National Escape Room Day!   On Sunday we kicked off celebrations for National Escape Room Day! Festivities were held at Stereo Brewing in Placentia, where escape room companies across Southern California hosted booths with minigames, puzzles, and prizes! If you didn’t have a chance to swing by, Exodus had 6 puzzles to solve, each themed after one of our six distinct experiences.   Escape rooms have evolved immensely over the last 12 years, from simple, themeless puzzle rooms, into theatrical immersive experiences.  Exodus has grown with the industry during this time, and we strive to create a better experience each time we launch a new room!  We put our whole heart into creating every experience and we hope that you can feel it when you book with us.    We are lucky in Southern California to have so many passionate owners and such a large community of escape room lovers…

A Reimagined Escape Room Experience Inspired by Greek Gods & Goddesses If you’ve been following along with our recent updates, you already know—we’ve been hard at work behind the scenes at Exodus Escape Room. And now, we’re excited to finally pull back the curtain on one of our most anticipated upgrades: Olympus has returned… but not as you remember it.

So yesterday we found a crack, 6 inches of water, mold, smells, cold, some bad lines, some wasted product, and a little blood.  Look, life isn’t perfect.  Sometimes you gotta adjust your stance and hit the curve.  It’s a new day, new energy, time for round 2!   Feeling good and rejuvenated after a nights rest, I was ready to leave the crazy day one behind me.  I needed to run an extension cord to the upstairs balcony and attach a timer so all the lights come on at the same time (a wifey request, makes a lot of sense.)  I climb the stairs, stroll out on the balcony, move a potted plant and a chair, get down on a knee and try to plug in the timer.  Only one problem, it isn’t plugging in!  Hmmm, I think to myself, this piece was not soaking in water and looks perfectly…

At first I was not quite sure I wanted to share this story.  Heck, I even thought I’d use the whole “I’ve got this friend”, but let’s be honest, it was me.  But since I am being that honest, I will not disclose if this was 10 years ago, or this very Christmas!?  That will be up to you.  One thing is for sure, without wanting to, I sure channeled my inner Griswold!   It all starts with those wonderful conversations a husband has with his wife that goes a little something like this, “Honey, just stay off the ladder and hire those lights guys to put up the lights this year.”  Sure dear, no problem…until the quotes came back that is.  For those of you that do not know, some of those companies have a $600 minimum!  Some charged thousands, but for a simple roofline and garage door outlined,…

  As one of the pioneers of this industry in the US, our team at Exodus has always looked for ways to stay special.  Years ago, one such way was to launch a Christmas themed experience.  It was a hit!   Ever since that year, we chose to invest in these limited holiday experiences that would have to be flipped again as soon as the holidays were over.  But, the laughs, the smiles, and the Christmas Spirit, was (and is) totally worth it! We can truly say that is one of our favorite seasons because of all of you!   This year we launched not one, but two:  Christmas Mischief (Anaheim Hills & Rancho Cucamonga locations) and Clark’s Crazy Christmas (brand new Tustin location.)     While brainstorming Christmas Mischief, we wanted to create an experience that stayed true to our roots of being family friendly, that overflowed the Christmas spirit,…

Escape Rooms are an awesome experience for the family, friends, & co-workers this Halloween season!  Why?  Allow me to share!   Reason #1:  It’s that perfect middle ground between scary haunts and the kindergarten room w/ spider & ghost decor on the wall.  We bring just the right amount of mystery and suspense, without someone jumping out at you.  If you are one of those folks that don’t want to be unexpectedly scared or startled, or one of those that just might throw a punch if a scare-actor jumps in your face or touches you (lol)…then we are the perfect, big step down from that.  Like goldi-locks porridge, we are not too hot, not too cold, but just right.  There is something a little nerve-racking about getting “locked in” for an hour, and the timer ticking down while you try to escape.  However, at the end of the day, there…
