Experience Machine: The Mind Suite Upland

We did the pirate theme rook, it was awesome! I recommend that if your failry new to escape rooms. We had a group of 6 which was a tad tight in one part of the room but it was def doable. We will happily be back, the game master was so great too!

Great experience! Wonderful props and great theme with the steampunk ship! Challenging but fair puzzles. The 4 of us are experienced escape roomers and we really enjoyed this one. Super fun twists! Lovely owner Alain! Highly recommend.

This place was awesome!! We did the El Capitan room, it had an entertaining story and was a really fun room overall. Special shoutout to Alain, he was a great game master - Super friendly and accommodating. He really made the experience for us!

Top Recommendation! A+ Experience: My family and I experienced two rooms in one evening, The Shack and The Amazing Argo. Both were solid, engaging and fun albeit different escape adventures. I ll begin by stating that we have been to many escape rooms and it is always a pleasure to encounter owners and GMs that are enthusiastic about their work. The Experience Machine provided both with owner, Andres, performer Rafael, and GM Hannah. All of them contributed to an exceptional time for my family...
Read full review and I. Top recommendation forThe Shack. This experience it truly unique because it provides the perfect blend of escape room components and immersive theater. It truly provides the ambiance, storyline and performance (a live actor assumes the role as an investigator) that immerses participants into the role of assistant investigators. So as not to give too much away, I will say that it was a creepy, engaging and intriguing room. Rafael, the live actor, playing Gabriel carries this experience as it is up to him to guide us to clues and information while maintaining solid immersion in the story. This is no easy task, but Rafael was excellent and his performance was top notch and on par with what one would expect from a regarded theatrical production. So to bring this element to an escape scenario with puzzles, clues etc elevates the experience to a new level of immersion giving guests the gift of deciding to keep it closer to a puzzle escape room or delving deeper bringing their own creativity to the experience. This is what makes The Shack stand out as one of our favorite escape rooms to date. My teenage daughters had such enthusiasm for this room leaving me with the thought that the creators are on to something special here and in hopes that there will be more to come. The Experience Machine also offers fun thematic experiences one can expect from a quality escape room establishment. The Amazing Argo did not disappoint. With a steampunk theme and setting, our puzzle solving skills were challenged. We will definitely return for their Pirate room as soon as we can. I highly recommend both rooms but I would say that The Shack should be a priority for those who are up for a bit of a change.

Hannah was a wonderful game master and the room was super fun! Highly recommend especially since I have done 80+ rooms and this one definitely stood out! And Hannah made the experience so much better!

So incredible. The most anticipation and anxiety in the most fun way I ve ever had. Happy to have been the last group in the Shacks first adaption! Actor was incredible, and the puzzles and story ROCKED.

Had an amazing time with our group!! Staff was very friendly and the rooms were cleverly designed. Awesome job with the puzzles

My first experience and IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!! We can tell we made Hannah (our game master) laugh, and thanks for some of the hints! I recommend this place for those who want to experience it first-timers!!

Incredible room with incredible set design and fun puzzles. Andres was extremely nice and gave a good balance of hints and letting us struggle on puzzles. Would absolutely go again!

Had a great time playing The Argo with our Game Master Hannah. Looking forward to their new location in Azusa!

Alain (I think that s how you spell) was a great host We did the steam punk theme Argo Awesome puzzle, worth the experience woo

My friends and I had a great time here for my friends birthday! I would highly recommend. Alain was a great host!

Hannah and Alain were great gamemasters! They made the experience super enjoyable. The room was also great quality with really interesting puzzles. Highly recommend checking them out!!!

This was such a great experience with my family! All the details and effort the owners put in really show in their escape rooms.

We did the El Capitan escape room. The puzzles were a little frustrating which I personally like because this was my 4th escape room. It was nice to have different types of puzzles than I was used to. High recommend!

We did The Lost Treasure of El Capitan room. It was a lot of fun. It was just two of us but still a lot of fun and not impossible. Excited to try their other rooms sometime soon!

Really great experience the escape room is well organized really makes u critically think probably one of the best escape rooms we have been to. The owner is very welcoming funny and knowledgeable on it all! Highly recommend this specific location

Very immersive. The decorations of the room were beautiful and very well made. The puzzles were a ton of fun and beginner friendly. The employee Hannah made it especially a great and unforgettable experience.

I really enjoyed this place. They were very friendly and we had a great time. We did the Argo and it was very challenging.

So much fun. If you are looking for more of a challenge try the Argo one. Alain was great and so fun. Thank you

Great place, very thematic, fun and creative puzzles! Loved Alain s vibe, way better than his brother Andreas (joking)

Andres did an amazing job guiding us and informing us about the rooms and the future rooms! Loved these rooms so much!

Such a fun escape room!! We definitely will be going back to try the other room and any future rooms! Alain was awesome and made the experience a great one! 10/10

Went to the Argo and it was awesome. Love the theme and the puzzles were fun

Loved the El Capitan room! Highly recommend!

This was truly a GREAT experience. My cousins and I did The Shack, and wow! The creativity behind this room was phenomenal. Raphael was an amazing Game Master, and the hospitality of Andres made the experience great. I highly recommend going to Experience Machine for your escape room experience, and I highly recommend trying The Shack! Thank you guys for such a fun experience!!

Great Fun. Excellent room set up

Great room with super fun challenges and super accommodating to our handicapped family member. Looking forward to doing more rooms soon. I would absolutely recommend it!

Fun experience in the Argo! Very helpful with hints and fun/nice staff to help navigate if you don t see the subtle shifts from the activations.

The Amazing Argo was a wonderful looking room with so many fun and inventive puzzles to solve! The owner is extremely personable and I can t wait to try their other (pirate-themed) room.
