    Us after escaping the room!
    Emily W.

    I had another great experience at escape experience, Chattanooga, the day before I had done the C block prison escape room, and that day we booked the runaway train escape room. The runaway train escape room was very cool. It was in an actual train car, and the room itself was extremely unique like nothing I have seen before. Our "guide" was Jon . Jon did an excellent job, he was also a very friendly, nice guy.

    This was one of the most fun things that I have done in a while. While we were visiting family in Cleveland, someone suggested doing an escape room during our visit. So, one of the girls got online and looked for one and found the Escape Experience in Chattanooga. It was a BLAST!! It did require for everyone to work together...and, honestly, everyone contributed. While challenging, and maybe even a little of an adrenaline rush, I highly recommend it!!

    Had a great time celebrating my mom's Birthday! Shi-Ann was are host and she did a wonderful job. Even though we turned into zombies because we didn't escape we definitely recommend the vaccine room.

    I had so much fun but I am so mad!!!! I like to think that I'm pretty intelligent. I love mind games. This totally blew me out of the water. I don't want to reveal too much though. We went here for my friend's birthday. The staff was so cool and fun. I hope we didn't annoy them too much with all of our questions. Anyhoo, we were handcuffed together with 2 other people (strangers). There were 4 of us and we were taken to the jail cell. In case you can't tell, we did the cell block experience. We had exactly 1 hour to escape our prison cell. I'm not telling you anything else!!! No hints from me! I will say this, we did not escape. I love the fact that this teaches you a good lesson, PAY ATTENTION TO DETAILS!!!!!! Seriously, the more nosy you can get the better. This was well thought out. Supposedly the inheritance is even better. P.S. we trashed that room and I am so deeply sorry but my adrenaline was pumping! Oh yeah, thanks for making us do the chicken dance and I hope if that video ever surfaces that I won't die of embarrassment LOL.

    The Experience Just Gets Better At the enthusiastic urging of the Nashville Escape Experience crew, we just had to stop in Chattanooga to try The Bunker. We were not disappointed. In our now 63 rooms, this may be the best room we have ever done. First things first: Location has its own parking, places to sit in lobby with drinks (non-alcoholic) and merch available for purchase. Megan at the front counter was welcoming. The extremely professional production value was immediate. Even the hallways match the rooms so you are transported to the world of the room before you even enter. Then we entered The Bunker. You have (hilariously punny) access badges which must be used to open certain doors and you must find more to get into higher access rooms. This isn't "one" room- it just keeps going. We had to have entered at least six different spaces. Yet despite its massive expanse, Chris and I were able to escape using only three hints and we had six minutes to spare. It's imperative you work in parallel in this room- taking it one thing at a time is recipe for failure. Make no mistake, this room is difficult. Chris and I were in top form and we have done a few rooms. People with less experience will want to bring a few more friends. But, but, but, the puzzle design is FLAWLESS. It's so good. We really can't emphasize how good it is. There are SO many moving parts but the room still manages to remain cohesive with logical flow. There's nothing to climb or crawl through, but the floors are uneven and you have to cover a lot of ground, so consider that if you are physically challenged. This room is family friendly, but there are sirens, some loud noises and blackouts, so be aware of that. Tiniest ding against this place: They are sticklers for keeping rooms open for more bookings. We explained that we were return customers who were in town for the primary purpose of doing this room and they still wouldn't block off the 10:30pm Monday night for us. We had to come back to ensure it was still empty. Of course it was! It was 10:30pm on a Monday! Anyway, our game master Jesse was awesome. Enthusiastic, funny, easy-going and more than willing to do a room walk-through at the end if we had any questions or wanted to see something we may have missed. If we hadn't already done their other rooms in Nashville, we have no doubt we would have had an equally fantastic experience doing the rest of their rooms. Fun side note: Jesse was the first person ever to recognize us as The Escape Couple. So we will always carry a warm and fuzzy for that. Aww, group hugs. If you are in Chattanooga, do not miss The Escape Experience. The Escape Couple

    Runaway train experience! Do it!!

    Hands down the coolest Escape room My fiancé and I have ever been to. We were staying at the Chattanooga Choo Choo for a few days and it was a Wednesday evening and we weren't sure what to do. The Hotel receptionist mentioned that one of the box arts was a new escape room and they recommend it. So we decided to take the plunge and signed up for that evening. I don't want to ruin the escape room so I'll just say that it was very immersive and makes you think! I highly reccomend it!!!!

One player was the coach locked inside of the cage while the rest of us was the teammates trying to get him out. Although it was tough it was fun . We got 80% through our room so hopefully next time we do one we pass.

So not sure if best way to chill or relax mind from every race day worry. Half the crew done one and say lot of fun so why not. I admit really not much of teammate helping out. They offer two different playing moods. Since race weekend plus Sarah like news do competitive mood. The harder of two mood options. So we only started with one clue. I never realize amount of stress these things can be. More so when squeezing time till last second. The fact doing it as team just the five of us makes it lot of fun. We got down last lock but ran out of time. I can remember the name of the room. We had two options to choose from. I remember correctly the one pick harder of the two. I based on 10point scale. The room we did was 8. It cool they have chalkboard out front fastest times of the day or might go by all time. It tricky spot find but worth it. It on second floor, not much signs, and if anything look for flight stairs take up to the entrance. The employees are awesome. No doubt five stars. She was hilarious welcome us, going over the rules, way injected humor in conversation, and positive vibes. If looking for group activity visiting Chattanooga. Time to Escape. Winnah!!!
