A dynamic, entirely customized experience. We laughed, we screamed. You'll never be satisfied experiencing it just once.
The puzzles were engaging. Our gamemaster was a character. The Parlour will be an absolute delight regardless of your level of escape room experience.
The Puzzalarium is (sung in high voice) ahhhmazing. The work, care and ingenuity is astounding, to say the least. It was totally not weird or unsettling at all.
There was nothing like us anywhere else.
Team Building
Foster teamwork in your co-workers. Join the 15,000+ groups that learned firsthand why our escape room threats are just what you need to build a great team.
Vacation & Tourism
No cookie cutter attractions. Our escape rooms and games are hand-made, unique, and unplayable anywhere else. Our non-lethal attractions provide authentic fun and a survivable experience.
Schools & Education
Teach young students to question authority and each other. The Lava is perfect for classes and sports teams that deserve a treat/vacation/excuse to murder each other.
Gamers & Nerds
Designed by nerds, for nerds. The Lava is actually a huge board game where the pawns are your friends. The Parlour has in-game currency, power-ups, and hidden cutscenes. We <3 gamers.
Friends & Everyone
Do something better with your friends tonight; kill them in lava. Or help them escape a room. Give them absolutely no context. Just give them an address and tell them they'll love it.
Birthday Parties
Celebrate someone's achievement of not dying for a full year! With a party room for food and cake, we're one of the best birthday party venues for adults and kids in San Diego. We almost guarantee you won't celebrate your last birthday with us.
Family Outings
Don't go bowling. Dad is just going to win anyways like he always does. Instead, book a Puzzalarium immersion! Plus, it comes with a chance of getting younger siblings locked in a room forever at no extra charge!

Why Play At The Puzzalarium?
Because we actually care about our craft
The Puzzalarium is host to the Immersions and real-world games of San Diego. The first establishment of its kind in San Diego, we strive to tell stories through the experiences we offer, and also hardly kill anyone. You will not find our rooms anywhere else in the world, as we build them ourselves/harvest them from a proprietary inter-dimensional realm.
