The Psych Ward Update

, , , , 0

A note from Co-Owner and Creative Director, Madison Rhoades:

Dear Cross Roads Fans, Escape Room Enthusiasts, and future guests,

I want to apologize for how long it has taken to open Psych Ward. I know this is something we promised you a year ago, but it will be worth the wait! The game has gone through a lot of changes, and we are so excited for what it has become.

We have gone through so many revisions of this game. We have been designing the Psych Ward for two years now and building it for one year. To play test the game we have created board game scenarios, acted it out like a game of Dungeons and Dragons, and have tried to think of every possible scenario and how it could be resolved. 

That is why we didn’t open as planned last year. We found a major flaw in the game design so we put a complete halt on our build. Designing it has been one of the hardest puzzles I have ever come across. We were determined to create something new that changed the industry. The Psych Ward is part escape room, part interactive theatre, and part strategy game. Finding the perfect mesh between all of those, adding a trust and betrayal element, making individualized experiences, and keeping it easy to understand is a very difficult puzzle… and probably why no one has done it yet.

I thought it would never end. But I am happy we paused when we did. I’m glad we took a deeper look into the game and found its flaws before we opened. The game we have for you now is so much greater than anything we could have imagined a year ago.

With all that being said, I am happy to announce that The Psych Ward is indeed happening. For real this time. Get ready for something new because Psych Ward opens October, 2018!

Here is all the info I can share with you right now:

The Psych Ward takes place in a 1970s insane asylum run by Dr. Griffin. It is a strategic game of trust and betrayal, so choose your teammates wisely! Are you familiar with the card game Werewolf, Mafia, or Donner Dinner Party? I would recommend brushing up on those to get your bluffing face at 100%.

The game will be private and is for 5-8 players. For the trust/ betrayal aspect to work, a minimum of 5 people is required for the game to function.

Because of the extreme psychological testing that will take place, it will be open for ages 16+ (no exceptions). The game is an hour long and is point based. The difficulty of the game depends on you and the cooperation of your teammates.

Official synopsis: Sane or Insane? Trust or Betray? These are the questions Dr. Griffin wants you to answer. He has created a social experiment for a select group of patients. Some of these patients he believes are sane. Others, completely insane. Like lab rats, he has put you inside his twisted experiment and challenges you to figure out who to trust and who to cross. But can Dr. Griffin even be trusted?

Thank you again for your patience. We look forward to showing you this crazy game!

Sincerely,
Madison Rhoades

Midsummer Scream

Midsummer Scream Reflections

, , , , , 0

Thank you to all who attended Midsummer Scream last weekend. This was the busiest and best year yet! All tickets for our Asylum mini-game were gone within the first 15 minutes the convention was open! Thank you so much for all your support and dedication to getting to the convention early to be some of the last groups to play our mini-game!

Myself and my husband, Luke, are the creators of Cross Roads Escape Games and the designers for all our games. We were working the booth all weekend, and I don’t know if people knew our level of involvement in Cross Roads, but it was so great to hear such positive feedback! So many people stopped by to express their love for Cross Roads and it was wonderful to meet so many fans.

During Midsummer Scream we were giving away special prizes for people who told our nurses a secret password that could be found on our social media pages. Those people would be admitted to The Psych Ward (our 3rd game, coming soon) with a special medical wristband that had secret strategic advice on it that would be helpful inside the game! There were 15 different strategies you could have been given.

Also, at our booth we had our exclusive 10-minute mini-game The Asylum, sign-ups to win 6 free tickets, a 5-minute table top mini escape room game, and prizes!

In previous years we would hand out flyers and ask, “Have you tried an escape room yet?” We would usually be met with a confused and concerned look as people waved away our flyers and kept walking. No one really knew what an escape room was, and they would quickly think the worst possible scenario and keep walking.

This year though, we had so much positive feedback! Many people we talked to have either already played an escape room, heard about them and always wanted to try, or have even played our games and were already big fans. It was surprising how many people already knew about our games without ever playing them themselves. Hopefully this convention will give them the reminder or push they need to make a booking!

The Asylum mini-game was a huge success, and we are sad to see it go. It is officially retired from Cross Roads Escape Games. We hope you were able to play it over the last few years. It was built to be a promotion for The Psych Ward, which is opening soon, so we decided it was time to try something new. Be on the lookout for a new mini-game next year!

Thank you again for attending the convention, we had a great time and I hope you did too! We are going to work hard to bring you something new, and we hope to see you there next year! If you were able to attend, please comment below with your thoughts on the convention- what you loved, or what we could have improve on. We always look forward to hearing from you!

Top 5 Fun Things to do in Orange County

, , , , , , , , , , 0

Orange County has much more to offer then just Disneyland and Knott’s Berry Farm. I have been craving adventure lately, but also didn’t have $100 to drop on amusement park tickets, so I began exploring. I found a lot of really great things to do in Orange County! If you are in the OC area, I highly recommend checking out these 5 adventures!

 

FLIGHT DECK

Suit up and get ready to fly your own jet! You and your friends get trained on how to fly a plane… for real. You each get your own fighter jet and a 40-minute experience to blow each other up and try to land your plane successfully.

What I loved most about this experience was how immersive it was. Everyone got their own pilot jumper, individual cockpit to sit in, and headset. The controls were much more different than what you would use for a video game, and although they were difficult to learn at first, I appreciated them keeping it as realistic as possible.

You get time to fly around and learn the controls and then you get to start shooting down your friends in an intense air battle! After completing the FOX 1 mission, you can come back and learn more intense maneuvers for FOX 2 and FOX 3.

Ages: 11 and up

GLOW ZONE HB

My husband and I went twice in one week! Our first time it was just the two of us, and we had a blast. Later that week we brought our 5-year-old nephew to join us! This place is great for all ages. Glow Zone HB is an indoor entertainment center complete with a full bar, cosmic blowing, arcade games, mini golf, bumper cars, and a few more stand out adventures listed below.

Are you a fan of ‘American Ninja Warrior’ TV show? Because this place has a Ninja course ready to wear you out! This course has some fun challenges straight from the show that my husband and I always wanted to try. The course is really difficult, but also extremely fun. It also gives you good motivation to go back to the gym…

After you are done being a Ninja, you can go test your secret agent skills at the laser maze. Weave your way through a room of lasers while racing the clock! A fun thing to do in teams and race for the best time.

We also really enjoyed the Bazooka Ball. It’s a good cross between paintball and laser tag and completely painless. You are split into two teams and you have to protect your home base while trying to score points on the opposing team. Let’s just say my 5-year-old nephew and my 29-year-old husband both kept wanted to go back to play again.

We highly recommend getting their unlimited pass and paying by the hour. They also have a lot of great deals if you go during the week! Prepare to go hard and be exhausted by the end of it all.

ALIEN DESCENT

Using wireless virtual reality technology these experience puts you in the center of the action for an intense and adrenalin filled 20 minutes of terror. The VR headset transports you to a new world where you can walk and interact with your surroundings and your friends! It’s an exciting and fun thrill ride enhanced by environmental effects, motion platforms, and other surprises!

You are part of an elite squad of Colonial Marines sent to investigate a distress signal from a Weyland-Yutani mining outpost. Just before losing contact, the facility reported some sort of infestation. It’s up to you and your squad to contain the threat, quarantine any survivors and get everyone off-world safely.

You truly feel like you are on a different planet trying to defend yourself against an outpour of Xenomorph aliens. I screamed the entire time while, lucky, my husband kept a level head. This experience was so much fun, we went and did it again the following week! If you are a fan of shooter video games and/or the Alien movies then you will LOVE this experience.

In downtown Disney you can find a similar experience- The Void, which is Star Wars themed!

MEDIEVAL TIMES

Dinner and a show! If you haven’t experienced Medieval times, you must. You are teleported back to an age without silverware and where knights jousted and battled for the love of a princess. I recently went with my whole family including my 7, 10, and 12 year old cousins. The girls loved seeing the horses dance and getting thrown a flower from a knight, while the boys loved the battles and falcon that flies just above your head.

The food is also great! A whole dinner is included in your ticket, along with my favorite Dragon’s Blood soup. Beer and wine are also available.

Medieval Times is a magical place that is fun for all ages!

CROSS ROADS ESCAPE GAMES

Cross Roads Escape Games was recently voted the #1 escape room in SoCal and #3 in the nation by USA TODAY! With 2 great games to choose from, there is something both adults and kids will love!

The Hex Room is an intense horror themed game for age 16+.  Each player will take a quiz before the game to find out which character they are: The Nerd, Virgin, Jock, Rebel, Prom Queen, or Detective. Your team will be divided up into separate rooms where you must work individually and as a team. Can you survive a horror film?

The Fun House is a silly and wacky game for teens and adults with a special KIDS version great for ages 13 and below. Step right up and see if you have what it takes to become a magnificent magician! In this room filled with trickery and illusions, you and your team will be put to the test. Work to beat the clock as you search for clues and solve mind boggling puzzles in a topsy turvy experience of a lifetime! Now all you need to do is ask yourself, do you have the wits of a magician? Or are as clueless as a clown?

What You Win If You Escape

, , , , , , , , , , , 0

Prizes! Everyone loves prizes! Did you know that Cross Roads Escape Games is one of the very few escape rooms that gives out prizes? Even if you don’t escape, every group leaves with something.

We are escape room enthusiasts too, and our favorite thing to do after an escape room is to sit down with our team and talk about it over some food and drinks. Next time you visit us, make sure to head to Top Class Pizza or Stereo Brewing afterwards!

Top Class Pizza, located at 1026 N Tustin Ave in Anaheim, is less than a mile away from Cross Roads and serves fresh gourmet pizzas, salads, sandwiches, and pasta. Their pizza crust is to die for and their Chicken Alfredo pizza is a Cross Road’s favorite! Just for playing a game at Cross Roads Escape Games, Top Class Pizza offers a 10% off coupon to all players OR a buy-one-get-one-free coupon to the few who manage to successfully escape!

Stereo Brewing, located at 950 S Via Rodeo in Placentia, is .7 miles away from Cross Roads and is the new hip brewery in town. Stereo Brewing has a great selection of beer on tap, fun music, and sometimes food trucks for when you want a bite to eat with your drink. Just for playing, guests receive a 15% off coupon for any beer on tap, OR if they escape they win a 25% off coupon for any beer on tap! Our current favorite is the ‘Wall of Sound’ Oatmeal Stout.

As you probably know, our escape rates are fairly low. On average, 40% of players escape The Fun House and 20% escape The Hex Room. The Hex Room also has an additional challenge to “survive” that only 5% are able to complete and escape. If you are a part of this 5% of survivors, then you also win a free “I survived” sticker! Wear it proud because you are one of the few!

I survived The Hex room prize

If you play The Fun House KIDS, our alternative kid version of The Fun House for children under the age of 13, there is a bonus challenge inside the game to collect 8 gold coins. If all 8 coins are found, kids get to pick a prize from our treasure chest! Our treasure chest is full of an assortment of toys that change all the time!

Now, this trophy is not free like the other prizes we have, but it is worth bragging about. If you manage to escape either of our games, you are qualified to purchase an “I escaped” t-shirt! We are very strict on our t-shirt sales and will only sell our “I escaped” shirts to those who actually escape. Yes, we have turned down many offers. T-shirts can be purchased in store for $20. We have both men’s crew neck and woman’s V-neck styles in sizes S-XXL.

I Escaped! t-shirts

We know our games are not easy, so that is why we believe everyone deserves a prize! Book your game with us and see what one you will leave with!

How We Got Started

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 0

Created by game enthusiasts, for game enthusiasts. Owners Luke and Madison Rhoades come from a theatre and haunt background and found escape rooms to be the perfect backbone for their #1 rated company- Cross Roads Escape Games. Celebrating their 2nd year in business, here is the story of the creators and designers of Cross Roads and how it all came to be.

ABOUT US

I graduated the University of Southern California with a B.A. in Fine Art and a Theatre minor. I designed and painted sets all around Los Angeles and was the lead scenic painter for The Queen Mary’s Dark Harbor for 3 wonderful years. Luke, my husband, graduated Vanguard University of Southern California with a B.A. in Theatre. He was working as the Master Carpenter at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in Hollywood.  I would often get set design jobs and hire Luke as my technical director and carpenter for almost all of my sets. We were a great tag team duo. I would design it, he would build it, and then I would paint it.

THE FIRST ESCAPE ROOM

On Oct. 31st 2014, we played our first escape room. We had no idea what we were getting into. I thought I bought tickets for a haunted house, so we were completely shocked when we found out that they were going to put us in a room with 8 other strangers and lock the door. Our group did absolutely terrible. It was chaos trying to get 10 people on the same page, but that was part of the fun. I remember the time being about half way up when I realized we have not opened a single key lock. I yelled at the group, “How have we not found a single key?!?!” The girl right next to me goes, “Oh! I found a few keys!” and starts to remove about 5-10 keys from her pocket that she decided to put there for safe keeping (and not use?).

Afterwards our game master comes in with a look of disappointment and tells us that we only made it about 60% of the way. It didn’t matter to us if we won or lost or how far we got, the experience was unlike anything we have ever done and we were hooked. The idea for The Hex Room came later that same night.

THE BEGINNING

We decided to take a chance. We quit our jobs and used all the savings we have worked 10 years to save up for our future house. It was one of those scenarios where we would always live a life of ‘what if’ if we didn’t give it a shot. And what better time to try and fail then when you are young? So we did. We found a location in Anaheim, California, battled the city for permits, and put ourselves in a hole of loans and credit card dept (we found out quickly the savings we had was not enough). With the help of some amazing family and friends, Cross Roads Escape Games opened one year later.

Cross Roads… get it? Luke and Madison Rhoades… ok good.

THE GOAL

We wanted to create something that felt so real, you forgot it was a game. Imagine being transported to a new world where you can go anywhere and touch anything you want? To desperately try to find clues to help unlock the secrets to your escape? All our games are designed by us and built from the ground up. Not only is the production value outstanding, even the game design is different.  As huge horror fans, we would always watch movies and say something along the lines of, “If that was me, I would have never run up the stairs!” or, “If I was in that situation, I would have totally survived.” Now with this new immersive theatre at our fingertips, we decided to create just that: a real-life horror movie scenario where people can find out if they would actually live or die in a horror film.

CREATING THE HEX ROOM

We love games. Board games, card games, video games, and now escape games. Once we were hooked on escape games we played every one that was available to us. Playing escape rooms was a great learning experience. We saw what we liked, and what we didn’t like. Our biggest issue was that no matter where we went, no matter what the “mission” was, the game was the same. We knew we had to change that up with ours.

Unlike traditional escape rooms, The Hex Room takes immersion to the next step and makes players live out a real-life horror movie. Before your game begins, each player takes a quiz to determine which stereotypical horror movie victim they are. You can be cast as the Jock, Rebel, Prom Queen, Virgin, Nerd, or Detective. Once in costume, players are place in a room by themselves. It is their goal to overcome their individual challenges and still work together as a team, although physically divided. If they are successful, they can rejoin their friends and work on escaping. If not, they can be left behind to die.

CREATING THE FUN HOUSE

The Hex Room became a revolutionary game, but maybe a bit too advanced for its time. When we opened, Escape Rooms were still such a new concept, only a handful of people knew what they were, even fewer played one before. People loved The Hex Room, but we were aware that it was a bit overwhelming to a new player, so we also created The Fun House.

The Fun House is the necessary introductory that people needed to escape rooms. People were together for the experience instead of divided at the start. If someone felt uncomfortable doing something “scary”, then we had The Fun House to offer instead. Although the game play is more of a traditional escape room, we still had a lot of new ideas to offer. The game became self aware with lots of fun tricks and jokes along the way, not to mention the amazing Zoltar. Have you met him yet?

THE FUTURE

We are determined to always bring the next level of interactive entertainment and have many more ideas up our sleeves. We are very excited for our 3rd full-length game, The Psych Ward, coming this year. It has been a long time in the making, but will be well worth it. The experience really shows our theatrical background with a lot of board game influence. The Psych Ward is not an escape room, it’s the future of immersive entertainment.
