Puzzling Escape

Our escape rooms are immersive, interactive games in which a team of players explore their surroundings, find clues, crack codes, and race against the clock to solve puzzles and escape the room in less than 60 minutes. We are conveniently located next to the popular HUB Grill and Bar if you are looking to get dinner and drinks after your game.

Played Nora’s Nightmare yesterday and, it turned out, we were the first group to play the room since it officially opened. As enthusiasts (almost 200 rooms played), we’re always hesitant to try a brand new game as we’ve quickly learned it’s much better to give them some time (even after beta testing) to fine tune things and make sure it runs they way they intended. But since we were jonesing for a room, we decided to go for it. From the first point of contact, via FB messenger, their customer service was spot on. The owner (I’m so sorry I don’t remember her name) was friendly, very accommodating and responded to my inquiries quickly. As for the room, we enjoyed it quite a bit! I loved the unique theme and really liked the thought and details that were put into the aesthetics of the room. The puzzles are a good mix of lock & key as well as some tech so it should easily appeal to a variety of players. They are not overly difficult but they do still provide a good challenge and make you slow down to think. We are a two-person team and we finished with time to spare. Afterwards, we spent quite a bit of time talking shop with the owner. She was very personable and didn’t make us feel rushed or like she had something better to do. I know I already said it, but the customer service was on point with Puzzling Escape. As much as we love playing rooms, we also love talking with the owners and staff about the experience as well as about escape rooms in general. We really enjoy hearing about what went into the design and development of their rooms and just learning about how it all started for them. We can’t wait for their other rooms to open. Nora’s Nightmare is a fun time for anyone looking for something neat to do. Regardless of your level of experience, get out there and play this game. You’ll be glad you did.

We've been to several escape rooms and this blows them away by FAR! I love how immersive this experience was, plus the game masters were so friendly and helpful! Our whole group was not only able to help the whole time, but we NEEDED each person helping/searching/solving the whole time too. Plus the 12 year old and 14 year old in our group ended up solving more in this than the adults did! The 60 minutes flew by, & it was a blast! Super impressive, all of us can't wait to go again!

National Comedy Theatre (NCT)

Similar in style to "Whose Line is it Anyway," the National Comedy Theatre is a high octane comedy show featuring the Valley's best improv comedians performing a series of games and scenes all based on audience suggestions.The audience picks the games, helps us call the fouls, and ultimately decides which team of comedians is the evening's winner. And each 7:30pm Improv Comedy Show ALL AGES! (The 9:45pm Slightly* Uncensored Shows are... Slightly* Uncensored...) It's a fast, hysterical, unique and highly interactive show and the most spontaneous improv comedy experience in the Valley!

Jester'Z Improv Comedy

Phoenix Comedy, Comedy Classes, Corporate Entertainment | Jester'Z Improv Comedy is the best comedy show in Phoenix. Providing entertainment since 2001!

Reviewed By SLWS1 - Cypress, United States

Great show! Cool venue! Four performers and one MC do improvisational skits, games, contests, etc. Before and during the show the audience is asked for suggestions that get built into the show. The show is 2 hours long with an intermission after the first hour. I went with my college-age daughter and we both had a ball! There were all-ages from senior citizens to babies in the audience and everyone seemed to have a great time. $15 per person (not sure if there’s a different price for seniors or children). Great price for the entertainment value. We loved it and will definitely return. If you like the tv show Who’s Line is it Anyway, you’ll like a performance at Jester’z. Recommended!
