We’ve played 80+ LA escape rooms and over 375 (in-person) in total. Here are our recommendations for the “best” Los Angeles escape rooms. LA is our favorite place in the US to play escape rooms, and we make multiple trips every year to check out whatever new games pop up.
We dub Los Angeles the “Escape Room Capital” of the United States, due to the sheer volume of top-tier games (we suspect that this is mostly due to the mix of entertainment industry creators and immersive-entertainment-loving customers).
These rooms offer great overall experiences and push the standards of the escape room industry in ways that we’re really excited about. Of course, “best” is subjective, so please read through our reviews to find a game suitable for you!
