Haunted Recording Studio

My first escape room. Misha was fun, helpful and highly creative. The props and environment were fantastic. I didn’t care about getting out in record time, because it was such an interesting and engaging experience. I’d highly recommend this to anyone. Fascinating! Thanks, Misha! Well done!

This was our first escape room. It was so much fun. The atmosphere was great with just enough to make you nervous but not so nervous that you couldn’t think about the task at hand.
Our host was great. I really like the hint system that’s provided in case you get stuck.
Overall I loved it and will definitely be returning once they get the Chernobyl room up and running.
Thank you so much for making our first escape room a great experience.

Great place! Had so much fun with my friends!

This is a wonderful room, especially for those new to escape rooms who don’t want to be overly challenged by the puzzles.
Misha, who was our host, gets players in the spirit with his warm welcome and his spooky scenario for the room players will explore. The moment you’re inside, the action begins and a great mood is set with production values — the lighting, sounds and sets are terrific and create a highly immersive environment.
We had six people on our team, which is the most I can imagine having in the room. We were sometimes a bit cramped and not everyone was able to be directly involved in solving all of the puzzles. But, the puzzles were creative and fun, so we continuously had a good time even when we couldn’t be hands on.
We made it out in 28 minutes. Think you can beat our time?

I have done eleven escape rooms in Los Angeles and this one is one of the best. The host Misha was great and the area was fully immersive with sounds and creepy music. I can’t wait for him to open up another one.

Great experience all the way around. The host is super nice. This experience is worth a try

My crew had a great time — the host/​moderator was totally enthusiastic, which made it fun. And this particular location is really a recording studio, so it feels super authentic. I like the «Hint» system — lots of cool sound throughout.

I tried this place out because my girl friend was really interested in escapes rooms my bf brought a friend along and I found tickets at a good price.
They all agreed they had a really fun time!!! It was our first escape room ever and the creepy vibe is what I loved most becuz my gf and bf are easily creeped out lol. But I would totally recommend this very fun with friends
Would do their next room
:)

This Escape was such a great time! … and spooky… O. O
4 people, each solving bits of the puzzles… t’was perfect. Each puzzle was interesting, then a bit frustrating, then finally satisfying. The ambiance of each little room made me a bit hesitant to walk in as I’m a tad faint-​hearted, but it really is just right for an old small recording studio — of course it helps that it is truly a haunted recording studio of old Hollywood days!
We also appreciated the host very much! An interesting artist fellow who is attentive and proud of his Escape Room, and quite intent on making his spaces just right. At the end, we inquired a bit about the space and he gave us a glimpse at future things to come. Very excited to see more from him! ^_​_​_​^

Great escape room. Highly recommend this company. My friends and I did this room today (there were 6 of us) and we had a blast. We couldn’t find it at first since its on the 2^nd floor of what looked like used to be an apartment complex. We had originally gone to the gray building marked «Vivid Group» or something like that. My friends and I had parked up the hill and walked to where the sign was… not too bad of a walk.
Now onto the room… first off, the host (Misha) set the scene pretty well and he explained what all the sounds we would be hearing in the room meant. The props were awesome! One of the more impressive rooms I’ve done (out of 17, thus far). I agree with the other reviews and it really is an immersive experience. Everything matched the theme and the puzzles were the right degree of challenging. We got out with about 23 min left on the clock (37 min into the hour) and we all had a blast. Can’t wait to check out their new room when it opens. Thanks Misha!

I had fun with this one since the atmosphere was creepy, which is unique compared to the other escape rooms I’ve done. Nothing pops up at you so I wouldn’t call it scary, although we did have a few screams. The puzzles are pretty straight forward and linear to get to the next room. The only gripe we had about it was that there were a lot of red herrings! We could’ve escaped faster if we didn’t get so caught up in the useless props. I would highly recommend still :)

First escape room and had a blast. The front guy, Misha was so friendly. Definitely recommend this place

Boyfriend and I loved loved LOVED our experience! Misha was super cool and down to earth. It just made our experience that much better.
We made a reservation Wednesday night at 9:15PM. Surprisingly, it was just the 2 of us. Because we both got some escape room experiences under our belts, we figured we have a good shot, at least we’ll make it to «almost». Misha made it clear it was going to be scary, we immediately got nervous, but the excitement was over the roof. We were so ready for this!
The rooms are well designed and the atmosphere was just awesome! We were both creeped out throughout our entire experience. Well done Misha! One clue leads to another, we were working together quickly because time isn’t waiting. Misha kept his eyes on us the whole time and gave us hints when he sees us struggling.
We made it out with additional 7 minutes to spare. Misha was right there to congratulate us at the exit. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish. We can’t wait to come back for the second escape room that’s under construction now.

Excellent theme and experience. I totally felt the creepiness of the haunted recording studio. The back story was pretty good too. I love the use of auditory obstacles as well or the typical puzzles that you’d expect from an escape room.

This is a fairly new escape room in the area. They’ve taken a real recording studio/​apartment and converted it into an escape room, in which you must release the spirit of a ghost and get out.
Man, they sure do hype this one up to be scary. But when you actually do the room, it’s more mildly creepy than it is scary. It’s dark, there’s weird noises, and there’s a hallway with a bunch of doors. But nothing’s going to jump out at you.
There are a LOT of things in this escape room that you would expect to find in a recording studio: CDs, cables, wires, mics, TV screens, lights, records… unfortunately, you’ll probably use like 5% of it. Part of the difficulty and the annoyance of this room is figuring out which things you’ll use and which things aren’t necessary. It seems like the room designer didn’t want to do much redesign, so he put blood and dust everywhere, hid a few puzzles among everything, and dimmed the lights. Trying to make an escape room AND a haunted recording studio out of the same space did not work too well.
The team I took got to the last door in about twenty minutes, and then spent about fifteen minutes trying to figure out how to operate the electronic lock to get out. We were ready to kick down the door when someone punched in the code for the umpteenth time and it finally opened. If the instructions to open the door are written on it and it still takes about as long to open the door as it does to run the whole room… I don’t know if that means my team was REALLY BAD at following instructions or the door needs an easier-​to-​operate lock.
Most escape rooms put a ton of thought and time into making their rooms full of tricky puzzles, secret crawlspaces and rooms, and hard-​to-​find clues. In other words, they devote the entire room to being an escape experience. The Haunted Recording Studio did not impress the team I took, failing to deliver on horror and making a convoluted room filled with too many distracting elements. It might be better-​suited for newcomers looking for a thrill, but it falls toward the bottom of the many escape rooms in Los Angeles.
Thankfully, they are new, so hopefully they can improve on this performance.

This was an awesome experience. The atmosphere was AWESOME. The service was EVEN better!
I took my 14 year old daughter and 12 of her friends to this escape room. Misha and the entire team were so accommodating and perfect at dealing with the TEENS. The adults, myself included we just as entertained as the kids. I was skeptical and it was way more fun than I ever thought it would be. We had 3 groups of 6 go through the escape room. The team trying to escape had a blast and I must say that the ones that were left waiting, thoroughly enjoyed themselves in the decked out lounge, TV, comfy couches, video games and movies! There was even a full kitchenette with a fridge and microwave… lots of popcorn was eaten. We can’t wait to go through the next adventure, which should be open within the next 6 weeks.

Escape Room #33 for me.
The puzzles, while decently imaginative, were a little too easy for my group of 3. The most difficult part was figuring out what some of the completed puzzles were leading you to next. BUT, the atmosphere made up for any deficiencies. This is in an actual abandoned recording studio, so a lot of the production design was already built in and they really delivered on making it creepy without it being too scary. Plus, the owners were really nice. Looking forward to their next room.

I like this type of entertainment, especially when it’s with adrenalizing stuff such as logical puzzle mixed with something spooky! I’ve had attended to some other escape games but this one is the best I ever attended! Realistic atmosphere, unique gameplay and interesting story! Decorations and puzzle solutions are astonishing and made that game really awesome!

My team and I went here as a team building activity and it was fantastic! Not only was the atmosphere really great inside the escape room, Misha, the owner and «voice» during your time was amazing. He had such an excellent sense of humor and really made the whole experience.
I definitely recommend this place 100%! It’s one of the better rooms out there: D

A Ghost haunting a real recording studio… Awesome!!! I love helping ghosts and I love escape rooms… this is a win win.
This is a fun experience for all ages and especially for those that love the recording industry. The multiple rooms in this game are beautifully authentic. The puzzles are not those time consuming Sudoko style puzzles. There are not a bunch of laminated «clues» hidden in boxes. This is a fun, unique, immersive game. The sound effects are a wonderful addition to game play.
I recommend The Haunted Studio.
*This was my 84^th escape game.
