Description:

Light-hearted, nostalgic, and playful, Playground is a favorite of both first-timers and enthusiasts. Your game will start in a classroom where you’ll have to finish all of your assignments before the end of the day, or you can forget about summer break. And these assignments are unlike anything you actually encountered in school. Playground was designed for up to 12 players and is an epic team building experience.

Initially we had an issue with our grouping but the manager Devon was really friendly and accommodating. We played the playground and it was an incredible experience! Absolutely recommend.

I love the Playground game! It had so many different categories to get your mind working in multiple ways. The game was fun and fast paced, can't wait to do another!

This location's rooms are all great! We did this room with 2 groups we didn't know and almost got out. This room takes a lot of communication and teamwork! The puzzles were fun and we had a great time.

Woohoo! The Escape Game is now here! I have been tracking this company across the states and was super excited for them to come to Irvine and so my party and I could finally try it out (even in COVID right?)? They also win in having the best location for an escape room in Irvine (right in the heart of Spectrum).

I did a double date here and did the largest (yet easiest?) room, the Playground. And let me tell you, the amount of effort and mechanics and gear in this room is nuts! They definitely have the most well-built room in all of OC and compete in quality with the LA escape rooms. You are definitely getting your money's worth if you book here. The room was super fun, easy to understand, no confusions, no weirdness or awkwardness, and overall super cute and well-detailed!

Our group of 4 (who haven't done in an escape room in over 9+ months because of covid and was highly disoriented) got out with 8 minutes left and used zero clues. You know a place is well-built if you can get out and clues are not a must (the puzzles here just make sense). My biggest advice for this room though is to split up and divide and conquer! (which we failed to do lol).

Cons: They are on the heaviest side of escape room pricings. At $40 a room for 1 hour, they easily out-price any other Escape room company in Irvine. Still, same-day and repeat bookings can help make the price slightly more mange-able if you rebook! Ask about these offers!

The customer service of this place is amazing, they're very welcoming and very organized to keep groups on time and ready for their experience. When it was out time the set up for the room made you feel comfortable even for those first time in an escape room and make you feel like you're submersed in the type of environment. This is my second time here and I've love both Playground and Special Ops. I would highly recommend coming here, they also sanitize between each group for a safe experience including a mask requirement.

I need more escape rooms in my life. I love critical thinking skills. This was the highlight of my vacation for sure.
