“This room was an absolute blast! It really felt like we were immersed in the jungle, and the set design was phenomenal. There was one puzzle that was a bit challenging for us since it relied on some trial and error, but it didn't take away from the overall experience. The finale was especially exciting—the combination of the puzzles and the music made it incredibly fun and exhilarating. We had a great time and would definitely recommend this room!”

“This was a lovely escape room! The train car setting was well done, and it was filled with fun, clever puzzles that kept us engaged throughout the experience. One of the highlights was being able to travel between different time periods, which added a unique and enjoyable twist to the game. I also loved how creatively the room used the train windows as part of the puzzles—it was a really clever design choice. I think this would be an especially great room for younger players or families, but we still had a fantastic time and were able to escape. Overall, it was a fun, creative, and memorable experience, and I'd definitely recommend giving it a try!”

“Wow...where do I even begin? This room is absolutely incredible. It's incredibly clean, detailed, and immersive—I genuinely felt like I was in a real restaurant and kitchen. This game combines three of my favorite things: escape rooms, murder mysteries, and Italian food. The storyline is creative and engaging, and the puzzles are varied, clever, and satisfying to solve. It felt fresh and unique from start to finish. This is their newest room, and we waited until the initial rush of escape room enthusiasts had experienced it before booking. It was absolutely worth the wait. It's easily one of my top three favorite escape rooms I've ever played. As always, the staff at this location is phenomenal. The customer service is outstanding, and you can tell the team genuinely loves what they do. Their enthusiasm makes an already amazing experience even better. I'm so grateful I got to experience this room before moving away from the Nashville area. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable escape room!”

“I love that Nashville is the site of new games ! It’s extra fun to play rooms where they are developed. This is a kid friendly room, challenging still, lots of running/matching/searching. We play rooms with our friends kids sometimes and this one would be perfect for a family because it gives them tasks to do while still being enjoyable.”

“Really fun room as we have completed gold rush before and they repurposed the room for this new room. Lots of fun puzzles primarily mechanical which we enjoy. Great for families as we had our two children. Some novel puzzle experiences and a must do for any The Escape Game lover.”

“We really enjoyed this escape room! The atmosphere was fantastic, and the design and puzzle mechanics made the experience feel incredibly immersive. The puzzles were clever from start to finish, with creative mechanisms that kept us engaged the entire time. The final escape task was especially fun and made for a great ending. This is definitely one of my favorite escape rooms we've done!”

“We loved this room! It's a great room, and it's cool that they have a wheelchair lift for the stairs so they're accessible. Love the hidden parts of the room, and the puzzles. Everything in this room flowed well and made sense, making it an easier room and a good room for beginners. It's cool because the theming was very well done, so you really feel immersed in the room while you're in it.”

“Completed as a duo and while this room is probably best with atleast 3--4 people, we enjoyed the added challenge for a couple of the parts that our group size provided. very technical heavy room with a lot of cool moments that we had not seen before. we liked the inversion of the mission and which made it feel really fresh.”

“First and foremost, Buffy the GM was great! The experience, including set design, puzzles, flow, story, and mood of the game was so well thought out! Would highly recommend this room to other experienced escape room enthusiasts! And rock on Escape Goats! 🐐 🤘🏼”

“Played this game twice and what a wonderful game. Yes, it's the most common escape room theme, but it's also from The Escape Game who knows what they are doing. You need some co-op play (so recommend 3-4, although 2 could theoretically do this) & this game (unlike most) is more Shawshank Redemption than generic escape room. Beautiful flow and amazing use of space. It still holds up almost a decade later.”

“We really enjoyed this room! We played it as part of a birthday celebration with a group of eight, which was definitely more people than I'd recommend. Even so, we all had a great time. The set design is incredibly realistic and immersive, making it easy to get drawn into the experience. About halfway through, the room takes an unexpected turn, and that ended up being our favorite part. It was such a fun surprise that made the experience even more memorable. Highly recommend this room!”

“This was a really great escape room, especially when it came to the set design. The environments were immersive and made the experience feel realistic as we progressed from room to room. I'd say this is definitely one of their more challenging rooms, but it's still very doable with good teamwork. I always enjoy escape rooms that separate the group at times and require communication to move forward—it adds an exciting challenge and really highlights the importance of working together. Overall, this was a standout room and definitely one of the highlights at TEG. I highly recommend giving it a try!”

How Do Escape Rooms Work?
Remember those point-and-click adventure games where you’re locked in a room and have to solve puzzles to find the key and escape? Those online games were the original inspiration for the live escape rooms you’ll find all across the world today. An escape room is an immersive experience where you (and your team of 2 or more people) are locked in a room with a series of puzzles for 60 minutes. To escape and win the game, you have to look for clues, solve the puzzles, and find the key. While most escape rooms only give you 60 minutes to complete the challenge, others may have shorter or longer time limits. Many venues are private rooms where you and your team are the only players. However, some places may pair you with other groups who booked a slot at the same time. And don’t worry about getting stuck, asking for hints on a difficult puzzle is totally normal. While the original escape room (created by SCRAP in 2007) had a fairly simple aesthetic, today’s escape games often take you into a different world. Artistic set designs, secret doors, and unique interactive elements are all part of the fun. It’s like an adventure game that you can interact with in real life. But if you’re hoping to preview any rooms before you book a game somewhere, detailed images and videos can be hard to find. To keep the puzzles a secret and preserve the experience of seeing the room for the first time, most venues only offer a few photos or a short trailer about the room’s theme or narrative. The only way to know what it’s like is to go and try it for yourself!
