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.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Standard Puzzle Adventures

  • Audience: Designed for all ages, making them perfect for families, day trips, and team-building.

  • Age Limit: Generally suitable for older children, with a minimum age requirement of 8+ to comply with Arizona car seat laws.

  • Alcohol Policy: Strictly NO alcohol allowed on the cart or consumed during the ride.

🎉 Puzzling Pub Crawls

  • Audience: Geared toward bachelor/bachelorette parties, corporate happy hours, and groups of friends looking for a spirited night out.

  • Age Limit: Strictly 21 and over (ID required).

  • Alcohol Policy: Alcohol is permitted and encouraged at the partner bars, but is still not allowed on the cart at any time.


3. The Takeaway: Safety Remains Standard

Regardless of which adventure you choose, you get the absolute best feature of every Puzzle Ride:

  • Your Puzzlemaster is your Designated Driver (DD)!

Whether you’re finding stolen gold or sipping on a specialty cocktail, your entire group gets to enjoy the competition and adventure knowing that all the navigation and safe transportation is handled for you.
