ESCAPE ROOMS – 60out Escape Rooms: Outbreak – California
I love this company and Outbreak happens to be at my favorite 60out Escape Rooms location in Marina Del Rey. Not only is there easy parking, awesome staff, amazing food walking distance from the location, but they also have some of my favorite escape games at this venue. Outbreak is one of those favorite games.
Outbreak is a wonderfully immersive experience. The set design, props, decor, use of technology is outstanding. The puzzles are not your standard “puzzle room” style conundrums, but rather a more hands on approach to figuring out what you might really do in the situation. I find this makes the experience all the more immersive and fun. However, if you are looking for a more puzzle heavy, mentally challenging game you may want to choose one of the other games at this location. However, if you want to really feel like you’re in a high stakes situation or a character in a video game that is going to save the planet, this is a perfect game for you.
There is a serum that you must find to save the world from a deadly virus. I know it’s not the most original concept in the world of escape rooms, but they do such an amazing job of executing the game that the over-used theming that it’s perfectly fine. I mean, just because I’ve played games with that theme before doesn’t mean newer players have anyway. Besides, people love being a hero and saving the world.
Overall Outbreak is one of my favorite games in the nation for it’s creative out of the box style, beautiful set and incredible immersion. It’s like spending an hour being in your own science fiction action movie, instead of just sitting at a theatre watching one. I highly recommend this game for players of all levels.

WHERE TO EAT NEARBY:
One of my favorite bakeries is walking distance from this location. The Sinners & Saints Bakery has a large selection of delicious baked goods (including gluten-free) as well as unique coffee options.
I’ve eaten here every time I’ve come to play games at the Marina Del Rey 60Out location. They have great Thai food with a good variety of gluten free options. It’s reasonably priced and always yummy. They have quick service. They are a couple of blocks from the games. I think they may be in a converted Taco Bell, so not a fancy place but a great local find.
ESCAPE ROOMS- 60out Escape Rooms Hangover Game – California
60OUT ESCAPE ROOMS HANGOVER GAME
60out Escape Rooms is one of my favorite companies for escape games. They are creative, immersive, high-tech games. They always have outstanding set design and impressive decor. Hangover Game is another beautiful room that gives the players the feeling that they are in an actual game room/bar. It looks great.
The theme was unique. I’ve seen mafia rooms and I’ve seen hangover rooms, but this is the first mafia hangover room. It was a clever story idea. They had a fun way of delivering information throughout the game that helped move the story forward, too.
They have top notch customer service. The gamemaster was professional and on top of the action in the room for the most part. She wasn’t aware that one of the tech puzzles was malfunctioning at one point, but she was aware of the other tech glitches and let us know immediately. She gave us guidance without being aggressive with hints, usually waiting for us to ask.
Unfortunately Hangover Game didn’t quite live up to my expectations of a 60out game when it came to the actual puzzles and game play. The high-tech room was a bit glitchy. We had trouble with a couple of the puzzles because the tech wasn’t functioning properly. When we spoke to our gamemaster she tried to explain that the room wasn’t properly beta-tested and they were still working out the bugs a month after opening to the public. I found that to be very frustrating. Most of the puzzles were not difficult to solve per se, but with poor execution they became more difficult than they should have been. There were a few puzzles that used props and set pieces in clever ways and others just didn’t make sense to the story and felt oddly out of place in the room.
Overall, I love the 60out Escape Rooms company and think they create beautiful, fun games. However, in my opinion the Hangover Game is one of their weakest. If everything worked properly, it would be a fun game for new players.

WHERE TO EAT NEARBY:
My favorite chicken place is a couple of blocks west on Melrose. It’s soooooo good and pretty healthy. They have gluten-free breading for their chicken strips and gluten-free cookies. The fountain soda machine has unique choices and so does the cooler. The staff is great too.
