Your uncle is missing and was last seen in the Andes Mountains on a mining expedition. You and your team find yourself in the Dragon’s Lair at Maze Rooms Los Angeles in search of the missing uncle.
I am a sucker for fantasy themed escape rooms and this one was a huge disappointment for me. Overall Maze Rooms Los Angeles dishes out average to above average escape rooms, however the Dragon’s Lair was a miss for me. It may be because this room is an older generation escape room, but even for it’s time there was not much to the experience. The rooms were decorated, but it was not done in a way that felt immersive. It literally felt like we were moving from one room in a warehouse building to another room versus what other escape rooms are like. The puzzles fit the theme and they tried to add little Easter eggs to appeal to nerd/gaming culture. Finally when you reach the end, the storyline never really takes off and leads to a flat finish.
The Dragon’s Lair tried really hard to provide a fantastical experience, but it just did not reach it for me personally.
