A family has hired you to find their missing loved one. The last known address: the apartment of Ted Gein. You have 75 minutes to find the evidence — before he returns.
One of YouTube's biggest creators — 30M+ subscribers — came to Escape Room Era in Anaheim. He didn't make it out clean. Millions watched.

A family reaches out. Their loved one has been missing for weeks. The last known address leads here — the apartment of Ted Gein. You've been hired to find out what happened. You have 75 minutes before he comes back.
Inspired by the crimes of Ed Gein — the real-life killer whose farmhouse in Wisconsin became one of the most disturbing crime scenes in American history — The Hide puts you in the role of a private investigator. You're not a victim. You're the one who chose to walk in.
Every prop, every detail, every smell is intentional. Thinkers will love the layered puzzle design. Horror fans will never forget the moments in between.

The Hide is rated 5/5 for fear — the maximum intensity at Escape Room Era and one of the most intense escape rooms in Orange County. It features genuine jump scares, graphic horror imagery, intense psychological tension, and professional horror set design. Not recommended for guests with heart conditions, severe anxiety, or claustrophobia. Minimum recommended age is 13.
The Hide may feature actors as part of the experience. However, there is zero physical contact from actors at any point. The horror is delivered through the environment, sound design, lighting, and scripted scare moments — not through touching or grabbing.

The Hide accommodates 4 to 7 players per session. The investigation is designed for a team — the puzzles and scare moments are built around group dynamics. Smaller groups (2–3) can still book but should expect a more intense, less-buffered experience.
The Hide is rated 3/5 for puzzle difficulty — moderate. The focus is on horror atmosphere and storytelling as much as puzzle-solving. You won't be stuck on logic gates — you'll be too busy trying to keep your nerve.

Anaheim's most intense escape room. Weekends typically sell out — reserve your slot in advance.
