We did the thing!
Zack N.

Yeti was amazing and Tyler was incredible, his nudges were spot on in terms of how much help was given and when. Finally finished our last game here in the OC area with the Escape game. Looking forward to traveling for the ruins soon.

We escaped The Legend of the Yeti!

My first time at this escape room, though I've been to several within the area. My girlfriend set it up and made reservations ahead of time for our party of 8. Unfortunately last minute on the day of, one of our friends fell sick and couldn't join and they were very understand and accommodating. It is about $47/person and depending on the rooms, can accommodate 8-12 people with different level of difficulties. Our room was The Legend of the Yeti at a level 8/10 difficulty. The level of difficulty felt appropriate and we all had so much fun. Hints are unlimited with no penalties but we try to limit asking for so many hints. Our group escaped with less than 2 minutes to spare! It was a great activity to do during a rainy Sunday afternoon and suitable for most age groups. Would def come back to try the other rooms and recommend to others.

Such a great night to hangout with friends. This was our second time at this escape room. Just like the first time, it was awesome. Matt and the check in guy were amazing!! This really test out communication and listening skills. Looking forward to coming back with my siblings and testing out our skills. 10 out of 10.

We experienced The Escape Room for our friends' birthday and it was incredibly fun! Sophia checked us in and was very accommodating for our party. We did the prison break room (rated 9/10), and it was immersive, well decorated and the puzzles were challenging, without being too difficult. Jack was our game/hunt master for our escape room. He gave great timely hints. Jack also took the time to create hand drawn personalized happy birthday cards for our friends. Talk about going above and beyond. Thank you both Sophia and a Jack for making our experience memorable and entertaining! (Yes, we escaped!)

The heist
Melissa V.

We came to The Escape Game Irvine last minute and we don't regret it. We loved it so much we played a second time, and bought gift cards for the future. We did "The heist" and "The depths" we were surrounded by a wonderful group of employees who were friendly and made the night fun. We did them both with only 2 people, and one was a 13 years old boy. The "depths" one was harder due to needing more people to help. They said we did great for two people but recommended 4 people. Which we didn't know, or I would have picked a different room. Over all great and recommend for teens.

The Escape Game in Irvine is one of the better escape rooms available in the area. Today we played the yeti game. We were joined by five other people in our team. The level of games are by number. This one is considered eight out of 10. You are given one hour to complete the mission by utilizing clues given to you. This is one of the busier locations because of the shopping so if you are coming to this location, make sure you add 20 minutes to your time of arrival.

Scheduled an appointment for my son he has been wanting to play the prison break and it's usually booked . Definitely amazing customer service by Hamilton and aida. They will make sure you walk out satisfied with your visit . Highly recommend this location great work and will be back

Finally completed the full lineup here after finishing Yeti. Across every room, the quality and consistency have been impressive. The themes are immersive, the puzzles are intuitive without feeling overly guided, the mechanics function smoothly, and everything is well maintained. The staff are welcoming and genuinely enthusiastic about the games and you can tell are escape room enthusiasts themselves. A special thanks to McKenna, our game master for Yeti, who was an absolute rockstar. May not be back here for a while until something new pops up, but will check out other locations.

Special Ops: Mysterious Market
Jae C.

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.

Legend of the Yeti
Kiannah D.

Tried out the new Legend of the Yeti for my birthday with 6 friends on 8/28! I loved the ice expedition theming, and the puzzles felt challenging enough for our group of mixed experience levels. Sophia was a fantastic game guide, super helpful and friendly!

Idania A.

Our gamemaster ELLA was incredible!!! The sweetest person ever, and she made our experience very memorable. We played The Depths and it was so much fun for our group of 3. Would definitely recommend since their rooms are very high quality and immersive.

Ask the Community - The Escape Game Irvine

What are you putting groups with strangers ? Having that messes with the flow of the games 😕

We got grouped with another 'family' and they completely took over the whole game. Very rude people. It was not my idea of fun standing around watching other people play the game while being excluded. Just posting my experience...others may have… 

Is there a place to store bags/purses while in a game?

Yes they have a spot in the room to place your items. In the first room we did it had a basket on the floor we could place our stuff.

Is it for all ages?

Yes, but 14 and younger must be accompanied by an adult. 4 and younger play free.

Upon entry we were greeted by a friendly game master, I forgot to get her name but she was really sweet and enthusiastic, you can tell this business cares about their players with the small puzzles and arcade game you can play while you wait as well as a mini fridge with some water and kool aid that was fantastic on this hot summer day. I heard both rooms were very colorful and whimsical and reviews were definitely not wrong. I think there was a great combination of difficulties for the puzzles and found some very easy to overlook if you ironically didn't get to dog-eye level hehe. We love animals so this was a really great and creative room. Thank you to Ms. Jade for helping us throughout the game and providing us with hints when we were really struggling and just so close. She was really sweet and enthusiastic too! I know she was working two games at the time we finished so we appreciated that she took the time to debrief us despite trying to juggle both games as best she could. We never felt rushed. I think we'd love to come back to play Wicked Wonderland or Prison Break! Thank you Escape Room 66!

I'm an escape room enthusiast and I loved this place!!…read more My team was only 3 and we did Sky Lounge and SASHA back to back, and escaped both!! Our gamemaster, Jerry, made the whole experience, especially when we were escaping SASHA. He really paid attention and offered hints only when we were really struggling. I do appreciate that he really abided by the level of help we requested initially. Most places will give you X number of hints which can add pressure to the experience, but Wild Goose offers unlimited hints but based on your groups preference. (Super helpful, only when needed/asked for, no help). Overall, great time! I'll be keeping an eye out for their new rooms. And thank you, Jerry! You were the best!! Couple things to keep in mind: - there's only two rooms - it's located upstairs in Diamond Jamboree (horrible parking)

I like how this theme was different. since a lot of escape rooms are like relics, zombies, etc. We made a reservation and everything was fairly quick to get us situated and started in our room. I would say this one was not as exciting compared to other rooms, and a bit small. I like how it did not rely too heavily on locks and codes. The Game Master was not too involved and honestly not very enthusiastic. I think when you do have game masters that are really fun, it really improves the game. Of all escape room places so far, this was just mid tier for me!

It was just the perfect amount of challenging and with some hints it was very doable to complete in 1 hour (where I let my daughters take the lead and only took over when they weren't understanding what to do - and then when I got stumped too, then we asked for a hint). Nothing is up high so my daughters could reach/access everything. Jewel of the Sea is one of the best Escape Rooms I have been to. because: -fun interactive hints from the parrot inside the room -creative puzzles (I won't give anything away, but we had to do things that I've never had to do in an escape room before - which was novel and fun!) -awesome decorations -you ride "a train" and get an introduction before even entering the escape room which was a neat & creative introduction -Vic our host was very animated, positive and nice -super cute gift shop to look in while you wait and they even give free escape room themed keepsake stickers! Overall, I was very impressed with the quality and creativity of Jewel of the Sea and will plan to return to Intrepid Escape Rooms to do other rooms in the future!

I would highly recommend this experience if you're looking for something scary and interactive. There's also 2 modes where you can make it normal or more scary.

Step inside the factory once owned by Caleb, his wife Sarah, and their daughter Lucy, and uncover the mystery behind what happened to their family. You'll navigate through dark rooms, search for clues, and at times split up into teams--or even venture out on your own. Garrett, Kes, and Jana helped make the experience such a fun one for my friends and me. They explained that this isn't your traditional escape room. Instead of focusing heavily on puzzles, it's a fully immersive experience where you become part of the story and experience the events firsthand while trying to piece together what's happening inside the factory. If you enjoy horror, suspense, or just want to try something completely different with your friends, this is definitely a fun group activity. Our 90 minutes flew by because we were so invested in figuring out the mystery and trying to understand everything happening around us. The staff was enthusiastic, the experience was immersive, and we were completely locked in from beginning to end. Just be prepared to get a little uncomfortable... physically and emotionally.
