All our staff are vaccinated.

A: Race/LA is our company name. We create and produce interactive games and events throughout Southern California. Check our website here for details.
Q: Is this something scary?

Q: Can I purchase gift vouchers that can be used for any games?
A: Yes! Purchase here.
Q: Any tips or suggestions?
A: The surest way to escape is by sharing information openly with all players. Talk to each other and work together to solve puzzles. If you discover new information, be sure everyone in the room knows about it.
