Having played one of their online rooms, a Comedy of Terrors (get it?), we did a video interview with Wild Hare Escapes (J.R., Aaron, and Todd) to learn about their approach in creating fully digital online escape room experiences. Check it out below:
You can also check out their website for recurring promotions. They normally promote a discount with a puzzle that you have to solve, so check it out before you book.
Have you done any of the “rooms” with Wild Hare Escapes? What was your experience like? You can add your comments to this post.

Are there locations or rooms you’d like us to scout out?
Description (from the company website): Thirty years ago, the Richardsons moved into this house only to be driven away by pure evil. Upon putting boxes in the attic, the Richardsons’ daughter Evilyn, stumbled across a beautiful doll. In the weeks following their move into the new home, the family started being terrorized by a spirit trapped in the doll. But little Evilyn refused to be parted from it. Fed up, her parents decided to do away with the doll, but soon realized they had made a grave mistake.
One night the Richardsons went into their daughter’s room to say good night and found her dead at her vanity. In shock and – as they cradled the lifeless body of their daughter – they heard a distant voice whispering “I told you not to throw me away.” They ran from the house leaving everything behind and never returned.
You and your team will have to summon all your courage to rid the house of the evil that has held it for the last three decades. But the task won’t be easy. You need to find the spirit’s name to chase it from the house, but you have to work quick. When the spirit gets bored or thinks you may be getting too close to revealing its name, you may not be able to leave the house. You may join Evilyn and be trapped for the next 30 years. (ERG note: edited for case, grammar and punctuation).

OUR EXPERIENCE
This is the video we took before we entered the room:
This is the video we took just after we completed the room:
Note: The ERG were given the opportunity to try out this room for free, with the understanding that we would continue to provide an honest review and follow the same process we’ve used on all of our other ratings.
Logistics:
Description of the room: You start off in the Richardsons’ living room (tv, lamps, couch, coffee table, etc.) and have to make your way through a locked door to Evilyn’s room. That’s where it gets weird…
Understanding of the Mission: Figure out who the spirit really is and why she’s haunting the house. Then, of course, get out, unless you want to remain trapped for eternity with her.
Did We Escape: Yes
Time Remaining: 10 minutes even
Our Suggested Party Size: I would say 4-6 is fine. While 10 will by no means be cramped, some of you may get bored.
Did the room challenge the entire team? It was only me (Jason), so yeah.
Members of our team (other than the ERG): Just Jason. (I did not take a picture at this room. Totally forgot because I was talking with Greg for a while.)
Worth the time and money? Yes. Absolutely.
Where to Eat/Drink Before/After:
The Thai Restaurant – Little hole in the wall that was quiet and had good food.
Description (from the company website): This is exactly the kind of thing that your mother has always worried about – the kind of situation that you thought only happened on TV. This is the stuff of nightmares.
You’ve been lured into a serial killer’s apartment. In order to survive, you have to play by his rules.
The clock is ticking. You have exactly 60 minutes to escape his sick game before you become his next victim.
But hurry – he’s watching you.
Difficulty (1-10): 5/5 (Intensity 5/5)
Time Limit: 60 minutes
Cost: $25 – but use code ERG10 to save 10% off your booking
Identifier: R1
Party Size: Up to 10 (children under 15 MUST be accompanied by an adult)
Staging Area: Small waiting area with a few chairs and things to keep your hands busy.
Metro Access/Parking: This was my first time in California, so I just drove everywhere.

Logistics:
Description of the room: You’re in the serial killer’s apartment. There are 4 rooms (living room, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom) that you make your way through as the escape progresses. It’s dark (but there’s a flashlight to find) and damned creepy. (It’s also a damn decent sized apartment…)
Understanding of the Mission: Escape with your life so you don’t become his next victim.
Did We Escape: Yes
Time Remaining: 3:33
Our Suggested Party Size: 4-6
Did the room challenge the entire team? Considering it was only me, yes. But it was a helluva lot of fun.
Members of our team (other than the ERG): Just Jason.
Jason escaped with his life. And lost his appetite…
Worth the time and money? Absolutely
Where to Eat/Drink Before/After:
The Thai Restaurant – hole in the wall Thai restaurant that was chill and had good food.
As per the usual, whenever I travel anywhere (business or pleasure), I search around and see what (new) rooms are around. I reached out to 2 locations, both in Lancaster, CA, hoping to hear back from one of them, and just my luck, I heard back from both. Turns out, they have the same owners!
Anyway, while waiting to hear from them, I was trying to figure out which rooms I wanted to try (possibly on my own) and settled on Voices at Greatest Escape (owned by Twisted Exit) and The Apartment at Twisted Exit.
Greg was volunteered by his business partners as the one to be on camera. He was also my Game Master for Voices (Matt was the GM for The Apartment). In addition to being a good sport, he and his partners have set us up with a discount for all of you: 10% off your booking! Use code ERG10 when you’re booking online and tell them The Escape Room Guys sent you!
