What I liked

One of the locations absolutely blew me away! (Won’t give it away) The whole time I’m thinking, How did they do that?? Close off the entire Boys Girls club They’re owning the streets from Yoshinoya to Gold’s Gym without a permit? What if we got stopped by a cop?? What if too many passers by asked us questions? Yeah, you got your jaded experts who do this kind of thing on the regular, but I’ve never participated in an immersive show experience like this, so it was awesome for me. I’m so impressed with the coordination involved and how we end up back with our original group in pieces…while OTHER showtimes are going on….CRAZY!

What I didn't like

I missed the sex and death and escape room which only means one thing: gotta do it again!

My overall impression

I was a few minutes late and pretty soon, it becomes dead clear why things must start on time…but the next group was perfect for me. I found myself hyper vigilant as I traversed through the streets of Hollywood (which are pretty shady on any given night anyway so Kudos to that kooky backdrop!) – this means they succeeded in making me FEEL something! I wasn’t sure who to talk to! Someone who you earlier thought was a bum, 20 min later turns out to be your tour guide! The commitment of all the actors is what makes it fun to observe and also get caught up in their drama! Keep your ears peeled for some enlightening messages of perseverance scattered throughout – one song serenading incident made me cry behind one of the famous bars.
