Absolutely amazing experience! My group had a blast even though we were not able to finish all the puzzles. The staff is so nice and they honestly just want you to have fun. Obviously it is scary, but more so fun. I highly recommend this place if you love Halloween/spooky/scary/murderous stuff. 10/10 LOVED IT!!!!

Cant spoil anything- but man. what a great experience. from getting to the venue to leaving it is a wild ride- some of the best atmosphere building, unsettling puzzles, and hardworking staff and actors. one of the best escape rooms in the california.

Absolutely amazing!!! Did the Pure Evil version and it was so intense. The actors are amazing, and the owner was very cool. The puzzles can be challenging if you do not have many people, and especially when you are scared the whole time. I am a regular at scary events and this was by far the scariest, at least the version we did!

Came here with my girl as a surprise (party of 2) and it was a blast and an amazing experience! This escape room is hands down the best interactive and immersive I done and I have done many escape rooms before from Hi-Tech to basic ones. Even though we couldnt complete it (since she got scared all the time and couldnt focus) lol. Think of this like Universal Studios Horror Nights meets Escape room. There are live actors and the actors were fun and kept their characters..I was very impressed!We did this during covid times and the staff was all good by being safe keeping in masks and sanitized. I would highly recommend checking them out and will come back with a bigger group to beat it!Dont forget to try Oblivion ;)

The most immersive escape room we have done to date. So intense and heart racing great fun for all of us. We escaped with 3 minutes to spare. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great escape room expirience. Actors and staff were hilarious and great at staying in character the entire time. Looking forward to return with a new group of friends for the snake in the grass action.

Murder Co is amazing. I dont care that they are harvesting organs, this place is just so much fun! Thank you for existing.

This place is Awesome. If you want to feel like your really in a scary/Intense movie they do a phenomenal job. Trying to escape by finding clues to get out WHILE a Serial Killer is hunting you, this is the place. You have to experience this. It gets your adrenaline going for sure. Been twice, both times were great!

Hands down one of the best experience I’ve ever had. The actors are on point, the man who hosted us was extremely energetic and friendly. Shout out to murder co for giving me the experience of a life time

So our group just finished. Well we didn’t finish but we were close before our time ran out.Anyways, I can definitely say it was worth it. From start as soon as you enter and to finish. Everything from the directions, the set, and the actors. Speaking of which, the actors did an amazing job! Scared the Sh*t outta me that’s fersure. Can’t say to much, but I highly recommend going.

So I had booked this escape room for 6 people on Halloween night for 11:30 and the total for everyone was $418. Now it’s a normal price for a good escape room which it was. But I’m really disappointed because this room should be an 1:20min long. So we got there at 11:27 by the time We got in it was about 11:50-12. In the end we didn’t get to finish the escape room because the guy that was there said that he had to pull us out early because we took to long to get in. But when I finally got to my phone which was in a locker it was 12:31 which means that our time was cut short by 20 minutes and we weren’t told ahead of time nor were we refunded the only compensation was a 50% discount for the next time we come to do an escape room we already finished half way. On top of that we drove an hour each way for all that and it kinda ruined our Halloween. Honestly very disappointed and I don’t recommend.

This was our favorite escape room to date! We honestly feel spoiled now because we can’t imagine doing one that’s not as extreme as MurderCo Pure Evil was. It was intense! It was terrifying. It was fun. It was extreme! It was different than anything we’ve ever experienced! Even though we already did it we’re already talking about doing it again just for the experience! We loved it! If you’ve been thinking about it, do it!!!! It’s an experience like nothing else out there!!!

This place is not for the kind of heart brutal scary experience from beginning to end. Great place to bring your friends for a good scare. Also very safe and cautious with Covid

This was by far the best escape room I’ve experienced! (And I am not even good at them.) You don’t have to be a seasoned escape artist to enjoy this one. The production value alone is well worth the trip and money.MurderCo was filled with high quality sets, immersive atmosphere, talented scare actors, and challenging puzzles.Staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming.Very Covid safe! They even have recognitions for it.Totally recommend it for anyone itching to get a true horror experience this season or any other day of the year!Hail the Maneater!

Group of 4. We had so much fun. Went mid-day on a Friday and it was exciting and horror filled fun. Live actors were super cool and high energy. We beat it with only 7 seconds left. Not too expensive for a really cool experience. Definitely worth the money.

The Most Exciting Escape Room Experience Ive EVER Had! This Place Builds Fear From Start To Finish. Even The Lobby Was Creepy. I Dont Know What Their Regular Show Is Like But The Upgrade Was SUPER Intense. By The End Of The Show, I Had To Catch My Breath. The Actors Were Amazing And The Host Sets The Game Up Flawlessly. I HIGHLY Recommend This Place For Anyone That Enjoys The Feeling Of Their Heart Pounding With Fear And The Terror Of Not Knowing What Will Happen Next!

Awesome place its great fun. Ive been 3 times now with different people and its always a great time, everyone loves it (even those who were terrified of going in). Seems a little steep when looking at prices but it is more than worth the money it is truly a experience you will share with friends, loved ones, family, anyone and its one youll never forget... just remember:Im here to see the murder

This was my first ever Escape Room Ive ever been to and really loved the experience I had. The rooms where all exciting and hands on. The actors where awesome, they really made the experience great. We almost didnt make it out. When you go you have to go with a few friends to see there reaction. Im also going to take my coworkers next week. If your thinking about going to to an escape room this is definitely the place to go. Thank you for an awesome experience...

This place is freaking amazing! The immersion factory is off the charts. I had to second guess myself if it was actually real or not. This was phenomenal! If you like horror youll like this! Especially if you want to take it to the next level!

This place is crazy I can’t wait to come back again and do the hardcore also bring other friends so I can see how far they get. I would love to watch some of my friends go through this while I’m there seeing there reaction and what they will do in certain situations. This is a must come to for anyone that likes haunted houses or escape rooms it’s the best of both worlds! Good job guys thanks again !

For being the first escape room Ive been to, it was an incredible experience. I love the challenge and difficulty of the puzzles. The time pressure and the fear of someone trying to get you adds to the fear and enhances the experience overall.

Review №39

This was my FIRST escape room ever. Had no idea what my friends had gotten me into. I thought we were doing a scary maze thing, had no idea I would be challenged to escape a whole building in fear for my life.Actors were believable. I dont have much experience in this type of thing, it was challenging for our group. The production & SOUND blew us away.An awesome experience. Real life adrenaline rush. Highly recommend.

It was definitely crazy immersive from start to finish. The actors were on point and the scares were in your face. Only reason I take a star off was the price seemed a bit steep and the puzzles werent super spectacular. Still a solid experience overall.

We had so much fun and fright at the MurderCo escape room. From the very beginning it was such a unique and private experience. Our group worked together while on high alert and worrying about what was around each turn. They did a great job with this escape room. It was very well put together, realistic props and scenes. The entire time we were inside, we felt like we were fighting for our lives. GO CHECK IT OUT! Amazing!

I have done over 20 escape rooms in the LA area, and this is by far my favorite company! HANDS DOWN!!! Super immersive! And the interaction starts right at the beginning! And take my word for it! The 2nd time.... is the absolute best!! Can’t wait to do it a third time!

Review №59

This was only my second escape room and honestly it was so different and a ton of fun! Very different from the more typical escape room experiences. Black Market incorporates actors, sights, sounds, and an immersive experience that you likely wont find elsewhere.I would say a small group would find the puzzles to be of medium difficulty, not too easy but not frustratingly hard. After all, you want to advance into the other rooms and not stuck still trying to figure out your first puzzle.Overall, the attention to detail, the truly immersive experience with the actors, the fear factor, and the rush to solve puzzles makes this a spot you dont want to miss.Recommend 100%!

Review №65

Very, very mediocre experience. Late start time, audio issues from the first scene, long check in and waiver process with only one tablet for 7 people. You have to wait for the previous group to leave before entering the waiting area, where you do no waiting.The beginning of the experience had a person nearby within yelling distance, offering a very small amount of assistance. After that, no assistance is offered under any circumstances. So, if like our group, one clue is covered up by a previous clue, they will watch you do nothing for 20+ minutes on their cameras, and then end the experience.The team refused to listen to any feedback our group offered, in fact sarcastically dismissed it and refused to explain anything that was missed aside from one clue.For a big fan of the designers work at Knotts, the entire experience was very disappointing and certainly not worth $45 per person. On a positive note, the actor portraying our chosen murderer was very entertaining, and reacted well to the audio issues experienced in the opening scene. The actor who signed us in and let us out, however, was simply rude.Their refusal to move the experience along made this a mediocre haunt as well as a mediocre escape room. Certainly not worth the hour drive and $45/ person. Wanted to love it, but no such luck. Also the ending was very poorly executed. Sorry, no spoilers, just expect to spend 5+ minutes in a tiny room while they figure out how to reset...

The experience is fun and scary! They make everyone interact with the escape, whether its talking to one another or picking someone out of the group to crawl! So dont think you wont be left out of the scares! Definitely come back to the escape, if you dont make it out alive the first time.. if that makes any sense.

Be prepared to jump, scream and cower in a corner. But dont stay hiding to long or their gonna get Ya!My first time doing anything like this... it had my heart racing. It was so exciting every time we solved a clue. They keep you engaged and in the story every step of the way. A must do on your bucket list!

18 + This room has live actors and depicts nudity. Take a Knotts scare maze and have it mate with an escape room and youll end up with this. Definitely different, and worth the money if you dont mind adult content.
