You and your ragtag crew of pirates stumbled upon the location of the Lost Treasure of Captain Blackbeard by mere chance and were ready to be wealthy beyond measure. Unfortunately for you, Captain Joseph Swan, the infamous pirate, also knew the treasure’s location. To keep you from getting to the treasure first, he tipped off the Royal Guard to your hideout so that he could have it for himself while you rot in a Caribbean prison.

Can you break out of prison, and navigate your ship to Isla Calavera to find the buried treasure? Or will you be lost to Davy Jones’ Locker?

Had so much fun as a random family outting! Owner is wonderful. We are already planning a trip for the other one with our friends and their kid! Wish we could have figured…

John Beeler

Had a great time in the pirate room. The level of difficulty felt just right. The puzzles were interesting but rewarding, and the change of scenery from room to room really helped.

Yoshitaka Katayama

This place was so fun. I went with my kids 13 and 11. I was afraid we wouldn’t be able to finish it but we did and we had so much fun. It was just the right difficulty for them.

Julia Gallo

Dani Bush

My sister, cousins, and I booked the Initiation room and had an absolute blast!! There was plenty for all four of us to do and we made it out with 13 minutes to spare. The puzzles were challenging but it was a lot of fun for the four of us to figure out together…

Kevin Frye

This place was super fun!! My girlfriend and some friends of ours participated in the Illuminati Room, and that was such a fun experience! All the rules are explained and you have 2 difficulty choices. Either receive hints when you’re falling behind, or only get hints…

FAQ

What is your refund policy?

We do not do refunds. You can reschedule your booking 24 hours in advance or get store credit.

How early should I arrive?

We ask that you arrive 15 minutes before the start time of your booking. This allows time to use the restroom and hear the rules of the game. If arrive at the time your booking starts you may lose time in your experience.

Will my party be paired with strangers?

Nope! All of our games are private. It’s only you and your party in the room. You can book 2-10 guests per room.

Can I add more people after I made a booking?

Yes! You can call ahead to add more or do it once you get here. The added guests will still have to complete a waiver.

I'm not sure how many people are coming. Can I still book?

Yes! We recommend booking the lowest number of people you think are coming. You can always add more later. We do not do refunds for people who end up not coming.

Can I reserve the room and pay later?

No, you must pay for at least two players to reserve a game/time.

Do you have an event space for birthday parties?

No, we do not have a party space. If you want to have cake and ice cream after your escape room adventure, we recommend going to Oggi’s across the street from us. https://www.oggis.com/location/oggis-sports-brewhouse-pizza-mission-viejo/

Are your rooms difficult?

Both of our rooms are on the easier side! We recommend The Lost Treasure of Captain Blackbeard for beginners. Hijinx at Joffre Manor is similar in difficulty but it’s much bigger. More space to cover = takes longer.

Can I bring kids and babies?

Yes! Babies and kids under 6 are free. 7 and up you have to pay for.

Any kids aged 14 and under must be accompanied by a chaperone (comped) that is 18 or older. No exceptions.

For more than 5 kids you need 2 chaperones (both are comped).

We only comp 2 chaperones total. Any other adults must be paid for.

Are your rooms scary?

Nope! Both of our rooms are family-friendly. No live actors. There are some moments where the rooms are dark but nothing will jump out at you.

I have a group of more than 10 people, what do I do?

You can split up your party between our two rooms. But YOU MUST CALL AHEAD for your rooms to start at the same time.

Do I need to speak English to do your rooms?

At least one member of your party needs to understand written and verbal English.

Is there a parking lot?

Yes! We are lucky to have a nice big parking lot that we share with the businesses around us.
