      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.”

      “This is hands down one of the best escape rooms I’ve ever done! It was so immersive from the minute you walk in the building and it continues the entire way through. The rooms were designed by a disney imagineer so just put that into perspective. It was mind blowing and I was thinking about the puzzles and how everything works the rest of the night. It was so much fun and I will for sure be back to try out the other 2!!”

      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.

      “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.”

      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!”

      In the quiet town of Silent Valley, a new law has twisted justice into a deadly race against time. While traveling through you find yourselves in the wrong place at the wrong time. Falsely imprisoned you find yourselves trapped in a brutal prison where there are no courts, no trials—only swift execution.

As they navigate the dangers of their desperate bid for freedom, they must confront whether they have what it takes to survive, or if their journey will end in a shocking and tragic demise.

      “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.”

      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!”

      “I’ve played over 100 games and this is on my top favorites! It was awesome to have an entire storyline and it was exciting the whole experience…the only thing I was not a fan of was that the rooms aren’t private, I hope they change that! Playing with strangers makes the experience a bit uncomfortable and it’s the only aspect that prevents me from doing all there rooms asap.”

Learn More About Phoenix Escape Rooms

Phoenix and Glendale have embraced the escape room community over the past few years, turning out some of the highest quality games in the region. Since the first escape rooms arrived in The Valley of the Sun, this oasis in the desert has fallen in love with these immersive experiences. In fact, greater Phoenix is now home to over 20 different escape room venues. Mad Hatter’s Tea Party at Eludesions Escape Rooms is a fantastical adventure suitable for all ages. Grim Stacks: Books & Binding at The Puzzle Effect seamlessly intertwines thought-provoking puzzles into its immersive theme and set design. Escape Westgate’s The Lost Tomb is a fresh take on the popular excavation motif. With dozens of escape games in the area, the possibilities are basically endless — you’ll find games with themes of horror, adventure, crime, espionage, and plenty you may not expect.

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!
