I took my daughter (13) and her friend (14). They both had a great time and would love to do it again. In fact, the friend wants to take her family too. We had a groupon so it was affordable for us to go. The clues were fun and some were challenging. Everyone worked well together. The zombie keeps you on guard. The chain gets longer every five minutes so be careful and don't get touched or your out! The nice thing is that even if you do get touched and are out, you can still help with the clues but you have to sit in the corner the rest of the game. There were 9 total ppl in our group. Of the nine, four made it all the way through the game without getting touched by the zombie. We completed the game in 45 minutes. The address is : 5047 E Elliot Rd Phoenix Afterwards we went for frozen yogurt. It was a nice day. Go see for yourself how much fun this is! read more

Act Room Escape - Challenge Courses Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Awesome fun night out. A group of 6 of us joined another small group of 4 and in we went not really knowing what to expect. It was hard!!! First they tell you the back story, doctor becomes zombie while working in a lab but before she transitions she locks herself in and leaves clues so that she could get out if cured. They tell you the stats, only 34% of groups get out of the room in the hour. You go in and the zombie is on a chain and if she touches you you are out and can participate by talking but not moving around. Room is crowded with the number of people and she has a long chain that keeps getting longer every 5 minutes. We worked our butts off from the minute we got in to when we escaped and yes, we escaped with 15 minutes left. Lots of clues to put together to figure out the combinations. It is fun, challenging and something I highly recommend for a night out. Wish the chain on the zombie stated a little shorter to give you a chance to get some going but guess that is what makes it so hard and why so few get out. They do take a picture at the end of your group with funny signs and it is a good time all around! read more

Absolutely horrific customer service!!!!! Terry is a terrible person!!! Escape this joke of a place we did! My mother spent time and energy collaborating with Terry in order to plan a birthday gathering for our family. We don't often all get together and so, we were very excited to meet up and have fun at this "escape room" experience. We were 15 minutes early and next to the Ahwatukee Children's Theater, as we were told to be, via our confirmation email. All 7 of us waited out in the 115° heat. And waited. And waited. Come to find out, Terry screwed up the reservation! And! We never received a single apology. Not.one.single.apology. My grandmother is 83 years old and she had to stand outside waiting. And waiting. For nothing. Nothing except some heat exhaustion and frustration. Absolutely ridiculous. Did I mention no apology? I highly recommend Escape the Room in down town Scottsdale, on Main Street...much better customer service and much more organization within that business than this place. Steer clear of here!!!!!! read more

It is what it is. A fun Sunday spent using our intellect to avoid being bitten by a zombie. My advice is to fill a group with your friends. We ended up with some young gigglers that took up space and were useless. The experience was fun. I mean, who doesn't want their ankles bit by a zombie? Not for children. Really. Maybe older teens with a parent. There are brains (hehe) required and teamwork. Don't go drunk or you won't get in. Get drunk after. read more

This room escape was very fun and very challenging. We had a larger group of 11 people and the room was quite small, but not too small. We had enough room to stay clear of the zombie and move around gathering clues. The clues to escape the room were challenging enough to take up the whole hour, even without the threat of the zombie. We escaped the room with under a minute to spare! Without giving anything away, the tips I would give you would be to keep organized notes. You will need them. Also keep track of all of the objects you find. Something that looks like useless junk will be invaluable later. A couple of things that prevents me from giving 5 stars: the room is uncomfortably hot. They do make an effort to cool it down with a fan, and you may be so wrapped up in the game that you don't notice. But we were sweating it out in there. The clues don't seem to have a sequence to them. I expected more of a "one discovery leads to another" type of game where the team all works on one piece of the puzzle at a time. Of course our group was not very organized and different people would always be scattered looking for different things, so that is partly our fault. I would recommend this room escape! It is fun and will challenge you. read more

This was the very first escape room our family tried. OMG so much fun!! Alot harder than I expected, But we escaped!!!

Soooo much fun. Took a a small group of 13 yr olds for my sons birthday- the clues were tough but that was part of the fun. The only issue was the women in a group that was added to our group- she admitted to doing a game there before. She had a better sense of how to solve the clues - after her third successful clue within the first 5-10 minutes I had to ask her to step back and let the kids have a go... I would have given the event 5 stars but I chose 4 because they should have a better system in place for mixing adults with kids. read more

Definitely fun and something new. I wouldn't say its for younger children because the riddles aren't exactly straightforward. The staff is fun and really into the production and our group enjoyed the experience! If you're looking for a cool challenge and are willing to suspend your disbelief this is definitely worth checking out. Get a group that is into riddles and puzzles and it really will be entertaining! read more

I have to say, I was really disappointed in this. I've done one other room escape here in town and thought it was pretty good, so I wanted to give this a try. First, the good: the staff was helpful. That's really about it. Now, the bad: 1) The location is completely hidden, and completely exacerbated by having different addresses on the tickets, the confirmation email, and on their website. In the parking lot, there's no signage or anything. 2) When we got into the room, I was SHOCKED at how small it was. We only had 7 people and it was next to impossible to move inside this room...and they take up to 12 people at a time. This also makes it really stupid when you're trying to dodge the "zombie". 3) This is very minor, but, we were told when we went in that the "zombie" would get you out if he touched your foot with his hand; so, my strategy was to just stay away from his hands. I was quite surprised to find out that he could touch me with his feet and get me "out" as well. 4) I had understood that the zombie would get an extra foot of chain per 5 minutes...well, after the first 15 minutes, the zombie had full range of the room...we were only surviving, simply put, because the zombie was being nice and having fun with us. 5) Their clues/riddles/puzzles are really, really bad. Like, god-awful bad. There needs to be at least SOME logic to the puzzle, but there was none of that here. I wish I could go into detail, but that would obviously ruin things, but, I'll make up an example: if you're trying to escape a room, it doesn't make any sense at all to do things like require you to count the number of ceiling tiles and electrical outlets in the room...but there was something very similar to that we encountered. There should be a logic and a flow to things, as the other room escapes do. 6) This was particularly bad. As we were completing tasks, one of the guys running the game was continually re-setting puzzles for the next game. This lead to members of our team stumbling upon a key or other new clue and trying it, only for the guys running it to say, "You already used that key." Gee, thanks! We just spent several minutes trying to use it.... 7) Two of the puzzles were essentially broken. It was pretty rough there. If these guys seriously want to run a good show, they should eliminate the zombie (or use a bigger room...and follow their rules on the chain), and they need to revamp their clues in a big way. read more

Ha ha i never had such enjoyible time. This guys doing great. Thank you. I am sure their strong team will build the room as they dreaming.

This was so much fun! What an intense, fun filled hour! Search for clues, work together, run from the zombie.....I don't want to give too much away but this is the most fun I've had in ages!! DO IT! I wouldn't say its great for little kids but perhaps those over age 10 or so, with an adult of course. read more
