“We really loved this one! There is a reveal in this one that was one of our favorite reveals ever! The atmosphere and story were so strange, which we actually really liked. GM Damien was super nice and made our experience great. Very fun surprises in this one. We were laughing and talking about the ambience and twists in the car ride home haha!”

“This room felt like it was going to be short and then turned into so much more! I could see why people would run out of time assuming it was nearly over when it's not. The puzzles were challenging enough that it took some problem solving to work out. It's a linear room, so smaller numbers are better in it. But it felt so immersive and just kept getting cooler. The ending is so worth it, too.”

“A very, very fun and high-quality room! There was one puzzle we got COMPLETELY stuck on (felt like there should have been more in-room clues for it), but our game master was amazing and helped us through it. I’d highly recommend it for team of 4+ (we played with 2). Great set design!”

“Definitely challenging with two people as there is a lot to get through. We were a bit slow getting started, so we had to rush through the end. But we had so much fun. Rooms aren’t private, so we booked last minute to make sure it was just us, and I’m so glad we did.”

“Pros: - Super high tech room - worth a heart❤️ - A plot twist! - Clever and unique puzzles - Friendly staff - Same day discounts Cons: - Relatively easy - They merge groups - Last box had been open before we solved it - Less number of puzzles, one of the rooms only has one puzzle - May get uncomfortable if you are 3+ people - No parking validation (14$)”

“Even though the room is exactly the same structure with the Heist Room, and the expectation is not surprising, it was fun to play the puzzles that they were connected to the tv show. Good promotional room.”

“My favorite escape room at Escape Room 66! I love the theme on this one: Black and white with coffee and cartoonish artwork. The puzzles were so fun to solve and they have the right amount of tech. I also love the props! Overall, this room is just perfect. 10/10. 😁”

“I love a room that breaks the dark study/dungeon theme, and this one is a delight. Creative and very appealing to be in, and puzzles that are challenging while also being downright fun. The owner and her family are delightful as well. It's a labor of love and that shines through.”

“We really enjoyed this room - but just a warning… we came at night and when we left we were verbally accosted by a tenant in the strip mall. He was screaming profanities at us and we felt scared! So don’t go too late or by yourself??”

“Super fun, highly linear room with really good variety of technology and locks. Fantastic set design throughout the entire room. At the time, success rate was 33%, , but we didn't find anything too technical. 43 minutes with 0 clues with 5 people.”

“Just the right amount of scary! Thank God there's no live actors. 😆 Set design was sooo immersive from the moment you step in the room. It felt like as if you've been transported to the heart of Louisiana's Bayou. And like I said, just the right amount of scary. Nothing too crippling that it takes away from the actual puzzles solving. The puzzles itself were creative and fun. I actually like this room better than Whatever Happened to the Garretts? But I love the storyline in that one.”

“This room was soo surprisingly fun!! I do have to say, who you go with makes a big difference for this one! I went with few friends and it was so much fun! Its not super high tech, but i think it fits the mood by not being so. Everything fit so well with the story, which i feel like is what is the most important thing for me when looking for fun escape rooms. I want to be immersed!! And i definitely was!”

“This is a great 45 minute room for beginners. Let’s get this out of the way - it’s expensive, too expensive for a 45 min room as it’s priced the same as a 60 min room. However the design is top notch and it’s very well done. Would highly recommend especially to families.”

“7.5/10 Fantastic experience. Puzzles were fun, innovative, and the atmosphere/set design was great. Just wish it was a bit longer. Only negative is the age of the room showed. Wear and tear on some puzzles. Experienced players you will get through this room fairly quickly.”

“Each room teleports you to a new stage in the story, maybe the most unexpected Alice version you can encounter. The set, the props, the characters are amazing, very detailed, and you can feel the love that went into the world building. Each character you encounter on the way are pulling you more into the story. That being said, the puzzles are unique and creative but most of them are a bit “in your face” — you solve if you see, you don’t if you don’t read. Maybe except the first one… anyway. Lastly, Persy was our GM, very helpful, very enthusiastic, and fun to play together.”

About West LA
While Hollywood boasts some the most famous attractions in the world, it is LA’s Westside that arguably showcases the soul of the city. From the beach cities of Santa Monica and Venice, to glamorous Beverly Hills, the Westside offers a wide array of experiences for all to behold, including some of the city’s best escape rooms. If art and architecture is your passion, The Getty Center is a must visit. Or if a relaxing day of shopping and high-end cuisine gets you excited, then the Third Street Promenade might be for you.
Learn More About West LA Escape Rooms
Escape rooms have found a loving home on LA’s Westside. Since the first escape rooms arrived in Los Angeles in 2016, the film capital of the United States hasn’t stopped crafting these immersive puzzle experiences. In fact, Los Angeles proper is home to 49 different escape room venues and LA’s Westside offers a particularly exciting array of escape room experiences that are suitable for all tastes. 60 Out’s The Mystery of Senator Payne has been a fan favorite for years, and won a 2016 Golden Lock award. Maze Room’s Whatever Happened The Garretts is another hit with avid players and sure to provide an incredible experience. With over 170 escape games in the entire area, the possibilities are nearly endless — you’ll find games with themes of horror, adventure, crime, espionage, and plenty you may not expect.
How Do Escape Rooms Work?
Remember those point-and-click adventure games where you’re locked in a room and have to solve puzzles to find the key and escape? Those online games were the original inspiration for the live escape rooms you’ll find all across the world today. An escape room is an immersive experience where you (and your team of 2 or more people) are locked in a room with a series of puzzles for 60 minutes. To escape and win the game, you have to look for clues, solve the puzzles, and find the key. While most escape rooms only give you 60 minutes to complete the challenge, others may have shorter or longer time limits. Many venues are private rooms where you and your team are the only players. However, some places may pair you with other groups who booked a slot at the same time. And don’t worry about getting stuck, asking for hints on a difficult puzzle is totally normal. While the original escape room (created by SCRAP in 2007) had a fairly simple aesthetic, today’s escape games often take you into a different world. Artistic set designs, secret doors, and unique interactive elements are all part of the fun. It’s like an adventure game that you can interact with in real life. But if you’re hoping to preview any rooms before you book a game somewhere, detailed images and videos can be hard to find. To keep the puzzles a secret and preserve the experience of seeing the room for the first time, most venues only offer a few photos or a short trailer about the room’s theme or narrative. The only way to know what it’s like is to go and try it for yourself!
