Lab rats was best in 2018 for a reason. It was a huge room and so much fun. A true brain twister and a fun story. The host was absolutely wonderful. Can’t wait to go back!
The Nest is not a conventional escape room; it’s a serious and extremely well-crafted work of art. If you’re a fan of interactive storytelling games, immersive theatrical experiences, or even installation art (full disclosure: I happen to be all three), you’re really going to enjoy it. Although I’ve never actually done a proper escape room myself, I’ve got to imagine that fans of those games will get a lot out of it too because it’s essentially about feelings of escape and confinement: a meta-escape room, if you will. It maximizes the physical aspects of the setting - a hoarder’s storage locker - to address themes of memory, mental disorder, and fantasies of travel that have tragically turned in on themselves. The pacing of the experience is perfect, and gratifying moments of discovery come every few minutes. Although some reviewers have compared it to “Gone Home,” the diversity and unexpectedness of the “aha” moments reminded me more of “What Remains of Edith Finch.” Next time you visit LA, put this one at the top of your list.

Lab Rat is one of the most thoughtfully designed escape rooms I’ve seen. Manav and Thomas were running our game, and everything went smoothly. They made the game feel more immersive without being over the top. The balance between storytelling, puzzles, and pacing was excellent. Definitely worth checking out if you’re into escape rooms.
I’ve done more than 15 escape rooms and Hatch’s Lab Rat escape room is bar none the GREATEST escape room I’ve ever done. The production value was incredible, the tasks were engaging, but what made the experience really stand out was the way it was run. Thomas and Manav were our game masters, and Thomas’s interactions with the group added so much to the experience. He made it feel like the room started when we entered the lobby, he even stayed in character for the hints! Nothing takes you out of the experience like a droning voice over an intercom. HIGHLY recommend this room and I hope you get Thomas or Manav!!
We did the lab rat room with Bex as our game master. Bex made the experience feel much so immersive and fun! She was super helpful with giving hints and we asked for a lot of them lol. The room itself had super cool effects and some really cool puzzles. Highly recommend coming here and can’t wait to come again to try out the other rooms!
