Ten years of California escape rooms and a wall of Google reviews we've never bothered to put on our own website. Solvang sits at 4.7 stars and Marina del Rey at 5.0.
“This was our first escape room for our family, had a great time. Room operator was awesome, giving us hints. Made our Solvang visit a memorable one!”
“Went to Solvang “Nisse” escape room with family. There were five of us. It was a lot of fun, everyone got involved in trying to figure it out.”
“This is a great activity to do, especially as a group. I loved the Solvang theme and would love to come back to try a different room.”
“This was tons of fun! We booked the Mischievous Nisse room. The staff was very helpful and friendly. They were great in providing hints when we got stuck.”
“The Gold Rush room was fantastically decorated and thematic with actual antiques and a great ambience. Best of all, the puzzles were really creative.”
“Located right off Hwy 246 in the City of Solvang, this quaint escape room is perfect for large and small groups alike.”
Every game runs 60 minutes for 1–10 players, hosted live on camera and intercom. There's one for every level, from a Beginner room that suits first-timers to an Advanced one for groups that like a fight.
Beginner
Your family's Christmas gnome is not happy you've broken tradition, and he has other plans for the holidays. Bring back every tradition and he lets you go. A Danish-Christmas story, and the best place to start.

Times vary by day and season. The calendar above shows every open slot, and it's the quickest way to book.
It's a live game. Your group is closed in a themed room with a story, and you have 60 minutes to find clues, solve the puzzles and work out how to get out. It's about teamwork and curiosity, not strength or special skills, and a host watches the whole time to give you hints.
Yes, plenty of our visitors are first-timers. The Mischievous Nisse is our Beginner room and the best place to start, and Gold Fever is a step up at Intermediate. Phantom of the Big Top is Advanced, so save it for your second visit.
No. Your group will be the only group in the room while you are there. Your host communicates from another room by intercom and camera.
Not in the horror sense. There are no actors in any room and no jump scares, so nothing is going to leap out at you. The Mischievous Nisse is the gentlest pick for younger children.
No. There is an emergency exit door in every room that stays unlocked the entire time. Note that once you leave through it, your game is over, but the rest of your team can carry on.
Your group has up to 60 minutes to escape. Allow about 30 minutes on top for check-in and the debrief, so plan for roughly an hour and a half. Please arrive at least 15 minutes before your start time.
