Mogollon Monster: Scouting for Arizona's Bigfoot

Mogollon Monster: Scouting for Arizona's Bigfoot

Immersion, atmosphere, scents, sound, this room has it all. My husband and I were visiting from out of town and it was fun doing a room based on local legends. On our drive down from Sedona we listened to a podcast on the Mogollon monster, so it was fun to play a game on the topic- but advanced knowledge is not needed! This game is forgiving and easy to enter, in that it is optimized for engagement and experience rather than bogging players down with rigid puzzles or tech malfunctions that impede progress. I can see this room thrives with 4+ people but my husband and I (with 50+ room experience) were able to complete it with the two of us (and an attentive game master 😄). Lastly, the atmosphere of the whole place is 10/10. We are from out of state but we definitely want to come back with friends for the other rooms.

Wow. Okay so I thought Nightfall was my favorite here, but it might be Phantom now 🙈 I don't know how all the game masters make me feel like they are my favorite. Devin destroyed this game as our game master! I couldn't have imagined it with anyone else. We came here after playing all the Orlando location games and wow are these a strong set of 3. Escape Ventures is our favorite company for sure!!

Wow. We loved this room. Completed it with my husband. I was surprised and impressed with how long it was! I thought we were going at a good pace and it still took us close to the full hour. Shadd was INCREDIBLE as our ranger. This room had the PERFECT blend of spooky without going into the realm of being a horror room. My heart was genuinely pounding at the end 😆 Some tough puzzles that felt SO good to crack. HIGHLY recommend. I think this one might be one of my new favorites!!!

My husband and I had a blast playing this game together for his birthday. The flow was great, and we both felt like we could contribute to solving the puzzles. Upon later reflection, we felt some parts could've been smoother (there were some parts of the gameplay that didn't feel fully satisfying), but honestly, we had so much fun that it didn't really bother us. This was our second room with this company (we also played Bank Heist), and we're definitely looking forward to trying out more of their rooms!

This was a BEAUTIFUL room. The puzzles were unique and varied. The room aesthetic was detailed and authentic without being distracting. Jessica was an AMAZING game master. She accommodated a special request for our group and provided a very dedicated experience. Not only did I have a blast in this room, but I was left feeling great from the whole experience from start to finish. Jessica puts a lot of care into every aspect of the customer experience, and it really shows.

My group attended Zoe as the crescendo to a full day of horror escape rooms that increased in intensity as the day went on. Zoe was nothing short of delightful (as far as a terrifying evil spirit horror escape room goes). This room to me felt like 70% horror/haunted house experience, with 30% escape room, and I loved that. My friend mentioned her friend has done this room maybe 10 times. He keeps coming back with different groups, and now I can see why- it's a whole experience, the energy of which changing with different groups dynamics. The owner did a great job of setting up the experience, so you knew what to expect, allowing yourself to just enjoy whatever happened. Anyway, I could go on, but either way this room was a great end to a great day. The people who work here are very passionate, and it shows.

While I enjoyed the decor and theme of the escape room, I was underwhelmed by the gameplay. The puzzles felt unnecessarily tedious, and a few of them required some leaps in logic that were hard to follow. Even when the direction was provided through a clue, there was no "aha!" moment for me. As a result, I left feeling a bit frustrated and tired, which is not the usual feeling I have after an escape room. Despite all this, I want to emphasize that the staff was friendly and helpful when we needed a clue. The owner who greeted us, was also very welcoming, and the lobby was comfortable and inviting. I still hope to give this place another shot because I love that they are local business who makes their own rooms, and they have come so highly recommended! I honestly think just a few small tweaks could turn this room into at least a thumbs up for me, but that wasn't my experience today.

Room had a delightful Christmas scent when we entered, and was nicely decorated. We made sure to watch the movie before we did this room, and it definitely contributed to the experience! As a party of two with a decent amount of escape room experience, we completed it fairly easily and quickly. I think a party of 3 might be okay too, but more than that would not give you enough to do. Room was fairly linear, and the connections between the puzzles wasn't always the most clear, but with that said, there wasn't really any part we got stumped on (other than when I couldn't get a lock open even though the code was correct 😂).
