There are a lot of rooms to choose from, lots of level of difficulty. We did a number seven, with two newbies and one seasoned escaper. The newbies felt it was up to standard for a seven though the seasoned escaper but it should have been maybe one more. The staff was very nice the room was clean and it was recently affordable.

Hands down the best escape rooms out there! We were only in Pigeon Forge 3 days and did two of the…read morerooms, they were flawless. First, before the room even begins, the staff is brilliant with their customer service, genuine enthusiasm and easy laughter. Then we get to the rooms! They are perfectly laid out for maximum comfort of small and large groups, the puzzles aren't easy but also aren't impossible and the themes are mastered. Hints, nudges, suggestions and directions, all freely given with the push of a button. The game master is in tune with you and your direction throughout the game, offering gentle hints or big hints if you need them. We found the gold in Gold Rush (escaped) and set time straight (escaped) in Timeliner. We would have loved to do a few others but had to hit the road. We'll be back for sure and will seek other Escape Game locations along the way!

We enjoyed it so much we're going back again before our trip is over! They have the best / most helpful clues I've seen yet. I saw some complaints in reviews about people saying clues didn't necessarily help them and one of my teammates said the same thing however if you read closely they're probably pointing out a detail you're doing wrong if you think you're already doing what the clue says, just pay closer attention! Really loved this place!

We played the Mad Scientist game here two days ago and escaped with ten seconds to spare! It was…read moretheir hardest game and really difficult. We had fun though. It was $31.99 per person ages 11 & up. There was only four of us (ages 38,30,14, & 13), so with a larger group it may not be as tricky. This was our third time playing escape games here, and they have yet to disappoint. We did Diamond Heist first and then the Haunting (which I highly recommend especially for teens and up). The employees here are awesome!! They are friendly, down to Earth, and welcoming. The games here are also much more affordable than those at the Escape Games at the Island. They are currently working on creating two more games as of July 2021, and we are super excited for those to be ready. There are located at Light #3 on Wears Valley Road between Teaster Lane and Parkway.

There were so many different puzzles to solve in multiple rooms. It was definitely not just rooms filled with number locks! We were challenged yet had a great time.

We recommend you visit this business as they deserve all the kudos. Thank you Smoky Mountain Escape Games for entertaining us! We will wear our shirts proudly.

I've done a few escape rooms in the past and this one is top notch. We did the cellar room and had…read moreso much fun. It was a bit stressful getting started because half our party wasn't on time and we almost had to enter without them. Luckily, the owner was cool and really pushed the limit on our time. Luckily them made it in the nic of time. We went for a bachelor party with a group of eight guys who mostly didn't know each other and half of whom had never done an escape. To be honest, a couple of us may have been a little drunk when we arrived. Needless to say, we didn't escape on time... haha. Definitely arrive early. The entrance is across from Shamrocks on the side street. You walk down a set of stairs to get to the desk. First you fill out waivers etc... and then the game master gets things started. I love the scary aspects of the room and you can tell they put a lot of thought into the clues and building the room. I would definitely reccomend them based on what I've seen so far.

They compared it to a broadways show and said they were non refundable.... anyways. Room sucked too. I've done four escape games in the past two months and this one was the worst. Room didn't flow. We got out. But it just didn't really seem to be well thought out.

Our host/tour guide/gamemaster was spectacular, she was funny and helpful but never intrusive. Probably the best I've ever had hosting a game like this. Production values and details were off the charts good, and our guide told us the game designer used to work for Disney so maybe that's why/how.

We were pleasantly surprised...it was a super high quality escape room we did, I forget the name of it but it was the one that was in Marrakesh and some kind of market and it was super fun, without giving any spoilers it's one of those games where it's a lot bigger and a lot more expansive than you think. we were three people and they combined us up with two other folks that were doing the rooms. It was actually great and we finished just in time. Time limit was 60 minutes. Great way to spend an hour. We did need many many clues there's a button on the wall that you get to push when you're stuck or struggling but it was cool because the game guide made sure that we kept momentum and that we all had fun. we would come back and try the other games.

Dan treated us so well and immersed us so much in the story! Do the Atlantis room for sure!! You can have as much as a little help as you want, and each puzzle felt so great to solve as long as everyone split up and figure things out. Definitely a must stop if you're in Gatlinburg!

The closed course looked to be the neater of the two courses. The one we had to do was nothing special and definitely not worth the $20 per person price. They didn't even have putting mats to place your balls and a lot of the holes seems to be sloping sideways down the mountain. With a name like Old Mountain Trail course you would think they'd be playing bluegrass or something, but no, they played dance music the entire time.

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!

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!
