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!

I've been to several escape rooms now, & this is by far the BEST! The atmosphere is amazing- it doesn't look "decorated" as much as it feels like you get transported into the experience! Everyone in our group was constantly needed, to help/search/solve the entire time- and the 12 & 14 year old in our group figured out things that the adults couldn't! This escape room was a BLAST, you don't want to miss it!

You have not been to an escape room until you’ve tried Return of the Pharaohs! The room is incredible. I felt like I was in an Egyptian tomb. The puzzles all went along with the theme and the attention to detail will blow you away. I can’t wait till their other rooms are finished.

One of the more memorable escape rooms I have done, the design was excellent, both in the room and the puzzles themselves. It was great change of pace to do a room that didn't use any conventional lock puzzles.

Lots of room choices, will have to go back for sure! Staff was nice and they don’t make you lock up your stuff, which is a plus.

We went for my mother's belated birthday and had a blast! The staff was friendly and informative! You're also allowed to leave the room if needed. Although they don't provide clues upon request like others, I believe it makes it all the more challenging! We may go back for my birthday as well!
