Mogollon Monster: Scouting for Arizona's BigfootThe Nemesis ClubEscape roomIRLThis place knows how to build escape rooms down to even the smell. This was a fun story with great flow and fun interactive puzzles. One of the best in Arizona.
Sal's CyberneticsThe Immersive MachineEscape roomIRLThis is such a great escape room! You can feel the soul that the creators put into their room. The puzzles flow well together and you can have people working on multiple things at the same time so everyone is involved. Plus, crumbs is the best toaster out there.
Henchmen’s HeistThe Nemesis ClubEscape roomIRLNemesis Club ruins other escape rooms because they create a great environment, good story, excellent props, and fun to solve puzzles. This room is a silly, good time.
Return of the PharaohsParagon Escape GamesEscape roomIRLGood flow to the room. Great set design. Multiple puzzles to complete at the same time that lead you back together at the end. Wear closed toed shoes to avoid sand in your sandals!
Diamond QuestParanoia Quest - TempeEscape roomIRLMy favorite of the three at Paranoia Quest. It’s a fun theme. It is very straight forward with clear instructions for solving. But still fun.
Escape Plan: Lights OutParanoia Quest - TempeEscape roomIRLPretty easy room overall. Decent flow and interesting theming for the room.
SpellboundGreat Room Escape - TempeEscape roomIRLMy main issue with the room is how loud the ax throwing is next door. There are a lot of subtle clicks that you miss as people are hollering next to you. I think if the atmosphere was better and more immersive, this would have been a “love” room as the puzzles were fun and challenging and the theme was fun. Definitely could be spookier to fit the theme.
Recon: The Final HourParanoia Quest - TempeEscape roomIRLA little spooky, a couple of clunky puzzles and we accidentally triggered something early, but overall still fun.
Secrets Of The PharaohAlcatraz Escape Games - Phoenix ArizonaEscape roomIRLWatch out for the sand! It’s pretty slippery in there so be careful. But it was a pretty good pharaoh escape room over all. I’ve done better, I’ve done worse. Only problems are definitely a lack of light for one puzzle and the slippery sand.
