Our Story

The Forsaken Archives began as a senior project at Escondido’s own John Paul the Great University, where three friends—Sebastian, Ben, and Andrew—merged their love for puzzles, storytelling, and immersive experiences. With only a small budget but driven by a shared passion for creating something extraordinary, they transformed their vision into reality.

What started as a modest project soon captured the hearts of escape room enthusiasts. As word spread, the Forsaken Archives grew, evolving into a premier escape room destination known for its intricate puzzles, rich narratives, and captivating atmospheres.

Each room we create is a labor of love, reflecting our commitment to providing an unparalleled adventure for all who enter. Our journey from college project to thriving business is a testament to our dedication and the incredible support from our community. We continue to innovate and expand, always aiming to push the boundaries of what an escape room can be.

Secrets await.
