Arizona Shootout - Most Wanted

The first room we did with only two people (we still got out successfully!). A pretty standard escape room - nothing to write home about (either positive or negative). But in the middle of the experience, our GM kept giving us clues meant for another room (repeatedly telling us to use the prop we were holding, when we hadn't asked for a clue and didn't even have that prop in our room).

Not a special room, but we actually enjoyed it. For the most part, the puzzles made sense. The colored lock needs to be replaced with a regular one… but other than that when we got stumped it was from our own lack of attention to detail. Use of black light was minimal, which we appreciated. We had a good time!

Not Escapology’s best room at all. Didn’t flow smoothly. Some confusion and poor design for a few puzzles and red herrings that were too frustrating. There are better rooms to do. Skip this one

Escapology games suffer from being consistently mediocre. The scenery for a western setting was minimal. The puzzles loosely tie to the theme but are poorly designed. Red herrings in the room seem to be more like orphan props from puzzles that were abandoned from the game long ago. The room is very lock heavy, but the locks aren’t coordinated to the game. For example why have color-coded locks if irrelevant to the puzzle? (Not a spoiler.) I’ve played several games at this venue and other Escapology locations and just wonder why such a large chain can’t up their game. Disappointing.
