Our company took advantage of the Copper Canyon tour and we loved it! 20 team members racing around on 3 golf carts through the city of Scottsdale was hilarious and thrilling and SO MUCH fun! The drivers and their partners were extremely personable and you couldn't help getting swept up in the excitement of racing to the treasure!
Great activity to do early in your trip as you driver all around town, past so many sights and attractions. It gives you thought into restaurants to try and things to do while you are in town. Great way to explore the city quickly without actually exploring the city.

What a wonderful company and a wonderful experience! Gregg was such a fantastic and enthusiastic puzzle master, and the company owner (Katie) went above and beyond to accommodate our special needs. Such a creative concept to ride around town looking for clues. The ride was extremely well executed with lots of attention to detail from start to end. My last ride was a family ride, and I plan to return for a date night soon. Highly recommend!!

Before our trip to Arizona, we got an email from Puzzle Rides letting us know about our adventure! However, we messed on our end and picked the wrong day for the adventure, so we promptly emailed and texted the company who got back to us within 30 minutes to let us know that we were able to push our time back by a day. They were very nice about it!

I really want to add more photos, but I don't want to give anything away. It is a puzzle ride after all.

We had an AMAZING time! For a company that is so new, this idea of riding around Old Scottsdale on golf carts, having drinks at each bar and figuring out puzzles, what could be better than that?

We did the "Classic Rock" Tour. This might sound daunting for people who don't know Classic Rock, but if you love puzzles/escape rooms, you will have no issues! I promise. You just may want to know your drinks a little bit, but you can get help! In the "Classic Rock" tour, there are 16 locations. Every tour, you do four. However, this not only makes you want to come back for more puzzles, it gives you a tour around Old Scottsdale that you may have never heard of. There is definitely one place that I have added onto my list of places to go back to because we went there on the tour.

I would recommend this to everyone! It was amazing! We will be back for another round of Puzzle Rides. Greg was our sober tour guide for the adventure, and he did an amazing job!!

Avoid at all costs. Huge Rip OFF! $51 a person we paid close to $500 for our group. All in all it was a total of 5 minutes on a golf cart with no Christmas music and a very unenthusiastic guide. We were told we would be playing a festive Christmas game at each bar. Basically we were dropped off at the bar and told to find a table then our guide came by and through a dry erase crossword puzzle at us. The guide told us if we won the game we would get the name of the festive drink to order. The bartenders had no clue what we were talking about when we tried to order it. Honestly we could have just hailed down a golf cart and gone to the bars and spent a total on $30 for the ride instead of the close to $500 that we spent. We went to three bars only because I asked for him to please take us to a third bar. He acted like we would only have time for two. We actually did have time for three even though its an hour and a half. AT the last bar the driver left us saying it would be faster if we just got an Uber back to the drop off point! Again poor customer service, not fun or festive and a huge rip off!

Unfortunately, your recollections of your hop vary greatly from that of your guides. Yes, it’s true that the stereo system was discovered to be unworking at the moment we started your ride; a true disappointment to all (the cart had just been serviced, and a wire inadvertently disconnected.) It was suggested singing was appropriate, and several gentlemen in your party merrily began to sing. Other than this fact, and the fact that one bar was out of an ingredient to make a festive drink, the rest of your review is disputed. We always visit three bars; there was no question about this. We always go to three, you did not have to insist. You did ask to be dropped off at a fourth location for dinner, which was unfortunately out of the area golf carts are allowed to drive in. Due to the fact several of your friends had arrived late, and you had dinner reservations, it was suggested an Uber might get you there fastest from your final bar location, and given the fact you all had been drinking, it was also suggested for your safety. You were offered a ride back to your vehicle, which was declined. You also requested to leave locations sooner than we normally would, again thinking of your dinner reservation. It is customary for us to drop you off at the door of a bar location to go in, order and secure seating while we park the cart (we cannot leave it at the front door.) Your guide was with you the entirety of the tour, as proven by the two dozen photos he took of your group, a half dozen of which you posted on your Instagram with the cheerful description of “Jingle Bar Hopping with some Gangsta Wrappers! Memories were made! ” (with a laughing emoji, drink emoji’s Santa & a tree) Your guide had with him six puzzles, of which your group attempted four. Several commented to your guide about how much fun they were having, which is seen in the photos of your group. Only one festive drink was ordered, and unfortunately the bar in question was out of hot chocolate at the moment-not something we could predict. We do not offer prepaid drinks as part as our hop, which is clearly stated in our description and on our website, due to our insurance requirements. As to cost, you paid for an experience and guides for 9 people. The going rate in Old Town is $40 per ride per cart; your route would have totaled $240, not $30. Prior to departure, you had three people cancel. We gave you vouchers for them to use in the future, good towards any ride, when you did not chose a refundable booking. According to our cancellation policy, we were under no obligation to do so. We do this because we want our customers to a) have fun and b) get their money’s worth. Despite knowing we had previously done this, you did NOT contact us directly to let us know you were unhappy with your hop until you sent a copy of this review. We have an excellent track record of doing our best to make things right when there’s a hiccup, but you did not afford us the opportunity to do so. As a new company, we truly appreciate feedback (positive and negative) and would have welcomed the chance to give everyone a positive experience. The fact you are posting negative reviews in multiple spots, instead of coming to us so we could make it right, is very disappointing.

Our ghost ride was awesome! Gregg, or puzzle master, was great and told us about some interesting info while we were driving around. Although the best part was that my 13 year old son had such a blast and he truly was the reason we were able to solve the puzzle with time to spare! Having an evening ride was great and the temp was perfect. We are looking forward to going on another puzzle ride soon.

10/10..man oh man what can I say?! Absolutely NOTHING negative, that's for sure! My boyfriend and I went with our 12 year old daughter...we did the pirate treasure hunt. Gregg was our driver and he was wonderful. He worked so well with her and was so easy to chat with and knew so much about the area! You can see the amount of work/time and effort that him and his wife put into making this experience flawless and enjoyable for people of all ages. If you live in the area (like we do), or if you are visiting, I would recommend this outing. You get driven all throughout old town and learn so much. Looking into booking another one soon!

This was so much fun!! 4 of us did the nighttime ghostrider puzzle ride. It was full of true ghost stories along with trying to figure out the clues so could go to the next location. It wasn't easy and had you thinking, but so worth it! Our puzzle master was the most helpful, he was awesome! I would recommend this for anyone planning a trip to Scottsdale!

Fun couple of hours riding around Old Town and solving puzzles. The guides kept it fun and interactive for our 14 and 12 year old. We did a Christmas -themed adventure but I imagine any would be fun. The puzzles were just hard enough in this “outdoor escape room” themed adventure. It’s all outdoors , so in the summer I’d advise doing it early in the day to avoid the heat. Great time.

We had a great time solving the Ghost Riders Puzzle. Our Puzzle Master made it so much fun & we learned a lot along the way. Thank you Puzzle Riders - as professional travel planners, we will definitely be referring out clients to you when visiting the area.

This was such a fun activity! Loved seeing downtown Scottsdale at night and had a blast solving the puzzles. Our guides made it fun and didn't let us struggle too hard with any of the clues. Loved that our guides took photos throughout and sent them to us after.
