Davy Jones’ LockerExit 4 Escape Rooms - ChattanoogaEscape roomIRLI’ll preface this with: This game is fantastic, not sure why it has any dislikes!! Great game from a great franchise- and the owner is very personable and hospitable. Local people with local staff and very high standards for how their games are run. Out of all the rooms here, this was my favorite.
Origins: The Zodiac FilesParanoia Quest - BufordEscape roomIRLI must say this room is in my top 5 played. It has everything that makes me happy; top notch narrative, interactive and integrated puzzles, great flow and stunning visuals. Customer service was also particularly great for this experience, as our GM definitely made it special. This story is chilling, one that has just the right depth without drowning. There was no word vomiting to explain anything, no outlandish premise, just a fantastic story that was revealed as we went. I was truly enraptured with the characters, even though they were introduced only a sentence or two before. Very unique start, separated into two groups, which makes the first part challenging, and a daring solo moment for those brave enough. Our customer experience was also fantastic, but that’s standard with this company. 11/10 experience. Would highly recommend to newcomers and enthusiasts alike. Justice for Rusty!!
Nautilus - CLOSEDproject escape room Escape roomIRLThe flow of this room just didn’t make a lot of sense. Lack of story, and puzzles that didn’t have much in the way of cluing led to a very non-linear experience, which is normally fine, but you have no idea of what to do next. Running back and forth between rooms that have seemingly nothing left in them seemed to eat away our time, which we spent more frustrated than actually solving puzzles. Also, there were several puzzles that involved the same four colors, which made it confusing to determine which solution went with which puzzle. It’s like they tried to make it non-linear, but ended up making the game super confusing instead. The GM boasted of only 20% success rate, but that’s not really a good thing, in my eyes. It looks great though. Set is awesome.
