The Mona Lisa
Mabel R.

Came on a Saturday for a 4:25PM in the Mona Lisa room to celebrate my husband's birthday with his family. We were a group of 7 adults. We felt that the room was very difficult but Josh & Avery were great hosts! Josh gave us clear instructions at the beginning and Avery was great at giving us hints (often). I didn't want us to fail so I had no shame in asking for a lot of hints and glad to know I could because there's no way we could have escaped without them. I also really like that the hints are given on a tv up on the wall. Loved the lazer lights at the end. Very Mission Impossible. Limbo anyone? We had so much fun. Can't wait to be back!

If you would like to test your family dynamics just do an escape room with them. While I have done escape rooms before this was my first time doing it with 2 teenagers. We selected the Lost City which is a 6/10 for difficulty and that seemed appropriate for our first time We had an absolute blast and the staff was very helpful. I was a bit clue happy and ran over a few times to push the button for the hints that the teenagers swore they didn't need. Overall we completed the room in time. I really love at the end when the staff comes in and shares with you some insider scoops. I would definitely try this again

One of the best escape rooms I've done, had so much fun with the 7 deadly sins and Batman escape rooms. Josh did a great job, he explained everything thoroughly and we will definitely be back to try the other rooms. Great activity for couples or group of friends for

Quality/Quantity - Introduced our guest to "Escape Rooms" and he had so much fun. Who Stole Mona - Easier than expected. But we chose an easy one as this was our guest's first time. But I was hoping for multiple rooms and it being a little harder. We had a good time, and more importantly, our guest did. Atmosphere - Cool location, good size. Good size lobby. Clean restrooms. 8 different themed rooms. Open 7 days a week, see my picture. Yelp's hours differ slightly. Plenty of mall parking. Service - Good. Simple friendly instructions. Helped us when needed (did not need much help). The website was very user friendly, so we booked online. Price - $130 for 4 people. Owner Comment - Congrats on your brand's success since 2014, and your location's success since 2023.

Had a lovely and amazing experience at Escapology! My two friends and I went here for the very first time this past Thursday and were very impressed and pleased with our experience. We were greeted by a friendly member at the host stand name Steven. He was very polite and patient with us since it was our first time there. We picked the Batman theme escape room and we loved it! Highly recommend this room to build teamwork and empower critical thinking skills. We then exited the room and was greeted by another friendly staff member name Josh. Josh helped us along the way with hints when we were struggling badly in the escape room. Both Josh and Steven made our experience amazing! Highly recommended going to the Escapology Tempe location! Thank you Steven and Josh, appreciate you guys! Will return here for sure!

I am one who can be picky about escape rooms and I am a HUGE fan of Inferno Escape Rooms. I've now…read moredone two rooms at their location and have had such positive experiences both times. The first room I did was "Santa's Workshop"-this is the most challenging room that they have. This room was the perfect balance of difficult and fun. The team at Inferno is really creative in their story building and puzzle development. This is a great option if you are looking for a fun holiday activity to do with friends or family. I recommend not doing this room with more than 4 people. The second room I did was "The Candy Shoppe". Our group ended up arriving to the room a bit late and the Inferno staff was so understanding and accommodating. They adjusted the room's puzzles to match the time we did have and were great at anticipating we we needed extra guidance. I can't wait to come back again-after your session is over, they even offer a discount for you to rebook again. I highly recommend checking this place out if you love to do escape rooms.

We have done two escape rooms here. One was for a date night and we did LIT which was so fun. If…read moreyou haven't done an escape room, it can really test your relationship :) It took lots of hints but it was still so much fun. They personalized our experience a bit with writing my husband's name on the mirror. I loved that! We bought the gift card/code deal and came back with our kids. We picked the candy shop and our girls LOVED it (9 and 7 yrs old). They were able to do the code on the locks but struggled with the puzzle aspect which was fine because mom and dad could help figure it out. We finished the puzzle and got a sweet treat which was such a surprised for all of us. They had the right amount of treats for each of us, which again felt so personalized. As we left, we popped in to see Santa's workshop and our kids begged us to come back (they're hoping they get another treat-lol). We bought the deal again so we can save some more money and bring the girls back for one of their birthdays. The hosts are so awesome too! They really know when to step in (without over stepping) depending on how you're doing with the puzzle/clue. Definitely a must do for couples and families!

I was pretty sure I was going to hate escape rooms. I like to skip the puzzles in video games, and…read moreI hate being trapped, constant noises, or kept on a strict time limit. Kinda seemed like escape rooms would be the worst thing on the planet for me. But a friend loves the cyberpunk-esque vibes, and I was going to swallow my hatred to try my first escape room here with the Immersive Machine. I leave the experience virtually speechless. (No spoilers here, so read away!) Why it was great for two people new to escape rooms: -You can book the place solo. You don't need to be partnered with strangers who are going to speed run the place. -There is no clock anywhere. Time flies (serously, wow, it went so fast), but you aren't feeling rushed. -I was worried about it, but there aren't any "HOLYSHIT GO FAST YOU'RE GONNA DIE" vibes like some of the "escape to live" ones I've been told about. There's an alarm going off when you first get there, but it's like, a casual alarm that just reminds you that it's going off every 5 minutes or so with a light "beep". Like a friendly alarm. Nothing in here is on a time limit, constantly flashing, or constantly making noise. Nothing is designed for a panic response. This was huge for me. -The gamemaster's involvement is fluid and very immersive in the universe (but they're not in the room), so if he sees you're struggling, he steps in, in-character, to gently guide you without making you feel stupid. -Puzzles make sense, but they're also just really fun. It was a lot more of paying attention to the room's details and exploring the space than trying to solve a Rubik's cube or a slide puzzle. There were a few moments that required some actual hard, focused thought, but most of it was trying to pull together details of the space and alternative universe you're in (that are all easily available if you look around again). -There is nothing to memorize or "called back" throughout the place. You don't need to remember something that was told to you 50 minutes ago or else you can't finish it; everything you need is always easily accessible, and all the puzzles are "solve it and move on". We started by taking tons of notes on our phones just in case, and we abandoned that quickly since it wasn't necessary. -You mostly stay in the same areas, so you can put down waters or drinks and take breaks as needed. It doesn't cut you off of any of the areas, so you don't have to stress about constantly moving. -We finished it, two person, in under the average time, despite never having done an escape room in our lives. Why it was great, overall, in general: -The "alternate universe" makes it a lot more fun. At one point, you'll get to see a calendar the team made, complete with holidays and other details specific to this universe that doesn't exist in ours. It's these small touches that made me super excited (and sad I couldn't just sit and read them). -The gamemaster (Randy, I think?)'s personality was absolutely amazing. He was super friendly, and getting into his character really made it easier for us to feel okay getting into them too. -I'm not super into LARPing or playing pretend, but if you wanted to, there are free costumes and the over-the-top vibe of the gamemaster makes you feel less silly about trying it for yourself. -There's a little personified "friend" that pretty much everyone is going to fall in love with. I now think I love escape rooms, but I'm not sure any other escape room will ever compare to The Immersive Machine. There's no way for me to go but down; there's no way any other escape room will be as good as Immersive Machine was. It entirely converted me, and now I think escape rooms are the coolest thing ever. I see why it has a straight 5 stars on every review platform AND wins annual awards from the escape room social network. This is amazing.

This was such a fun escape room! When you first arrive there's a lounge room to wait in, pick out…read moresome costumes if you want, and there's a mini "warm-up" puzzle. Then, they take you into the escape room where there's some cubbies to store your personal belongings. There is only one escape room here and it's called Sal's Cybernetics and is for 2-6 people. The theme was really immersive and there were some really cool puzzles to solve! The staff increases the difficultly based on the teams progress so we got the hard version and solved everything in 42 minutes.
