    We were "purged"
    Brandon P.

    Escape Game Knoxville may be my favorite escape room business I've ever participated in. We chose to do the "Purge" based room. Our escape room group has completed 12 escape rooms and lost only 2. This is one of those two rooms. Now, with me saying that we lost - you would think we would've left in bad spirits but honestly, this was the hardest but best escape room I've ever done. It made you think hard. It forced communication. It requires your undivided attention and camaraderie among your team just to make progress in moving forward. Needless to say, I'm a fan. I plan to come back to EGK and redo the purge as well as participate in some of the other rooms such as Villains Lair. I highly recommend you check out EGK when you're in Knoxville!

    Great rooms and staff! The Wild West room was challenging and exciting. The villain room was creepy and fun!

    We had such a great time - the Villains room was really challenging and clever. We will definitely be coming back for the other rooms.

    Great fun! We did this as a team building event for work. We had a ball! Amanda was fantastic.

    We had the BEST moms' night out at Defy Escapes doing the Reel Time Rentals room--seriously such a…read morefun experience! The difficulty was just right, and the puzzles were super creative. You can tell a lot of thought went into the tech and set design--it made the whole thing really immersive without feeling overwhelming or confusing. A few of the moms with us had never done an escape room before, and they all felt comfortable, had a great time, and already want to go again. That says a lot! Huge shoutout to Jimmy--he was awesome. He showed us some of the other rooms beforehand and made the whole experience even better. They also took our group photo and sent it to us almost immediately, which was such a nice touch. And one thing I really appreciated: it didn't feel stressful or intimidating at all. No weird pressure or trying to scare us--it was just genuinely fun from start to finish. Highly recommend if you're looking for something different for a night out!

    What a fun day!! We've been talking about going to @defyescapes in Knoxville for a while now to…read moreplay Reel Time Rentals, and it DID NOT disappoint! We loved it so much we played Midnight Monster Madness, then Tracking Bigfoot, and ended with One Hit Wonder. When I tell you these rooms were some of our favorite escape rooms ever, I'm not exaggerating. We had a blast. We finished every room with 15-17 mins left, and only asked for 2 hints total. These rooms are challenging but not 'my brain hurts' level. I even got a free t shirt for my birthday! Our game master was my favorite one yet, and we've had some good ones! We've played over 100 escape rooms and this one is definitely top 3 for me! We're excited to come back to play their seasonal rooms when they open. If you're ever in the Knoxville area (or pigeon forge/Gatlinburg) and want something fun to do, make the trip. You won't regret it!

    Third time coming back and every time I get this vibe that Ben is really unhappy to be there. He…read morecalled out a young employee in front of every single customer about color coding the helmets when you put them up, and he was so passive aggressive about it. He verbally put her down in front of the whole crowd that was about to go to the course. Extremely unprofessional and I feel like if y'all have a high turnover rate, it's because of Ben. The gentleman in the ropes course, I wish I could remember his name. He was so kind and professional, he would joke with the younger kids and make them laugh, go out on the course in a moments notice to help someone, and was all around in a good mood. He was having a good time and making sure the customers were too. So was the younger girl that Ben verbally attacked in front of everyone. Both the staff in the tree tops were fantastic, extremely helpful, and a pleasure to be around. I do feel bad for anyone that has to work with Ben though. If he was my manager I would quit before the first day was over.

    Spend a few hours in the tree tops and get a challenging workout (if you try the advanced courses)…read more Navitat is a great outdoor activity for all ages. It combines a ropes course that utilizes climbing safety gear with a zip lining course. There are several levels from beginner to advanced. Each course has obstacles that require you to walk/maneuver across. The course is designed so your are always locked onto a cable system that is very stable. So, you can "fall" and be okay. I've seen small kids to older people doing these courses and it's a lot of fun. If you are strong/tough, you can still find some pretty intense challenges here. I was sweating on their advanced one because it requires a good bit of strength and balance in some places. But, my 11 year old son managed it. So, it's not overly crazy. Staff are top notch. I've been here about 5 times over the past 2 years and they've always done a thorough initial training and made sure you're comfortable. Also, they have good advice and a positive attitude. Tips/random things: 1) wear closed top shoes. If you forget, they have some extras. 2) they have water and cups at the center hub that leads to the rope courses. 3) free lockers for your phone, wallet, etc. 4) helmets, gloves, harness/gear is provided. 5) you can reserve a time online or just go to Ijams and do it there. I've done it both ways. 6) If you go a lot, they have a membership and punch pass option. 7) they offer evening times and the course is illuminated with Christmas lights. 8) Ijams has free EV charging if you drive an EV. Overall: Love it. Glad we have Navitat in Knoxville! Highly recommended.
