Black Market Escape Rooms

scam alert!!!!! this business is clearly a scam!!!! we paid $260 for 4 tickets to this escape room drove over 2 hours from san diego all to just get kicked out with 30 minutes on the clock. the host aka owner claimed we did $6,000 in damages (for accidently touching some breakers and a yoga mat inside of a tunnel) smh... he got so pissed at us wouldn't even let me talk covering up my voice and being very mean, condescending and aggressive. owner has no clue how to properly treat paying customers..keyword "paying". yeah buddy the 260 we paid is enough money for u to clean up ur props on the floor.. you make it sound like a inconvenience to clean up after us... like bro its a escape room with props and blood and fake dead body parts its part of your job to clean.. and the clock is ticking we need to hurry up to get out of there we can't be all neat when searching for keys in a room...wtf else r are we suppose to do with no guidance after the first room???.he literally took our money and talked down to us like we were stupid for not" following instructions". he called us incompetent and insulted us by scolding us . zero respect. we were so careful too even from the begining we followed text messsges instruction to sign the wavier, read email, listened to security guard and thought it was cool at first but since they couldnt break character(they had to be mean scary assholes the whole time which we knew ahead of time and were ok with it ) it was hard to determine when they were playing character versus being serious about the rules. we thought the slide show instructions meant don't touch the actors but apparently he claims there were certain things inside we wernt suppose to touch or do but it was so dark theres no way you could see everything.our killer was the clown he took me and another firend inside of a room and seperated us from my other two firends and yelled to us "get on ur knees !!!! and don't touch anything! "and slamed the door. we assumed this was part of the act(remember they can't break character) so we went against what he said to try and escape the room but the owner took it way to personal and deep and got pissed at us for not "following instructions " . it was so loud and dark there was no way we could differentiatebetween a prop and something we wernt suppose to touch. my firends in the other room were confused too.it was my birthday too its so dissapointing because i wanted to have fun but we didn't have fun after that . left bitter taste in my mouth and ended up having to call the cops on them. that is how bad it got and yeah i had to stand up for my friends for this injustice. he wanted to be petty well we showed him we can be petty too. if you read this far.. you have been warned. don't go. i didn't listen to the bad reviews before coming and i really should have took them seriously.

5 years ago I had the pleasure to do a Yelp Elite Event with Murder Co. I am happy they were able to survive through the pandemic! My family and I decided to do an escape room before one of the kids goes off to college. I am glad we got to experience the Maneater! The experience was pretty different and had my heart rate going! This is a great place for a group of friends or family to test your skills under pressure. There was definitely some laughs, screams, blood juice and pain. Thanks Mr.G for this awesome experience, you really put thoughts and time into this! I don't know what others are complaining about... Everyone was in character the moment you arrive. They are a little rough, but you do sign a waiver. You should know what you signed up for!Bring a towel for after the game, you will need to clean up some mess! One thing my group failed at was to be organized and pay attention to small details! I'll come back again and would love to try Pure Evil!

Great experience, we went there on halloween for what was essentially a taste of their full length escape rooms. Needless to say we will be back for more, great actors, great set pieces.

We did MurderCo last night and it was awesome! My group picked Maneater, we laughed, screamed, got scared and bloody. This is not family friendly entertainment, but a lot of fun with your BFFs. Make sure you bring extra clothes, totally worth it.

Ok if you're into escape rooms and you want to experience something totally different, like horror and on your toes.This place is it!I have done quite of few escape rooms but nothing like this. This was totally new and different.I drove from Orange to experience this place and it was not a disappointment at all. By far the best escape room I've ever done.You get there and give your names, and right away it begins.The staff is in performance mode as you go in. I was so thrown off because it was edgy but scary at the same time.The room where you're sat in with others, is exotic, eerie, and just something you would see from a movie.You pick the character you want to have. Note that they have several characters with different escapes.Once it begins, I promise you, it's a rush you feel and literally you're on the go. It's so realistic and the only thing I can say with out giving things always is that you have to watch your back and work together. Even if you don't know the other people you need to tag team. I screamed, cried and laughed through the entire time. Come in comfortable clothes that you'll be able to move, you might get stuff on your clothes. (Blood possibly )The only thing I will say at one point we all had to crawl on our knees.Every room, spot we were in, we prevailed there was so much going on. Just right when you take a breath and think you're almost done, you're not!So many things happened from start to finish and we did it! We made it out before our time run out. It helped that everyone was working together and be loud and clear of what we needed to do.This place I recommend if you're a fan of horror films and like to be scared.Beware that you will have to watch your back and think quick.In the end you have the biggest rush, and feel like a bad ass for finishing your escape room.You get to take pictures with the character you chose to play.Now that I explain and gave and understanding of what to expect.Without giving to much because it will ruin your experience, know you're in for a treat and will continue to be back.

Our group of friends came back to Murder Co. to do The Harvest: Rise of Apex. Once again, this crew is committed to their performance and the quality of experience for their patrons. We had an absolute blast. Pay absolutely no mind to the negative reviews. You'd have to be an idiot to have a bad time with ANY Murder Co. visit.Next, we're heading back to take a second round at Pure Evil. We only progressed a fraction of the way the first time around. Let's see how it goes now-- can't wait!

Best escape room in Upland, super intense. I really want to go back for more! You should go if you can handle the scares.

Came back this weekend for our 3rd visit and we were brave enough to pick Oblivion. Holy cow was he very intense and made us rethink life, YES! Did we have more fun than ever, YES! Thank you Black Market.

This was so much fun. We did their MurderCo experience, which they do around Halloween. It was more like interactive theater with puzzles than an escape room. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for something scary to do for their Halloween festivities.

Interesting you only mentioned the refund and not that you don't answer your phones and said "don't bother showing up". Fix your shit.
