Mogollon Monster: Scouting for Arizona's BigfootThe Nemesis ClubEscape roomIRLThe hype is real! Worth a trip from anywhere. Amazing attention to detail that extends into the post- and pre-game experience.

The Curse of Fall Mountain - Haunted Great Outdoors Ch. IINorth Valley Escape RoomEscape roomIRLSet relies a little too heavily on off-the-shelf haunted house props, and we burned a bit of time on a prominent item that turned out to be a red herring. A fun room but not as strong as Intrepid Explorer or Arizona Steampunk Railroad.
Treasure IslandBrain Games Escape RoomEscape roomIRLLots to do, funny and original puzzles, and great set; the experience was marred by several mechanical and reset problems.
Twenty Ghosts of ChristmasBrain Games Escape RoomEscape roomIRLI enjoyed the dark humor of centering a Christmas game around death, but getting puzzles doled out one at a time got to be a little tedious after a while. Some of the puzzles felt more like chores, and many of the stories felt more saccharine than mordant.
Zoe: Reborn Krampus [prev. Krampus' Lair]Escapade GamesEscape roomIRLOther horror rooms I've done were more nuanced in terms of story and set design. Krampus is a pure adrenaline rush: creepy actor who can abduct you chases you through dark narrow spaces waving a taser (they wave a taser at you even in "no taser" mode).
The Fun HouseCross Roads Escape GamesEscape roomIRLWe had modest expectations for this gen-1 game, but it was a lot of fun--a bright and silly set, a theatrical and goofy NPC, solid puzzles, great sense of humor throughout.
The Last SupperQuest TavernEscape roomIRLOur live actor was a blast--funny and creepy and scary, and really good at improvising. I just wish we had been given more to do with him, a lot of the interaction felt like it was killing time because we were solving the puzzles pretty quickly.
The Bridge BetweenQuest TavernEscape roomIRLA lovely, happy set with lots of fun puzzles. The in-game hinting worked great and added to the atmosphere. But some of the mechanisms needed maintenance--a couple of the buttons were sticky, and there were stuck-on labels that indicated some of the hardware was fussy.
