The Jurassic Project

Another excellent experience from MER!

this escape room felt like some amazing Disney imagineers designed the set, animatronics, atmosphere, etc. BUT some of the actual puzzles were hand-made by Walt’s long lost great-nephew…and that’s not a good thing. Some puzzles were fiddly and wouldn’t register unless they were juuusst so, and the hints on the screen would give the clue that we’d already solved, instead of helping us figure out what was actually wrong with the mechanics of the puzzle. there’s also nothing to jot notes down on, which seems like a small thing, but we’ve got our escape room flow down where one of us breaks a code, jots down the notes, and passes it off to another to input in the right place. maybe that’s just us, and we should be able to do it by memory, but it really made it less enjoyable for us. I also didn’t see it mention beforehand that there would be a lot of climbing stairs and other accessibility issues, so with my chronic illness, that slowed us down. it’s definitely not wheelchair accessible. it’s also very dark. they allow the use of flashlights, so that can help some. (when did I get old?) we did escape, so there’s that! sorry, dinos—you’ll have to snack on somebody else instead lol. Tl;dr atmosphere/storytelling 5/5 puzzle mechanics 2.5/5 puzzle ideas 4/5 physical accessibility 2/5 overall: 3 dino nuggets out of 5 would recommend if you know beforehand that there are some awkward aspects that the company could work on.

Rating: 5/5 - Wow, fantastic, it surprised me in one of the best ways. Must-play for Jurassic Park fans. Here's why this is one of my favorites rooms: ➕ They tout this as a cinematic experience and it does feel that way, it's like you're visiting Jurassic Park. This room would be right at home at Universal Studios. ➕ Set looks amazing, with multiple scene changes and great use of elevation. They spared no expense. ➕ Tons of tech with great use of audio and special effects. There were some padlocks but where they were used made sense. ➕ Some puzzles felt more task-like but to me that adds immersion, I don't like escape room logic. ➕ Puzzles were fun and fit the theme, they had physical/tactile aspects. ➕ Multiple climactic and "wow" moments, it was fun progressing through the game. ➕ GM was helpful when needed The game has some tense moments and loud noises but it's not scary or spooky. I would recommend 2-4 players. My ranking of Memphis Escape rooms I've played starting with my favorite: 1. Jurassic Project 2. Monsters from the Abyss 3. Shipwreck Cove 4. One Night in the 90s

Any time we miss European escape rooms, we remind ourselves of Tennessee. The escape rooms in this state are top notch and Memphis Escape Games easily belongs with the greats. We also love what they are doing to create other gaming experiences. If you are going to do multiple rooms, call them. They are big on rewarding repeat players with discounts. We are enamored with any room that fully immerses you and gives you that sense of whimsy that can only be experienced live. They go all in on recreating The Jurassic… movie. The set was beautiful and there were extra touches (like name tags!) that weren’t necessary but added to the fun and immersion. Highly recommend! What a joy. 🤩 The staff was also fantastic. Owner reached out to us when he saw we had booked five rooms. Everything here is original and built with love, and it shows in the excellent work.

One of the best rooms I've played on the creative side of things. The finale was amazing. I can tell they have put so much work into these rooms. All there rooms were phenomenal.

The first thing I said when walking into the game was “Oh cool.” One of the most immersive sets I’ve seen for a game in quite some time. Lots of stairs which my group loves. The finale was one of the coolest I’ve seen in a while as well!

The game is gorgeous 😍 and kids will go NUTS playing this room but I did feel like it was missing a puzzle 🧩 or two, especially at the end. The videos could also use a better quality do over.

This room is a cinematic experience! I REALLY enjoyed it! The puzzles weren't so difficult that it was impossible to do but they weren't super easy that it wasn't fun either. I highly recommend this room!

Awesome set design like your in the movie of Jurassic park.

Very well themed to the Jurassic Park movie. The set is almost movie level quality.
