LOVED the Escape Game so much, we went 3 times already!! I first took both my kids to the Playground, and that was super cute (and our favorite one!). I loved the school theme and how adorable everything was-from the clues to the hidden tricks! We also did The Heist and Legend of the Yeti (which was on the more difficult side). I think our next one will be the Special Ops: Mysterious Market! Btw, every worker here is super positive and really passionate about the games-all good vibes all around! read more

The mysterious market was very fun! Very friendly staff and clean environment. The hints we asked for were not like super straightforward which is what we like! Would definitely come back again to try all the other games! read more

We did the prison break escape room, and my family loved it! This is a really high-quality escape room experience, with some unique features that make you think outside of the box! I would highly recommend: very creative, loads of cool things to look at and interact with, and a very friendly and helpful staff! Also, they were offering 20% off of your next escape room if you book after finishing - we totally took them up on that! read more

My daughters planned a great day for me for Mother's Day and The Escape Game in Irvine was part of it! We did the Depths game and we finished with 3 minutes to spare! It took some thinking on our part but with 6 great minds we were successful in escaping the Depths! We will definitely be back to try a different game since we had so much fun ! These games seem to be more suitable for adults or older teens as it would be too difficult for younger kids but it is a lot of fun !! read more

Had a blast at this escape room! We had a reservation for a group of 6 people and we signed waivers prior to check in and everything went smoothly. We played the special ops: mysterious market which had a 8/10 difficulty. It was one of the harder difficulties they have. They also have the heist which is also 8/10 difficulty and then they have prison break with the highest difficulty of 9/10. Our group will be back to try the prison break! The props and decor were top notch! Was pleasantly surprised. The walls a slightly thin, so we could hear other groups, but it wasn't too big of a deal as we were focused on our own game. We got out with a little over 4min left on the timer using 0 hints! Asan was our game master and he was great! Highly recommend asking for him! Will be back for more soon. read more

My son wanted to do an escape room for his 13th birthday, so we booked The Escape Game for his party of 8. They had a blast and escaped with 6 minutes to spare! What really impressed us was that they gave my son a goodie bag of sorts with a pin, t-shirt, Minecraft water bottle, and some other things. They even gave him a birthday card that had handwritten messages by each of the staff!! It's thoughtful gestures like these that really make an impact and won't be forgotten! Thank you, Escape Game Irvine, for making my son's 13th birthday such a special one. :) read more

We did The Heist and solved it with 4 mins to spare and lots of help with the unlimited hints. It's ~$47 per person. Depending on the game you can play with max 8 or 12 ppl. They also have different levels of difficulty. I believe The Heist is an 8/10. The rating fits. It was pretty difficult and there's no way we could've done it without the hints. Our only complaint is that it was small in there. It would be interesting to try the others and wonder if the games change regularly. read more

First, let me give a major shout out to Chelsea! Her and her service dog, Jazz were fantastic guides. I'm excited to say that my group Escaped the Playground without any official hints! We had about 6 minutes to spare, but it was a close call. This room was actually more challenging than I anticipated. My only negative is that this room is open to 12 people and if your group doesn't fill it, they'll add strangers (which happened). Our group was 5 and they were a family of 6, I believe. They thankfully were a great group, but it felt like a lot of people for two small rooms. And, the rooms weren't linear, so it got really confusing with so many different people and somewhat poor communication since there was a bit of awkwardness not knowing each other. But, at the end, it was a really fun time and we all worked together to escape! Can't wait to try more rooms soon. read more

We were trying to find something to do after Christmas Day and found this place and thought it will be fun for the whole family. We made our reservation online. They do have different themes and level of difficulty to choose from. We chose prison break bc the photos looked cool! We went to check in early and everyone in your party needs to sign a waiver before the game. Then we got led to the game room and the staff explained to us how everything worked. I don't want to spoil too much but we had a fun time for an hour trying to look for clues and solving problems as a team; everyone contributed to the game in order to go us escaped! read more

Third time doing an escape room at this location, but the first time ever that my party ever got paired with another group. Honestly, surprised how it turned out because indeed I was very on the fence of getting notified that we'd be sharing 30min before the experience. Just lucky to have been paired with a very friendly and like minded group. Escaped with 13 minutes left to spare, flying by puzzles without help from the game master. Definitely a different experience than a private one. read more

My wife and I just finished the final puzzle that The Escape Game has to offer. The experiences we've shared with both her parents and our 6 year old will be forever cherished. Our GM For today was Chelsea for both The Depths and Special Ops: Mysterious Market. Chelsea offered a few nudges to keep things on track but was very clearly in tune with how we were working through the rooms. We also had Chelsea for our first Escape Game experience which was The Playground on 8/4/25. It was an equally enjoyable experience where Chelsea was able to keep our Daughter(5 at the time) Engaged and meaningfully contributing towards the room. The staff here have consistently been super helpful, professional, and when you ask for a hint, you get a hint, not a spoiler which is super great. The only issue I ever had(which was not TEG's fault) was having Prison Break ruined by a Party of 3 who jumped in with our party of 5. The issues were all fully rectified by TEG's customer service and we cannot thank them enough. If I had to rank all of our TEG Experiences (Prison break intentionally left out) 1) Timeliner 2) Cosmic Crisis 3) Playground 4) Gold Rush(Wife and I Disagree on this one) 5) Depths 6) Special Ops 7) Heist Keep in mind we enjoyed all the games and have zero regrets, every room has its nuances. We fully intend to venture down to San Diego to do the ruins sometime in the Near future, but were happy to get our wall of fame pins and get our names on the wall! read more

If you're looking for a great group activity, this is it. The atmosphere is top-notch, mostly thanks to the enthusiastic staff who set the tone perfectly. We played with some other customers and had a seamless experience solving the puzzles together. It was fun, challenging, and a total rush. read more

We had friends visiting ( a couple and their two kids * age 7 and 10*) & we were really excited for our escape room experience! We originally booked the Playground room, but it was unavailable, so the staff offered Prison Break instead. The difficulty was 9/10, and we were split into two groups. We were worried it might be too challenging, but once we all came together, it was so much fun! Matt, our game master, was amazing! He noticed when the kids were getting frustrated and lightly guided us without giving away answers. Thank to him, we were able to escape & the kids were thrilled. Fantastic experience, great team work, and excellent customer service. We will definitely be coming back for another room. (: read more

My colleagues and I did the Heist room at The Escape Game in Irvine, and wow...this one does not play around. It was tricky, twisty, and had us second-guessing everything (we shamelessly used about eight hints, no regrets ). We pulled it off with three minutes left. The whole vibe reminded me of playing Myst back in the '90s...immersive, a little mysterious, and full of "wait... hold on... OMG I GET IT" moments. Such a fun team experience and one of the most clever escape rooms I've done. Highly recommend! ‍ read more

My friends and I came here for my birthday! We were paired with a father/daughter duo in The Heist and we had so much fun. The employee Tanner was so lighthearted and friendly. All of the employees signed a birthday card for me and gave me a crown. Truly an amazing experience and I can't wait to come here again read more

We played two rooms here, one called Playground and the other one called Prison Break. Playground is designed for up to 12 people. If you go on a weekend, the owner usually puts multiple groups together to fill the room, so you'll probably end up playing with strangers. It's a great room if you enjoy teamwork and don't mind working with people you just met. The setup is fun and fits the theme really well. It feels like being back in elementary school, with everyone tackling different subjects like classmates. The puzzles aren't super hard, but they're thoughtful and really match each school subject. The biggest challenge is communication, especially with so many people in one room. Luckily, our group was super cooperative and worked together really well. Prison Break was the second room we did, and I really loved it. The puzzles were creative and kept coming one after another. It's definitely more challenging than it looks at first, and there's a lot more to do than you might expect. TIME FLIES in that room, so it's really important to plan ahead and stay focused. Also want to give a big shoutout to EM. She was super nice and patient, especially during Prison Break when we had a million questions. Her help definitely made the experience smoother and more enjoyable. read more

We came here for a work event and had such a great time! It was the perfect mix of fun, challenge, and teamwork--honestly one of the best bonding experiences we've had outside the office. We did "The Heist" room, and it was a blast. The puzzles were clever and just the right level of difficult--not too easy, but not so hard that it got frustrating. Everyone had a chance to contribute, and it really brought out our group's collaborative side. Shoutout to M, who helped us throughout the experience. She was so kind, patient, and helpful--she gave just enough guidance to keep us on track without giving anything away. Her energy made the experience even better. Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for a fun and engaging team activity (or just want to do something different with friends). We left laughing, high-fiving, and already talking about which room we want to try next! read more

Wonderful range of room options to choose from. Each is challenging in their own way. Employees are enthusiastic and super helpful when needed. Shoutout to Dylan and Michael they totally enhanced the experience and were so kind!!! Highly recommend trying this out with a group of friends. read more

this was the first escape room i've been too and it's safe to say it was so fun, i participated in the mysterious market escape room that had a 8/10 difficulty. the room was challenging enough to make you have to stop and think things through but still manageable to figure out while having fun read more

My friends and I chose Prison Break. It was challenging and we got into the final room but ran out of time. Collin was our host and he was super helpful during the game. He offered hints when he saw us struggling. I was super impressed by the clues he offered because he was clearly following along and actually paying attention. The front desk staff were friendly and enthusiastic. I even learned about an escape room app! Thank you for a great afternoon - you guys made the experience so much fun even though we didn't escape. I will return! read more

This place is so amazing!! I've played every room at both this location and the Del Amo location and I loved every single minute. The staff is SO amazing, and I'd like to give proper shoutouts to Dylan as our game master, Bridget for answering my burning questions on the phone after the room, and a special thank you to both Elizabeth and Hamilton for fulfilling my hopes and dreams by letting me into the gamemaster's room. Thank you so much to everyone at TEG. I look forward to playing more rooms with you! (Once I can get somewhere that has a room I haven't played) read more

I went on the museum heist game during a work bonding activity. I've done a few escape rooms before. I love the immersion of this one and the tension of time. I don't want to give away too much spoilers but this is a fun one for all ages, it's not a scary one. I also liked how our escape room game moderator also pointed out some behind the scenes when we solved the case. Overall, a fun experience at the Irvine Spectrum, just be mindful of where you park and give yourself some time to walk over since it can be a maze read more

We played The Heist and managed to get out with a couple of minutes to spare. It was a fun experience with great friends. At the end, they do try to sell you another experience and that felt like a little too much selling for my taste. read more

I'm happy to update my review for The Escape Game in Irvine! This time, our experience was fantastic. Claire was a wonderful host--welcoming, attentive, and made sure we had a great time. This is what being an escape room is all about. Fun, friendly, and engaging! Thank you Claire for your enthusiasm and bright personality. We have completed all the games! And experiences like this make us want to do them over again! We will definitely redo the playground with our kids! The Depths Escape Room itself was high quality, with immersive puzzles and excellent design. CLEVER PUZZLES! All of the games were super fun. Aidan, the general manager, truly went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. The customer service was outstanding from start to finish. I appreciate the improvements and highly recommend this place for a fun and engaging escape room adventure! Thank you for the core memories - definitely challenged our relationships lol read more

TL/DR: had the best escape room experience ever because of our incredible host, Hamilton! My girlfriends and I get together for lunch and an escape room several times a year, so we've been to quite a few places. The Escape Game Irvine is one of our favorites. We've done a few rooms here and have a great time - the rooms are so detailed, the stories are clever and there is a huge variety of puzzles to work through. Our latest visit was the absolute best though because of our incredible host, Hamilton. We had a chance to talk with him about our shared love of escape rooms before we started and he was so friendly. He knew we had come straight from bottomless mimosa brunch and matched our energy, which was very fun. But after we finished the room was when he really went above and beyond. He had a few mementos for us which was really cool but the absolute best thing was an Escape Game postcard that he had the whole staff sign for us while we were in the room. It was so sweet and thoughtful, and made our group feel really special. Since I book the rooms, I was the lucky one who got keep it. I have it on my desk now to remind myself that there are awesome people out there who just make other peoples days better. So check out the Escape Game Irvine for a fun time, and as you make your way through life, be a Hamilton!! read more

Came here for my bday celebration and brought my kiddos. They went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing time! At the end, I was surprised with a hand written card and shirts. They didn't have my daughter's size so they gave her a Cosmo stuffy! Our game master, Jakey, was so sweet. We will definitely come back the next time we are in Irvine. Thank you Jakey and team for making my bday so wonderful! Staff: warm, friendly, helpful! From check-in, during, and at the end! Actual room: we did the playground. It looked so good! Puzzles: I've been to a few escape rooms. The puzzles can get repetitive where you just find a bunch of codes, keys, and keep unlocking things. This one was really interactive and had a bunch of different ways to solve/unlock things. Facilities: very clean! read more

such a well-done escape room experience. my friends and i (a group of 7) did the prison break room on saturday and we enjoyed the difficulty of being split up and the variety of puzzles. we could tell that the puzzles were created with care and that the rooms were decorated with attention to detail. we felt immersed in the space and would love to try other rooms that escape game offers! the prison break room is marked as the hardest room available. our guide alex provided hints that weren't too revealing but pointed us in the right direction, and i appreciated the vagueness of the hints and later explanations of different aspects of the rooms. thank you alex for an amazing time! i definitely recommend coming here if you and your friends love escape rooms. my only qualm was that with 7 people, some spaces could get too crowded for everyone to be in the same room. other than that, i liked that having a bigger group meant that everyone could work on something different read more

We had so much fun today at Escape Game. This was my first escape experience and never expected a group of moms at different age groups could had so much fun while our kids are at school or at work. It was so very exciting and we all loved it! Big thanks to Hamilton who greeted us with a big and warm smile and explained to us about the game! Yay!!! WE ESCAPED!!! read more

We took on The Heist escape room at Irvine Spectrum to celebrate our niece's birthday and escaped! This location offers several themed rooms to choose from, and as always, Escape Room delivers excellent production quality. No matter which city we visit, their rooms are consistently well done and enjoyable. Our group of four adults and two kids found The Heist both challenging and fun. We requested a hints along the way, which were promptly displayed on the room's screens. A great time for all ages! read more

Came here last week and did the heist game . It was pretty fun got out of there with 6 mins to spare. I had my fair shares of escape rooms and it always had been private to your party kind games. But this one was my first escape rooms where you are sharing with another party that isn't in your actually group that you paid for. I kind of wish they don't do that cause one of my parties it was their first time doing an escape room and because it was a big group they barely got a chance to do any of the puzzles or clues and was just standing there. They need to make it known before booking that you will be grouped with another team upon arrival or something like that. But besides that hiccup it was fun . I think if I were to do an escape room with this company I'm going to make sure it's for private only. read more

Fun but there were some lag with the puzzles. Really appreciate that they're open later, with 1am being the latest for some room(s). We were very glad for that because we were able to do two rooms back to back late night: the heist and playground. Fun themes, entertaining but yes some delay with the mechanics in specific puzzles. read more

Shout out to the host Sophie I believe her name was. The prison break was fun and challenging but I believe it's completely possible. I would recommend this experience if your group or you are willing to try things out! Definitely worth the time and money spent in my opinion read more

Came here last weekend with my gf. It was a fun experience, this was my first escape room attempt and we had a great time. Definitely would come back again to try to other levels. Want to give a special shoutout to Matt being a great game host during the escape attempt. read more

The games here are so fun! Gold rush is a good intro game. We also did the heist- but that one was hard. It's mentally stimulating though. I would highly recommend coming with a group of people you already know because you already have synergy going into the game. Itself easy to make an online appointment. read more

What can I say? I absolutely LOVE The Escape Game and it is one of my favorite escape game companies of all time. It is a bit on the pricey side in my honest opinion, but I truly believe that they do not compromise quality at this location and I've always had over-the-top experiences every time that I've been here. I've visited practically every room with different groups of friends and all of the puzzles are extremely unique, creative, and out-of-the box. I also think their videography skills are top-notch when it comes to watching the "introductory" videos, which help immerse you into the story and transition you into the respective first room. The staff at the front is ALWAYS so nice and I love talking to them every time I'm here! If you have a large party, I HIGHLY recommend trying "Prison Break" - that was the most memorable escape room I've done at this location! The Heist was also a fun room! read more

Honestly I've always hated escape rooms! Like despised them. I felt like they were boring... Not intuitive and just for people that had nothing else better to do. And then one day I was with a couple friends and we had to pivot our plans. They mentioned an escape room at the Irvine Spectrum. These were new friends so I felt like I should probably go with the flow. When we got there, we just had to sign a waiver and the girl at the front was so incredibly sweet and gave us all her suggestions on what rooms she liked best. We ended up playing to "To the Depths" or whatever. I'm shocked to say how much fun it was! There were so many different components to the room! More than just finding things. Usually I feel so stupid at escape rooms, but these are so intuitive and truly were thought out. I returned to play another room with my husband, son and his girlfriend... And that one was a blast too! I would recommend maybe partaking in adult beverages AFTER the experience if you hope to win . It was a great time and we're planning on going back this Friday with my husband's business partners and wives. read more
