You’ll step into one of six themed escape rooms in Orange—think cosmic missions or daring prison breaks—with your own group and a friendly local guide. Expect hands-on puzzles, unexpected laughs, and that buzzy feeling when you almost solve something together. It’s an hour where teamwork matters more than winning—and you’ll remember those little moments long after.
The first thing I noticed was the weird hush that settles right before the timer starts. We’d picked “Cosmic Crisis” at The Escape Game in Orange (mostly because my cousin wouldn’t stop talking about black holes), and suddenly we were standing under blue lights, staring at a console that looked like something out of a retro sci-fi movie. Our game guide, Mia, grinned and told us not to overthink things—easier said than done when you’re handed a mission to save the universe in exactly 60 minutes. Someone’s phone buzzed and we all jumped, which kind of set the tone.
I liked how the puzzles weren’t just about numbers or locks—sometimes it was textures, like cold metal switches or those weirdly smooth puzzle pieces you have to fit together by feel. At one point, my nephew tried to crawl behind a panel (he’s eight and has zero patience), and Mia just laughed through the intercom: “You’re warm, but not quite there!” There was this faint smell of markers and something sweet I couldn’t place—maybe from the Playground room next door? It made me think of school hallways for some reason.
We didn’t actually escape in time (I blame myself for getting stuck on the last clue), but nobody seemed to care much. Afterward, we compared notes with another group who’d done Prison Break—they were still arguing about whether it’s better to split up or stick together. I still think about that moment when we almost cracked it; there’s this rush you get when everyone shouts out ideas at once, even if half of them are nonsense. So yeah, if you’re looking for an escape room in Orange that feels both challenging and kind of goofy, this is probably it.
