Countdown Games

Overall Time Machine was our favorite room we have played at Countdown! Itโ€™s a simple premise but checks all the boxes for puzzle lovers. Very fun to progress through different decades. We had so much fun that we ended up playing almost all of their games. A special shoutout to Cally especially, for being a wonderful guide and hyping us up. My only complaint with countdown is that GMs run two rooms at a time which can lead to a little delay when clues are concerned and feel disjointed when one person intros, another person gives clues, and another person outros.

60 Minute Escape Game

Let me set the sceneโ€ฆ the owner has a reserved parking spot in the front of the building, right next to a handicapped spot. I wish I could rate โ€œokโ€ because Iโ€™m mainly turned off by this company because of the GM, not the game. It seems to be a common experience at 60 mins Escape to have excellent multi level games with poor service. (Iโ€™ve played both this and Frankenstein with the same result) In the end Iโ€™d prefer an average game with excellent service because the presentation really matters. Our guide repeatedly gave us the same clue when we asked for more help, talked negatively about previous guests in front of us, and told me to stop looking around during his intro. The game however was really interesting and more creative then most stereotypical Egypt themes. If you want to play a good room with challenging puzzles Iโ€™d recommend it, just donโ€™t expect first class service.

Escape Artist Greenville - Hampton Station

Overall this room is my third favorite out of the dreamscape rooms at this location. That being said, it is still and excellent room with fun reveals, It just felt like it fell a little flat at the end. I wish the ending was a bit more dramatic and that some of the cinematic moments didnโ€™t go on for quite so long. Other than that small critique I had a blast and it did feel like a whimsical story. If you liked Yuletide Magic at their downtown location I would liken it thatโ€” a cozy, delightful journey through a childโ€™s imagination.

Great Room Escape - Nashville

As a seasoned escape room enthusiast it is rare for me to find a room that blows me away. The Great Room Escapeโ€™s Spellbound did more than deliver. The set design and puzzle flow was expertly done with interesting twists and turns around every corner and entire set pieces moving. Nick, Solomon, and Flip, our game hosts were incredibly kind and friendly and we even got a chance to nerd out with them about escape room design after our game. I will definitely be back to try out the Zombie room.
