Escape rooms in Tucson

My favorite room in Tucson! The staff here is attentive and friendly, the Witching Hour has a spooky vibe and bewitching puzzles. I loved the secret reveal!

This review comes from a group that has completed about 20 escape rooms across the nation, including in cities such as Orlando, St. Louis, Las Vegas. We have encountered some so-so rooms, some decent rooms, and some amazing rooms.

What we LOVE - They don’t mix you with strangers in the rooms! That is awesome!

This room, the Zombie Lab, was a little bit of a disappointment for us. We had previously done, over several years, both the Bank Heist and the Western room at this venue. The western themed room has the best theming of them all, as it is the most immersive, though even there you’ll see odds and ends that appear to be incomplete, like a certain ceiling tile installation/work-around that looks sloppy.

First off - TONS of locks. Locks, locks, locks! That is typical of many entry-level rooms. The puzzles ARE fun, but not many of the puzzles relate to the stories! It seems like the rooms are decorated, and then filled with a hodgepodge of random puzzles that don’t actually contribute to the theme or the story. You’re walking around thinking, “How is this puzzle related to the story at all?”



Another aspect that is a bit of a letdown: Having to watch an intro video in the lobby in front of other groups. It’s just awkward standing around a television next to the counter to watch a poorly written (and full of grammatical errors and misspellings!) video before entering the room.

Lastly, it would be nice if the employees conveyed some enthusiasm for the job at hand. The instruction segment given to each group by the employee is too long and rushed. It’s a LOT of talking for them, and they talk fast to get through it, which is just annoying for everybody. The instructions should be more concise.

Our favorite to least favorite room at his ensue: #1 Wild West (We were told the owners built this one themselves - They’ve obviously learned a lot from running the other two rooms) #2 The Bank Robbery #3 Zombie Lab

Went with a group of 5, and we are all old hats at escape rooms. We've probably done about 20 so far in Vegas, St. Louis, Orlando, Phoenix, etc. This room was okay for a Tucson escape room. It was better than two other Tucson rooms we tried last weekend.

The decor was very good - It did get you feeling like you were in the old west and there were some fun trinkets to look at.

The downside for my group was that the puzzles/clues did not seem realistic - they were quite random and left us wondering things like, "Why on earth would a person write that bit of info on that item??" "Why would a person ever hide that thing in this way?" The puzzles and clues just weren't realistic at all. So if you are particular about authentic scenarios, you may be a bit underwhelmed here.

If you don't care about practical story-lines and game play, then you will probably really enjoy this room!

We have done a room at each location, and both were so much fun. The 6 shooter room was great! We were a group of four which was perfect for the difficulty level and size of the room. We made it out of this one with seconds to spare!

Best escape room in Tucson!

After we finished the Zombie room, we immediately reserved the Bank room. The difficulty was just right and it did not require too much math to solve. We had so much fun there and we will definitely come back !

My pals and I had a great time at FITB. We went twice in out weeklong trip, completing both rooms. Personally we thought the bank was more fun, but the Zombie room was great too. The two owners are extremely nice, and created a creative atmosphere that we were all mesmerized by. Props to you Mr. Fox.
