This room is an absolute must do if you're in the Phoenix area! I love this room so much!! Big Top has a variety of creative and fun puzzles that require some thinking and some physical ability. It was definitely one of the older rooms and more of a later Gen 1 or early Gen 2 but it was still an amazing room! This one was probably around my 10ish mark for rooms and it was probably the first or second really good room that really awed me. Loved the room and would definitely recommend!

Gameplay

The game was super fun and I had an amazing time all throughout! It also flowed really well and the experience was amazing!

Atmosphere

It felt like you were in a circus, the set was really good and it impressed me.

Customer service

North Valley always has such an amazing staff, our GM was super friendly and we appreciated him!

There was only one part in particular that spooked me a little bit but other than that it was fine.

When it comes to age, I always think it depends on someone's escape room experience. I feel 12 is a good happy medium.

Overall super impressed by the design of the room. If you’re used to super linear (lock and key, combination, pattern) puzzles then this is definitely a new experience. There were puzzles me and my team needed nudging on simply because no one would’ve thought to solve them that way. My only negative on this room would be the usage of smell and sound to create the atmosphere. After a while, both components became more of a headache and less of a creative liberty.

A linear circus that can only be dampened by the personalities of your group. Play along with the theme and you’ll have a fun time with the games and festivities. We had a great time and a nice game master to cheer us on. An easier game but seemed to have a cool hint system if you needed it.

This game is a lot of fun, though the first room starts with some more drab or standard escape room puzzles. The unique theme and the fun in-world hint system are delights. Once you get to the midway games, the room really takes off. Solves generally become less traditional and more creative, which bucks the trend of diminishing returns with most escape experiences with multiple sections. There is one surprising section of the room, and there are some highly memorable props. Well worth doing this one!

This room will always hold a special place in my heart as it was my third room overall and the first one that blew my mind. The theme lends itself to a ton of physical puzzles and delightful presentation. The owners and GMs are always so fun. Side Note: We eventually took my brother and our partners to try the room and the GM let us (those that had done it already) join them in the booth to watch them play. Super cool behind the scenes experience.

Gameplay

Super physical, colorful, and fun theme.

Atmosphere

Huge space with great presentation.

Customer service

North Valley Escape is great.

North Valley Escape Room did it again with Big Top Circus! Our team did it back to back after their longest room, Escape From Alcatraz. We were in the zone, because we almost beat the room record. The room was full of fun puzzles and good production value.
