Escapology Celebrates Grand Openings in Pasadena and Marina del Rey
LOS ANGELES, CA. (April 3, 2026) – Escapology, the #1 rated live escape room company, has opened two new Southern California locations in Pasadena and Marina del Rey, marking a significant expansion in the Los Angeles market.
The dual openings introduce Escapology’s immersive, story-driven escape room experiences to both Pasadena and Marina del Rey, while highlighting the brand’s commitment to community through partnerships with local Boys & Girls Clubs.
“We are thrilled to expand the Escapology experience in the Los Angeles market. Our games are all about teamwork, problem-solving, and unforgettable moments, and these new locations are the perfect homes for our next adventures,” said Burton Heiss, CEO of Escapology.
Headquartered in Orlando, Escapology has tapped into the popularity of escape rooms, which are now among the fastest growing entertainment venues in the United States. A decade ago, there were just two dozen in existence; today, there are about 2,000. “The escape room industry is improving the guest experience by becoming more professional and tech-focused,” Heiss said. “Escapology is constantly developing sophisticated new games and announcing new licensing deals to bring Batman, Scooby-Doo, Now You See Me and other popular names to our customers.”
Located at The Paseo along historic Colorado Boulevard, Escapology Pasadena joins a well-known open-air destination in the heart of Pasadena’s Civic Center district. The Marina del Rey location at Villa Marina Marketplace brings the same immersive experience to one of Los Angeles’ premier coastal shopping and dining destinations.

Escapology celebrated the grand openings of its Pasadena and Marina del Rey locations on April 1 and April 2 with ribbon cutting ceremonies in partnership with the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce and LAX Coastal Chamber of Commerce, respectively, welcoming local officials, community leaders, and guests.
As part of the celebrations, Escapology hosted youth from the Boys & Girls Club of Pasadena and Boys & Girls Club of Venice for complimentary escape room experiences, highlighting teamwork and problem-solving in a fun, interactive setting. The company also donated $3,000 to each organization in support of their missions and programming.
With the addition of its Pasadena and Marina del Rey locations, Escapology continues to grow its presence across Los Angeles, bringing a premier entertainment experience to both a historic city center and a coastal community.
By combining high-quality game design with meaningful community engagement, the brand is creating destinations where guests can connect, collaborate, and experience something truly unique.
