    Came in today with some friends to try our luck at these very popular escape rooms challenge. Rashad was our host for today. We decided to choose the Atl escape room, which we thought would be fairly easy. The room was mainly themes from landmarks of downtown Atlanta. We was joined by several other people, which made the escape a bit more interesting. I mean just to see how others react in a timed managed situation. HILARIOUS!!! Also if you have someone with you that don't like being in small spaces shouldn't come to.these type of events. And another thing if you have somebody in your party or even some one that joined your party that hogs everything. Meaning trying to solve all the clues be themselves "Basically a wanna be know it all" things like that take can take the fun out of trying to solve the puzzles together. So I recommend not asking them to come along. We did escape with 25 seconds left on the clock. I don't want to say to much about the rooms, because I think that will give away some of the escapes secrets. But I did have fun and we are definitely coming back to try a more difficult room.

    Me, mom and my birthday bro.

    We loved it! It was our first time coming here. We love puzzles so we wanted to come for a while now. It was challenging but really fun. Make sure to put your thinking caps on! The staff was nice, helpful, but the bathrooms needed to be cleaned a little better. We will be back again!

    Rules.

    Ultimate Escape Game Atlanta is like many other room escape games in metro Atlanta - it's a lot of fun. If you've never played a room escape game before, here's how it works: You and a group of friends pay money to be locked in a room full of clues. Working against a timer, you must unravel the clues to escape the room. If you escape before the timer hits zero, you win. If not, you lose. These games are fun because they put you in dramatic, movie-like situations where you and your team must work against the clock to save the day. The rooms typically have a story or theme. At the time of writing this review, I've played 15 different rooms at 8 different businesses in the Atlanta area. They are: Ultimate Escape Game Atlanta (Galleria 75) Room Escape Atlanta (Tucker) Mystery Room (Duluth) Paranoia Quest (Downtown) Mission: Escape - Atlanta (Loring Heights) Amazing Escape Room (Sandy Springs) Escape the Room (Downtown) Breakout Atlanta (Peachtree Corners) I don't think you can go wrong with any of the above escape rooms except for Mystery Room which, in hindsight, I no longer recommend due to the overall quality of the experience there compared to other places. The other places are fairly equal in terms of production quality with Paranoia Quest perhaps winning in that category. Room Escape Atlanta, host of the popular "Trapped in a Room with a Zombie," uses cheap, low-quality props. However, they make up for it by having a real-life actor in your room at all times. Depending on the actor, this can positively or negatively impact your experience. Ultimate Escape Game does not utilize any actors. The stories are very simple, bordering on non-existent. Then again, I've only played one room here so far: Hackers. Currently, there are 5 rooms at Ultimate Escape Game. Here's a list of them along with the business's recommended maximum number of players per room: 1. The Vault - 7 players 2. Hackers - 7 players 3. Atlanta - 12 players 4. Amnesia - 7 players 5. Enigma - 12 players The regular ticket price is $29.68 per person ($28 + $1.68 Cobb County sales tax) which is roughly the standard going rate for escape games in Atlanta. I haven't seen any deals online for Ultimate Escape Game Atlanta, but I haven't looked either. Some of the other places like Room Escape Atlanta, Mystery Room, Paranoia Quest, Amazing Escape Room Sandy Springs, and Breakout Atlanta have offered terrific deals online through Groupon, LivingSocial, and Goldstar. These discounted prices work out to be as little as $10-15 per person. Definitely jump on those deals if you see them. Note: If your group doesn't book all the spots in a room completely, there's a chance you'll be teamed up with another group and you'll have to tackle the same room together. It would be nice if the rooms had difficulty ratings so newbies and veterans are better informed before booking a room. For our visit to Ultimate Escape Game Atlanta, we had a group of 16 people and split up. Half of us took on the Hackers room and the other half the Atlanta room. We had one more player than recommended for Hackers (8 players vs. the recommended 7), but I thought it turned out okay. Details in the mild spoilers section below. ******* BEGIN MILD SPOILERS ******* Please don't read this section if you don't want *anything* spoiled for you. An employee said it would be okay if we squeezed an 8th player in for Hackers. When we first entered the room, it felt too small for even 6-7 people. Eventually, we unlocked additional rooms which gave us more space to work with. Unlocking additional rooms is common in escape games. There were a total of three rooms to solve in Hackers. I thought the puzzle-solving design was unbalanced -- the most unbalanced multi-room escape room I've played up to this point. We spent about 30 minutes solving the first tiny room and then only 15 minutes solving the next two bigger rooms. Despite the room being called Hackers, there really wasn't a lot of "hacking" to be done. There were a couple of computers we had to use and a GameCube console with a working game that turned out to be a red herring. There were no "Do Not Touch" stickers on the controllers. I was convinced since we were in a cyber-themed escape room and we had to use computers in the first and third rooms that the GameCube game, located in the second room, must've had a clue in it. It didn't take me long to find a six-digit numerical code by exploring the game's pause menu. I was disappointed the game was merely a decorative distraction. In that case, I think "Do Not Touch" stickers placed on the controllers would've been appropriate. ******* END MILD SPOILERS ******* Finally, I've noticed Ultimate Escape Game Atlanta has the nicest, most spacious waiting room and well-lit photo backdrop of any escape room business I've been to yet. The photo backdrop even has professional studio-style lighting. Other places should take note. TL;DR - I enjoyed it and would come back.

    Perfect set up for my birthday after we escaped!

    "Go on... give us a clue." -- Doctor Who: Season 2, Episode 11 Hello, it's me again. Your resident escape room junkie. So much so, that my friends planned a surprise escape room for my birthday. That's love (and addiction) for you! This was our first visit to UEGA and we were not disappointed. There were 16 of us, so we had to split into 2 rooms (Hackers and Atlanta). The start times were supposed to be 10 and 10:15, but since we were having cupcakes and mini-celebration for me after, they delayed the 10pm start for Hackers to 10:15 so we would all finish around the same time - super nice of them! I guess this was doable since there was no one else coming in after us? Hackers is their beginners room - having learned this after the fact, my group should have gone into the Atlanta room. The Atlanta room is their "level 4" room. Note: I have since emailed and asked for a listing of the rooms and the level of difficulty as we want to return and do something more challenging. To me, this should be A) on their website when you are booking and B) explained when you call to book and/or when you show up. Especially if this is your first time trying to do an escape room, you really don't want to be doing a level 4 or 5 room. The response I received this morning: Hacker- beginner room Vault- 2nd level Enigma- 3rd level Atlanta-4th level Amnesia- hardest room and not for non novice players 7% escape rate So I think they mean Amnesia is not for novice players as novice means inexperienced. But you get the idea. The Game Masters, trying to be helpful, allowed 8 people into Hackers and this is really too many. I could argue that the max should be 6 (not 7) as the starting room is tiny! And I'm not just saying that because I am claustrophobic. There isn't really enough to work in any of this escape room for 8 people, much less 7...6 is plenty. My regular team (Team Bad Math) went into Hackers with a couple of additional people. ***SPOILERS*** Do not read this if you want to do this room. So Hackers is described as "Stop a notorious hacker organization, neutralize a computer virus attacking vital intelligence systems across the globe and save the world from a cyber war." From that description (on their website), it sounded really cool and made the rest of my team really want to do this room. But that was about it - nothing in this room really had that "hackers" or "computer virus" feel. Yes, there were a couple of computers involved, but otherwise nothing else really felt like we needed to save the world. Again, the first room was tiny (there was a small box where we could store our belongings, nice) and there was a whiteboard provided to write clues down. We were given a walkie-talkie and 3 clues we could call in for help if we got stuck. We did use 2. There were a few detractors, which is not a surprise, but there seemed to be more than in most rooms. We did have technical difficulties in the first room and had to call for technical support when the computer had a freak out on us - but the Game Master did stop the clock and come in and fix it. My biggest complaint had to be that items were used in multiple places. This is unlike any other escape room we have done before. This is one of the clues we had to use and call about. That can be pretty frustrating with you are accustomed to a standard of a "use it and set it aside" mentality. ***END OF SPOILERS*** After our escape (we escaped with 14:06 left on the clock), we were asked to sign the walls/floors with our names, etc. Our Game Master gave us paint pens and we went and signed the floor outside the Hackers room (look for Daniel B.'s photo) and then went back to the prep room fish bowl to wait for the other half of our group who were doing the Atlanta Room. When we walked in, they had set up the cupcakes my friends had brought for my birthday and had also put out a bucket with ice and sodas/waters, and a bowl of fresh cut fruit. There was also a couple of tiny disco balls spinning and a nice sign that read "Happy Birthday." They took pictures of us with all the props they have in the room (I'm sure others have posted them" and once everyone else joined, we did a group photo. Unfortunately, the Atlanta group did not escape, but we still had loads of fun. We definitely plan on returning for another room - a more challenging one - and now know their rules and game play is different than most.

    This was an absolutely amazing experience! Loved every second of it. We have one in Nashville, and we've been there. So when we went to Atlanta, we decided to give it a try. Went through a Vault room. I absolutely recommend this fun activity for everyone! So much fun!!! I will be back to go through other rooms.

    What a great time these rooms are 1) first rule ... What happens in the room stays in the room. Things can get a little "aggressive" when dealing with a group of people in a tight space. Out of all the rooms I have been to this is the cleanest, largest, most organized. Kelley was our host and she was a big help and made things fun ! I can't really say much about the rooms without giving away clues so I will say that we did 2 rooms A) The vault B) Hackers I think hackers was harder than the vault but both were fun. Keep in mind you can not use any outside source like cell phones This is a great way to bond with friends, co workers or family. There is a maximum of 7 people but we had 6 and it gets a little hot in the rooms. We were stripping off clothes cause we got hot Try it I think you will love it

We're still talking about it the next day and staff allowed us to take pictures. I really want to come back and try the other rooms. Hopefully y'all have promos soon so I can make it happen as it's a little pricy (but so are all escape rooms) Only downside is that it was a little difficult to find.

After playing The Heist, I noticed that escaping the first room simply involved pressing a button. Since I had seen that mechanic before, I tried the same thing in Prison Break, and it worked. My cell door opened immediately, so I had to pretend it was still locked. I think there should be a more immersive way to escape the cell than having a green "exit" button within arm's reach of a prison cell. Cosmic Crisis was my favorite room by far. It was interactive, futuristic, and included some really fun elements like shooting spaceships. I don't want to spoil anything, but it was a great experience. Overall, I've had positive experiences with both the rooms and the employees. However, after playing Cosmic Crisis, we were told that if we booked another game that night, we would receive 20% off and be upgraded to a private game. We booked Prison Break for a future date and time based on that offer. Five minutes before our game, we received a phone call informing us that a group of three strangers would be joining our supposedly private room. I explained the situation and reminded them that we had been promised a private game. (Knowing the premise of the Prison Break room, fewer players actually make the experience more enjoyable because the game starts with people separated into two small cells, and the space can feel too small.) The employee said he would "talk to us" about the situation when we got there. He also rushed us to arrive exactly on time, saying the game would start with or without us and that the other group would begin anyways if we were late. Despite that, everyone ended up waiting 15 minutes because the room wasn't ready yet. We were rushed for no reason and still had to play with strangers. At the end of the game, the employee with glasses and light brown hair asked to speak with us. Unfortunately, he didn't offer any real solution. He simply said we could have a private room next time! The problem is that we had already played all the rooms we were interested in, so that offer has little value. When a business makes a mistake, the solution shouldn't be to promise to get it documented correctly for a next time, it should address the inconvenience that already occurred. Despite this issue, I still enjoyed the escape rooms themselves and had positive interactions with the rest of the staff overall. My frustration comes specifically from what was supposed to be our last, best game here. Luckily the strangers were very nice and did not take away from our experience, very blessed.

This venue is in the perimeter area near target and the forum. There is street and garage parking available for free. There is a separate entrance from the forum. When we arrived we were offered beer and wine. Then the game hosts came and introduced themselves and provided instructions. They divided us into two teams and had us select our nicknames and team name. Then we headed into the game room. We played several different games like wheel of fortune, family feud, and price is right. We had so much fun. After the games we returned into the first room and had food. I definitely recommend for team and friend outings.

As someone who is a big scaredy-cat, I asked my friend to call to see if live actor was scary, and they assured us that it was not scary. I can say that they were true to their word! We had Tanner as our live actor / guide through the experience. He was very immersive and passionate about the role. This was my first time doing a room with a live actor, so I don't have a point of comparison. I personally didn't like the way clues were given, but others may appreciate the banter and silly actions Tanner was doing to lead us in the right direction. I thought the addition of "crisis" moments was a clever way to reward strong players. My main issue with the room was that it was linear. At no point were two groups of people working on something simultaneously. That means that if you have more than three people, some members may be standing around. There was also one puzzle that is solved solely by trial-and-error, which is poor design. For the price, I had higher expectations in production value. The best part of The Grand Zeppelin was the ending, and I do want to commend Tanner for providing us with an immersive experience!

    Beat the Bomb is such a fun, interactive experience! I came with my boyfriend and we had no idea…read morewhat to expect - the structure of the game is that you play 4 mini games that last 10 minutes each. The better you do in these mini games, the more time you're awarded to "beat the bomb". After you go through your 4 games, you suit up into the hazmat looking suits, step into a room with all the paint, and you have as much time as you've accrued over your mini games to beat the bomb! If you don't beat the bomb, you'll definitely get splashed with the paint, but if you do beat the bomb, you get the option to get splashed or not (but why would you ever pass on getting splashed???) How I see it, the mini games are split into 2 categories - 2/4 games require more brain and memory, and 2/4 games are more active. They alternate them, thankfully! My only complaint is that the wristband scanners in one of the rooms (the audio/visual room on the left side) felt a little jank. We had to attempt to scan multiple times before it would read. Teams are minimum of 2, maximum of 6, so ideal for a date activity, a small group of friends, or a family! It was so fun to receive our photos and videos back! I'm glad that this is included in the base price, as usually getting any type of photo/video back is an upcharge. Would highly recommend this unique experience

    Very fun experience but unfortunately the customer service was left to be desired…read more We showed up 20 minutes early for our reservation as instructed in the intro email, but we ended up waiting 1.75 hours for our spot in addition to the initial 20min. A heads up would have been really good bc we had plans after but had to cancel them. One of the rooms weren't working (our 2nd game) and one of the staff told me we would have to come out of the experience and wait another 30 minutes if we wanted to get it fixed bc there were other groups right behind us. That was a weird response and solution. Then a nice male staff member saw us waiting and said "oh that's silly, I'll hook yall up" and fixed it for us so we could continue. Shout out to him for just doing what was logical but also being nice about it. At the end of the experience, we waited 30m for our video to pop up and never got it. We ended up getting another groups video. The staff said to just email HQ. I emailed them and never heard back. So what should have been a 1hr event turned into a a cumulative 4+ hr event. The concept was great and I'm sure other groups have a great experience, but they were battin pretty low on the day we came through.
