Brain Games worked a number of different styles of reveals \u2013 both dramatic and subtle \u2013 into this experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re seeking deeper narrative or a more cohesive journey told through tasks, puzzles, and interactions, well, your princess is in another&#8230; tiki bar. <em>Treasure Island<\/em> has character and attitude, but it&#8217;s a classic puzzle-centric escape room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Located in San Pedro, Brain Games is a bit of a trek from many of the other Los Angeles escape room destinations, but it&#8217;s certainly worth it if this sounds like your cup of&#8230; island punch. <em>Treasure Island<\/em> is an enchanting addition to a strong escape room scene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who is this for?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Adventure seekers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Puzzle lovers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scenery snobs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Those looking for a laugh<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Players who don&#8217;t need to be a part of every puzzle<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Any experience level&#8230; the gamemaster support in itself is fun<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why play?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Funny gamemastering<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Engaging set-based interactions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Intricate and intriguing set design<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A variety of quality puzzles<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Story<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We were vacationing at a tropical island.

Each act felt distinct, but they were part of the same universe. They were incredibly detailed, and somewhat busy, but not in a distracting way. They were beautiful worlds to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2795&nbsp;<em>Treasure Island<\/em> was packed full of content. There was a lot to take in at once, but the first act had a mechanic to guide players and keep us from sinking in over our heads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2795 The many different puzzles required varied skills, including some exciting (and fair!) dexterity challenges. We also appreciated how one communication puzzle gave feedback to both people, in separate areas, working together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2796&nbsp;At one point in the middle of <em>Treasure Island<\/em>, we had two communication puzzles open at once. This led to our team of 5 shouting across each other, and across the same space, with 2 people solving one and 3 people solving the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2796&nbsp;We completed one segment with incomplete feedback. Looking back, we couldn&#8217;t confirm if we&#8217;d been bypassed, or some lights were out. We also weren&#8217;t entirely sure the rules of play here, so we might have approached the task more specifically than intended, unintentionally making it more challenging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2795 On multiple occasions, solutions were exciting moments. They revealed more information, or a new space, in an original way. If not that, then they sometimes revealed new scenic details, in a tiny but oh-so-apparent way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2795\/\u2796 We loved how the finale was punctuated through additional senses, but the visual moment was lacking. We wanted it to be bigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2795&nbsp;The hint system bantered with us, which was delightful. The game didn&#8217;t take itself too seriously, patronizing us, and even playing a practical joke on one player.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2795&nbsp;It was a tiki bar! We were encouraged to help ourselves to drinks (sodas), which added to the vibe. The gamemaster also played a crucial role in our tiki bar experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips For Visiting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>There was street parking available.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Update 9\/8\/24: If you want to hear more about <a href=\"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/2024\/09\/06\/%f0%9f%86%95-spoilers-club-treasure-island-preview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Treasure Island<\/a>, back us on Patreon at the \u201cSearch Win!\u201d level to get access to a <a href=\"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/2024\/09\/06\/%f0%9f%86%95-spoilers-club-treasure-island-preview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Spoilers Club<\/a> episode about this game.
