Mogollon Monster: Scouting for Arizona's Bigfoot
  • Escape room
  • IRL

1st time visiting The Nemesis Club (TNC) and it lived up to the high expectations I read about. Entering through Soda Jerk and delivering the secret password, and then entering TNC through the hidden entrance was a fun experience. While in the waiting area for our game to start, we walked around and found some cool detailed decorations in the areas…the vibe told me that TNC was going to be great. We played Mogollon Monster, and immediately was immersed into the story with all the sound effects, the warning preparations from Ranger Nick, and how the game is started. I like doing physical skill puzzles so having this right off the bat was a fun surprise. The set being a campground was really well done and large. Be prepared to get a little dirty/sandy from the environment as the campground provides a real experience. Sets in all areas were great, and I especially enjoyed the outhouse and some surprises in there. Puzzles were really fun and for the most part straightforward. Loved being in the RV at the end doing several different tasks, especially when the monster arrives at camp and the RV turns into a simulator experience. Customer service and GM’ing was good, but nothing above and beyond, so a little disappointed with the lack of enthusiasm. Overall, MM had great sets, puzzles, and tech as everything was really well done. We had a really fun time and will be back to play their other games when we return to Arizona.

An excellent addition to Phoenix's growing list of top escape rooms. We love so much about this place, from the immersive decoration and detailed set design to the cooperative and creative puzzles and humourous clue giving system. Top room and excited to see what they bring next!

Another top TOP room with fun interactions, clever and out of the box puzzles and an interesting storyline that develops as you played. Plus, we got to eat delicious ice creams afterwards in the secret club! Definitely must play room!

This was a really cute and entertaining game. I liked how a lot of the puzzle mechanics were outside of the box and thematic to the robot theme. The animatronics were also super impressive. We lucked out on some of the more tricky puzzles and got them on our first try but I could see how it could be frustrating for less experienced escape room goers. Some of them are pretty hard to figure out what you need to do and include a lot of red herrings. In terms of accessibility you need at least 1 person who’s willing to climb around on the floor a little and there’s a little bit of smoke effects at one point if that’s something that will bother you. All in all, I enjoyed myself a lot. Solid 9/10 room.

This room was very immersive. There weren’t many locks or combinations- all the puzzles were oriented around physical arrangement of items or figuring things out. Story line was good and the props and room were great and extensive. Not too difficult, but overall a fun room!

This room was so well put together and cute. The guys who run this place obviously love what they do and they do it well. We had a blast in this room! The tiki setting was unique and the storyline was really fun.

Once again our GM was one of the owners, David, and it is so clear how passionate he is about escape rooms and the intentionality behind them. This is another fantastic room! What shone especially bright here was the electrical engineering. The puzzles had you interact with how to solve them in a variety of ways that went far beyond put a 4 digit code into a keypad and be done with it. Instead, there are elements of the room that interact wonderfully with each other. The room unfolds before you as you gain more and more that you can interact with, and each interaction feels unique and natural to the tasks at hand. Incredible experience that you should do today!

This is the second room we’ve done here, and we were so pleased. This room, like the previous one was so well themed, and every puzzle made sense and flowed from one to the next. We love this location and will be back to try the rest of their rooms.

A truly spectacular room. Fewer classic locks/keys and more unique puzzles. Several elements I've never seen before. Super immersive and well-done atmosphere. Our gamemaster, Riley, was fantastic! She was just as much into the debrief after as we were. Reading these reviews, I see a lot of people had trouble with the last puzzle, but we got it without much issue... avoiding spoilers, it's always a good idea to listen to a gamemaster's intro carefully.

Really enjoyed this and was surprised when we had so much time left. I wish there was more to do in the room for those that are experienced. Even though you are separated you are still close and can talk.

How Do Escape Rooms Work?

Remember those point-and-click adventure games where you’re locked in a room and have to solve puzzles to find the key and escape? Those online games were the original inspiration for the live escape rooms you’ll find all across the world today. An escape room is an immersive experience where you (and your team of 2 or more people) are locked in a room with a series of puzzles for 60 minutes. To escape and win the game, you have to look for clues, solve the puzzles, and find the key. While most escape rooms only give you 60 minutes to complete the challenge, others may have shorter or longer time limits. Many venues are private rooms where you and your team are the only players. However, some places may pair you with other groups who booked a slot at the same time. And don’t worry about getting stuck, asking for hints on a difficult puzzle is totally normal. While the original escape room (created by SCRAP in 2007) had a fairly simple aesthetic, today’s escape games often take you into a different world. Artistic set designs, secret doors, and unique interactive elements are all part of the fun. It’s like an adventure game that you can interact with in real life. But if you’re hoping to preview any rooms before you book a game somewhere, detailed images and videos can be hard to find. To keep the puzzles a secret and preserve the experience of seeing the room for the first time, most venues only offer a few photos or a short trailer about the room’s theme or narrative. The only way to know what it’s like is to go and try it for yourself!
