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

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

Tips from Escape Room Employees!

Tips From Escape Room Employees

Who better to ask for tips about escape rooms then people who run escapes every day?!  Our team has seen thousands of people attempt our rooms and therefore has seen people make all the mistakes!  When I asked a few of them what their top tips were, in regards to playing escape rooms, this was what they said: “My biggest tip is to try everything (unless it involves breaking something)!  If somebody in your group has an idea, give it a shot before moving on, it could be exactly what you need.  It also helps to try a few different things before putting something down.  I see a lot of groups come really close to solving something and give up before they finish!”  -Aaron, Escape Coordinator “Try to think like the escape room designer!  We want you to succeed, so we often include subtle hints to guide you in the
