We did the escape prison room. When we got locked inside the room didn't seem like much. We soon realized there was more to the room. The clues were weird and difficult to solve. We definitely did not escape. Due to Covid we didn't get to wear the jail uniforms like we wanted to. It was definitely a mind game and common sense. Take players that you can rely on to get you out. I promise you will need it. read more

Cameron was awesome, great at his job! We had a great experience. The room we did was so much fun! 100% recommend the Cabin. If you're looking for a fun place to go with family or friends come here! read more

Of the 5 escape rooms that I've done, this was my least favorite. If you've never done one before, this may not be the best one to try first. There were literally no directions. The guy gave us the scenario (which is also on the website) and then walked out. Thankfully, five out of the six of us had done one of these games before so we had some idea as to what we should do. I think that their room was not as complex as some of the others that I have done, but each of them have their own idiosyncrasies and challenges. This time, we conquered the cabin (50% escape record). I hear there is also a virus room (40% escape record) as well. As most companies do, Rush offers 3 clues for each team which - if used at the appropriate times - can make the difference between success and defeat. You have 45 minutes at this place to make it out. The waiting area was comfortable and a large jenga game was available for our enjoyment. The waivers could be completed ahead of time electronically, which made the process very convenient. read more

Our escape room team, Team Bad Math, set a new record for Rush Escape Room's Virus room, solving the room in 34 minutes flat. The previous record was over 37 minutes. We set this record on Wednesday, October 5, 2016, so hopefully the record still stands by the time you read this. This was the 5th escape room record we've set in metro Atlanta over the last 12 months. OK, now that my gloating is out of the way, on to the review. Rush Escape Room opened in July 2016 and is one of about 15-20 escape room businesses to open in metro Atlanta over the last few years. Each escape room business typically has multiple rooms. At the time we completed Virus, Rush only had one room. Their 2nd room, Cabin, will probably be open by the time you read this. Booking a room regularly costs $25 per person. We booked through Groupon and paid roughly half that. Here's a link to the deal page: https://www.groupon.com/deals/rush-escape-room. Hopefully, the deals haven't expired yet. We had fun at Virus. I've now played 26 different rooms in the Atlanta area and have yet to experience one where I didn't have fun. However, some rooms are better constructed than others with higher quality production values (e.g. sound, scenery, props) leading to more realistic and immersive environments, more interesting and ingenious puzzles and clues, and alarming or surprising twists. I thought Virus was OK. There really wasn't anything in the room that I, or most of us on the team for that matter, hadn't seen before. The maximum number of people allowed for the room is 8 and we had 7. I can see why they pushed the room max to 8, but it might be better at 6. I felt the room was a little small for 7 people and there weren't enough clues for all of us to be working on something simultaneously. Other rooms might encourage teamwork or puzzles to be solved in parallel, but the trail of clues for Virus was pretty much linear (which isn't a bad thing for smaller groups). Production value was more low budget. That said, I think Virus is great for first-timers or those just getting into the escape room craze. Our team has done 20+ rooms so we've been through our fair share of rooms with a virus, lab, infectious disease outbreak, or zombie apocalypse theme. We're looking for something new and different. Two things that were different about Virus for me: (1) The time limit was only 45 minutes as opposed to the standard 60. (2) *SPOILER ALERT* There were a lot of red herring locks. I'm not sure how I feel about that. *END SPOILERS* Gamers will appreciate that Virus is a huge nod to Resident Evil with Umbrella Corporation logos everywhere along with RE music playing in the background. Rush has a spacious lobby with comfortable seating, giant Jenga to play while you wait, and a small conference room that's used for event space. Along with the Virus and Cabin escape rooms, they also have a "rage" room (#RageATL) where you can suit up and smash stuff -- glass bottles, computer equipment, you name it. That's the first I've ever seen of that type of room in Atlanta. Owner Reece Huber and his coworker were both really friendly and welcoming. All of the escape room owners we've met around town are very enthusiastic about what they do and Reece is no exception. He's energetic and pumps you up. We'll probably be back to try Cabin. :) read more

I booked 2 rooms (cabin and biohazard) for a large group. We split into 2 groups, and everyone had a great time! We were able to solve both rooms in time. The staff was super accommodating, too. We had a birthday and brought a cake, which they let us store in their fridge until both groups finished. There is also giant Jenga in the lobby for guests to play with while waiting. read more

We had such a great time! We did the "Cabin" room and escaped with ONE second left. We used all three of our hints, and the guide threw in one extra one for us. Thanks! :) We made an online reservation through Groupon, and the staff didn't verify our reservation or who we were when we got there. That seemed odd... but thankfully no one took our reservation. Also our game didn't start at the scheduled time (about 10 minutes late) because the previous party started late. The staff didn't tell us they were running behind until we after we caught up with them (they were all in the back room) after our game was supposed to start. So, my recommendations would be to confirm reservations and to let customers know as early as possible if there's a delay. Other than that, we had a great time... and will definitely be back! read more

"Have you ever been to an escape room? It's like interactive theater, but with puzzles." -- The Big Bang Theory: Season 8 | Episode 16 Rush is the newest Escape Room company on the Atlanta scene, but it has changed things up a bit. If you are a regular at rooms, you are used to 60 minutes to escape, but alas, this time you only get 45! So be forewarned. Located in Norcross, just off Jimmy Carter and I-85, in the someone typical office park location, and someone easy to find, Rush Escape Room has only one room so far, with a second one very close to opening. They offer up to 8 people for this room, but there is not a ton of space for 8 adults, or a lot of 8 people to be working on - 6 is definitely plenty for this room, especially for an experienced group. As with the usual rooms, you are given a walkie talkie and 3 clues you can use if you get stuck. Atypical from other rooms, the game master does not seem to be watching you in the room on close-circuit TV. When we asked for help (twice - once, it turns out we didn't need to), we had to tell him what we had found and where we were in process. The theme is virus - find the virus and the anti-virus and the key card to escape. No major backstory is given before entering the room, except our mission. There are a ton of virus and outbreak rooms in the city - save the world by stopping the outbreak. This was in line. The only other thing we were told was that the owner designed this room based on overseas styles of rooms. Having not done any overseas - that didn't mean much to us. ***MILD SPOILERS*** Do not read this if you want to do this room. So my issues with this room are small, but there are a lot of detractors in this room. Locks you don't open, cabinets not involved, and when you open the first main door and fine 6 flashlights, 4 out of the 6 died shortly after turning them on. When you are working an entire room in mostly darkness, the flashlights need to work. There is so much stuff that is never utilized and in a shorter timeframe, that was utterly frustrating. ***END OF SPOILERS*** Overall, we had a lot of fun. We did set the new record for the room at 34 minutes and probably would have escaped sooner, but we didn't realized we had found everything. We do look forward to their next room - The Cabin. A new theme and new challenge. read more

My boyfriend knows that I am ALL about the investigation Discovery (ID) channel, murder mystery, horror/scary movies, thrillers, haunted houses, and Halloween! The scarier the better! I truly can't enough of the thrill of being scared or trying to figure out all of the twists and turns! Usually I can guess the ending of a movie or how someone murdered someone in the show within SECONDS! I was even bragging about it walking into the place and to the guys running the place! Anyways, we did The Cabin room and it was so much fun! There was so many twists, turns, and clues! The escape was exciting and the time limit kept us on our toes and really into the moment making it seem like we really needed to get out NOW! It was honestly a group effort and really showed how well we could work together. It was a challenging course, that required high ordered thinking, but the clues helped enough to where you were able to figure it out and not get discouraged and give up. If you're looking for a large group activity I highly recommend this. This is a team bonding, teamwork, and group activity. It's worth the price. It's no more than a movie or bowling. Heck it's cheaper if you add in the ticket and snacks. It's cheaper than a dinner date and way more fun guys (and she will most likely say yes to a second date!) We will return to do the other challenges AND BEAT THEM (hopefully?) Oh yeah and while you wait they have a large game of Jenga which is beyond cool if you ask me and you can take a photo for social media if you're into that! read more

This was a great experience with my family for a fun birthday event! I'd do this again and it takes teamwork to get all of the clues. read more

My wife and I have done every single one in Birmingham, AL and we've done a couple in Atlanta. We've mostly have broken out but have failed a couple times and that's fine. However this place has been the worst experience so far. No interaction with your game master, it's just go in the room and figure it out. You have 3 hints on the wall that are useful but if you're stuck you might as well walk out. I wanted to, Ive never been to a place that didn't have an intercom or a walkie to help you out when you are stuck. We paid $75 for this experience, which is very expensive compared to anywhere else. Highly unsatisfied, go somewhere else if you wanna have some fun. read more

First-time visitor the place had really good reviews. There were four of us and we were greeted kindly. Did the cabin escape room. Unfortunately the room was not setup properly there was a device we had to use to get the next clue but the device was broken. There was also another clue that was supposed to be in something but it was not there sadly to say the people working at Rush didn't seem to care that the room was not setup properly. They did not apologize or anything and thought we were lying. -- I do not believe I will be back visiting Rush escape room. read more

So much fun! My friends and I did the Cabin for my husbands birthday. We had to ask for one clue (out of three) but made it out with about 8 minutes to spare! We had 5 in our group and I fit in the rooms just fine. It was fun and took teamwork to finish. We are hoping to come back soon and do the virus room! read more

I did the escape room last night with three other people. Three of us had done it before and one was a newbie visiting from out of town. We got there a little before our start time and were pleasantly greeted. While we waited for our escape room experience to begin we had fun playing the giant jenga in the waiting room. This is where the positive part of the experience ended. Another group of four people joined us in escape room. We were given a very brief explanation of what we were supposed to accomplish, nothing that we hadn't already been able to read online. The other folks in the room had never done it before so we actually had to explain it to them a little bit. We were given 45 minutes to accomplish the mission, 15 minutes less than what I had experienced in other rooms. *** spoiler alert from this point on*** we were making great progress in the room identifying the clues. Then we came across a scale with instructions to weigh some wine bottles. The scale was completely unusable. We asked for our first clue because we thought there must be something we were missing and that it really didn't depend on the scale being usable. We were simply told to weigh the wine bottles. When we told them that the scale wasn't working nobody replied. So we kept hunting around for another approach. Giving up about 10 minutes later we asked for our second clue and they again told us to weigh the wine bottles and we again told them the scale wasn't working so they finally gave us the weight of the wine bottles that we should've known at least 10 minutes prior. Fast forward to the next failed clue inside the wine bottles there was supposed to be a note. There was no note but there was a cork. We located a tool to pull the cork out of the bottle, spending at least another five minutes on that. We kept examining the cork to try to figure out what clue was on it. Giving up we called in our next clue. At that time they told us there should've been a note inside the bottle. There was not. They finally read us what the note would have said had it been there. Once we had that clue we were immediately able to progress to the next room. Keep in mind that these "glitches" cost us at least 25 minutes. Recalling that we only get 45 minutes to do solve the room I think it becomes obvious that we simply ran out of time. By the time we did get to the second room we found the note that should have been in the wine bottle in the previous room which was useless in this room making us wonder what else wasn't set up properly and just leaving us all with an utter sense of disappointment. I'm going to end my review now stating that this was the worst escape room I could've imagined. The support staff was nonexistent, did not watch what was happening in our room, didn't answer our questions, didn't listen to our concerns while we were in the room, and then basically didn't seem to care that our experience was awful. Stating that we can get 50% off of our next visit is pointless when five out of the eight people in our room are from out-of-state. In summary it was a very disappointing experience and was not handled well by the staff. ***update after response from company*** we were very clear about our disappointment. Maybe you're confusing us with another group because the other 4 people left the building and drove out of the parking lot before we did, equally disappointed and stating that they would not be back because they were from out of state. *** update number two after follow-up response from company*** unfortunately now this company is just lying. As I stated previously we were extremely clear about our disappointment which is why they offered 50% off our next visit. Considering we paid for an escape room which requires you have the clues necessary to escape the room or at least progress to the next room and we did not receive that service we should have been reimbursed for the in full price or at least received a credit for a full reentry. We were not offered either one of those and as I've stated before we were very clear about our disappointment....VERY. There are so many escape room options in town I suggest you go to another one where you actually get what you pay for and in the event the company messes up they own up to it. read more

Very fun and staff and extremely professional and laid back.... Will definitely return!

That was fun!! If you need an awesome team building experience or a great night out, I highly recommend visit Rush Room. We made it out with 17 seconds to spare. Reese was terrific. Thank you! read more

We decided to have our Department Team Building Event at Amazing Escape on March 27, 2019. The staff was incredibly friendly, helpful and accommodating from the planning stages to the end. The rooms were great, challenging, organized and had wonderful themes. We had three different teams and it was so much fun for everyone to work together and for it also the be a competitive event against the teams to see who could escape with the best times. I would definitely go back to Amazing Escapes and I highly recommend it to others. read more

My friends and I had so much fun! The hosts were great and made our experience an enjoyable one! We will definitely be back again!

We had so much fun. It was 7 of us and our first escape room. Challenging but doable. We were able to complete the cabin room with about 7 minutes left. We loved it so much that we ended up signing up for a 2nd room, the virus. Awesome, you won't regret it. read more

This was my first time doing one of these interactive escape rooms and it was a great experience. I have played plenty of the online escape rooms so I understood the gist of what we had to do. I went with 3 of my friends and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We did the Cabin escape room and I would have to say you need at least 4 people to really have a chance of escaping this room. We got stuck twice and the staff was monitoring our progress and helped us when we hit a dead end. We made it out with 3 minutes to spare and I recommend it to all those who really want a good challenge. I am looking forward to doing the Virus room in the near future. read more

We had such a great time trying this place out last night! It was something different and challenging for us all. Great group activity!
