I am one who can be picky about escape rooms and I am a HUGE fan of Inferno Escape Rooms. I've now done 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. read more

Awesome experience for our first escape room. Candy one is perfect for kids and not too difficult. Grace, the game master was awesome too.

We had so much fun with the first escape room that we had to do another in the same session! What a great experience all the way from when we entered the door to leaving it was all flawless. Very nice staff and the puzzles were great. We will come back to do the rest of the rooms Forsure. read more

We have done two escape rooms here. One was for a date night and we did LIT which was so fun. If you 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! read more

This room was actually a last minute decision for us. We were going to go to another place, but for time's sake we chose this one. The other reason why we quickly grabbed our wallets out is because Date Night Disaster room's description said you would get hand cuffed together after being kidnapped. This was super new for what we were used to in escape rooms. This was also for my boyfriend's birthday, and the company had the option to hide something in the room for a special occasion. Super cute! Needless to say, we had a blast trying to maneuver around the room chained to someone else. Our height difference made it funny. We escaped with some hints with 4 seconds to spare! We will be back for the room Lit. Best escape room company ever. read more

The Lit room was LIT! This was a unique room with a theme we haven't encountered before. Puzzles were themed well and structured in a fun way. We definitely needed a few clues, but we escaped with plenty of time to spare! Always fun to do a party-themed room during COVID when you can't actually party like this. Brings back (good? bad?) memories. ;) read more

Santas workshop was so fun ! I had my 9 year old and we didn't quite finish the two of us but had so much fun and friendly staff ; Stephanie owner was very nice and clues were good highly recommend read more

Happy Birthday Keely!!! This was our first time ever coming to one of these places, and it was such a great time!!! We did LIT, it made everyone work together and figure out clues and codes as a family. I would highly recommend it! Stone was absolutely amazing and we will be back and will also try other rooms across the valley. Not much to do during COVID and this was perfect read more

We will def be back!! We want to do LIT next! Great way to end our date Update... LIT room was even better!! We beat it as well. That room u really suppose to have 3 or more to do so but our brainpower we beat the odds!!! Can't wait to see what your new set ups are.. read more

AMAZING! Detailed and so so so fun. The puzzles were great and I found that my 10-year-old daughter was better at it than I!

When the Arizona weather didn't quite live up to expectations this week for our getaway, we had to improvise and find some indoor activities. The Candy Shoppe escape room at Inferno was great fun for our family of two adults and two teens - our first escape ever - and we succeeded with minutes to spare with just enough assistance from game master John. Would highly recommend! read more

While booking a party for a Saturday escape room event on the Inferno website. The website changed the date to the day it was being booked from the Saturday that it was planned. The Inferno called to advise the scheduled time was missed and they would be keeping the $30 deposit. When talking with the employee. They said that it may have been a mistake but they would not refund the deposit. They would rather keep the $30 deposit than the $200 we were spending for the event. That makes a lot of sense... Terrible customer service and zero common sense. read more

Walked in super excited to start our game for Santa's workshop. My husband had smoked a cigarettes prior to entering the facility. We were greeted and then asked if we had smoked. Now I had read the website and it spoke of not smoking marijuana or having alcohol nothing about cigarettes whatsoever. We were told we had to air out and only then we're we allowed to come back. That is 100% discrimination, nothing told me I couldn't smoke a cigarettes prior and the answer was "it is what it is" either do it or we can't come back. I will NEVER come back here again. I really also like the fact that they were eating over their computer screens and apparently customers aren't wanted here. Nice we will take our money elsewhere and I will make sure to let everyone know not to come here. read more

This escape room was so cool! We did the one with the professor or something and we needed to figure out his longevity secret. Super fun! My husbands first escape room and he really enjoyed it. The puzzles were so good, a little complicated so the owner/front desk helped us out a lot and were keeping an eye on us so we weren't led astray or stuck for too long which I really appreciated. I loved how they delivered their messages too - very cool addition. And we were allowed to do it with just the two of us! Highly recommend. read more

So good! We reserved a room for a buddy's bachelor party, and it was fantastic. We were in the room within minutes of arriving (the "Lit" party-themed room paying homage to local culture, being just down the street from ASU) and the employee was always a text away. After the first room we had such a great time that we had to do the second, which was even better! The employee running the rooms, Kira, was hospitable, engaging, and made our experience enjoyable and memorable. Highly recommend! read more

Came to this Escape the Room to celebrate a friend's bday prior to dinner and it was SO fun! Really enjoyed the experience and it was my favorite of the 3 Escape the Rooms I've been to so far! The "Lit" theme is perfect for its Tempe location given all the college students and young population. Love love loved the music and there were just so many fun, creative clues and twists. Won't say much more because I don't want to give anything away. Prices are very reasonable. Our host was awesome and he was super sweet and chatty. Definitely come here for a fun-filled time! read more

Really loved this escape the room venue. John our mentor for the games was lovely. The puzzles were well thought out and clever. We loved it so much we booked immediately for another game. read more

We have done every room here and we will continue to do so for every one that this team makes!! Truly an awesome experience at every moment. The puzzles are unique, fun, and just challenging enough to get our brains working. Love it so much! read more

We loved it so much, that we came back twice within 24 hours! It was just myself and my bestie doing the escape room and we've never done one with just the two of us. It's very doable and still extremely fun! First we did the LIT room with Seth as our game master and he was very welcoming and answered all of our questions. We had so much fun that we booked our second room right after completing lit and got a 20% discount for booking right after. The next day we came back and did the date night disaster room with the owner as our game master. I'm so mad I forgot her name but she and her whole staff are SOOOO NICE and have such a FUN ENERGY! Absolutely recommending this place! read more

All I can say, is, you will not regret it! My family and I had a blast! Really challenged us! read more

Superrrrr fun, my fairly small group of 3 tried and succeeded in the "Lit" room! We loved it. There's a phone in the room that allows you to text for hints, & we did need a couple small ones. The phone also has Spotify which allows you to play whatever party music you want while you figure it all out. We told the staff it was my birthday before arriving and they left me a sweet message in the rooms mirror which was very appreciated and pretty cool. We definitely will be returning to try the other rooms. read more

My wife and I took our grandson and granddaughter. It was a perfect setup. Great place for a fun time

We had SOOOO much fun!!!!! Our family all came together and to see our minds clicking on all cylinders and actually WIN was a BLAST!

Inferno has a great vibe! When we arrived, we could tell that the room masters were very attentive watching the escapes currently underway but we were still greeted and assisted in a timely manner. Zander was our room master. He explained what we could expect very well and once we'd started we could tell we were being monitored closely. Anytime we got stuck or needed a bit of help, Zander was quick to respond while managing to stay in character. With only 2 people the LIT room was a bit of a challenge but, was still so much fun. Try it out. You won't regret it! read more

Just completed Candy Shoppe at Inferno Escape Rooms and what a blast we had. it was myself and two of my kids, 8 and 10, and we got out with plenty of time to spare. The puzzles were super fun and the kids were able to help a ton. It was a fun story and I thought the puzzles were creative. I can't wait to come back and try all of the rooms. John was an awesome host and made us feel very welcome. read more

Had a great time celebrating a birthday. First time doing an escape room. We did Lit. So much fun; definitely a team building exercise. #teamworkmakesthedreamwork. I will definitely be visiting again to do the others. Price was on point. read more

We've been twice now. The first time we did The Inventor's Secret, and yesterday we did Lit. This place is great! The stories are well thought out and the puzzles and numerous and and challenging without feeling impossible. We did Lit with 4 people, one of whom is a young teenager. We finished with almost 15 to spare, but then we are a family of logic problem and puzzle enthusiasts. My only complaint is that there aren't more rooms! read more

Loved the "Lit" escape room! Challenging enough but not excruciatingly hard. Xander was very kind and loved his energy which made the experience overall better. Would try another game room! read more

I had the best experience!! I have been to multiple escape rooms in the valley and this is by far the best one! The staff made me feel so welcome and very informed! Even during COVID, all the precautions were being taken and I felt very safe! Stone was the one to help us at the front desk and during the game and I couldn't have asked for better help! So informative and energetic! He gave us the best experience I could ask for!! Thank you Stone!! read more

My family and I had so much fun in the candy room, and Santa room. John, our game master, was incredibly witty, hilarious, and wanted to make it the best experience for our party as possible. He was beyond generous with his time, and incredibly easy-going and fun to talk with! All of the clues were well written, and the rooms guided you very well while also challenging you. We thoroughly enjoyed our night. Thank you, John!!!! Highly recommend, and we will be back to check out the rest of the rooms! This is by far the best built "Escape The Room" I've been to!!! read more

We did their 2 rooms and these were amazing. This was our 44th & 45th escape room we've done, so we've seen a lot. Lit might be the most fun room I've ever done. Our game master, Betsy, was super fun and helpful. Rest of the staff was fun to talk to as well. Really looking forward to their 3rd room read more

When you read reviews of escape rooms, don't just look at the 5 start positives, look at the negative reviews. Also look to see how many rooms that person has done. If it was their first room, it was probably incredible first time but for those who have done a lot rooms, it was probably meh. With that out of the way, I've done 40+ escape rooms across the country and Inferno knows what they are doing. Their puzzles are well thought out and unique. And the rooms don't feel like hash and repeats of other companies. We did both Inventors Secret and Lit and they were totally different. Also the waiting room bonus room is such a cool idea and such a cool add-on to do while you wait. Proud to say we set the record at 5 minutes and 36 seconds for the waiting room. Lit was by far the most unique and was like nothing I did before. Some of the puzzles we're really long and rewarding. Also the mechanic for getting clues was so cool. Inventors secret is more tech heavy and thematic. Some really cool unique puzzles. Really good attention to detail. We did them with 3 experienced people and other than getting stuck on lock that times out in Lit, we moved through them with just enough difficulty to feel challenged but not too much to the point where it seemed impossible. Same for inventors secret as well. I'd highly recommend their rooms for experienced and in experienced players alike. Go give these ASU grads your business! Go Devils! read more

My husband, brother, sister in law and I came here and did the Disaster Date room. It was a lot of fun and challenging! We met Shi who helped us before and after the room. All of the staff were friendly! We already booked for a second round in a new room, Shi's suggestion. read more

I love this place! I came here twice with my parents and friends to play Lit and Burned Out. Everyone in my group really loved it, even my parents who were unsure what it was or if they'd enjoy it. The puzzles make sense, unlike a lot of other rooms I've played. And the themes of the rooms are more unique than anything I've seen and super entertaining and funny! I'm definitely coming back to play Inventors Secret soon. Also shout out to the staff for being the best :) read more

We kicked it off with some scrumptious cookies from next store fresh out of the oven. As the owner/creator Chris patiently waited for us to escape our food coma, we thoroughly enjoyed Chris's sense of humor. Will you be our new best friend? The room is cleavor and incorporated fresh ideas I've never seen in an escape room. We really had to work together as a team and use our brain juices. Entertaining and would love to try out more of Chris's ideas. We did the Lit room. read more

I must say, they have definitely stepped their game up!!!! I was very impressed with the improved "Inferno". I travel a lot so I've been to several other escape rooms in other states and the new Candy shop room here at Inferno ranks pretty high on my list in terms of design and effort put forth in creating the room. Zander was great along with other staff. Even though I experienced a small pricing discrepancy, they resolved the issue very quickly. I definitely recommend that you play a room or 2 here at Inferno, you will not be disappointed. read more

It was so much fun! We loved the room we were in and want to go back and try the other rooms. Ella was so helpful and kind, she made our Escape Room experience so much fun and makes us want to come back! read more
