After finishing Hope End just last week, I was eager to try the Last Supper and compare 2 of the top live actor escape games in Southern California. I attended this one with a meetup group, since it would be too scary for the full capybara family. I considered bringing big bro, but after experiencing it myself, I was glad I didn’t! Without giving away too much, know that there are jump scares.
However, I will say the acting in this room is top notch. They do let you know that you will get what you put into it, and if you’re willing to participate, it makes for a fantastic experience. I will go into more details in my spoiler review on this particular subject.
The escape room portion of the experience was mostly “normal” in terms of challenge. A unique twist that they do here with this room, at least as far as I can tell, is that if you’re blazing through the puzzles, you actually get more live actor interactions. This is pretty genius in a way as it allows you to experience the full hour that you pay for, though people who like to go for speedruns might be disappointed. I’m more in the former camp and loved every minute of it. The puzzles are a mix of traditional locks and some cool tech.
Overall, I definitely do recommend The Last Supper as every run is unique to you and your group. Our Lord Garrick was great, and in general, all the staff at Quest Tavern is great. If you’re willing to interact with the live actor, run, don’t walk, to this escape room!

Spoiler Review
Please don’t read ahead if you haven’t experienced both Hope End and Last Supper! If you do, it’s your own fault, haha. I’ll try not to get super spoilery.
When I did Hope End, what stood out there was the cohesion of everything: the actor, the story, the puzzles all made sense. Everything you were doing adhered to the storyline, as well as every single puzzle! That is definitely a great feat.
At the Last Supper, the puzzles made much less sense in the grand scheme of things, with a few exceptions. There were random clues and directional locks that were obviously just there to be an escape game, though the portrait puzzle and the cauldron puzzle at the end were well-integrated with the story.
What really stands out here though is the acting and that part of the experience. They manage tension fantastically here, while also having plenty of humor. The conceit is that you have to move everything back to its place and hide your doings from Lord Garrick, so you’re always trying to move as quickly as possible while keeping the area “clean.” There’s even one part where you have to steal something from Lord Garrick, which definitely ramps up the tension factor!
I’ll also say the finale here is one of the best finales for an escape room that I’ve ever experienced. At Hope End, you kind of finish the last room and then talk a bit with the actor. Here, the actor is slamming at the door while you’re frantically trying to solve the last puzzle! It makes for a great story to tell afterwards, and an experience you won’t soon forget!
