Our group flew to Arizona to speed run 10+ escape rooms and this was on our list. Such a fun time, the puzzles were fun and interesting, 0 gen 1 locks and the environment *chef's kiss*, immaculate. I would highly recommend NOT wearing open-toed shoes as you will be stepping through sand. I do wish we could've been here when their 2nd and 3rd room open though. Excited for when we come back again! read more

The absolute best escape room that I've ever done! It was so immersive with the most satisfying puzzles. The props and set were top notch and the technology was advanced but elegant. It wasn't scary but we did get scared at some of the door drops but it made it exciting. I would recommend this to any one and everyone especially to hardcore escape room fans. 11/10 read more

Freaking awesome!!! They only have one, actual Escape Room right now, but their next room should be available before this July... AND WE WILL BE THERE. Their Egypt-room was amazing: -the effects -the storyline -the puzzles -the interaction 10/10 read more

Paragon Escape Games - I believe the Egypt-room is 4-10ppl. We had 7, and it was perfect! - Escape Games Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Amazing place! The Egyptian pyramid escape room is hands down the best escape room I've ever been to in my entire life! They did such a great job designing this one. read more

I've visited several escape rooms. This was, by far, the most impressive. I did the "Return of the Pharaohs" game with 6 family members. The clues and puzzles were creative, well planned out, & challenging (but doable). The quality of the props, decor, sounds, etc. created a fully immersive experience. It was truly a magical and memorable escape room! I can't wait until they come out with more games!!! read more

Best escape room I've been to in the valley. Will be coming back as soon as they expand.

i went today with my family of five. My husband and I took our three girls who are 9, 11 and 14 . it was amazing for all of us non of us were bored or scared. The person who hosted us was amazing and so friendly I wish I knew his name. If you can't figure it out they will leave a clue on the tv screen... he had to help us a lot hahaha which we were very grateful for. definitely would want to go again my girls were begging for us to come soon! read more

Nothing like starting with an amazing escape room for my first one...and we were some of their first customers. 4 of us...3 newbies and 1 that had been a couple of times were paired up with 2 hardcore escape room enthusiasts. They 2 had been to over 500 escape rooms! So, we arrive and we're really impressed with the entry area...very cool and you can tell that the owners put a lot of thought and care into the experience from initial entry. Then, we entered into the room...a mummy experience. Really incredible theme, decor, etc. We were overwhelmed and then got going...step by step, trying to figure out what the heck to do! The pieces began falling into place as we started using parts of our brain that haven't been explored in a while (or maybe ever!). As we got further and further along, additional rooms opened, lights indicated progress, a looming voice announced achievements, and we solved it with minutes to spare! It was challenging and a blast. At the end, I asked the veterans how this one stacked up to others and they informed us that this is the best in the Phoenix area. Nothing like starting at the top! We can only look forward to future rooms that these guys develop. Really excited to revisiting this place. So...looking for a great time? This was the spot. I highly recommend it! Good luck beating our time with just under 5 minutes to spare. read more

We went this past weekend to do the Pharaohs escape room at paragon. The puzzles were well thought out, the theming was amazing (sand on the floor, multiple rooms, and incredible props). We finished the room with 12 minutes to spare and were soo close to not needing any hints. The game master did a great job letting us still figure most of it out on our own even when calling out for help. We went for a birthday and the company was so accommodating, saying happy birthday to their person and giving us drinks after we escaped:) We were able to sneak a little peak at the ones currently under construction and cannot wait to try those out when they are complete. We will be back for whatever else they have to offer. read more

While the location might be considered a drive by some; you are immediately reminded that this will be a top notch experience when it comes to "escape" games. The themes and decor are very well done! We felt the employees went above and beyond to ensure my family had a positive experience. This was worth the price versus other businesses that often advertise on Groupon. read more

The Egyptian Pharaoh room was amazing! I will definitely come back to try another room.

Bronson is the flippin man. Amazing experience! Recommended to anyone and everyone, gotta come back near Christmas for their other clockwork-themed room. read more

Paragon Escape Games has one of my absolute favorite Egyptian-themed rooms. They created fantastic gameplay loops that had us really exploring their game world, and working for our solves, which was incredibly rewarding. Plus, the set is beautiful - exquisitely carved and painted - with the soundtrack, lighting, and effects adding ambiance and intensity to the adventure. read more

Wow! Exceeded our expectations! We loved this family activity and we can't stop talking about the quality, detail, and creativity of the Return of the Pharaoh escape room. It was so much fun!!!! Highly recommend. read more

Definitely reccomend to all newbies and seasoned vets. read more

Return of the Pharaohs is an incredible escape room. The sets are beautiful, the puzzles are challenging but fair, and the environment really pulls you in. What an amazing start; I can't wait to see what Paragon Escape comes up with next. read more

Absolutely LOVED this escape room!! Our family has done well over 30 rooms and this is the most unique and immersive experience that we have had! Can't wait for the other rooms to be created/added! read more

Highest production escape room in which we've ever been. It was so much fun! My husband normally hates them, but comes to spend time with our kids who came in from out of town. Even he got into this one. Can't wait for the new rooms to open up at the beginning of the new year. Such a fun room!!!! Best one any of us have ever done, and my kids do them regularly where they live. read more

Definitely the best escape room my family and I have gone to. Definitely recommend due to the atmosphere and how much care they put into the details of the room. read more

Paragon Escape Games - Bro's being bro's at the BEST escape room in the world!! - Escape Games Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Hands down best escape room I've ever done!!! Can't wait for you guys to open the others.

We wanted something fun to do to escape the summer heat and boy did we hit the jackpot! Return of the Pharaohs is the most awesome escape room we have ever done. Bring your thinking cap to this one! The employees were so friendly and the whole process was seamless. I'm am eagerly waiting for their new rooms to open up and will be going back and trying each and every one of them. Thank you for an amazing afternoon Paragon Escape Rooms! read more

We did my 29th birthday at Paragon escape room with about 9 people. I wanted something that was different other than sitting down for dinner and really brought everyone together and boy did I get that. The detail and story line were great, the helpful tips from RA were appropriate and we did escape the room with 1 1/2 minutes to spare. The owner also gave us a sneak peak of the two other rooms. I think this is perfect for your kids in summer, team building, not so average date night. Check them out! I also love that this is east valley and was a comprable commute for my Gilbert and Queen Creek friends. So excited to see you grow and do other puzzles at Paragon. Only recommendation for an even better experience is maybe offer photos in the room while playing the game, obviously with consent! read more

This escape room truly took us across the world in this fully immersive room! Game master was also a real pro! This was a really fun experience for our family, I can't wait to go back!! read more

WOW!!! The best escape room I have been to. We did the Pharaoh Room. It was very interactive and makes you feel like you are in Egypt. I can't wait to see what they have coming!!!! read more

What an amazing place! Honestly I have done a lot of rooms and this one is in my top 3 rooms to do in Arizona. Amazing details, a crazy twist near the end, and an incredible staff. I can't wait for more rooms to be finished here. Good job you guys. read more

We played Return of Pharaoh to celebrate our daughter's birthday and it was such a fun ambience and game. Julian was extremely funny and really helpful. The game is not too easy and has lot of puzzles to crack in 60 minutes. The room adapts according to how the players progress so that everyone ends up solving the puzzle in the end. Must do! read more

Paragon lives up to its name! The owner/designers are incredibly friendly and welcoming Playing the room is like having a theme park open to just you and your friends with a seamless, immersive experience. The puzzles are really creative, fun and challenging. Wherever you are in the Valley this is a don't miss stop! read more

Out of all the escape rooms I've been to I enjoyed this one the most! The special effects and set were amazing, and the puzzles were really fun to solve! read more

I have never done an escape room so I wasn't sure what to expect. This was like an experience at a Disney theme park. It was engaging, fun and super well done. I highly recommend this for families with older children, teenage date nights or groups of adult friends. read more

Amazing!!! First class all the way!! Super friendly greeting when you first get there. Very challenging, unexpected surprises, and crazy entertaining. Definitely worth the visit!!! read more

Paragon Escape Games - Entry wall... - Escape Games Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

We LOVED this room!!! The decor and set was one of the best we have seen. The flow of the room was perfect. It was incredibly immersive. And after 150+ rooms done... there are few "unique" puzzles left that we haven't seen... but there were a few here! Ask the owners to show you the Easter Egg in the room if you don't come across it. Everything was so high quality and we just had so much fun. I can't wait for the other rooms. read more

This place was awesome! This was our first escape room and we had a blast. Our game instructed Brianna did a great job explaining the room and giving a hint when we were clueless. The effects and style of the room were spot on. Definitely a place I recommend for anyone looking to do a challenging yet really fun room! Thanks again! read more

This was a fun challenge! We loved walking barefoot in the sand while solving the return of the pharaohs! There were 3 rooms involved and a lot of cool features! Definitely recommend!! read more

My husband and I LOVE escape rooms, we have been to a bunch in AZ and across the US. This hidden gem is by far the best escape room we have ever been to. Great decor and tech, will definitely be back for their upcoming rooms. 11/10 would definitely recommend. read more

Absolutely incredible, mind-blowing experience. I've done a ton of escape rooms in Phoenix and the Pharaohs Return is HANDS DOWN the best and most immersive!! I immediately texted all my friends telling them to do this room, and wrote this review as soon as I got home because of how strongly I feel about this! read more

If you love escape rooms, Return of the Pharaohs at Paragon is a MUST DO in the Phoenix area. We've done dozens of escape rooms at this point and this is definitely one of the best. It is a completely Gen 3 room; the set, clues and storyline are so immersive. You won't find one lock! The clues are non-linear (as they explain to you before the room) and the perfect mix of challenging and exciting. We went with a group of 4 and I would say that was a pretty good number of people- maybe another 1 or 2 people could have helped us escape (we were ONE step away!). My one tip for this room is to wear closed toed shoes. I don't want to give anything away (it's nothing scary or physically demanding); it's just better if you have them. Lastly, I just have to say how awesome the Gamemasters/owners are. They promptly replied to an email question I had the day before, they took all the COVID precautions, and they sat around and talked with us a bit after. It's very obvious that they care about bringing the best experience possible and love escape rooms just as much as us. Although the room is already awesome, they are constantly making changes to improve it even more. Thanks for a great experience; we are looking forward to your next room! read more
