There’s a reason why this part of the country is called the Valley of the Sun, few places in the US get more sun than this desert metropolis. But Phoenix and Glendale have a lot more to offer than just a nice tan, these closely related cities are a hotbed of culture, attractions, and some of the best escape rooms in the southwest. If visiting in the winter - something that is highly recommended - then consider catching a Cardinal’s football game at University of Phoenix Stadium. Or perhaps you might enjoy a family hike Papago Park? Whatever your interests may be, you’ve go to eat, and Chelsea’s Kitchen is an excellent option for any palette. Just be sure to save some room in the itinerary for some of the area’s best escape rooms - there’s a lot to experience, so don’t be surprised if you find yourself returning again and again.

Lure Arizona's bigfoot into your campsite to get photographic evidence of his existence! Will you survive the encounter if you succeed in baiting him???

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.

Help the resistance smuggle Sal, the cybernetic upgrade doctor, and his secret tech off planet before the corporate police arrive!

This was a great room.  Lots of different components rolled into one.  There was some clever use of tech and the puzzle flow was great. Scott was also VERY accommodating and it was nice to see how much this company prioritizes customer service.  Def one of my new favorites.

A gem of a room. Absolutely a must-play, my favorite game at this location, and the best superhero game I've played. Despite being on the easier side, it's justified for this game, which prioritizes humor and story over deep puzzling. Its rare humor can outweigh puzzles for me, but they nailed it here. Play it!

We have a problem. A BIG problem! A menacing robot at the Experiment Virtual Intelligence Laboratory (EVIL) is powering himself on. You have been recruited to break into the retro-futuristic lab and shut the robot down before he finishes charging and begins wreaking havoc. You have one hour. Good luck.

Fantastic puzzle room with a dash of cinematics, and the toughest room at this location. I highly recommend this for people who love a fun prop, a silly story and retro vibe. Not for newbies, bring your "A" game!

In “Diamond Quest,” you assume the role of esteem archaeologists embarking on a perilous journey into the depths of the Central American jungle, seeking the legendary Diamond of the Gods. Your destination: an abandoned mine, infamous for a mysterious and deadly explosion in 1987 that claimed the lives of many miners. Survivors of the disaster spoke of an ancient Aztec temple, uncovered just before the explosion, leading locals to believe that an ancient curse could be protecting the temple. Despite the dangers and superstitions, your team is determined to explore the sealed entrance and uncover its secrets.

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!

The fields have been dead for years… but the harvest never stopped.

Something ancient lives beneath the soil – something that feeds on blood instead of rain. Each year, it calls the desperate and the damned to its rotting farmland, where the crops don’t grow, and The Reaper stands watch.

They say the land is cursed. That those who trespass become part of the offering – their bodies twisted into husks, their souls bound to the earth. The wind carries whispers. The soil remembers. And the harvest is always hungry.

Step off the path, and the field will take you.

Closing November 14 - An ancient cult continues a ritual that was never meant to be completed.

An impossible book writes itself one soul at a time, its pages filling with the names of those consumed by the darkness. With every step, reality begins to unravel as shadows breathe, whispers grow louder, and something unseen watches from beyond the veil.

A great room with fun ambience. How they gave flashlights for people to use fit the room very well.  We opted to not have the Zombie jump scare, so it was definitely less spooky.  It had a good variety of puzzles.

Gilbert Escape Rooms - Cluemaster

Witching Hour

Somewhere in Phoenix's Museum of Natural History, there is a picture worth trillions. The crime of the century has been committed and only one team of spies can retrieve this piece of art and bring it back to the rightful owner. As uncovered through classified investigations, the museum curator, Victoria Belfry, has been found of suspicious activity related to the stolen piece of priceless art. The task will not be easy. Curator Belfry is very intelligent. She has a security system that no ordinary person has ever cracked before. She will stop at nothing to prevent a retrieval of the stolen painting.

We need your expert team of spies to break into her office and retrieve the painting. Do you have what it takes to retrieve the painting before Belfry returns?

Awesome spy experience that manages to nail the Museum and art heist aesthetic extremely well. I didn’t find any puzzles to be tedious, and I did find a lot of puzzles to be designed around multiple players. Looking forward to seeing Greatest Escape’s third room!

The Greatest Escape

Museum Of History: Heist

Welcome to Hawkins.  Can you save the world from the awful mistakes made by the Government backed scientific lab.

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.
