Real Escape Room - Rowland Heights, California

John Houser

The escape rooms have some pretty cool puzzles. The only problem is that they are mostly confined to one part of the room. Their production values are a bit low (they could've done more than use crayons to draw on the walls). Still, I enjoyed the puzzles and company so it isn't a total waste, but it definitely needs to up its production (theme, decor, puzzle placement), if it wants to compete with the higher end escape rooms.

Are you good at puzzles and problem solving? ….(YES!)
Do you like a challenge?...(YES!)
Do you know a large group of individuals who can work well together?.....(kinda!)

If you answered yes to at least two of the above then you would LOVE the Real Escape Room. For Father’s Day the fam and I partook in the marvelous fun that is the Real Escape Room and we enjoyed every second of it. Luckily for us no one else thought it would be a good idea to go on a holiday so there wasn’t a wait. When we arrived we showed the cashier/game director our Groupon and were given the low down of the game.
The gist for Crazy Secret Laboratory (NO SPOILERS) –
You go do this in the dark or with lights. I suggest doing it in the dark; it’s a lot more fun with flashlights.
You get 2 clues throughout the entire game which only lasts 1hr.
This escape includes two rooms so plan accordingly.

Overall great game and the winners get their pictures on the wall. We solved the puzzle with 5 mins left on the clock. Super stressful but worth it when we got out. Big shout out to Julia who was the cashier/game director, she was super sweet and helpful! We were the only black family with a picture on the wall so we felt extra special 

Escape room was fun and challenging. Some of the clues needed you to take big leaps to figure it out, but the two hints were helpful. Definitely do it with the lights off and with flashlights. It adds to the atmosphere.

Absolutely terrible. Their puzzles made no logical sense, their theme and decorations were more of an afterthought, and the room itself is very bare. I have been to 3 other escape rooms and this one, by far, is one that I wouldn't go to if I had to pay for it. I had a deal that made it $11 each but our entire group thought that it wasn't worth that much -- maybe $5.

Compared to the other escape rooms i've been to, the puzzles for this is kind of counterintuitive and the decorations seemed really cheap and not well made. Also, flashlights died in the middle of the game.
