If you are looking for an escape room that goes beyond just locking you in a room with some padlocks, Trapped Escape Room in San Dimas is on a completely different level. We just finished Pandora's Box and I am still reeling from how incredible the experience was The Atmosphere and Effects The production value here is insane. The set design is incredibly high end and detailed, but what really blew us away were the special effects. I have never seen weather simulations like this in an escape room before. The way they integrated environmental effects made it feel like we had stepped into another dimension. It is easily the most involved and immersive set I have ever seen. The Puzzles The puzzles were refreshing, intriguing, and most importantly, unique. They were not your standard find a key or open a box tropes. Instead, they were cleverly woven into the narrative of Pandora's Box and kept our whole group engaged the entire time. The MVP: Jack (Game Master Extraordinaire) The absolute highlight of our night was our Game Master, Jack. I cannot say enough good things about him! Jack is not just a host; he is a phenomenal actor. He was so deeply involved in the story and stayed in character in a way that truly elevated the stakes. His performance made the whole experience feel like we were starring in a movie rather than just playing a game. Final Verdict This is hands down the most involved escape room I have ever done. We are already planning our next visit to see what else they have in store. Ask for Jack because you will not regret it! read more

Hayley is phenomenal. She was so helpful when booking and they really out did themselves with their customer service. Jack was an amazing game master and entertainer. He truly made the experience and we will def be back to finish the rooms we have yet to do! We ended up doing two rooms back to back and it was so fun. We did Pandora's box and X-13 of which both were unique, had vastly different puzzles and the BEST part was that they have hidden puzzles that the game master uses if you're beating the clock. It really felt like you got your money's worth because they utilize the whole time. This is definitely a must stop place for escape rooms. Also-- they have a punch card!! Such a neat loyalty feature. read more

Awesome Escape Rooms Company event so we had about 11 people we split up between Pandora's Box and the group I was in was Operation X13 some zombie themed one... Tan building event was a success both groups finished and nobody yelled at each other.... Pretty professionally run and pretty darn challenging as well... Yes we cheated a couple of times and asked for clues... I highly recommend this place to anybody who likes Escape Rooms.. read more

Trapped is our favorite! We have done every escape room in upland and San dimas! Now they just need to come out with a few more! Just did x-13 and really liked the gal who was our mission leader (Rowen?) did an excellent job! They are creative and have fun interactive elements. Love the vests and the roles we each got plus the fact they include side quests if your team does really well. We were able to do two! Oh and shout out to Nicolas (? Think that was his name). I accidentally scheduled for Pandora's box which we had done a few months before, he switched it for me in a 1 minute phone call for me, even though it was not til the next day (after booking) that I noticed! read more

Absolute fun from start to finish. We did the Pandora's box room. It was so entertaining and used a lot of brain skills to solve the puzzles. Jack was so fun to work with! Definitely will do the other rooms!!! read more

The room was super fun and interactive, Rowen is an awesome host and character. We will definitely go back soon.

What I truly love about Trapped is that the staff, whether in San Dimas, Upland, and Las Vegas, they are all very nice and take pride in their rooms. They are the only place that gives back incentives that make you truly want to come back. For instance, they give a free shirt on the 3rd game you do with them, regardless of locations. Also, they give a free game for your 6th room. My family and I will be definitely coming back to finish all their rooms. Several of their rooms have unique puzzles and experiences. read more

What's up: Escape rooms can be fun if you have the right people with you. It can be awesome if the venue does a good job creating the puzzles and Trapped! definitely did it well. Parking: Located right off the 57 FWY, parking is plentiful. It's not too far from the Red Roof Inn. Environment: We signed up for a game the day of on their website. They had plenty of openings and games available. When we arrived, we signed in and watched a short video explaining the rules. There are small lockers where we stashed our gear (no phones allowed!). The staff members were really awesome and they made it a very immersive game; we felt like we were actual agents with our gear and vests :) What was ordered: - Operation X-13 Yay/Nay/Meh: Yay. We had a fun experience. After stumbling around a bit, we managed to solve and escape from Operation X-13. Staff members were very in character and it made it so fun. Credit cards are accepted. read more

I had a great time at the upland location, so decided to book a room with just me and my 8 year old and 4 year old sons. We did grandma's surprise, and it was definitely a fun surprise type of room. Great theming inside and good combination of puzzles. There was one dexterity puzzle I wasn't a huge fan of, but it was cute and thematic enough to get a pass. This room also had extra puzzles to expand your experience if you finish fast. Our GM Rose was also good, and did a good balance of letting me (the adult) do some things, while helping along my son so he could do some puzzles himself. The 4 year old did nothing obviously, but enjoyed the room, especially near the end. There were some flashing lights but nothing scary. Would definitely recommend this Trapped escape game location. read more

It was super easy to book via email for a party room. Staff was friendly and my daughter and her friends had so much fun! It was half the girls first time in a escape room and they all said this was the best. They don't offer any food for the party room but we just ordered Michaelangelo's pizza and picked it up quick for the party. I just wish they had signs to take pics like "we escaped" or things like that at the end. read more

The escape room was fun, the lady that helped us (Armie) was very nice. Whole experience was awesome, I definitely recommend!

Have you ever wanted to go to an escape room? Do you like to solve puzzles? Are you up for a challenge? Are you looking a fun group or family activity? What are you waiting for? Book your escape room with Trapped! This was my first time going to an escape room. We were a group of 7 that was looking for a fun team building activity. We came across Trapped and gave it a try. There is plenty of parking for your group and located right off of the freeway. All of the staff is very friendly and committed to making sure every guest has a great experience. Shout out to all of them! We had a wonderful time! They prep you prior to entering the escape room and do an outstanding job with setting the scene for your experience. They have some games you can play while you are waiting. We played uno and tic tac toe. It was fun! We did Grandmas Surprise amd we Loved it! It was much more challenging than expected. It was filled with many surprises, clues, puzzles. It gets your mind going. Grandma was helpful without giving us the answer. You most definitely need to think out of the box. Wear comfortable shoes. The clues and puzzles take you all around the room and lead to some surprises. It's a lot of fun. It exceeded our expectations. We are already planning to go back and try another room. They have a room if you want to bring your food but there may be a fee. Call and ask about this. They are always happy to help. Support this family owned business and book at Trapped! read more

Our Host, Jack, was a 10/10 experience, his love and passion for escape rooms was extremely infectious and he created an excellent experience for us. The room, pandora's box, felt dated and the puzzles weren't too special but we appreciated their attempts at making the room have interesting functions. Thanks again for the experience and we enjoyed our time! read more

Oh my goodness! From start to finish it was a 10/10 experience. Right when you walk in you see a clean, bright, fun lobby. There's puzzles and seating along the wall. They have a cool "clock" on the front desk. The front desk person walked us through everything and made everything clear. Had answers for all the random questions we had not relating to the process of the event. Super fun personality. Then we got brought back to the room and the lady who started us played her role very well and we had a fun time. The set up is great and the place is clean and everyone was super helpful and clear. It was a fun experience and I'd def want to come back. I highly recommend coming here and doing an escape room. The online process to sign up is pretty easy too! read more

Great experience! We had so much fun with the family. Definitely recommend. Ashley at the place was so great and helpful. read more

This Escape Room in San Dimas was so amazing!!! Our host Jack made our Pandora's Box experience over the top and so fun with his witty character helping to lead us through the adventure when we needed clues. I cannot wait to try all the other rooms!!!! Thank you JACK!!! read more

Okay I took my grandson to this place and had such a great time. My little guy was a little afraid but seem to have such a good time. This place makes you think, outside the box. We went on the room "Pandora Box". A little more difficult than the others. I'm taking my daughter there next week. It last about 1.5 hours total time but we'll worth it. I will definitely be back for more fun. read more

I've been here twice with friends and can't wait to try another room. We've done the Grandma's Surprise and Operation X-13 and enjoyed both a lot. The game masters were very into their roles and did a great job in playing their "characters" as well as providing friendly and knowledgeable service for registration and all. Shoutouts to Jack and Rose! The thing I like a lot about this place is that they make sure to give you your money's worth by providing bonus puzzles so that you get a full hour of escape room fun even if you solve the "basic" escape in under an hour. I never thought about how if you happen to do a really good job and finish in 20 minutes or something, you kind of get less for your money - so Trapped! helps make sure you don't get essentially penalized for being a good solver. Only thing I don't love is the price, but it's pretty standard for escape rooms. And at least they give you a 10% discount code at the end to book a return visit. I think they offer some specials at Christmas time also. read more

Our group of 8 did the Pandora's Box. Initially we had a group of 9 for Grandmas surprise but our group had a change of plans so we called ahead to make the arrangements. The lady I was on the phone with allowed us to do so, which helped us fit our needs so it was nice. Pandora's box was a more theatrical experience. There were light, water, and heat that made the experience more interactive. However for our group of people the tasks were not enough and left majority of us just standing around doing nothing. This room is not a typical escape room that you would do at another place. Whether that is better or worse would be up to you but this room should only be for 3-4 people. Each task is done one at a time so it's not like everyone searching the room, so very slow paced for a timed escape room. There was an actress/host so that was interesting. Overall, I was not super pleased with the experienced and was quite disappointed with how it turned out after the high reviews. As an individual who has tried a large variety of escape rooms and many of them, this was not one that I particularly enjoyed... it was an interested shot at being more theatrical and "immersive" though. I hope when I do try the others they'll be a bit different. read more

Just went for the Pandora's box room with my friend. We barely escaped :) The visual effects were fantastic. Clues were interesting and staff super friendly. Really enjoyed the experience! Highly recommend. read more

We did the room "Operation: Z-13." As a group of 7 who has done about 80+ escape rooms we felt It was overall a solid room. Production was 4/5. We felt immersed with the props they provided for us. The technology involved in the clues were really cool, however the room is very hint dependent. Scare level was 2.5/5. There's an actor involved who did a great job scaring us. Overall we enjoyed this room and would come back to do a different room from them. Also shout out to Syd who hosted us! She was very friendly and great and an amazing actress :) read more

My group and I have done around 20 different escape rooms, varying in all different kinds of difficulty. We did grandma's surprise escape room at this location, and it was quite interesting! Production value was definitely 3.5 to 4 out of five we had a group of six people. We finish the room with about 20 minutes to spare. This room is probably easy to moderate level. So with this company, trapped, supposedly, if you finish the escape room early, the game master has bonus mini games for you to solve... And they guide you to do it or at least start on it. Which I think is pretty cool. I would definitely come back next time to do the operation X - 13. A group ahead of us was doing it and it sounded very theatrical lol. Other neat thing about this place is they do give you loyalty cards. So by your third visit you'll get a free T-shirt and by your fifth visit, You get a free room. read more

FUN! My daughter wanted to celebrate her birthday here with friends. 8 kids did Grandma's Surprise. Ditter was very helpful and explained all the "what NOT to do's" to the kids. "Grandma" was very kind and patient with these overly excited kids. She was very nice and repeated the clues. Grandma's Surprise is a family friendly theme, not scary at all. Perfect for your first time participating in an escape room or if you have kids. The clues are straight forward .... if you LISTEN and pay attention =) LOL! The birthday group escaped and want to come back for another theme. read more

This place is cool. I like escape rooms and we enjoyed our time here. Rooms are creative, challenging, and enjoyable. Family friendly. They offer a rewards program which is a plus. It's not the most intricate escape room ever but you'll have fun. If you're just getting into escape rooms, this is the place for you. It's also conveniently located next to a pizza parlor read more

We opened Pandora's Box and realized we opened a portal! But we closed it before time ran out. Pandora's Box was an immersive experience. Every puzzle solved triggered some cool special effects. Because it relies heavily on storytelling, the format is extremely linear and is well-suited for smaller groups. Some of the puzzles require patience to to get through but were satisfying to complete. Linnea was our host and deserves a standing ovation for staying in character when she set the scene for us at the beginning. Great room!!! We'll be back to do their other rooms! read more

This review is LONG overdue! My partner and I completed all of the rooms at Trapped! Escape Room's California locations earlier this year (pre-The Trials of Merlin). The owner and game masters are all excellent, professional, and kind. The thing about Trapped! Escape Room is that each time you visit, you know that you're going to have an immersive experience in a high-quality room with challenging and fun puzzles. I've done countless puzzles over the years in different states, and Trapped! is one of three where I genuinely wanted to do every room they had to offer. They're THAT much fun. Each of the game masters really get into character and have fun with it, which makes it that much more fun. I genuinely love all of their rooms, but if I had to choose, Pandora's Box would probably be my favorite because of how unique it is. I'm excited to experience The Trials of Merlin in the very near future! read more

Super fun positive experience. Our game manager was engaging and funny. We did great! Will definitely be going again

We came here to celebrate my husband's 70th birthday. We had a party of six and it was the first time for all. We sucked trying to solve all the clues and if it wasn't for our support person we would still be there. We would definitely come back and do an easier room. read more

This was my first time doing an escape room, and it was such a fun experience, especially with a group of friends! There were 6 of us, and even with that many people, it was still challenging. We chose Operation: X-13, and the puzzles kept us on our toes the whole time. The real highlight was the amazing customer service--my friend decided to propose at the end after we solved everything, and the staff helped make it an unforgettable moment. Highly recommend Trapped! Escape Room for a fun, memorable group activity! read more

This place is so much fun. MUSE made our experience amazing. We did the Pandora's Box. Definitely coming again to play a different room. The person who greeted us at the beginning when we entered was super nice as well. Thank you MUSE for making our experience awesome. Definitely recommending. The Effects and Room were so cool. read more

Did Pandora's Box and Grandma's Surprise both on the same day with a party of 6. Clean place and very nice staff. Pandora's Box was linear and unfortunately it meant some people stood around watching others solve a puzzle. The game would be better with 2-3 people instead. On the other hand, Grandma's Surprise was nonlinear and a lot more fun with everyone being able to do something. The story was also more interesting and GM cracked some good jokes that we like to laugh about even today when we talk about this room. read more

We've done every room at the Upland and San Dimas location. We LOVE the creativity in each. From toughest to easiest, our favorites are Merlin, Grandma's Surprise, and Down the Rabbit Hole. Good luck! read more

Looking for some non physical exercise for the family to do. This is where Trapped comes in. Gives us the chance to use our brain power. And work as a team or family in our case. It's close to home too. Second time here. My wife and I came with some friends a while back and we did the operation x-13 room. Was very cool for the first time. This time we came with our 2 boys. After watching a video and surrendering our belongings into a locker we were off into grandmas room. Without going into major details we escaped with nine minutes left on the clock. Working together really does work! For a family of 4 or group it was perfect. Not to many people bumping into each other or getting to loud. Rooms aren't that big by the way. My family had a great time and we want to come back and do Pandora's box. read more

Loved it! My husband was not up for the experience at first but once we got into the Pandora's Box, he was hooked! He would not stop talking about the experience all night. Great, patient, and thorough staff that walked us through the entire process being that it was our first time. Thank you everyone! read more

Played Grandma's Surprise & Pandora's Box (the 181st & 182nd rooms I've ever played) and I have to give a special shout out to Pandora's Box. Both rooms were so fun and immersive with excellent story telling, but Pandora's Box took immersion and experience to the next level! It's inspiring to see that the creators keep bringing new levels and elements to the escape room world that bring excitement to these companies opening back up! I also played X-13 a few years ago at this location and I highly recommend every room here, with a special nod to Pandora's Box! It's absolutely memorable and worthwhile after playing almost 200 rooms! read more
