The theming, atmosphere and props were all fantastic (and the redeeming quality that allowed me to give this place a fairly positive review). The puzzles were good, and the interactive elements were really fun and themed well. The staff experience was quite bad (see comments specifically about that). What was a well crafted room was spoiled by a very chatty GM that wasn’t at all congratulatory or celebratory on our escape.

A combination of questionable GM directions, worn-out props, and unsatisfying solves made this a less than stellar experience. We were given a tip early on in the game to bring certain items with us to avoid return trips to the starting room, which led us to assume that we would not need to backtrack. That assumption was incorrect. When asked about how he were supposed to solve the final puzzle, we were basically told it was "guess and check" when in reality it's more likely the props were just too faded to read. We were audibly walked through multiple parts of the game as well, perhaps due to past technical failures or guests not doing the tricks correctly. All of this completely ruined the magic. Hopefully the Pigeon Forge location's updated version fares better!

An excellent room in busy Gatlinburg. Several surprises along the way and some unique puzzles. Great theme - fun time with the family!

One of the more enjoyable games I’ve played. Good puzzles and a good atmosphere. I also like the little shop it is located in.

This was a great game. I can’t give it a love since Gatlin Escape Games are all public rooms. We made sure to book the first time slot on a weekday to lessen the chances of playing with others. Thankfully, it worked. The game play and puzzles were really good. We’ll, until the last puzzle (more like a task, that bruised the arms of my partner). Other than that, we really enjoyed this room. There are stairs, so this is not a handicap accessible game.

Fun room. I would say the minimum number of players for this room would be 3. A couple puzzles were very fun.

This is a great room and maybe among the best in Gatlinburg.

Wow! Is all I can say about this room. Such time and mechanical skill is what this room consisted of. I really felt like I was in the world of stage magic in an old theater. The level of detail and immersion with each puzzle/room was exactly what I was looking for. If you love Magic and next level rooms, then look no further!
