Mogollon Monster: Scouting for Arizona's BigfootThe Nemesis ClubEscape roomIRLWe built a visit to The Nemesis Club into our family reunion, and with 20 of us, it proved to be an unforgettable highlight! They offer three distinct escape rooms: Evil Robot, The Henchmen Heist, and the Mogollon Monster. The adults in our group were wisely advised to try the Mogollon Monster, and we're so glad we did. It was an incredibly intense experience (perhaps too scary for young children!) and remarkably immersive. We genuinely felt like we were lost in a dense forest, surrounded by realistic trees and even dirt. The puzzles were both challenging and abundant, ensuring all six adults in our group were actively engaged and collaborating to solve different elements. The design quality is outstanding, clearly the work of a former Disney designer – the highlight being a moment where our 'trailer' actually rocked as the sasquatch approached our camp! It was absolutely thrilling. The younger members of our family had equally fantastic times: seven girls, aged 11 to 18, absolutely loved the Evil Robot room, while our six boys, ranging from 9 to 22, had a blast with The Henchmen Heist. The true testament to The Nemesis Club's appeal is that, even after a full week of diverse reunion activities, numerous family members singled out the escape rooms as their favorite part of the entire trip! A little secret: The Nemesis Club is accessed through a hidden door within the Soda Jerk Co soda shop. Be sure to treat yourselves to their shakes – they are enormous and genuinely the best we've ever had! As a Phoenix resident, I now tell everyone visiting the area that The Nemesis Club is the first thing they need to experience.
