When you arrive at 551 S Main St, Cottonwood, AZ, you’ll find a welcoming setup that’s easy to access with free parking options.

The hour-long game is designed to be intense yet fun, with each puzzle and clue carefully crafted to fit within that tight time frame, keeping the adrenaline high without feeling rushed.
The theme of the game is what really pulls you into the 1970s. You step into Professor Montgomery’s office — a finely themed set that captures the era with quirky details and period-specific decor. You’re given a simple but exciting objective: steal an ancient relic while the security system is down for one hour. This setup means you’ll need to outsmart the “crafty professor” by working together, quickly deciphering clues, and solving puzzles to escape before time runs out.
Throughout the game, the focus on teamwork is clear. You’ll be working with your group to collect clues, crack codes, and piece together how to pull off the heist. It’s a challenge that’s not overly difficult (rated as Easy/Medium), but satisfying enough to make you feel accomplished when you succeed. Reviewers like Mike_S mention feeling a little silly at first but quickly getting into the groove after some guidance, leading to a “blast” of fun. We also appreciate how the staff’s enthusiasm and support make newcomers feel comfortable and confident.
Once you’ve completed the game, the experience continues with a 15-minute debrief and photo session, where you can celebrate your victory or laugh over your missteps. This part is a great chance to capture memories and share your adventure with friends and family.
