The 4 Best Los Angeles Escape Games Tours

1.The Escape Game LA: Epic 60-Minute Adventures in Century City

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 171 reviews · 1 hour 15 minutes (approx.) · from $46Our pick

At The Escape Game LA in Century City, you and up to seven teammates get 60 minutes to solve clues in one of four story-led rooms. Choose Only Murders in the Building, Prison Break, Special Ops: Mysterious Market, or The Depths. Guides such as Spencer, Trevor, and Alexy offer hints when needed.

“We did the Only Murders room, which was wonderfully curated and delightfully challenging. At the last minute, a family booked our same room so we had to solve the room with them. Unfortunately, the room got very crowded and collaboration was disjointed. For me, one of the best parts of escape rooms is bonding with people I care about. So next time, I would book extremely last minute to ensure a more intimate experience.”

“Not too sure why we this is called a tour. Basically, you pay and get nothing out of it but frustration. We were given an envelope with puzzles, subway passes that didn't work and were told to meet back at same place for a beer in 7 hours after being on our own. HORRIBLE!!!!!! Do waste your $!”
