Brainy Actz Escape Rooms - Bakersfield

We went to Brainy Actz for a date night a couple weeks ago on a Friday night. It was before dinner that we went, which was thankfully not a busy time for them at all. We had booked the Ax throwing experience. We arrived for our reservation and i believe i had already paid online, so all we had to do was sign our liability waivers. After that, the employee gave us a little demo and went over all the safety guidelines and rules for the throwing area. There were 3 different size axes. They also had throwing knives. The room is set up with wooden targets with dividers in each area creating separate lanes. The floor had mulch to help absorb the shock so there wasn't as much bounce back when the axes dropped from the target area. We were able to set up our own music because there was no other ax throwing groups at the time, which made the experience extra fun. We threw to our hearts content and ended up really loving this experience. I know Brainy Actz has a lot of other fun activities to offer, so we will definitely be back to try more based on this experience. I highly recommend giving this a try! It makes for a great date night, girls or guys night out, or even a team bonding experience.

Our recent team building was here at Brainy Actz Escape Room and it was so fun. I was really bummed we didn't make it on the leader board. We solved our escape room in 51min! We were literally 5min shy of making it up there, so I definitely would like to beat that time in the future!Brainy Actz doesn't only do escape rooms, they have other cool stuff too!!! They have Axe throwing, Nerf gun war, they have a rage room and I'm sure they have other fun things to do too! I definitely look forward to coming back. Prices were reasonable and it was definitely worth the money.I didn't even know this place was in this area because it doesn't look like much from outside, but if you have never experienced an escape room then you need to try it. This was my 2nd time experiencing this and it was just as fun as the first time I have ever did it. The staff was super friendly and they made us feel welcomed and that is always a plus at any establishment!

I went with my son, eight year old grandson and adult daughter. We chose a murder/mystery one. The sets were nicely staged from the lobby to the escape rooms. The hosts are so helpful when you get stuck trying to figure out the clues. We all had so much fun finding clues and eventually solved the mystery. Woo hoo My grandson easily found some clues. A great experience overall. Will definitely go here again.

Decided to try this on a girls night out. Needed to let off some steam and throwing axes sounded like a great idea. We went at a not busy time and we had the whole place to ourselves. We walked in, were greeted by a gentleman that was friendly and educated us on everything. We signed our waiver and we were off to the knife/ax throwing area. We were given a safety lesson on how to throw, where to stand and what to watch out for. Then we were turned loose!!I hit my target on my second throw!! YES!!! But after that, I had a lot of misses. We change axe size, stance, the way we held it and finally got the hang of it. My friend was hitting her target almost every time after she found her perfected way. Watch out for her!! In the bullseye every time!'We tried knife throwing. That was fun but hard. So we went back to axes. It was fun!! Our time slot was an hour and it flew by quick!! So fun!!We had a great time and will definitely come back. Great way to burn off some steam and have a great time!!

Really enjoyed ourselves this evening. We had never done axe throwing prior to this evening. It was educational and challenging altogether. We were given clear instruction on how to do it and I think it was a great experience. I think this would be a fun activity to do again and I encourage anyone to give this place a try.

First of all... customer service is AMAZING!!!!! FROM booking our event to walking in and then the actual escape room... they are on their customer service. The guys (Zach & other guy) out front were super friendly and the guy on the phone, Kevin, was so kind in helping me book our impromptu activity. After dealing with over 100° degree weather, it's nice to come to an establishment with kind customer service. I appreciate you guys and thank you for accommodating us

Played the nerf room with a huge group of 13 people. I definitely don't recommend playing it with a ton of people because there simply isn't enough space to carry out a fun enough game. Definitely pay attention to their instructions cause if you don't listen well those guns are going to jam. I think the Nerf experience is better catered to a group of children instead. I did like how they tried to implement switches that would alter the environment. However they weren't always working which was unfortunate. The staff though was very commendable.

Best time ever!!! My girls took me for my birthday, and we demolished the rage room. Shy was an awesome host! I definitely will again and try some of the other activities

Great staff and room was so fun! The staff watched us in the room and when we were struggling asked if we needed a clue at the end he laughed with us as we told him my family should not do this alone next time

They fit us in last minute for the "Mystery at the Lost Point Lodge" escape room today. It was so well done and a beautiful room. Our male game master was seriously so nice and welcoming. We hope to stop by Bakersfield again in the future!
