I've played both Escape Bus & Dead Ringer. This is one of the most innovative companies in the industry. They really think outside the box. I enjoy their unique games. It's refreshing to play escape games that are so different from the rest. *I've played over 300 escape games nationwide. read more

The Escape Bus was a huge hit at my son's 10th birthday party. The kids split up into two groups and did 40 minute games which was a great amount of time for them to be in the bus. Everyone said the game was challenging, exciting, and so much fun. Daniel, our game guide was awesome! He showed up on time and was great with the kids. Booking with Jonathan was easy. I highly recommend The Escape Bus. I'd love to see more buses added to the fleet. read more

I booked the Escape Bus for my 13-year-old son's birthday party, and everyone had a blast! My son loves escape rooms, but this one was a little different than the regular ones because it looked futuristic and the clues were quite different from what you are used to. The kids were split in two groups of 5, and then the adults got to do one run as well. They offer a few different game sets, 20 min, 40 min, or one hour, so it is very easy to plan a party even if you have a lot of kids. I already told all my friends about this, thank you Escape Bus for making my son's party so unique and fun. read more

Geat experience, highly recommend!! This past weekend we booked an Escape Bus for my daughter's 13th birthday party, and it was a great hit with her and her guests! We had considered doing an escape room at a traditional brick and mortar location, but after learning of the Escape Bus through some friends who had also hired them, the convenience of them bringing the escape room to us was appealing, saving us time, and allowing us to get more party activities done by cutting out the drive time. Daniel the driver/ escape room operator was very friendly and ensured that all the guests had a great experience. Jonathan (and Tyler), who I believe are the owners, were super kind and helpful all along the way from our first inquiry to our followup communications and scheduling, and even after the completion of our Eacape Room adventure. We had many questions and they patiently and professionally addressed all of them. For anyone looking to plan a fun party for kids or adults, I'd highly recommend The Escape Bus as a great option where they bring the party to you! Thanks to their staff!!! ... and until next time..! read more

Absolutely excellent experience!! We had an issue come up and I really thought it was going to ruin our party. I called Jonathan and he went out of his way to help us out and ensure everything was fixed. They showed up earlier than expected and were so flexible and easy to work with during the event. Danny was the one who came and he was excellent with the kids. I would like to think our kids are well behaved, but it was a birthday party with 16 ten year olds. I'm sure they were a bit nuts. He didn't seem to mind and handled everything with ease. read more

My daughter and her friends had a blast on the Escape Bus for her 10th birthday. Jonathan was easy to work with and Bryson, our game master, was on time and made the whole process smooth as breeze. Would definitely recommend to my friends and family. read more

Everything is very straightforward and communication is great. Initially, I didn't realize I booked for Easter Sunday and needed to push it out to a different date and Jonathan was able to help me reschedule very quickly. I booked two sessions back to back to accommodate for ten 10-13 year-old kids and they all enjoyed it! The bus arrived on time, parked right in front of our home, and the games lasted for about 40 minutes each. It was definitely the highlight of the party. I highly recommend The Escape Bus experience for the kids (especially teenagers) but I'm sure adults would enjoy it too. Thank you Jonathan and team for giving the kids an awesome experience to remember! read more

Amazing experience! Booking and communication before, during and after our event was quick and efficient. Te kids absolutely loved the bus. Jonathan was a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend! read more

I hired the escape bus for my sons 10th birthday party and it was a huge hit with all of the guests! From the beginning, the communication with Jonathan was great. He responded right away and answered all of my questions clearly. Booking and making payment was super easy to do. The bus arrived on time and it was clean. Our game master, Bryson was very helpful and such a nice guy. We had kids in all age ranges and a game for the adults too. Every single person loved the game and had so much fun playing. My guests couldn't stop talking about what a fun idea this was to have an escape bus at the party. I would definitely recommend them for any event! read more

This was the highlight of my son's 11th birthday party. Bus came on time. Would recommend for the convenience and fun if never done before.

Having played 104 rooms thus far (Escape Bus being said 104th room) it is becoming less frequent for a room to REALLY wow me. I've been close to playing this room in the past, but had not become a reality until Midsummer Scream 2017! I finally got my chance! I experienced their 15 minute version (compared to the normal 40 min version) and IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT. Sure, I would have loved to have played the full version, but it did not miss a beat in this condensed version. The technology, the immersion, the flow, the adventure was breathtaking. I couldn't help but pause from time to time to bask in the awe of satisfaction of the things I got to experience in this room. It fits 6 people max and I got paired with strangers (this was the case for the convention experience since they needed to get a lot of people through the bus in one day). Made some new friends, but are now hanging out locked away forever in Fletcher Penitentiary. The owners and operators are fine young gentlemen who are the masterminds behind this masterpiece. Thank you Tyler and Jonathan! I will definitely recommend this as a FANTASTIC idea to rent for any event you can think of AND they drive to you! Catch them if you can! read more

The Escape Bus - Locked away FOREVER, but had too much fun along the way! - Escape Games Near Me - Lake Forest, California

This Escape Bus was a perfect team building corporate event. We had 6 teams of 4 playing 20 minute games. We were timed so the winning team had bragging rights all day in the office. It was such a BLAST. I've personally never have done an escape room. I thought it was great and so much fun. Everyone in the office talked about it all day. There wasn't one person that didn't have a great time. Such a good team building event. Bryson was a great host. Jonathan was great to work with and answered all our questions and emails promptly. I highly recommend it to any company or even birthday party. read more

I booked The Escape Bus for my son's 13th birthday party at our home. It was an amazing and awesome adventure for the boys, they were still talking about it hours later! Tyler and Jonathan were great, and they were able to make adjustments so it worked well for the younger age group. We divided into two teams, the 1st team escaped with 30 seconds to spare and the 2nd team didn't, although they gave them a few extra seconds/minutes to allow them to escape. Also, the 1st team was able to watch the 2nd team on video which was very entertaining! The bus is actually super high tech, challenging and the music and sound effects added to the entire experience. My son has been to a couple other escape rooms in Orange County, and he rated this experience well above the others. I highly recommend this adventure, and would like to use it for a company team building event in the future. Tyler and Jonathan were super helpful, professional and so easy to work with, what a great experience for all! read more

Cool challenging puzzles and great staff. We had a lot of fun. Definitely recommend!!

My son and his friends had an amazing time on the Escape Bus for his 9th birthday! This was definitely one of the best experiences we've had! Thanks again! read more

Great experience! Great and helpful staff. A super great time. 4 of us lock in a bus heading for prison. None of us had ever done an escape room before. The pre puzzle was solved in minutes... we had it made...not. The Bus of ominous, the puzzles complex, the clues were all there, but we had to find them. As each puzzle was solved (with a little help from the great staff) it encourage us for the next one. We knew we were close as time was running out. Whew!!' read more

We booked the Escape Bus for our church retreat and to say the least it was a hit. We were able to get about 42 of our guests through in a three hour period. Everyone who got to play the game had a blast and the bonus was being able to compete for the best time. We had kids and adults playing together, it was equally as fun for everyone. I would definitely recommend The Escape Bus for any event. read more

saw this online and thought it would be a great idea for my sons birthday party. Jonathan responded quickly and was very good with working with my timeframe and dates. The bus showed up as scheduled and everyone had a really good time. We had some extra time and they were kind enough to let some of the adults have a go as well!. Lots of fun and would highly recommend it! read more

We participated in this adventure as part of our corporate strategic planning session and team building activities. What a blast! The activity was well thought out and thematic. It made you think and communicate with your team members. Tyler was very thorough in his directions and post game explanation. If you're looking for a great way to engage your team, the Escape Bus is a great option. What's more, they are mobile and will come to your location. read more

The Escape Bus made my daughter's 11th bday so easy. 8 girls split into 2 sessions had a great time escaping. Communication is easy, arrived early ready to go, easy transition between groups of girls and they both managed to escape with a few minutes to spare. Great for newbies and experienced players. Thank you, Tyler! read more

I booked the Escape Bus for a team building exercise at Culver Studios and it was a huge hit! The whole company loved it and Jonathan was very entertaining as the MC. He seemed familiar though...I may have seen his face on a calendar from somewhere. I can't recommend the Escape Bus enough. It's extremely well designed, challenging enough, and a ton of FUN! read more

I really enjoyed the experience. It's an express escape room, so the three of us only had 15 minutes to solve it. The theming was fun, though I think if there were a bit of hydraulics to make it seem like the bus was actually moving, it would be even more immersive. One thing I appreciated was having stickers on things that we weren't supposed to interact with; in other escape rooms, I'd worry I was about to break something expensive while searching for a clue. All in all it was fun and I'd do it again. read more

If you are looking for a great team building event of just looking for a great experience with a large group look no further. Tyler was fantastic and everyone had a blast. Best of all, they come to you wherever you are. read more

"It was AWESOME!" Was my kids exact words after getting off the bus. I did the experience with my three kids, and we were immersed into a world full of action, adventure & excitement as we attempted to find the clues to escape the bus. I recommend this experience for 3-4 people & teens/tweets will love it!!! My kids were talking about how much fun they had until falling asleep. If you're looking for something different & fun to do with your kids - give this a try read more

The Escape Bus came to our resent Regional Training sessions at the Hilton Garden Inn in Irvine. Our managers had a great time with Carson, Tyler and the entire Escape Bus team! At the end of our sessions we surveyed our team to get feedback about the experience and 100% of our managers said that the Escape Bus experience exceeded expectations! And as a event planner the ease of having the bus come to us made it that much easier. Outstanding value! Thanks Escape Bus Team! read more

We went to the Secrets to Suburbia escape room for my birthday and really enjoyed the room. It was more like clue than an escape room per se but it was a blast. We enjoyed the puzzles and finding out who did it. We are excited to come back and try the bus! read more

My son and I have done multiple escape rooms and this was by far the best balance of fun and challenge. We did the coffin escape which was really cool and I highly recommend it for a solo experience. Then we did the escape bus which had an awesome theme and the perfect balance of fun and challenge. It was just the two of us which made it tough. You need at least 4 people to do this one but they helped us out with clues and made it fun. Both are very unique and unlike any other escape room which was great. read more

GREAT! I will absolutely hire them again! We had a going away party for my 14 year old son. We had three groups of teens do the escape bus and 3 or 4 groups of adults that went through. We also had a gaming truck but the teen boys liked the escape bus MORE! The bus is decked out like a room - so it doesn't feel like you are in a bus. The game was very challenging and we were given hints when needed. Jonathon was really GREAT with guests of all ages as well. Everyone really had fun!! Thank you!!! read more

Shot out to tyler for helping me and my team out didn't escape but it was so much fun!!

We rented The Escape Bus for my son's 11th birthday party. Booking was super easy with quick response and online payment of the deposit. They are really clear with their requirements which made it easy for me to make the arrangements with our venue. On party day, Walter was our game master (and bus driver) and he was WONDERFUL (thank you Walter!). He was there set up and ready ahead of schedule. We had three groups play the game (40 minutes per game). Walter's patience and quick thinking with the one group that was entirely made up of 10 and 11 year-olds (who were energetic and talkative) was so reassuring. He was so great with the kids. Highly recommend, thanks Escape Bus team! read more

Super fun! we've done quite a few escape rooms. this room was unique in every way. the staff was courteous and friendly. they were helpful but didn't give away to many hints. we've been back to try the other rooms available and had the same fun experience. read more

I loved the room and I loved that they pulled right in front of my house. My guests enjoyed the bus so much! Jonathan was also very flexible with the time and was able to extend for another hour to get more guests through. Thank you guys so much! read more

The most unique and SUPER convinient escape room so far. It's a bus, it's mobile, they come to you! Great use of technology combined with more traditional locks and puzzles. Excellent for large groups! A 40 minute game and also a 20 minute game. Tyler was great to coordinate and explain events details and Ernest was a gracious host, he made the day. Was a new years family gathering for young (12 yrs) and old (70+). Highly recommend!!! read more

So glad they were in the area. Puzzles matched the theme, the GMs were very nice, and the entire experience was well thought out.

This was a great team building activity and I had a lot of fun on this very creative bus!!

I got to experience the Escape Bus at Midsummer Scream 2017 and it was so much fun! A clever escape game that had a fun storyline and exciting tasks/ puzzles that keep you engaged the whole game! Jonathan and Tyler were really enthusiastic and really added to the overall experience. I definitely recommend booking this escape game for parties or corporate events! Such a great idea! Great job guys! read more

Best escape room in OC! Great production, effects, technology and original story. Tyler was super friendly and if you get stuck, he'll help you out with clues. If you're in OC and into escape rooms, you gotta get on the bus! read more
