| - Playing a board game or card game with friends is one thing. Participating in a murder mystery boxed game is another. But none of these compare to being in an Escape Room, where you and your friends are in a room and have 60 minutes to figure out how to get out. I have been to two prior escape rooms in Phoenix and Seattle, and the Riddle Escape Room puts more attention into their rooms to make them unique, challenging, and fun than most escape rooms.
It started when I saw an advertisement for the Riddle Escape Room with a discount code for ASU students and staff. I got a group of nine of us (though you could really have ten people) together this past weekend. We all made our own reservations on their website, and then we showed up 15 minutes early for paperwork and to get a helpful introduction to the experience.
The Riddle Escape Room has a fun-filled hallway where we waited for our full group to arrive from logic games, photos from past groups, and two restrooms (tip: go if you need before you start). There are four different rooms, each with different themes and levels of difficulty. If you need a clue, you can ask for one every ten minutes with no penalty. My friends and I went into Dr. Riddler's Lab. We solved it in 54 minutes and 20 seconds with less than six minutes to spare. Afterwards, you can take a group picture of everyone having triumphed or everyone despairing (though still having fun).
An Escape Room is a great team-builder for family members, friends, co-workers, or anyone else! I'd recommend of a group of 6-8 people, which may be easier to work with than only two people or a full group of ten people. Thanks to the Riddle Escape Room and of course, Corey, for a great evening!
