AsylumTrapped Escape GameEscape roomIRLWhile this game is extremely basic, that is to be expected from smaller, more local escape companies. What isn’t though, is poor customer service/experience. Game masters not watching the room and helping the group playing is an extremely bad look. Would not recommend this room or location whatsoever.
NashvilleThe Escape Game - Berry HillEscape roomIRLThis room was definitely dated, but my group and I still had fun playing the room even though we spent less than 30 minutes in the room. The puzzles are fairly simple and a lot of current escape rooms tactics do not apply to this older room. The room is well themed and has a few great themed puzzles. Overall the room wasn’t awful, but definitely not the best the escape game has to offer. It’s worth playing, maybe just after you play the other games at this location.
Prison BreakThe Escape Game - Berry HillEscape roomIRLThis was the hardest room at this location. I really enjoyed the gameplay of the room, but it is a very mechanically based room. A few puzzles don’t fit into the room theme very well, but overall the puzzles are unique and challenging. Communication is a huge factor in succeeding in this room as you do start split up. The story is a little weird, but it works. Overall, I recommend this room to more experienced players looking for more of a challenge.
PastaWayMurfreesboro Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLI was an alpha tester for this room and even in the earliest versions it played very well. This room is much more advanced than any other room at this location and is heavily story based. It is an easier room meant for beginners and causal date nights, but is a cool room for anyone to play. If you are a very competitive player you may not enjoy this room as much as it is very geared towards beginners. The story and special effects in the room are outstanding though and I highly recommend this room to anyone. The room is very high-tech with no mechanical locks and the puzzles are all on theme. This is my new favorite room at this location.
Skinner's Box - CLOSEDMurfreesboro Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLI played the first iteration of this room before it was changed. This was a very difficult room especially playing with a bunch of new players. The puzzles were very unique and well themed. The story of the room was intriguing. The room was quite difficult as you and your party were split between two separate rooms without a means of verbal communication. Overall I would recommend this room with older players with experience.
Timeliner: Train Through TimeThe Escape Game - DowntownEscape roomIRLThis was the best room I’ve played by the escape game. The story and design are stellar and I loved all of the puzzles. My friend and I played with two first timers who we didn’t know and we made it out only using one hint. This room was so well themed and had amazing technology in it. I highly recommend this room to anyone.
Special Ops: Mysterious MarketThe Escape Game - Berry HillEscape roomIRLThis game was a really fun time with two of my friends. One was fairly new to escape rooms and she loved it. This room had some of the most unique puzzles and one of the best room transitions I’ve seen. Thoroughly enjoyed this room even though the story was slightly predictable. Recommend 4 players that are old enough to understand whats going on.
The Blind PigMurfreesboro Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLThis room was my favorite at MER. The theming was very well made and the story is interesting. The puzzles were unique and challenging. This room was a bit harder than the other rooms at this location, so bringing some older players with experience is recommended.
Underground Playground - CLOSEDThe Escape Game - Berry HillEscape roomIRLThis was my first ever escape room and it played beautifully. Some of the puzzles and props were integrated over into the new playground room at this location, but they are distinctly different rooms. This room featured some very well themed puzzles and an ok story. The room design was very well made and felt like a kindergarten classroom. Room was perfect for beginners with a good number of friends to play with.
High NoonMurfreesboro Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLThis room was so much fun. It is a competition style room so you can play against your friends and race to get out. The room is non-linear and themed like a western town. The puzzles are all different and some solve directional locks, which aren’t seen often in escape rooms. The hint system is a phone in the corner where you call your room host. The story wasn’t the best for this room, but the gameplay more than made up for it. Highly recommend this room for anyone old enough and in large groups.
Pharaoh's Chamber60 Minute Escape GameEscape roomIRLThis was probably the best themed room at this location in my opinion. The puzzles, like most puzzles at this location, we’re on the weaker side but the theming does make up for it. This room did feature some very cool tech that made the room very fun. I would recommend this room to players that are a bit older and have some experience. Overall this was probably my favorite room at this location.
Apt A / Apartment AMurfreesboro Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLThis was a great room for inexperienced players and veterans alike. This room is more straightforward than others, but the purpose of the room is unmatched. This room was built to honor one of the former employees who passed away. So while the room lacks in story it makes up for in purpose with a portion of the proceeds going to charity. This room featured very fun puzzles with everyday items and games that were well crafted. I would recommend 4 people for this room and most ages could find something to do in the room.
Dinner for 2 - CLOSEDMurfreesboro Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLThis room was an amazing beginner room at MER. The story, while strange, worked for the room and the theming was great. The puzzles were very simple and geared towards beginners while still requiring some puzzle solving. The puzzles in this room were very unique as I had never seen some of them before. This room was perfect for date nights and first time players alike.
Murfree's ManorMurfreesboro Escape Rooms [prev. Locked: Escape Game Murfreesboro]Escape roomIRLThis room was the hardest at this location but was also my favorite. I definitely recommend bringing lots of friends to come play with you as this room has lots to do. The puzzles were unique and well spread our throughout the room and more than made up for the ok story. This room was difficult and I would recommend bringing along some experienced players to join you.
Movie TheatreMurfreesboro Escape Rooms [prev. Locked: Escape Game Murfreesboro]Escape roomIRLThis room was very unique and fun, but it’s age is starting to show. The puzzles were engaging and unique as was the theming. The story was forgettable but the gameplay was quite fun. I played this room with two other people and it played well with 3. The room wasn’t very difficult but was very fun to play. I would recommend this room as it was very fun and the theming was great.
Game MuseumMurfreesboro Escape Rooms [prev. Locked: Escape Game Murfreesboro]Escape roomIRLThis room is very fun if you love video and board games. The puzzles are a bit scattered, but they are all well on theme and a blast to solve. The theming of the room was great. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this room and would recommend it to game lovers in groups of around 4.
AlcatrazHourglass Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLThis was the worst escape room I’ve ever played. The theming was mediocre at best and the hint system was abysmal. The hint system uses an iPad where you scan QR codes next to puzzles to get hints that hurt your overall time. The room host is nonexistent and the hints are awful and unhelpful. The puzzles rarely made sense and most of them were poorly made. I do not recommend this room to anyone under any circumstances. Save your money and go somewhere else.
Fallout Shelter / The Fallout - CLOSED60 Minute Escape GameEscape roomIRLThis room was well themed, but the puzzles were very weak. Overall this was my least favorite room at this location. Very few of the puzzles make sense in the context of the room and many of the puzzles have no indicators of how they work. The story is cool, although basic. I wouldn’t recommend this room, but it’s not bad enough to not play either. If you’re going to play this room, bring around 4 people who have some experience.
Santa's Messy Workshop - CLOSEDMurfreesboro Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLThis room is about what you’d expect from a holiday themed room. The puzzles are unique and on theme, but they are basic at times. Overall this room is very fun especially during the holidays and plays well with 2-4 people. It is beginner friendly and somewhat kid-friendly. I would recommend this room to beginners and Christmas lovers.
Bomb Squad [prev. Undercover Alley]Breakout Games - NashvilleEscape roomIRLThis room was not good. We brought 8 people to the room and that was WAY too many. Bring no more than 4 to this room. The puzzles were weak, the time waster puzzle was horrible and unentertaining, and half the maglocks were broken. The story makes absolutely no sense and the puzzles do not blend with the story. I do not recommend this room, but if you play it. Do not being more than 4 people or you will spend half the game sitting on the bench watching like me.
