Long before the founding of Cairo, an Egyptian prince fell in love with the beautiful Merit. He vowed that not even death would separate them and built twin tombs connected by a mile-long passageway. For her prince, Merit commissioned the Unification Heart: two halves of the same whole that together contained tremendous transformative power.

Upon their death, each was buried with half of the heart and the promise that connecting the two halves would reunite the lovers in the afterlife. According to legend, an earthquake split the mile-long passageway, forever separating the two and cursing the city that rests between their ancient homes.

As a proud member of Britain’s Egypt Exploration Society, you believe the Unification Heart is more than just a myth. One of your associates telegrams that she has uncovered something astonishing, but when you arrive you find her campsite abandoned. Fearing the worst, you must follow in her footsteps. Enter the mysterious tomb and uncover the heart lest your team share the same tragic fate.

One of the best themed rooms I’ve ever done. This entire location exudes passion. Clever puzzles and fun story mad me for a great experience.

Also one of the best ways of explaining the escape room “ground rules” ever.

Your childhood dreams have come true with the opening of The Jurassic Project—a one-of-a-kind experience that allows people to encounter living, breathing dinosaurs. The park features astonishing adventures like feeding a Brontosaurus, riding a Triceratops, and if you're lucky—watching a new brood of baby Iguanodons hatch. Guests can interact with dinosaurs worry free because it is inhabited only by herbivores.

As you arrive on the island, everything seems perfect. A little too perfect. While you’re excited to embark on this adventure of a lifetime, you begin to wonder if the scientists have been completely honest about their designs and intentions. Is something far more sinister lurking within the park? Find out as you and your team navigate through prehistoric peril in hopes of avoiding the ultimate extinction.

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

The Jurassic Project

Something’s wrong with Mawmaw! The last batch of her yummy chocolate oatmeal cookies were super hard…like a bag of rocks. A casserole she brought over could only be identified as gross mush. And the birthday cake she made for Mom tasted like yucky burnt pickles and farts. But Mom told you to mind your manners and made you eat it anyway—ew!


And that’s not all. MawMaw stopped her weekly phone calls. And when she did call again, she said weird stuff, like she was a character on a TV show. And worst of all? She totally forgot your birthday! Yeah, not even a card!


Enough is enough. So, you hatch a plan with some of the other grandkids to figure out what’s going on. Here it is: ride bikes to MawMaw’s neighborhood after the streetlights come on, ditch the bikes in the park, and then sneak into her house through the backyard.


What will you find over there? She doesn’t seem to be hurt…just acting…weird…so what is MawMaw’s secret?? One thing’s for sure: you came to chew gum and solve this mystery, and you’re all out of bubblegum.

This was between a love and a like for me. The room design and some cool effects pushed it to a love. Some of the puzzles were confusing to us (maybe we were tired…we had already done 2 other rooms earlier). The atmosphere is phenomenal. We definitely want to play it again when we have another person with us. Go play it!

MawMaw's Secret

Can you traverse the perils that await you and come away with the treasure, or will you become another one of the victims of Shipwreck Cove?

Incredible set, super immersive, and it felt like a play set. We had a great time on this ship!

A week at Camp Wasaakee was supposed to be the ultimate summer adventure. But reality hasn’t exactly lived up to the back of the brochure. 

The counselors are the most overbearing, rule-obsessed, uptight people you could possibly imagine. Lights out happens every night at exactly 7pm. Worst yet, you’ve not seen so much as a single marshmallow since you arrived. What good is a summer camp without any s’mores?

This no fun nonsense ends tonight, because you have a plan. Shortly after lights out, you’re busting out of your bunk, breaking into the mess hall, and preparing to have the most epic night of your summer vacation. 

For my elder millennial heart who grew up watching shows like ‘Salute Your Shorts’ and experiencing camp life in person, this room was a blast! It’s so well built and I love the story driven room style that they’re going for. A well put together room with fun nostalgia!

It’s a long told story about a group of hermits. Those lonesome folk that hid themselves away in the back property of the orchard. Never to be seen by public eye and only eating the corn cobs that grew in the nearby fields, the hermits had always been pretty tame. But now they’re looking for a feast. Not the feast of something as simple as corn. Something more filling, something meatier, something human.

Experience this longer, crazier, and all new wild trek through the hidden secrets of Jones Orchard.

Every year for Christmas you struggle with what gifts to get, especially for the kids in your world. But this year, you know exactly what they want: An Ultra Man action figure. It’s THE hottest toy on the market and pretty much the only thing on their list this year. You know that if you can get them one, you’ll be the hero of the holiday season. There’s just one problem: everywhere is sold out.


You’ve checked all the big box stores but no matter where you look, you can’t seem to find a single one! Finally, after hours and hours of searching, you find a rather shady character who is selling Ultra Man dolls…at 5 times the normal price!


As you begin to look into this scam, you realize that the person charging an arm and a leg for these Ultra Man dolls is the store manager for a local toy store, Yuletide Toys. It’s clear that the store manager has been stashing toys for himself and selling them at a high markup during the holiday season to line his pockets with the cash. This cannot happen. You decide that the only way to do something nice this holiday season is to get a little naughty.

You’re going to break into Yuletide Toys after hours and recover one of those stolen dolls for yourself (and the kids). Will your holiday heist be a success or will you be left with nothing under the tree?

Incredible room! Lots of unique puzzles & things to do. Often, we skip Christmas rooms as we feel they are aimed at younger crowds and are easier…but this one kept us engaged the whole time! Recommend to families or enthusiasts!

Yuletide Toy Heist

"SKATE INTO THE 90'S"
It’s homecoming week during your senior year and you and the rest of the class of ’98 have been having a total blast! 

You’re capping off your week of fun with a trip to the local skating rink before the big game.
The music is blaring, the party is jumping, and everyone can tell this will be a night to remember.
*record-scratch* 

All of the sudden, the lights go out, and you hear a commotion by the door.
You see some goons from the rival high school have chained it closed and locked you in!
Totally not cool. 

If that weren’t bad enough, they’ve spray painted “Bulldogs Rule and Tigers Drool” across the door. As if! 
Can you find a way to escape and prove that you’re all that and a bag of chips,
or will you spend the rest of your senior year totally buggin'?

Super fun and super nostalgic! Be prepared for neon lights, skates, and hijinks!
