The Experience
Hands working a lock, voices calling out numbers, someone pointing at a detail on the wall nobody else spotted yet. That's the first five minutes of an escape room at The Escape Game in Westlake, and it's the moment you realize this isn't a passive experience. You've got exactly 60 minutes to work through one of six games—Special Ops, The Heist, The Depths, Prison Break, or Timeliner: Train Through Time—and the clock starts the second your game guide closes the door. Up to eight of you are in there together, which means it's not about being the smartest person in the room; it's about actually talking to each other, splitting up to search, and trusting that someone else will find what you missed.
The setup is straightforward. You arrive, spend about 15 minutes getting briefed on your mission—whether you're recovering a stolen painting, breaking out of a cell, or traveling back through time—and then you're in. The games aren't dark or scary the way some escape rooms are; they're designed to feel like an adventure, which changes the whole vibe. Your guide is there with you, watching from a monitor, and if you get stuck they'll nudge you in the right direction without just handing you the answer. The puzzles build on each other, so solving one thing opens up the next room, and you're constantly moving, constantly finding new clues. Sixty minutes sounds like a lot until you're ten minutes in and realize you've barely scratched the surface.
Crocker Park itself is in the middle of Westlake, surrounded by restaurants and shops, so if your group wants to grab lunch before or celebrate after—Graeter's ice cream is right there, or The Cheesecake Factory if you want something bigger—you're not driving anywhere. The whole experience, including the 15-minute debrief and photo time after you finish, takes about 90 minutes from when you walk in. Younger kids can play if an adult is with them, though the games are really built for ages 13 and up; anything younger and some of the logic might feel out of reach. The rooms are wheelchair accessible, and there's an exit button on every locked door if anyone needs to step out.
Book one of the six games and you're locked in for your hour. Unless you've booked every single spot in the room, other groups might join you—which honestly usually makes it better, because you get more people to split the searching and more brains on the harder puzzles. Plan to arrive about 15 minutes early so you're not rushing through the briefing, and bring a group that actually wants to talk to each other. That's really the whole thing.

Traveler reviews
Top questions
What happens if we get stuck on a puzzle?
Your game guide is monitoring from outside and will offer hints if you ask, but won't solve it for you. The goal is to help you find the answer yourself.
Can we play with kids under 13?
Yes, but the games are designed for ages 13 and up. Younger players can join if an adult (18+) is with them, though some puzzle logic may be too difficult. An adult must also sign the waiver for anyone under 18.
How long does the whole experience take?
Plan for about 90 minutes total: 15 minutes briefing, 60 minutes in the game, and 15 minutes debrief and photos.
Can we book a private game just for our group?
You can book all available spots in a game to guarantee privacy. If you don't, other groups may join your team.
Is there parking at Crocker Park?
Yes, Crocker Park has parking. The Escape Game is located next to shopping and dining options in the center.
What if someone needs to leave during the game?
Every locked door has an exit button. You can leave at any time if needed.
Which game should we choose?
All six are designed for the same 60-minute format. Pick based on the theme that appeals to your group: secret agent, art heist, underwater lab, prison escape, or time travel.
Is the room actually locked?
Yes, the door locks, but the exit button lets you out instantly if you want to leave. The games aren't designed to feel claustrophobic.
