LOS ANGELES ESCAPE GAMES
This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 4 los angeles escape games worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
At The Escape Game LA in Century City, you get 60 minutes to complete one of four missions: Only Murders in the Building, Prison Break, Special Ops: Mysterious Market, or The Depths. A game guide such as Spencer, Alexy, or Trevor leads your briefing and offers hints. Plan 1 hour 15 minutes in all, with up to eight players.
At The Escape Game Torrance, you and your group get 60 minutes to solve a themed mission with help from a dedicated game guide. Pick from six rooms, including Prison Break, Gold Rush, Cosmic Crisis, Playground, Timeliner, and The Depths. Staff members such as Julia, Sam, Ian, and Alana are known for keeping the game moving without taking over.
Walk through downtown Los Angeles with guides such as Chris, Damien, and Paul, tracing murder cases, hauntings, corruption, and old LA scandals. The route includes the Cecil Hotel, Hotel Alexandria, Clifton’s Republic, and the Biltmore, plus two bar stops. Expect a small group of up to 15, a steady pace, and drinks at your own expense.
“LA native here, aside from typical Downtown LA behavior, the tour was fun! Our tour guide killed it (pun intended)! The walking wasn’t too bad, I’d definitely take a sweater and hand sanitizer. Other than that it was very informational and thrilling to learn all the history.”
Choose Hollywood or Santa Monica for a five-hour Amazing Race-style outing with clue solving, local stops, snacks, drinks, and transport during the race. You will work in teams of at least two, or join an existing team if booking alone. Expect puzzles, city sightseeing, and a competitive finish rather than a traditional guided walk.
Pick a room, a street or a table.
