Whether you’re a horror enthusiast or you just want to prove you’re not a scaredy-cat, this blog will break down what to expect in LA’s scariest escape rooms.

Why Choose a Scary Escape Room?

In a horror escape room, you never quite know what you’ll see. There are so many terrifying options that each story can be very different!

Just because a horror escape room falls into the “horror” genre doesn’t mean it’s going to be all blood, guts, and terror. Each escape room is carefully crafted, so your escape room experience can range from truly terrifying to just a little spooky. A horror escape room is a great choice for anyone who wants a thrilling adventure. You can customize your experience to make sure your whole family has fun.

The horror genre includes rooms with different difficulties, amounts of physical activity, and minimum ages.

There are also many different types of horror. You can opt for a room that is based on fantastical creatures, or choose a room that has more of a basis in reality… but be careful — the more realistic the escape room, the scarier it becomes!
