I am still pissed we didn't escape The Inheritance room. However, I think even if we had 15 more minutes we would not have escaped. Here we were trying to be a top finisher!! There were 5 of us with multiple strengths, from medicine to marketing and we still didn't get it. I would not recommend more than 6 people in the room as I feel it would get kinda tight. I cannot remember the last time we had this much fun. Boy was it a blast. I definitely would recommend this to everyone. If you are scared of tight spaces, at no time did it seem you were really trapped as there is a button to open the door at any time. The staff could not have been nicer. Cannot wait to try one of these experiences again. read more

This is my first time going in an escape room, and now I want to go AGAIN! I went to the runaway train experience with my family, and the experience was mind bending, extremely clever, and amazingly lsuspenseful! I like drama, so this was a perfect place for me. I personally think if you like to bend your brain, this is perfect for you. It also had so many distractions, that me and my family ran out of time! So, you better look out! There are 4 more experiences that I didn't go to, but their backstories sound amazing! I would tell you the things I did, but you should go see yourself! I would also recomend to go in a group of 6 or 4 people. It will be even easier with more hands! read more

Very fun and exciting adventure with family and new people to meet. Will return and check out another room. read more

Escape Experience - Downtown Riverfront - Escape Games Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

So I had heard about a few different escape room attractions in other cities from friends who talked about what a fun thing they were to do for a unique experience but I was unprepared for how awesome the escape experience was! So, there are going to be multiple scenarios but the first one available here is Cell Block C. I really did not know what to expect and was surprised at how realistic the setup is. I don't want to give much away for fear of spoiling your experience but the nut shell version is that you are handcuffed and put into a prison cell and you have an hour to escape. There are a myriad of clues and puzzles that help you get out if you use your brain and work together as a team. We had a group of six and got out with a few minutes to spare but I am sure that a lot of groups don't make it. This is a crazy fun activity and these guys really have done at making the scenario realistic and challenging while still allowing for some clues and help so that you never get too frustrated. This would be an epic activity for a date or for a larger group of friends. I can't wait for the additional experiences to open (the beginning of February is when the managers said it would be online!) I can't recommend this activity any more highly! Do it!! read more

Was fun but they kept giving hints without us asking. There was a problem with the weight machine in one room. Would love to try again without all the help. read more

The entire IT department has been here twice. Once for the Inheritance and once for C-Block. We escaped both times, and it was incredibly fun. You honestly don't know if you're going to be able to get out at times. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone, but keep in mind the more people in your group the better, as it takes a lot of time to scour the room(s) for clues and objects AND using the information uncovered. read more

Interesting, challenging, fun group activity. The staff was pleasant and explained how the program worked and made the experience fun. They were involved in the beginning and then you're own your own. The facility was clean and there was sufficient parking (a private lot and plenty of street if needed). We had a group of family mixed with three others we didn't know. I'd recommend a small group if possible or a group of people you know as this may help the overall experience. Great activity for a rainy day too! read more

Very enjoyable. Very impressed with the complexity of the Inheritance escape room. Was challenging and well worth the price. Highly Recommended! read more

We visited this escape room on our quick vacation to Chattanooga. We decided to try out Prison Break and we were not disappointed. We absolutely loved the theme of the room. The puzzles in the room were challenging without being impossible. Although we didn't escape the room, we decided to come back the next day to try and escape. We also tried another room while we were there and that one was themed well also. The staff at Escape Experience Chattanooga was very nice and helpful. After trying some of the escape rooms back home, this is by far the best escape room we've done to date. 10/10 would recommend. We love this place. read more

My friend and I visited this place via the yelp reviews and we loved it! We only had two people in our party (I would recommend a group of four or so), but we were SO close to escaping! You have an hour to solve the puzzles (we did the C-Block), but we'll be back later this week to do The Inheritance course. We had a blast!! read more

This is one of the better escape rooms I've gone too. The young man at the front desk was very pleasant. We finally made it out but it wasn't easy. I enjoyed myself and will likely try another room on my next visit to Chattanooga. read more

Lots of fun!! We had a blast. Myself and three friends did the "C-Block" escape. We made it with ten seconds to spare!! Challenging puzzles, helpful clues when we're stuck, so much adrenaline, so much fun!! read more

Pretty cool game especially if you do it with a group of strangers!!! Mind challenging and with only 60 minutes you can get pretty exhausted if you're actively playing!!! read more

So every new years for like 4 years now I make my friends do an escape room. But you know a pandemic hits, so I go to google and try to find a great escape room that is live and that we can do online via zoom. We voted on doing the Runaway Train Transport and it was so fun! Chris was our guide and kept it really fun and dealt with my friends and I shenanigans. If we ever find ourselves in Tennessee we all agreed that we would do an escape room here! read more

We had an amazing time! Great escape experience, very immersive and so fun to explore in the rooms. We want to come back and try them all.

We did "Vaccine - Search For The Cure" yesterday, and had a blast! It was our first escape room, and our family of four is now completely hooked! Walt, our host was personable, informative, funny, and made check in easy. The build out of the rooms we were in was very well done, set design quality. We love playing board games, and this experience took that love to a whole new level! We got out of the house and entered an interactive world, that left us wanting more! We've already booked another, and you should too, immediately! Thanks Escape Experience! read more

Cameron was the BEST! We did the virtual experience and it was such an unexpected blast. It takes a minute to get used to because you're directing someone with urgency and want to make sure you don't sound like you're barking orders! But once you get into the groove of asking the right questions and putting things together, it's really really fun to figure out. Five stars for our "body" in the room. Give that man a raise. read more

When my wife and I were looking for a place to visit for one of our relaxing getaways she had found out about the Escape Experience and we decided that we would head to Chattanooga for our trip. After it was all said and done we couldn't not have been any happier with our choice! Not only did Chattanooga surprise us with its small town in a big city vibe but the Escape Experience literally blew our minds! After we escaped and with just minutes to spare we couldn't stop raving about how much fun we had and couldn't think of the last time we even had that much fun! We have decided that even if it's just day trips back there we are going to attempt all the rest of their scenarios! read more

Great experience ! Our group ranged in age from age 13 to 73 and I can't tell you which one of us had the most fun. We didn't quite escape but we were close! We have already recommended it to several of our friends and people that we met on the streets in Chattanooga that day. No one that we met in Chattanooga had heard of the place- so my recommendation would be that they give out T-shirts or charge a minimal fee, maybe even include it in the price of the experience! I would give it 4 1/2 stars but I couldn't figure out how to get half of a star read more

Incredible. Great set up. Multiple rooms for each game. Nice staff and very realistic rooms. I wonder why I keep doing these though. I feel so great going in and have to ask for clues within minutes. Sigh. Nothing like paying money to feel dumb!! Try this one out. Guaranty you'll enjoy it! read more

Incredibly fun. It is a bit pricey, but it is a great brain challenging experience for groups large and small. My boss took our staff for a retreat. I can not recommend it enough. Your group gets placed in a role playing scenario and you must work together as a team to escape whatever scenario you choose. It literally feels like you are in a fast paced mystery movie with a group of your friends. read more

Best time I've had in Chattanooga by far. A must try for adults. I do not recommend for children under 15. You will have to work together and be willing to handcuffed to strangers. Also be prepared to not finish the mission it is hard. However, it doesn't matter. The experience is worth the frustration!!! read more

Absolutely fantastic. The best time I could possibly have had. I will be looking for similar Escape places wherever I go. 10/10 would recommend. read more

This place was awesome. We did the C-block (jail) experience as a company group outing. It was a very unique experience and if you love puzzles, then you will have a blast. I won't give any details because I don't want to ruin it for you. The premise is that you are wrongly accused and you have an hour to break out. The whole experience is very well thought through. It's hard, but but not so much that it frustrates. I think they said about 40-50% beat the prison experience. I definitely will go back for the Inheritance. Quick tip - -You can have up to 8 with a minimum of 2 people in your team. I'd recommend being somewhere in the middle. Having 8 in our team made it hard because there was a lot of information and you didn't know what was used vs. not. read more

Great time, challenging puzzles and clues made for a very fun-packed hour. Would highly recommend for large groups (up to 8) who are looking for something to do together! read more

What an incredible experience! The staff was friendly and attentive and the course itself was incredibly well put together. Even though we didn't manage to escape I felt the difficulty was just right. I was afraid it would be too easy and not worth the money (which was really reasonable) but it really struck a balance between too hard and just challenging enough. Looking forward to our next trip. read more

Great experience!!! We went as a team for a business outing. They opened early for or party to accommodate us seeing they had nothing till the later afternoon. Overall a great time. This would be fun for anyone whether it be a team building activity, group outing with friends or date night. Great job making this fun and entertaining!!! Definitely will return! read more

Handcuffed to strangers- WHAT? Or family did the Cell block C Experience & it was cool! Clues all around you but finding and making sense of them IS a challenge! WE ESCAPED! Highly recommend. read more

Amazing is the only thing I can come up with to describe this. It's real life Nancy Drew detective. Find the clues and work your way out. It's a really cool experience that I'm so glad my husband and I did. Will definitely be back to try others. This is a do not miss have to do attraction. read more

I revived my yelp account just for this review. THIS WAS SOOO MUCH FUN! Don't leave Chattanooga without checking it out. It was definitely the highlight of our trip. Lots of fun in a large group. We liked it so much we came back the next available time frame to do the other offered escape experience. Hot damn! read more

Like the other reviewers said this is a great experience!! You will want to return for the other scenarios. This is a team exercise that will require you to think. I will give you one idea. Bring your phone with a light. Try to have about 5-6 people for this. If your only two they will put you with other people. Its amazing how perfect strangers work together. read more

One of the most fun experiences in my life. Very challenging and a great adrenaline rush the whole time!

Previously, while visiting Chattanooga, we did the Vaccine and The Bunker and loved them both. (The Vaccine has been my favorite escape room out of all the many escape rooms my family and I have attempted.) The Escape Experience team has done a great job of creating some awesome escape rooms. This recent trip to Chattanooga led us to the Train. We had been looking forward to the Train's opening since our last visit and we knew this was the one we would attempt to escape this time. We had another great time, however there were a few technical glitches such as the monitors not working, some other "props" not working, and rules not being thoroughly explained to some first timers that had joined our group. We felt these issues contributed to our not being successful in escaping, but who knows, if everything would have been working properly we may still have not escaped. . We contacted the company as soon as our experience was over to let them know about the issues we encountered. I just received a very kind call from Daniel, who was very apologetic for our less than 100% satisfaction rate. I told him that we still had a great time, but he wanted to make sure we were completely satisfied so he offered us a resolution to the situation that was more than fair. This is exactly how a successful business should be ran. We will continue to recommend this company and we will continue to be repeat customers. I'm looking forward to doing the Inheritance the next time we visit Chattanooga! read more

Did this today - our first escape room. I had two of my kids (17 and 24 year old guys) and husband with me. I wasn't sure what to expect, but this was such a blast! Very challenging but also entertaining and it kept all 4 of us so busy the hour flew by. Megan was a great team leader. This is fun of all ages. We will be back next time we visit Chattanooga! read more

"The Inheritance" was SO much fun! We chose the more difficult challenge for our first time, and we didn't escape! Only 27% of the people escape this one, and the week we went, only 3 other groups had escaped that week. The rest failed. We were so close though. It was a group of 8 adults, and had so much fun. It took a lot of brain power and laughter. There are so many puzzles from books to maps to birds to mirrors to math to everything in between! You are allowed 3 free hints, and then if you need any more hints, you can ask for them, but it will deduct from your time. I would not recommend this one for children because it was complex, and I think it would be frustrating for them. Adults, it was great! The C Block experience is easier, and you are all handcuffed together, so that would be a better one for children. The staff was very friendly and accommodating as well. We will definitely be back! read more

First time in an escape room, and HAD A BLAST! Highly recommend. Our family of 5, ranging from age 13 to 48, did Vaccine. What a great time. Everyone contributed. Didn't set any records and had to use some fierce dance moves to score some extra time, but we ultimately prevailed. Walt and the team at Escape Experience are great! Next time we're In Chattanooga we will try another adventure. read more

My husband and I did the Vaccine room on a recent trip to Chattanooga. It was so much fun! There were many clever puzzles that we hadn't encountered in escape rooms elsewhere. We had a great time and were definitely challenged. I'm so glad we did it. Highly recommend! read more
