You’ll jump right into teamwork at The Escape Game Torrance—choose from six themed escape rooms like Timeliner or Cosmic Crisis, race against the clock for 60 minutes, and get hints from a local guide if you need them. Expect laughter, a few surprises, and that rush when you finally crack a puzzle together.
We were already laughing before we even started—someone in our group tried to guess the code on the door just for fun, and our game guide (I think her name was Jamie?) just grinned and shook her head. At The Escape Game Torrance, you don’t really know what you’re walking into until you’re inside one of these wild rooms. We picked “Timeliner: Train Through Time” because someone in our group is obsessed with sci-fi, but honestly, I was nervous about being the slow one. Turns out, everyone gets stuck at some point—there’s this moment where you’re all staring at a weird clue and nobody wants to say they have no idea. You can hear muffled cheers from other groups through the wall sometimes, which made us laugh harder when we got totally stumped.
The puzzles aren’t just locks and numbers; there are things to touch, stuff hidden in places I’d never think to look (I won’t spoil it). The lighting changes as you go—at one point it felt like we were actually moving through time, or maybe that was just my brain getting scrambled by clues. Jamie popped in over the speaker once when we looked lost and gave us a nudge without giving anything away. I liked that she didn’t make us feel dumb—just kept it light. There’s this faint scent of marker pens and something plasticky in the air, not unpleasant but definitely “game room.”
I didn’t expect to care so much about finishing on time, but when that clock dropped under ten minutes my heart was pounding. We managed to escape with three minutes left—everyone high-fived like we’d actually saved the world or something. Walking back out into Del Amo Fashion Center felt weirdly bright after being in those rooms. I still think about how much we laughed trying to solve that last puzzle—I probably wouldn’t have tried this on my own if someone hadn’t booked it for us, but now I kind of want to go back for “Prison Break” just to see if we can pull it off again.
