utilizing three existing suites.

commercial building is 34 spaces with 61 spaces existing on the project site. Access to the
existing commercial building is off Vincent Moraga Drive as well as internal access from the
property to the west.
Escape Rooms Description
Escape Rooms are a family friendly, challenging, team building recreation activity where players
are placed in a room and have to use elements of the room to solve a series of puzzles and
escape within a set time limit. In addtion, individual rooms within the business are traditionally
themed such as pirate ships, jungle safaris, offices, and jail cells.
Escape Rooms Land Use Determination
The Director of Community Development has determined that escape rooms shall be
considered a sports and recreation facility that requries a conditional use permit within the
Community Commercial (CC) zoning district of the City of Temecula.
LEGAL NOTICING REQUIREMENTS

mailed to the property owners within the required 1,100 -foot radius.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed project has been
deemed to be categorically exempt from further environmental review (Section 15301, Class 1,

Brainy Actz Statement of Operations
Below we will provide a basic overview of Brainy Actz Inc. Including a summary of day to day
operations as well as what the actual service is like for the customer.
Brainy Actz is what is commonly referred to as an Escape Room experience. A group of people,
anywhere from 2-8 people, are put in a room and given a task that they must complete within
one hour. The rooms will be various themes and will be filled with various puzzles and riddles
that the group must work together in order to solve before the hour expires. Brainy Actz is
family friendly and avoids any themes or decorations that could potentially be distressing or
unsavory for clientele. This is an experience that is designed to appeal everyone (we have had
children as young as 6 and active adults up to their mid 70's take part in our rooms). Brainy Actz
encourages people to get off of their cell phones and interact with their friends, family,
colleagues, etc. It is a team building activity meant to get people thinking creatively and
problem solving; when customers complete our rooms, they feel a true sense of
accomplishment.
Day to day operations are simple. We will offer three experiences which operate once every
two hours from Noon-10:OOpm. Groups must make reservations and we do not accept "walk-
ins" so the only parking needed is the parking for 2 staff members and potentially two groups
on site at once (usually a maximum of 8 cars total). There is one staff member on hand for each
room to greet, instruct, and assist groups through their experience. Groups are usually on site
for a total of an hour and fifteen minutes to an hour and a half.
The customer experience is very straightforward. Reservations are made either through our
website or by calling or emailing us directly. Once they arrive, a host greets them and gives
them some basic rules and overview of what they will be doing (most people have never done
an Escape Room). They are then placed in the room and have one hour to accomplish their
goal; while in the room they are in contact with their host in case they need a hint or assistance
of any kind. After they successfully complete the room, or time expires, the host will offer any
input they request, usually wanting to know how to solve any clues they could not, and take a
group picture for them. This concludes their time and they are free to leave.
Brainy Actz strives to create the best experience possible. We take pride in creating our rooms
from scratch and crafting unique, challenging clues that are exclusive to our establishment.
With a commitment to design and overall look, Brainy Actz stands out as one of the best rated
Escape Rooms in Southern California; currently at 5 -stars overall with over 80 reviews on Yelp.
This is a unique activity that most people have yet to experience. A family friendly, challenging,
team building activity that is a perfect fit for the city of Temecula.
