This place is amazing! The room we did was very well decorated and really immersed us in the atmosphere of the room. The puzzles were very entertaining and the room was easy enough me and my mom to do on our own, granted with help from our amazing host Riley. She really added to the shaboom of the room. Overall, had a great bonding experience l with my mother.

We had a couple of friends visiting from Germany and wanted to visit a shooting facility in Arizona. We had a few options to pick from but based on the outstanding reviews we had received from friends in the past, we opted to take them to the C2 Tactical Indoor range in Scottsdale. We are so happy we chose this location. One of the best indoor facilities we have had the pleasure of touring. Our friends were equally impressed with the amazing options and state of the art equipment. Jason Brendan, the C2 Tactical store director for the Tempe store, went out of his way to make our visit and experience absolutely memorable. He gave us a tour of the facility and showed us all that it has to offer. He also made our friend’s wife, who has never handled or shot a weapon, feel extremely comfortable and safe with the weapons she shot. He was so efficient, knowledgeable and professional, giving her concise and helpful training, which made her experience pleasurable and extremely fun. We also had the pleasure of having Carol Fiore, the lovely and personable concierge for C2 tactical, give us an in-depth tour of the Area338 club. It’s a fantastically exclusive club at this location. Carol even allowed us to try out the simulator, allowing our guests to experience first hand the live fire scenarios. Both Jason and Carol truly exemplify the strong calibre of quality personnel at C2 Tactical. Our entire experience was absolutely incredible. We could not say enough about the cleanliness of the facility, the warmth and friendliness of all the staff members we encountered and their willingness to assist and the incredible selection of firearms that can be rented out for the ranges. We would highly recommend C2 Tactical to anyone who wants an amazing experience in a safe, clean and inviting environment.

I booked X-Child for my team of 8 and it was PERFECT! We were divided into 2 rooms and without knowing it, we had to work very closely together between the rooms! The clues we well-thought-out and the process was fun for all.
