The Puzzalarium

The Puzzalarium makes escape rooms, puzzle boxes, board games and card games, along with MegaGames and custom events. Its Parlour Nouveau card game blends deck-building, poker and immersive theater. The company began in October 2014 as an escape room in San Diego and also runs Game Diego, a board game convention held roughly twice a year.

Much of the work is one-off, so people with an unusual idea can ask by phone or email about a special project. A video game the company is developing is currently on hold while it builds enough interest to resume. Updates come through an occasional newsletter rather than a set schedule, and the company says it hopes to open a theme park one day.
