Dollhouse V.2

This room has SO many puzzles and mostly lock puzzles but it was still interesting! The doll vibes definitely made it slightly spooky but not scary! The puzzles did tell a story and some were more difficult than others. The end definitely requires a lot of running out and communication!

This was room was not worth the time and money. For starters our game master was uninterested and rushed us out the waiting room to begin our game. The ‘largest escape room in OC’ was really just 3 floors of locks, signs, and dolls with no creativity in the rooms whatsoever. Our group made it to the last puzzle and would have escaped if we were given an extra 2 mins but the game master ended it abruptly confirming my suspicion that he wanted us out of the room (our reservation was the last window for the night). Highly highly DONT recommend doing this room. From this experience alone I will not be interested in Puzzle Amazement’s other rooms in the future. P.S. If you know a group is on the last puzzle be a good game master and give them extra time (these things aren’t cheap anymore)

There were 3 floors and about 15 combination locks...you do the math 💀 Almost every single puzzle depended on a combination lock. The **creepy** factor was there but overall it was non immersive and the storyline was unclear. The game master verbally explained the story to our team while walking us to a different building so it was hard to hear and confusing. We were on our very last combination lock before the time ran out. No extra time was granted. GM had a hattitude the minute we walked in. We were the last game slot of the day so it was clear that he wanted us out of there ASAP.

We played version one back in 2016 and had some time and came back for version 2. The atmosphere of the room is fun. Very creepy. There are a fair amount of puzzles to do which is nice. We didn’t escape as a team of 2 but they did let us finish the room and experience which was nice. We got derailed on a puzzle that just didn’t quite make sense and ate up 20 minutes of our time. Some puzzles were very straight forward, others less, so you would probably benefit from having more than 2 people in the room for different opinions and thought processes. Has a minimum of 4 players that we had to pay for, and as a team of 2 I would say don’t do that. It’s not worth the cost compared other games in the area they don’t require a team of 2 to pay for 4. GM and staff was good.

Huge escape room! 3 stories! We almost finished but didn’t because we just couldn’t cover enough ground with just 4 people. The puzzles were just ok. You would get a riddle, solve with clues, then enter the answer on locks. It was mainly all locks. Nothing too innovative or different. Still worth it though.

My group and I played V.1 of the dollhouse and I think this new version is just as fun! Definitely some creep factor being surrounded by dolls but nothing too scary. With our group of 4, we struggled to escape. Definitely need a larger group to play this game! You will be actively visiting all three floors, wear comfortable shoes.

The location itself was hard to find even with the help of google maps. The room is no longer available but the room itself had a cool theme. It took place in a house with three floors and a lot of puzzles so this would be a great room for a huge group. My game master didn't seem very accommodating and ended up making a racist remark which greatly influences my review.

Creepy but not scary. Creative puzzles and a cool history!

We weren’t sure what the story was and how any of the puzzles correlated. This was a lot of space for 4 people

I enjoyed this! I played V1 as well, but this was a great update! It was a little tough on my leg (knee issue) getting up and down the stairs. But HOW COOL IS IT that it’s actually a 3 story escape room! Like seriously a 3 story house! The puzzles are super difficult and you’ll need a good sized group to make it happen in a decent amount of time, but this is spectacularly creepy and clever!
