So, you know you want the unique experience of a Puzzle Ride—an escape room on wheels, chauffeured by your dedicated Puzzlemaster. But we offer two distinct types of adventures, each designed for a different kind of group and goal.
Should you book a thrilling, family-friendly Standard Adventure like Wild West Heist or Copper Canyon Caper? Or are you ready for an adult-only, socializing challenge with a Puzzling Pub Crawl?
Here is your guide to choosing the perfect mission for your team.
1. The Core Focus: Discovery vs. Deals
The biggest difference between our ride types lies in where they take you and what you’re focused on.
🕵️ Standard Puzzle Adventures (Wild West Heist, Copper Canyon, etc.)
These rides prioritize the immersive storyline, local history, and sightseeing.
-
Primary Goal: Race against the clock to solve a grand mystery, recover treasure, or thwart a villain.
-
Stops: You are solving clues that lead you to historic landmarks, public art pieces, and iconic locationsaround Old Town Scottsdale.
-
Duration: Typically 75–90 minutes of intense solving and sightseeing.
🍻 Puzzling Pub Crawls (Jingle Bar Hop, Hot Summer Nights, etc.)
These rides blend the puzzle challenge with a structured night out.
-
Primary Goal: Solve a themed mystery while stopping to enjoy specialty drinks and exclusive deals.
-
Stops: Your journey takes you to three top local bars where you unlock exclusive discounts for Puzzle Riders.
-
Duration: These adventures usually run longer, clocking in at around 2 hours.
2. The Group: Family Fun vs. Adult-Only
The atmosphere and participation requirements are the clearest way to decide which ride is right for you.
