We read somewhere that the Entrapment (Bayou Room) was a Top 5 Escape Room in San Diego so we decided to give it a try. We usually have 5 in our group but were missing our 5th this night. We were a tad skeptical upon arrival as their location shares a main entrance way with a car sales & sketchy massage parlor. It also had a strong smell of pets or the bad smell of a public bathroom. Then their guest waiting room was nothing to brag about when compared to the 20+ other escape rooms we've visited...

That's where the negative observations stop. Upon entering The Bayou room, it was well designed/decorated, very interactive, and had a lot of variety involved to keep you interested the entire time! It wasn't a typical escape room where you have to open 20 locks to complete the game. Our game master had to inform us we were doing the right thing but gave hints if say something we're doing wasn't lining up quite right to obtain the desired result but this didn't detract from the overall experience. Teamwork is definitely needed as there's lots to do in there! In the end, it turned out to be a very fun yet challenging experience. Give The Bayou room a try if you want something a little different than you're accustomed to! You won't be disappointed.

Description:

The second part of the Fogmore saga will take you deep in the bayou where a secret lies sunken beneath the murky waters. A secret that has haunted the Fogmore family for over 100 years. The legends of black magic and mystical portals can’t be real, can they? Could Martin Fogmore’s crimes and his beloved Emily’s curse be real?

Tread lightly on the creaky dock and approach the weathered shack cautiously, but don’t believe everything you hear. No one, and nothing, is as it seems and the next twist in this story may be your last.

Reviews of escape game "The Bayou: Legend of the Midnight Raven"

Don't let the unassuming building and entry fool you, this escape room experience is awesome. We did The Bayou, and it was clever, fun and interesting. The set design and trinkets in the rooms were super cool, definitely lots of attention to detail. And the self-imposed access to clues when needed was nice. The video that starts the experience gives some fun background to the story. We also appreciated it just being a party and not having to try to solve with strangers. Overall a really fun experience!! Several cool pubs nearby as well.

My group of four did both Fogmore Manor and the bayou rooms. These rooms are done really well! We've done a bunch of escape rooms in San Diego and this one is definitely in our top 3 favorite places. The tech in these rooms are really awesome! They are very challenging which we like but doable. We got trapped in both rooms but we're about a minute away from solving them so the owner let's us finish. The owner is really passionate about his rooms which is really cool. He designed and programmed everything himself which is very impressive. I wouldn't attempt this room with any less than 4 people because it is challenging. Definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to do an escape room.

I did this room when I was on a trip to San Diego last year.

It's the best escape room I've ever done. We did the 90 minute Bayou room, and it was AWESOME! I loved how items could be reused and the puzzles were not like not typical and formulaic. You definitely had to think outside the box.
