Exodus in 2022!

IMG_3802

I know some of our staff want to know, I know many of our Fans want to know, Heck, even our Licensee & Vendors want to know… What can we expect from Exodus in 2022? Allow me to pull back the curtain and share a little behind the scenes with you! Last year, like many companies, we spent much of the year rebuilding our teams.  We also sold a location, opened 4 new experiences and modified 2 experiences.  It was a great year in terms of recovery from the crazy of 2020, however, it was also a year of strategy and conservative moves. This year, in 2022, it will be much more exciting!  Our Game Development department will be launching between 4 – 6 experiences.  Rather than sell locations, we have eyes open  for 1 – 2 newlocations.  We plan to give-away and donate over 200 tickets to schools, churches and people in need!  Finally, for the

Top 3 Concerns of 2022

I did not think that this would be an article that I would have to write.  However, one Monday morning marketing call made it clear that there are enough people out there that are curious if our experience is safe? Now you may be thinking, oh, this is a Covid-19 related article.  You would only be partially correct.  You see, it was not too long ago that the movie production The Escape Room, hit theaters, and of course, it is a horror flick.  Well, Exodus is not horror.  Lasty, there are those of you where the mere thought of being “locked” in a room just seems like a “hell no, we won’t go” moment.  That all being said, let’s address all three:    Lions, Tigers & Bears…Oh My!  (yes, Covid)  As one of the first escape rooms to open in the entire United States, we have seen the good, the bad

Olympus Raises the Bar

Olympus Raises the Bar!

Our newest experience, Olympus, has only been around for a short period of time, but it’s already claiming the spot of “Favorite Exodus Experience” by many of our clients! Here’s five reasons why this room is so popular: 1. Latest Escape Room Technology Olympus is our most high-tech room, with only one lock and key! So to those who appreciate modern escape rooms over traditional lock and key, you are going to love it! (For those who prefer an “old school” escape room with more locks and keys, try Elevator instead. It has a healthy mix of both!) 2. Special Effects! Thunder and Lightning! (Who doesn’t love thunder and lightning?!?) Zeus booming demands from above! This experience has lighting and sound effects that continually impress our clients. 3. The Underworld Need we say more? The most exciting part of the hero’s quest is always the moment they have to enter

Exodus Rowland Heights – Sold!

Going Once?  Going Twice?  SOLD!!   That’s right, after five (5) years of serving Los Angeles County and the San Gabriel Valley market, we have SOLD our Rowland heights location!   We are going to miss the San Gabriel Valley, as we value the relationships that we have built in the community.  Over the years, we have partnered with Biola University on multiple occasions, been members of the La Habra Chamber of Commerce, worked with Noah’s Heart, and sponsored local soccer leagues on opening day.   This is not the first time that we have helped somebody pursue a dream of business ownership, and we could not have been blessed with a better couple for this location!  This husband & wife team (Jayden and Bonnie) are excited to bring some changes that will benefit the local community.  They are Chinese, and speak Mandarin, allowing them to serve a larger portion

Message From Our CEO

0E18B0B6-B383-4656-BAA8-9D7C0B2CBA6C

  Dear Exodus Fans, Friends, and Family: As you all know, businesses around the country are hurting right now.  In fact, yet another neighbor of our Anaheim Hills store just closed permanently.  This marks 3 just in our one little commercial center.  Sadly, Exodus is not immune to this, we are hurting too. Do you know what industry has received the most “Fan Support” during this mess?  I have a pretty strong guess!  I have stood by and watched as the restaurant industry received a mountain of help, as #ShopLocal & #ShopSmall movements really picked up steam.  I know this from first hand experience because my family also owns a Sandwich Shop.  I watched as the store neared closure, and then it all started with one post, then another, then a waterfall of positive comments and love.  Regulars and locals came out of the wood-works and swarmed the store for

Our 5 Year Anniversary!

5 Year Thumbnail

Exodus just celebrated it’s 5 Year Anniversary and we couldn’t be more proud or excited!  The last five years have been full of amazing adventures and we look forward to seeing what the next five years will bring!  I’m going to take you back through the past 5 years of escape rooms and Exodus! Brief history of the industry: When we first opened in 2014, we were one of the few escape rooms in the country and the first escape room in Orange County.  At that point, very few people had heard of, let alone played, an escape room.  They were barely entering the public view and many people weren’t sure they wanted to experience one.  Fast forward five years and escape rooms can be found all around the world, as well as in popular media.  They have quickly become a popular experience and Exodus has been around since the

Team Building at Exodus!

Team Building Events

Team building/bonding: a term that brings excitement to some and horror to others.  They are one of those things that no one can quite agree on.  Some people love them, some people hate them, and some just don’t care at all!  They often consist of groups of people who have different skills and interests, which can make it challenging when searching for an activity that everyone will enjoy. Well, I’m here at Exodus Escape Room to give you an idea for a super successful team building activity!  …and yes, it is an escape room!  Trust me, I’m aware that I am biased, but escape rooms really are an amazing team building or team bonding experience!  They allow your group to get away from the office and experience something entirely new together for an hour!  It allows them to work together, figuring out fun problems and puzzles, while completely taking their
