Who it's for
Starting at Bixby Park, this outdoor escape game leads past the Long Beach LGBTQ Center, Crofton Manor Inn and Grace United Methodist Church, with a story drawn from Baum's 1900 Oz novel.

A little clarity before you go
Frequently asked questions
How long does this outdoor escape room take?
Plan on around 90 minutes. The route covers 2.4 km on foot with 11 stops, starting at Bixby Park, and that time includes walking, listening to the story and solving the puzzles. You can pause and continue later if you need a break.
Is this escape room good for kids?
It suits families with children who enjoy riddles and a story, since the puzzles are solved together as a team using clues around each stop. It is all outdoors and runs 2.4 km over about an hour and a half, so younger children may need help with puzzles and the walking.
Can three players play together?
Yes. The game is designed for friends to team up and outsmart the witch together, and one ticket covers your whole group. If you would rather go it alone, you can also play solo and compare your result on the leaderboard.
Where does it start, and do we need to book a time slot?
The game starts at Bixby Park in Long Beach. There is no time slot to book and no guide to meet: you start whenever you like on your phone, follow the clues from stop to stop, and can pause and pick up again later.
