Shafted

The set and atmosphere was the best and most impressive of the 5 games we played at North Valley Escape Room. There was a variety of interesting interactions, more than I recall in their other games. Puzzles were generally fine, though some had issues. One required unreasonably precise placement (with no feedback), another we seemed to get skipped past for no reason. At one point in the game, we focused on a part of the set that seemed to lead to something we wanted, only to later learn that it was unintentional. We solved one puzzle but didn't realize that the input was not yet active, causing confusion over whether we had made a mistake or whether we needed to do something else first. One of my teammates had issues with the temperature - the ventilation in the room isn't great, and it got to the point where she was too warm and had trouble thinking straight. The rest of us were OK, but this may be something to keep in mind. Also, while it's great that we got lights and that they were nice and bright, they were also inconveniently heavy, bulky, and on a timer. Maybe it's historically accurate or something, but I found these aspects annoying for no benefit.

wow NVER!!

Great game and amazing addition to the lineup at North Valley Escape Room. Very immersive and one of the most unique games I’ve played.

Extremely fun! The puzzles are pretty difficult but my group of 4 was able to make it out in time! The creativity in the theming and storyline were really enjoyable!

THIS ROOM TOPS ALL. This room is suitable for any type of escape room player, from those looking for a challenge and who love to push their brains. To those who got forced to come with their friends and like to help here and there, but mostly like to experience the room, this one has it all.

This is by far one of the best rooms I’ve done. Done well over 150 rooms. Top tier room. Can’t wait to do more at this location.

This room, for lack of a better word, is unpolished. Nothing works like intended. We had to leave the room 2 times because they had to fix things which should have been already working, seeing as we already waited about 20 minutes past our reservation due to them having to fix previous issues from the group before us. Overall, a waste of time as well as money. There are so many better escape rooms in Phoenix, please, go to the Nemesis Club instead I promise it will be better.

Another step up from North Valley for this room - a lot of unique puzzles and fun theme, very immersive! Highly enjoyed it and look forward to all future rooms from this location!

Very, very immersive game, rivals Alcatraz as my favorite at North Valley. They definitely stepped it up a notch for this one. In my top 10 of all time out of 130 escape rooms.
