Haven't done an Escape Room in years, but family in town so saw this one and made a reservation online. When we arrived Adam quickly got us into it and we just went straight into the room and the scenario. The room was very well decorated and designed - I really liked the feeling of the room and it fit the scenario that was described which is a big reason why we chose this one over some others. You're briefed on a tablet when you get into the room about rules and then the scenario itself and timer starts ticking. You also request hints off of the tablet so everything was pretty smooth off of that. For our scenario we got to the last puzzle and ultimately failed. Did think the last puzzle was not in the best condition so kind of threw us off if we were doing it correctly/scared to break anything. But my group really thought the puzzles were creative and challenging and not a walk in the park even with the hints. Loved the immersiveness and challenge of the room. Would come again. read more

Adam was amazing!!!! Super friendly, helpful and made the experience great! Had a little time before our flight back home and Adam got us in not 1 but 2 rooms to pass the time. read more

I've done more than 50 escape rooms, and Dynamic Escape Rooms' Continuum somehow managed to be the absolute worst experience of all of them. Honestly, calling some of these "puzzles" feels generous. Half the room felt less like a thoughtfully designed escape experience and more like someone dumped random junk into a dark room and hoped black lights would distract people from how unfinished everything was. The puzzle design was painfully inconsistent. Some clues were vague to the point of absurdity, others felt completely disconnected from the theme, and several moments came across less as "challenging" and more as "poorly conceptualized." There's a difference between clever and confusing. This room missed that line by a mile. The game master dynamic somehow made things worse. Instead of helping maintain immersion or guiding the experience smoothly, it felt awkward, disorganized, and disconnected from the actual gameplay. When you combine that with broken components and a room that was clearly not reset properly, the entire experience starts falling apart fast. At one point it genuinely felt like a quick trip to Ace Hardware and twenty bucks could improve the room dramatically. Loose props, worn-out mechanisms, cheap construction, and tech that either barely functioned or flat-out didn't work completely killed any sense of immersion. And the black lights... my goodness. If your room relies this heavily on black lights, maybe the actual puzzle design needs more work. It felt less like an escape room and more like a middle school laser tag arena trying to hide its flaws in the dark. There are escape rooms that challenge you. There are escape rooms that surprise you. And then there's Continuum, which mostly just tests your patience. Save your money, save your time, and literally go anywhere else. read more

We made a reservation for the 20th, but it ended up in their system for the 19th. We called and the owner told us there was nothing they could do. They were keeping our money and that was that. Absolute trash business. We checked online and the room we booked remained unused for hours before, during and after the time we booked. We've done close to 100 rooms and would never consider going to this place. I will actively warn everyone I know that goes to escape rooms to avoid as well We made a reservation for the 20th, but it ended up in their system for the 19th.

Adam was amazing and this escape room was pretty hard but super fun. Definitely would recommend.

Our family (2 adults and a 10 year old) did the Time Machine escape room and had a great time! Quality settings, fun puzzles. We would go again. This was probably our 6th escape room but first time at Dynamic Escape Rooms. We would return to try another. read more

Very fun and cool! The rooms have awesome technology to blow your mind lol. It's clean and well organized. BUT - Definitely do not pick the last slot of the night like we did... They will kind of rush through the background story and also rush you out the moment your times up. We literally almost reached the end (about one clue away from the end) and the worker came in and told us our time was up. That was the only negative part for me, because we've been to another escape room location where they gave us an extra 10 minutes just so we could complete the entirety of it. But it is also our fault for picking the last slot. Besides that it is a super fun time and will really get you thinking! Fun for a date night :) read more

This was Sooo Much fun. I had been to 3 Escape Rooms before ( 2 in Mississippi, 1 in Colorado. 2 of my guests had never experienced one. We really got worried when we hadn't found even the first clue after 20 minutes, but then things started clicking. We did get a few clues from our host but we made it out with 2 minutes to spare. read more

Fantastic escape rooms. We had an extensive day of 3 escape rooms planned and half way through the day we had a lull so we scheduled the secret gallery to be another additional room. It was so good that we left, got some water and came back immediately to do deja vu. Both rooms are difficult for sure, but the puzzles and high tech aspects were amazing. The clue system was novel and efficient. The game master was funny and charismatic. The finishing touches and themes in both rooms was top of the line. We've done 20+ escape rooms, most in Phoenix, some in San Diego and Las Vegas... I would put theirs in the top two if not the best. The greatest escape is the only other company that comes close, and I liked the difficulty level here better. read more

5 out of 5 stars. Was my first and soon second escape room experience. The set up was cool and fun and had a chance to solve it. We liked it so much we booked the sequel and went back 4 days later. read more

My first escape room was a lot of fun and a good way to celebrate my birthday with friends who didn't all know each other. Clever puzzles, helpful staff and a well designed room. I'd definitely do it again read more

I had a great time during our session of the escape room. I appreciated that we had private time and were not paired with strangers. Staff was friendly and they even nudge you along if you're stuck. Appreciated something to write on and tablet to monitor for time and clues, rather than a stationary TV in one spot. Can't wait to see what they come up with next. read more

A friend and I decided to try this place. It was my first time ever doing an escape room and I was NOT disappointed! They scaled it down for us since there were only two for our group and our only real hindrance was that we were too short for one of the puzzles. Otherwise, I'd give this place 5/5 stars all around. Cleanliness, creativity, customer service, experience, etc. It was all very smooth and definitely exciting. There were a few times in the rooms where I'd get scared and jump but that added to the fun (and also, I'm very easily scared). They explain everything very thoroughly and with actual drama when describing the scene before you start and you go into the game with a tablet to carry around in case you need hints or want to take notes. You're also given access to a locker for you to store you things if you need to and each locker has a private key so that you don't have to worry about anyone taking your stuff. I was very pleased and can't wait to try the second chapter! read more

The name says it ALL--dynamic! We have done MANY escape rooms over the years in multiple cities across America and hands down, Dynamic Escape Rooms is one of, if not the most exhilarating experience yet. We had the chance to do the Back2Back challenge (Deja Vu & The Secret Gallery) and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to have a phenomenal time. You may be shocked by the price, but it was totally worth the money! TRUST US! The rooms took great thought, research, intentionality, and engineering. Right when we thought we were almost going to escape--BAM--we were met with another exciting puzzle, environment, and scene. We finished both rooms with a few minutes to spare! 11 out of 10. Adam, the gentleman who hosted us, did a phenomenal job going into character and submerging us into the "world" of the room. Without giving any spoilers, let me just say: "it's bigger on the inside." read more

Our escape room host Cody (Spelling?) was so nice and patient with our group. We are a bunch of software engineers, so we, of course, wanted to direct how everything works, and Cody explained everything to us. We beat the room with 1 minute and 7 seconds to spare. Lol. read more

We went here on a rainy day while in town visiting our college kid. It was so fun! They were super helpful and we had a blast! It was not easy...it took all of our brain cells to get thru it, and some hints from the game runners. Would totally recommend doing this with a group, it was awesome! read more

My family and I did this escape room today on medium difficulty. The registration process was easy, there were many time slots available to choose from. I appreciated the option of signing waivers online prior to arrival to expedite the check in process. They were ready for us with the room prepared when we came in, so we were able to start right away. The room itself was great! The puzzles were all fantastic, just the right amount of difficulty. It was very non-linear so there were several different things going on at one time and everyone stayed busy throughout the whole game. The decor was perfect and we truly enjoyed each step of the game. This is the first game we have been in where they used an iPad system for clues. It was very handy and we could see quickly what out time remaining was without having to run into another room to check the time on the screen or look for a clue response. We sincerely look forward to the remaining rooms being open, and we will definitely return to do another level of the same game with different puzzles. read more

Amazing! A coworker and I came in after a long day of work and needed to escape the office. Her and I did were trapped in escape the gallery. It was her first time and I am an idiot but with Adam by our side giving us a few clues and tips we were able to escape. Adam was so kind and funny made us feel confident about our escape. The room was soo much fun definitely recommend for anyone looking for a fun activity. read more

I went to visit family in AZ, and we decided to go to an escape room. I'm glad we chose this place because it was TONS OF FUN! We successfully escaped two rooms (with seconds to spare). If you're looking for some challenging fun, this place has everything you need. Shout out to Cody for creating such a phenomenal experience! He has an amazing vibe and infectious smile read more

We came in a group of 6 to complete the Secret Gallery room. 4 out of 6 are escape room veterans (having done probably 80-100 rooms each). We barely escaped the room with several seconds left. Owners were very welcoming and nice. I had a good experience although I didn't love the room and I'll explain why. Production for a mom and pop place was very polished. Mechanics were well done and nothing was glitchy. The premise of the room was that we were breaking into a billionaires mansion and to gain access to his gallery where we had to recover the stones. I've probably done some version of this theme many times but I didn't feel like the tasks/puzzles were incorporated well into the theme. I felt that if I didn't have prior knowledge of/familiarity with doing some of these puzzles before, they would've been almost impossible. Even having seen some version of this puzzle in this past, we had to ask for clues from the get go. Many of the puzzles required multi steps that was hard to connect, there needs to be more subtle clues within these puzzles to help make that connection. It was a little too far fetched for my liking. There are puzzles that are difficult because they're extremely clever and novel. The puzzles here were difficult in the wrong way - it was very tedious. I would highly recommend beginners to do a different room. It would be better for a group with medium experience and a skip for traveling enthusiasts. I would definitely try another room at this location though. read more

We escaped !! And had more than a blast doing it . 5 star experience from the moment we arrived.

This was super fun but would not recommend for someone's first time doing an escape room. Wished we were briefed on the difficulty ahead of time but we do not regret going. We had a group of 10 and did not finish in the 60min allotted time. There was so much detail and history packed inside this game but almost to a downfall. Thanks for the experience you guys! read more

First time doing an escape room and I have to say, the experience was top notch! Thanks for showing my date and me a great time! Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to experience a new and exciting adventure!! read more

Adam is absolutely amazing! We booked this and then my daughters best friend was positive for COVID so we had to cancel. He honored our purchase when we were ready (which was quite a while later) ! The room was fun and the staff was so nice! I highly recommend them!! read more

Dynamic Escape Rooms - Our failure - Escape Games Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Cody was a great game host! We have done a lot of escape rooms and this is one of the best! We almost made it!

This place is AWESOME! Probably one of the best escapes rooms I've ever experienced. The games were sooo much fun and enjoyable. Also kudos to the staff- the customer service was like no other! Highly recommend. read more

THE BEST PRODUCTION VALUE!!! This place is top notch for props and production value. I've done over 50 escape rooms in AZ and Las Vegas and this place is definitely in the top ranks for props and atmosphere. Super immersive and just the right amount of challenging. The owners were super friendly and just made the experience that much better. I cant wait till they come out with chapter two!!! I will be first in line. Loved it!!! read more

Had an amazing time at this escape room! We had a large group of about 14 people altogether. 11 adults, 3 teens. When we arrived for check in, I failed to realize that I booked a room that splits our group into a multi team! Since this was most of our groups first time doing an escape room, we wanted to all stick together and work through the puzzles to escape together. Adam was able to work with us and accommodate our request! Since there was so much of us, he warned us that we would be pretty cramped in the small rooms but that was okay by us. Overall, we had a blast & we even made it out! read more

We did a company event on 12/28/2019 at 5pm. With only one out of five of us actual have done an escape room. We had very little to go off of. I would say for our first escape room experience, we all gave this place a 5/5. The owner's are great and if you ever get stuck, the clues that are given are fair. I would highly recommend Dynamic Escape Rooms for everyone. Defiantly will be a returning customer. read more

Was really cool would recommend many experiences to choose from great place to bring friends would recommend.

If you are an escape room fanatic, you will love Dynamic Escape Rooms! But if you are like me, and your friends drag you along to escape rooms and you would just as soon go to dinner, you must try this! You are not locked in, you're not trying to open a bunch of combination locks and the games are fascinating. They draw you into an incredible storyline and the reward of escaping (the medium hard) room was totally different than other escape places. We tried and failed miserably at the hardest level! My brain hurt afterwards but it was so fun to try. The rooms can all be set to different levels and that's a game changer. The owners are incredibly nice and helpful and really want you to succeed. Love this place! read more

I really think this is a great escape room. The owners did a great job designing the games and they have multiple levels of difficulty. The rooms are put together well and it's a really nice building. I think it's best to go with a group but they have all kinds of options for different group types. We really had a great time and I would encourage anyone to check it out. Keep up the great work guys! read more

I have done a lot of escape rooms now. Probably around 20+. We did both Deja Vu and The Secret Gallery in the bundle they have, which saved us a lot of money since we typically do 2 in a day anyway. That was already a plus. It was $32.5 per person (we had 2) per room. Total was around $130 for 2 people and 2 rooms/games. Great price. Without spoilers of course, Deja Vu is about time travel and The Secret Gallery is a museum. These are themes I don't see too often which is nice too. I liked that the puzzles were not linear and that it was not locks and keys the whole time. It was hard trying to figure out what puzzle we were supposed to be focusing on, but I like that it was not all linear. They use an iPad that you carry in the room that shows time and how you get your hints. You can't get hints until 10 minutes have passed. From there you get guided nudges if you want or you can opt to not have them. And you can get unlimited hints. I've seen new takes on puzzles I've seen before and some new puzzles too. They have two individual restrooms and they are very clean. Also they have lockers with keys so you don't have to worry about bringing stuff in. Also they have one of those pads you can write on and erase by pressing a button. Adam was our game master and he was great! Great costumer service and very nice. Also gave us helpful nudges and hints when needed! They are building a third room so I'd definitely come back to see that room! read more

We booked the Time Machine Part 1 room for our adult daughter's birthday. No one in our group had done an escape room before, so there was some anxiety. Adam, one of the owners, greeted us, explained the process which, put us at ease and he got us started. We were very impressed with the actual rooms and props and had lots of laughs trying to figure out the mystery. Lots of deductive reasoning was required. We solved the mystery just in the nick of time (with lots of hints). Our group enjoyed it so much and is looking forward to going again to solve the Time Machine Part 2. There are several mysteries to choose from. Go with a small group and enjoy! read more

CODY AND IGNACIO ARE THE BEST!!! coolest and sweetest people! my boyfriend and i had a six hour layover in phoenix and we decided to randomly do an escape room to kill time! we ended up doing two escape rooms back to back! IT WAS SUPER FUN AND AMAZING!! definitely coming back to visit when the rest of the chapters come out!! read more

Since my last review I have tried other escape rooms and this has left me even more impressed with Dynamic. Other rooms have left me swimming in an non ending ocean of locks simply decorated to fit the theme, but at Dynamic there is a complete and well-thought out story line resulting in each consecutive puzzle unveiling and delving deeper into the story. It really is an entirely different experience and I can't recommend them enough!! read more

I just visited Dynamic Escape Rooms for the second time and I was surprised how much I enjoyed it! My friends and I decided to play medium and we had a lot of fun and did pretty well. We decided to come back and play hard and it was a completely different experience! I was skeptical playing the same room twice but the challenges were unique enough my friends and I still had a ton of fun and we still took up almost the whole time! The puzzles were uniquely designed and I thought the rooms themselves looked pretty cool too. Definitely recommend for a good time! read more

What a refreshing and fun escape room experience! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and as a team have participated in over a dozen rooms in and around the valley and personally well over 20 in Arizona and other states. This place takes a spot in our top 5 rooms and top 3 places. The location was clean and the staff were attentive and friendly. After another room fell through at another location they took us in last minute and made us feel welcome and turned our whole evening around. Not your typical escape room! read more

I attended this escape room with a group of co-workers (eight female scientists) for a social/bonding outing. It should be noted before reading further that we used a Groupon to receive a significant discount on the experience, and were inevitably scammed for additional payment at the end of our evening. After successfully completing the puzzles and exiting the room, one of the Dynamic Escape Room employees pulled me aside, accused our group of breaking something in the room, and demanded an additional $60 from me. I explained that when we were using the item, it was already heavily worn and damaged, and I asked for more details on how this item was "broken" and needed that kind of money to be repaired. Another employee jumped in (interrupted me) to insult my intelligence and insist that we forcibly damaged the item beyond repair. He waved the item in front of us and I could see how there was something broken about the item - but it seemed to need one small plastic part, perhaps some tape, and possibly a soldering iron (definitely not $60 worth of work to repair). This is when another member of my group explained to these employees that we work with electrical machinery far more complicated than their item, when they interrupted her to remind us that we received a deal on this experience through Groupon, and that the item should really cost $120 to repair but that they were being nice to only demand $60... hmm... suspect. When we confronted them for scamming more money out of us since we bought a discounted Groupon, they threatened to call the police if we didn't hand over the $60. Time and time again, as we attempted to reason with them, they interrupted us, raised their voices, and became increasingly hostile. Needless to say, we paid the $60 and removed ourselves from the situation before it escalated even further. I have a few additional things to note: 1) An escape room is meant to be a hands-on experience in which you fiddle with objects in order to solve puzzles. For this reason, it should be on the business owners to replace damaged items, not the customers, since this is a cost that should be factored into their business plan. For example, if a customer drops a glass in a restaurant (a business in which customers are meant to handle the wares/media), the cost of the glass is not forced on the customer as a result. 2) As a female scientist in a field that is male-driven, I am no stranger to the feeling of my intelligence being questioned. With that said, I have NEVER felt so violated and disrespected as I did when I was a customer at this business. I cannot help but deduce that they assumed we wouldn't understand the true value of their item in which we "broke". 3) This was never about their broken item, it was about them trying to squeeze another $60 out of a group of customers that received a deal, likely because they are struggling to stay afloat as a business. Hmm... I wonder why. I would steer clear of this place particularly if you are a group of women, because they will try to take advantage of you and assume you don't understand technology or how to fix things. It is worth the extra money to go to a nicer escape room, there are plenty of good ones in the Phoenix area. read more
