 7 of her friends, do you have anything for this age group?

    The age limit for Midnight on the Bayou is 13 and up. We are, however, able to make exceptions in certain situations. Please give us a call and we will do what we can to accommodate you.

    We did both escape rooms at the same day and boy it was so fun!…read more I love that the puzzles are axtually challenging and thought provoking! I'd say one of the best escape rooms wev'e done recently. Love how interactive and fun the rooms are! I thought the zombie room was really good, but the magical room was even better i'd say. I love both, and would recommend for people to do both rooms. It was all worth the fun and adventure! wish they had more rooms. Also, the game master was nice and was very accomodating. He followed us through our progress and helped when we felt stuck. Recommended 1000/10

We did the Magic Cottage which was super interactive. I've never done an escape room before but the rest of my family has. I didn't know what to expect, but the rest of my family said this one was better than others. The 3-D effects and all the cool puzzles make it so entertaining! One thing tho, when you get told "clues/directions" you have to listen good. Like, no one should be talking/whispering as it's difficult to hear otherwise. I'd definitely recommend checking out this place! There was limited street parking in front, but there was a lot across the street. I'm not sure if you have to pay or if it was free.

Toria, our host was friendly and ensured we had a great experience, going above and beyond what I typically see from most gamemasters. The new games are Vampire vs. Witch and Black Hole. I would strongly recommend Vampire vs. Witch with a smaller group and have the roles swapped out afterwards so you can best experience both puzzle tracks. I would say that, for a 15 minute game, Vampire vs. Witch was pretty cool, definitely worth the small price and would work well if you didn't have too much time or wanted a warmup for either Fatal Invitation or Black Hole. For Chinese speakers, there's also the option to switch the language in the room, but when I played the default was English. There's also an integrated hint system which allows you to communicate through a tablet, which doubles as your timer for the room. Despite having some minor technical issues on a follow-up visit with a different gamemaster, we did have a backup walkie so make sure to keep that one close by as well. Overall, I thought that these were fun rooms that, without giving away too much, challenged the norms of typical escape game style puzzles in a way that was refreshing and cleverly entertaining.

However, we came across Escape Duck, and we both happy to hear they accept walk-in! Another criteria I was looking for was a beginner friendly escape room. After chatting with the staff, we decided to do the Sherlock experience. Luckily, that room was still opened even at around 4 pm. We spent the entire hour in there and were close to finishing. Overall, we were both very engaged, but enjoyed the experience. I would come back to try the other rooms in the future. In terms of payment, keep in mind that they do not accept card payment. They do accept Venmo or Zelle.

We went in questioning like what is a horror comedy room. We did not look too much into it as we wanted to like go in kinda blind. I went in a group of three. One of us is amazing at puzzles, one it was their first time in an escape room who wanted a horror one but not an intense horror one, and me who is still new to puzzles of escape rooms but has been dragged into a few intense (in my opinion) horror rooms where I was dead weight and just hiding lol. The rooms were immersive and had us laughing and screaming. Mostly laughing at how much we were screaming and jumping. The puzzles were like the perfect amount of brain power for like beginners but still challenging enough/ fun for the puzzle people. There were lots of creative pieces in the design that I don't want to go too in detail as to not spoil it. Definitely need to work as a team though and those were the type of puzzles my group likes because it allowed us all at our different levels to participate and have fun. We were talking about this escape room all night at our dinner because of how much fun we had. We would definitely recommend it for any people who love horror films, horror escape rooms, and want to get a good laugh. As for me a scaredy cat who kinda likes horror but has been a teenie bit traumatized but the intense ones this was a perfect like middle ground of immersion and puzzle solving without being in intense fight or flight LOL. Highly recommend!!

    From high-intensity horror rooms to genuinely family-friendly experiences with zero jump scares,…read moreExit Game OC truly has it down pat--and their new cat-themed room might be my favorite yet. This room is well made, immersive, and thoughtfully designed without being overly complicated. The puzzles are approachable, the flow is intuitive, and everything feels intentionally built for all ages, not just experienced escape room players. You're not rushed into stress--you're pulled into a story. The cat theme is adorable and surprisingly immersive. You're encouraged to crawl, climb, explore, and think with curiosity, which makes it feel playful rather than overwhelming. It's rare to find an escape room that's this wholesome, yet still engaging for adults. Perfect for families, kids, first-timers, or anyone who wants a creative escape room experience that prioritizes fun, imagination, and togetherness. A refreshing change from scare-based rooms--and proof that escape rooms don't need fear to be memorable.

I almost booked online but ended up calling because I had some specific questions, and she made it easy to book and pay over the phone. On the day we booked, Chad was our host and he was super energetic and brought all the right vibes. We had 8 people in our group and we did the Vendetta 80s room. Two people in our group hadn't done an escape room before, one person had done a few and most of us had only done one prior, so a fairly diverse group. Chad was great at explaining the rules and also giving the group a few tips and pointers. He also offered free water bottles to my team. The Vendetta room was really fun. As he described it, it was a little more old school in terms of puzzles, meaning not super techy like some other rooms can be. But the challenges were really fun, and in our opinion, pretty challenging! In this room you are in an old 80s store front, fighting the villain action figures to find and save the super hero's and good guys. Each of us kind of found our strengths in puzzle solving and we finished right on the dot, finding all 15 figures. Lots of old music, action figures, baseball cards, books, toys, legos, and laser beams. The magic 8 ball was the death of me, shake it really well!! But anyway, I digress My team had a great time and got to take some fun pictures at the end with 80s props. Chad even asked us if we wanted to take a sneak peek of the Olympus room afterward. It looked super cool and was definitely different than Vendetta, a lot more tech, and we may be back for a future outing to try it out! Definitely recommend this gem for a team bonding experience, or even just a group of friends that want something new and fun to do. Chad also explained the history behind escape rooms a bit, and it was interesting to know that this was the first escape room in anaheim, and one of the first 10 in the US. It made me appreciate it even more knowing we were supporting a small business that's been around for a while. Thank you again for being a great host, Chad!

We went with a group of 7 and felt it was a good amount of people given the amount of puzzles to go through. My group really enjoyed the theme and puzzles - definitely one of the harder escape rooms we've done honestly! Puzzles aren't too linear, multiple people can work on different things at the same time which was really nice to have so everyone had something they could do. Theme was on point and all the props/environment were very nice. There were a few things that were falling apart but we ended up telling our GM about it. Our GM was great! I think her name was Katie? She helped us out when we screamed for her and having unlimited hints was a great help. We really liked that the hints were displayed on the screen with the timer rather than having to hear it via speakers. It was SUPER helpful because we could read it at our own pace and also look back at it when we're in a different room. The only downside I'd say is that there was only 1 TV screen in the entire escape room so we did have to run back and forth a few times to re-read the hint. The hint didn't really leave the screen until we were either done with the puzzle or got a new hint, so it was really nice! Overall we had a great experience and barely escaped with like ~5 minutes left! It was a pretty tough one - some puzzles were more straightforward but others were a pretty tough. I did like the concepts of some puzzles and found it unique compared to what I've encountered in other escape rooms. 10/10 recommend! Definitely coming back to try out their other rooms.
