Went here when visiting Tempe last December. My boyfriend and I did The Inheritance. It was really fun and challenging, and we thought we'd accomplished a lot, but discovered after the game that we'd only made it halfway through the puzzle. lol I would definitely try this again and try another puzzle here, and I recommend this place to any couple looking for a fun indoor activity. read more

Only giving a 4 because I have definitely been in more extravagant escape rooms. This one, we went in and there was only one room. We did not unlock any other rooms after that. We do a lot of escape rooms so we normally sign up for the hardest ones. However, we only had 4 people while we were in town so we signed up for the only 4 person room. It was their beginner room. We still had to work together to solve but it was easy as it said. PERFECT for a first time group. Gets you used to the possibilities on what could be going on in a room. The room host was nice. Nothing to complain about. read more

The Ransom escape room was a fun experience! Mike was a great game host. My group took me for my birthday and I enjoyed every minute. Thanks for an awesome 59 minutes Mike! read more

We did an escape room with some friends and man it was hard! This company does a good job of setting up the room, giving hints, and and making it a generally fun experience. Check them out! read more

It was Colonel Mustard in the Ballroom with a Candlestick! ... Wrong game? Whoops. Instead, though the night we went to Escape Zone, we were hauled away to a Central American Jail after some issues with the authority. We had one hour to escape before the guards came back! The Jail Break room was a fun experience as a group of eight of us worked together to find & solve clue after clue. We were so close to failing but finished with a whole four SECONDS left! It was definitely close quarters but the room felt well thought out. It was exciting in the final few minutes to see everything come together! They currently have three rooms but are working on expanding. The Inheritance Room is made for six, Jail Break for eight, and the newest one, Rush Hour, is for four. Overall, a really great time for date night or for a group of friends. Some of the instructions given to us at the beginning were a bit ambiguous but we ended up figuring things out! After this experience, my only tip is to keep the clues organized and work together with everyone in your group! Can't wait to be back to try the other rooms. read more

We had super fun today :):) We choose the Jail one, and I could definitely see how they put efforts on it. We are definitely coming back for Rush Hour one! However, the traffic on University road is super crazy so make sure you arrive earlier. You might have to look around for the place cuz it is kinda hiding, so. read more

This was my first escape room and we loved it! We were in town for work for the weekend and I saw this online and the reviews looked great! Well, they didn't disappoint! We were only 2 in my group so we had only the runaway subway experience. We first met with a worker who explained everything and then we jumped right it. I can't tell you how fun it was! The guides are helpful if you get stuck and the clues are great. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a fun night out with the family, friends or even a cute date night! Can't wait to try again if I come back to Tempe! read more

My family and I were really looking forward to this event just coming together and doing something fun as a team. Unfortunately we have some elderly members in our party we were not aware of the steps when entering the facility or the steps walking up to the Island room. We called the owner to inform her that we were unaware of this and unfortunately some can't participate. The owner was extremely irate she informed me multiple times that a refund is not allowed per her policy, she informed me the website states not wheelchair accessible so i informed her they aren't in a wheelchair and this is compliant. She shouted at the top of her lungs the entire lobby heard the conversation i told her to lower her voice so i can hear her and she hung up in my face. I have never felt so disrespected while patronizing a business. However the host was nothing short of amazing she was very patient, understanding and transparent. She worked very well with those who could participate and gave them a great experience. Very ugly attitude from the owner no professionalism was shown to represent herself or her business. read more

Had a great first time escaping here! My group of 4 did The Attic and Pharaoh adventures. We were greeted and guided by Ariana. She was wonderful, informative, and made the experience all the more fun! The Attic had an awesome spooky vibe and a mild difficulty that was great to start the night. We finished that one and were offered a discount to do a second room. We chose the Pharaoh because we were having such a good time. The Pharaoh was a more complex series of rooms that challenged our group a bit more. The theming of both rooms was immersive and the puzzles flowed well into each other. Overall, a great experience and we will be visiting the Tempe location again, and trying out the Mesa location! We even broke a couple records! read more

Fun escape rooms and amazing staff! I completed the Pharoah escape room with my family. Our control master, Sussy, was super sweet and helpful! She gave us good explanations of what to expect before we got into the room. It was a great experience for people who have never completed an escape room before. read more

We played Rush Hour a 2-4 person game. As we have played many escape rooms we did escape (4 people). But it would be a fun outing for a couple or two couples to do while downtown Tempe. Nice job to the team there read more

This was our first ever escape room and we did the "Rush Hour" room. Overall, it was a great experience! Lots of fun and the staff was friendly during the entire experience inside the place. read more

We have been to a couple escape rooms but this was by far the BEST! The room was well put together, and the guy was great there! I would HIGHLY recommend! read more

The Zone Escape Rooms - We escaped the Jail Break room! - Escape Games Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

While in the middle of the escape room we could hear the employees dropping f bombs and talking badly about our group

We booked a private room for Rush Hour. The room was fun, well thought out, and not overloaded with key/lock combinations that some escape rooms tend to overdo. The room however was quite small and not well ventilated (only a few small fans). There were also several codes and boxes that you had to retrieve by getting on the ground. Didn't like that too much. I don't want to get on a dirty floor on my knees for several minutes trying to open locks. Not great for people with bad backs and knees. Will try another escape room here as the puzzles are well thought out. Hopefully the next room is better ventilated and doesn't have locks near the ground. read more

I've been to three other escape rooms in the valley and this one tops them all!! Super immersive with fun puzzles and completely themed out rooms. Very creative clue delivery and staff that you can tell really love their job. We had a great time, and got out in time! Barely. read more

The Zone Escape Rooms - Jail Break was such a fun time for experienced escapers and newbies alike!! - Escape Games Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

I've had two team events here now, and both were excellent. The escape rooms are entertaining and well made, and they have multiple rooms that are good for a team of 8. read more

Great place & fun staff. Awesome place for work team events, family parties or to challenge your closest friends. It was the first time to experience this type of activity and it was a lot of fun....surprisingly much more difficult than I expected, but I look forward to another try in a different room. read more

So cool! This location is kinda hard to find, even with the sign outside there's tons of staircases. This one is behind the huge trees and down into a basement almost. We walked in and no one was there to greet us or let us know how to check in. We saw a row of computers and assumed this was how you check in, but it's just a waiver to sign. We arrived 30 minutes early, like it had asked us too and we waited for almost 45 minutes before being helped, we'll past our time. Another group walked in after us, and they were helped first. I like that there are brain teasers in the waiting room and the AC was blasting. Once we were helped we were led back to our chosen room, I tripped walking into the hallway due to the uneven room, not being told to watch my step, and no signage stating there was a dip. I said out loud "wish I would've been told there was a dip" and the guy helping us said "sorry". We were able to start with any clues, the guy explained everything to us and then showed us a brief safety video. We beat our room which was awesome, and our "prizes" were some coupons to support the local business on Mill which we got to choose. Pretty cool place. We highly recommend escape rooms! Update 8/2/19: The business owner has reached out and I have responded, and thanked him for his response. read more

I went with my bf and it was just the two of trying to solve a "Hard" room (Pompeii), but luckily, we were able to get up to 4 hints to go through 4 areas. It may not have taken that many hints (or minutes, for that matter) for us to get out (with 37 seconds to spare) of the room within the time limit if there were more people (namely, my sister). The puzzles were awesome and made a lot of sense once you knew how they were solved. I loved that there was variety and not just figuring out numbers to a lock (there were plenty of those). I love puzzles that require physical cooperation too in order to get to the next level. My only complaint was that the set in one of the areas was completely falling apart and I spent half the time trying to straighten things up, but in order to really fix the set, I would have needed a hammer and some nails (which of course I would not have been allowed to do anyway). I hope they fix this area... it's hard to concentrate on puzzles when things are falling to the floor... read more

I reserved the Rush Hour room for 2 people on a weeknight. While I loved the idea of the room, the layout and how it appeared that the subway car is moving, I don't think the room was set up well. I've done countless of escape rooms and my friend and I both agreed this room just wasn't set up well. It was a great price but I would choose a different room. read more

2nd time at the location and had to do the other room which was rated "hard". Great team builder activity and we managed to escape with 10 mins left. Ideal for a groups of 8 maybe 10 people to add a little different vibe to your day/evening event. read more

My friends and I recently played the Wizard room. It was linear and medium difficulty. It was fun because im total HP fan and some parts were incorporated into the game. The staff were friendly and helpful. Some of the puzzle was challenging, which of course was the best part. I hope we get to do some more rooms soon! read more

I saw this place on the website of Escape Rooms Mesa, and since that place has been good 9/10 times, we decided to check it out. When we first arrived, the door was locked and we had to call the place so they could unlock the door. After entering the room, which we did the Pharaoh room, the room was extremely dark and thus hard to see things. Another escape room place fixed this by giving us flashlights. The room itself was very difficult, way more difficult than the "medium" difficulty the site advertises. Sometimes the locks just didn't work, even if we had the right combination. When doors would open, they wouldn't make a noise to indicate such, and they only unlocked and didn't actually open, so we couldn't tell we could open them. One of the solutions just didn't work the first couple times we did it. As for the puzzles, half the time there would be NO indication of what to do. We literally couldn't figure a whole puzzle out until our clue master had to tell us what to do, and even after we have no clue how anyone would've figured it out. After the room was over, which we failed of course, my sister asked how to solve one of the puzzles (which he literally had to tell us what the answer was) and our clue master DIDN'T REMEMBER (the puzzle itself took 15 minutes before we were told the answer. Overall, I did not have a fun experience with this room. Getting to last puzzle felt like a chore rather than something exciting. We will not be returning to this location. Escape Rooms Mesa is literally owned by the same company. I recommend you to go there instead. read more

Wanna have a cool time this summer? Wanna exercise your brain? This is the place to go. Fun puzzles. Fun with family and friends. Fun by yourself. The key word being...FUN!!!! read more

I was terrified to do an escape room. Always wanted to try one but when my boyfriend surprised me for a date night, I froze. Thinking of being locked in a room for 1 hour with other people I didn't know scared me to the core. But WOW, what fun! I like puzzles and a good mystery. We had four kids with us ages 10-14. There weren't very helpful and most slowed up down. I would recommend going with other adults. I think going with a group of people you know what be really fun. I would recommend this place to anyone. I'm ready to try another escape room! The decor of the place is nothing to write home about. Kinda looks like some high school or broke college kids slapped this place together. But once in the escape room itself it was very well done. read more

We had a great experience in the rush-hour room and Rachel was a great control master! Great room for 12 and 13 year olds with an adult

We did "the Attic" and had a lot of fun! Our game master Chris did an excellent job. He helped us out when we got stuck and pointed us in the right direction several times. Would definitely come again! read more

My boyfriend & I have completed all the Escape Rooms at Escape Zone! We reside in the West Valley & truly believe it is worth the drive to the East side of town. All the clues are well thought out & we enjoy the creativity of the rooms at Escape Zone. This is a perfect place for a date night, outing with friends or team bonding. read more

We did Jail Break. This was a fun one with a twist I haven't seen before in any other escape rooms that I've done. It was a blast to get together with friends and solve the puzzles. read more

Arianna was so fun and soooo funny, loved this experience and it is such a great bonding experience for friends!

This was first escape room experience and boy was I in for a treat. My two friends and I tried the pharaoh room. This was a little more difficult than we initially anticipated but James was a tremendous guide! We really enjoyed the creativity of the puzzles and had a really well paced interactive experience. Would highly recommend and hopefully you get lucky enough to have James as your escape room host ! read more

I wasn't sure what to expect, but I'd generally heard positive things about escape rooms. My fiance and I let my little brother and his wife plan our night out when we visited PHX for the Cactus League. The location was convenient and near many places for food & drink after our fun experience. I was surprised Escape Zone was relatively large, accommodating different rooms with different themes. Since this was a family affair, we chose the "family inheritance" room. The difficulty wasn't for beginners (!) since my brother and sister-in-law had already been to other escape room adventures. Nonetheless, we worked pretty well together -- even if we didn't successfully solve the case within the time limit. The room seem big enough for the four of us. We appreciated the "phone a clue" hotline when some clues didn't work as they were set up to be. In hindsight, we realized when we missed more subtle clues. Everything was very carefully thought out. read more

This place is incredibly fun. We have done 2 of the rooms and got out before the hour was up. Challenging but not too hard. Perfect for families or date night or friends night out. I have to praise this staff though. I cannot tell you how incredibly cool they are. I called the wrong place and realized my mistake last minute and Jake was so helpful and said he'd let me use the Groupon price I'd already paid for. I ran into other issues and Marissa really helped me get my family in at the time slot we wanted. The people who had that time slot called and cancelled and she took it upon herself to call me and let me know that the time slot we wanted was now available. You never really get customer service like that anymore so we were very pleased and can't wait to go back!! Thank you! read more
