Ruins: Forbidden TreasureThe Escape Game - Berry HillEscape roomIRLThis is such a cool room! It’s huge and there’s so much to do. I did play it once years ago, and didn’t get to do much because my group of 3 was paired with a group of 5, and the men from the group literally broke things, grabbed stuff out of our hands, and physically blocked us (there are a few narrow hallways and the stood in the entrance so only their group could get in). So when we played as just us 2 I had a little experience, but not much. It was awesome with just 2 of us, we were able to see and do everything and the narrow areas weren’t cramped or blocked, the first time I didn’t get to see any of the rooms after the first, so it was cool to see. The room is very immersive and there’s a ton to solve, with some really unique elements.

There's so much to do and see, but every single puzzle was clearly thought out and well designed and executed to flow together. There are definitely some challenging puzzles, but they all make sense which is super cool. I really like that the story and room flow together, it's unique and super cool to see.
Shipwreck CoveMemphis Escape Rooms - South MainEscape roomIRLWe love pretty much all the Memphis escape rooms and this is no exception! One super important note, if you have allergies tell them in advance, this room has some allergens that you come into contact with. Not nuts, just common fragrances. That aside, we were still able to complete the room and had a ton of fun. It’s a really cool, huge room, with a ton of small details. It’s well thought out and planned, and maintained very well.

The DepthsThe Escape Game - Berry HillEscape roomIRLThis is a dark room, but it's still really fun and there's a good story. We did get stumped a few times, but we also did it when we were exhausted already. That said, the room is great and there are a lot of great puzzles that flow together perfectly. The very end was broken, but the GM was there and paying attention so it didn't end up impacting us.
Cosmic CrisisThe Escape Game - Opry MillsEscape roomIRLThis is such a fun, unique room! It felt like being back in space camp, and the puzzles were all super unique and fun. We really liked the overall vibes and all the puzzles, they flow well so you aren't left at any dead ends which is great. The story for this room really makes it though, it has a really fun one.
Gold RushThe Escape Game - Opry MillsEscape roomIRLWe loved this room! It's a great room, and it's cool that they have a wheelchair lift for the stairs so they're accessible. Love the hidden parts of the room, and the puzzles. Everything in this room flowed well and made sense, making it an easier room and a good room for beginners. It's cool because the theming was very well done, so you really feel immersed in the room while you're in it.
Magician's CodeMemphis Escape Rooms - East MemphisEscape roomIRLLove this room! It’s a little older and could use some TLC, but everything works well and makes sense. It’s a really fun room that would work amazingly for larger groups. With 2 of us we definitely felt some pressure, but still got through this quickly. This has some super fun, clever puzzles that we really liked.
Merry Movie ChristmasMemphis Escape Rooms - East MemphisEscape roomIRLThis room was great, we took some escape room newbies and they had a great time! It’s like stepping into a Christmas movie, and had a lot of challenging, fun puzzles. There's crawling and a tiny bit of climbing, and just enough movie references that knowing them helps but not knowing them wouldn't hurt.
