Testimonials

The puzzles are so clever, and Helen even puts the extra effort into creating a story to motivate the hunt and tie together the clues. I loved the fandom themed hunt that she put together for me and my friends — it really brought us together and we still talk about it to this day!

Red Herring Treasure Hunts puts together the best adventure puzzle - if you aren’t a fan of escape rooms (like me) this might be the solution! It was such a unique experience.

I’ve been lucky enough to participate in 3 treasure hunts by Red Herring. Each one was a completely different experience, perfectly tailored to the audience with a theme and difficulty level that fit the group. The clues were incredibly clever and it was exhilarating every time we figured something out! So much fun, highly recommend!

WHY US?

Escape rooms are great, but there’s nothing like the thrill of a fully tailored adventure that brings your neighborhood to life. We work closely with you to integrate meaningful moments into your adventures, whether that’s an office in-joke, a favorite book, or the place where you shared your first kiss. We’re passionate about creating exciting and challenging puzzles with something for everyone from the logic whiz to the lateral thinker, so every member of the team gets a chance to be the hero.

We’re also an independent, Los Angeles local, woman-owned company.

About Me

MY NAME IS Helen, and I write puzzles

I love designing adventures that bring the world around you to life. By transforming found items and everyday locations into elaborate mysteries, I hope to get everybody asking “what if”: What if this mural contains a hidden message? What if my local ice-cream store isn’t what it seems? What if I tap these bricks in just the right order…? In a good treasure hunt, the whole world lights up with possibilities.

My favorite moment of any treasure hunt is seeing the pride on someone’s face who thought they weren’t smart enough to contribute, and they’re the one to crack a puzzle for their team.
