Those looking for a new way to put their problem-solving skills to the test will soon have another option in downtown Phoenix. The Escape Game is expanding its Arizona presence with a second location at CityScape, following the success of its Gilbert debut.
The new location will feature five immersive escape room experiences, including four games from the Gilbert lineup and Timeliner: Train Through Time, a new addition to the Arizona market. Each experience features movie-quality sets, custom props and interactive puzzles designed to encourage creativity, curiosity and teamwork. Teams have 60 minutes to complete their missions.
“Opening in Arizona for the first time is a milestone we’ve been looking forward to,” said Jonathan Murrell, co-founder and CMO of The Escape Game. “The Phoenix metro is one of the most dynamic, fast-growing regions in the country, full of people who love great experiences, and we can’t wait to welcome them into our games and create memories they’ll be talking about long after they leave.”
The Escape Game’s downtown Phoenix location will offer a variety of story-driven experiences, each with its own setting, challenges and objectives.
In The Depths, players investigate mysterious footage from a rumored underwater laboratory, following clues from the eccentric Dr. Leah to uncover what happened beneath the ocean’s surface. In Cosmic Crisis, a black hole threatens an entire solar system. Players must reach a nearby space station, retrieve antimatter and stop the black hole before it consumes everything.
Timeliner: Train Through Time takes players aboard a high-tech time-traveling train after a catastrophic mistake begins unraveling reality. Teams must travel through different centuries, searching for clues across the past, present and future to repair the timeline. Ruins: Forbidden Treasure sends teams into a dense jungle after a crash landing. Players must work together to find a long-lost fortune.
Murder with a Side of Meatballs puts players in the middle of an Italian restaurant murder mystery. After a guest at Rosso’s Ristorante is killed, teams must examine evidence, investigate seven suspects and identify the culprit. The objective is to solve the crime using interactive puzzles and a digital investigation board.
The Phoenix opening is part of The Escape Game’s continued national expansion, with more than 60 locations across the country. All locations are corporate owned, with no franchises, and every game is designed and built from the ground up at the company’s production studio in Smyrna, Tennessee.
