    We had an amazing time here solving the mystery in the Clue room! Great place, fun mysteries, and a…read moregreat Game Master with Hannah! We solved all the riddles and managed to stop the murder just in time! Highly recommended for small group or a family night adventure! We'll be back to try more mysteries next time we're in town! Highly recommended!!!

    If you hate fun and using your brain, avoid Breakout Games. ;-) Even with just my husband and I,…read morethis was an awesome time! You reserve a room and specific game ahead of time and are not placed with strangers. Perfect in COVID times, as the room is only for your party. At a timed 1-hour, this is a quick and unique activity that gets you actually interacting instead of looking at your phone or another screen. It was a good choice on a date night when we were short on time. We reserved and filled out the waiver online, so the awesome Alicia had us in our Runaway Train room within 5 minutes of arrival. FYI, they legally cannot lock you into a room, so if that was a deterrent from trying an escape room, fret no more! The hour starts by watching an intro video of the chosen game. You walk around and examine everything available to you in the room and clues arise that you then use to lead you to the next clue. If you get stuck, you are able to ask for help up to 3 times from the room moderator over the speaker. We definitely needed the help, as there were a few things we never would have noticed/guessed. We were on the very last step of the game when time ran out. Wah waaaaaaah. Close enough to winning and such a good time that we are inspired to come back soon and try another game. Next time, we will come on a double date or with a group. Alicia said there are a few games that would be fun and appropriate for kids, too.

    We played the Mad Scientist game here two days ago and escaped with ten seconds to spare! It was…read moretheir hardest game and really difficult. We had fun though. It was $31.99 per person ages 11 & up. There was only four of us (ages 38,30,14, & 13), so with a larger group it may not be as tricky. This was our third time playing escape games here, and they have yet to disappoint. We did Diamond Heist first and then the Haunting (which I highly recommend especially for teens and up). The employees here are awesome!! They are friendly, down to Earth, and welcoming. The games here are also much more affordable than those at the Escape Games at the Island. They are currently working on creating two more games as of July 2021, and we are super excited for those to be ready. There are located at Light #3 on Wears Valley Road between Teaster Lane and Parkway.

    We have the pleasure to say we completed all 5 rooms at Smoky Mountain Escape Games. Being avid…read moreescape game enthusiasts, we thoroughly enjoyed each room! There were so many different puzzles to solve in multiple rooms. It was definitely not just rooms filled with number locks! We were challenged yet had a great time. Chris, the owner, is a very creative, friendly guy, and Jacob as well as Bryce were fantastic game masters who were always there when needed. We recommend you visit this business as they deserve all the kudos. Thank you Smoky Mountain Escape Games for entertaining us! We will wear our shirts proudly.

    I've done a few escape rooms in the past and this one is top notch. We did the cellar room and had…read moreso much fun. It was a bit stressful getting started because half our party wasn't on time and we almost had to enter without them. Luckily, the owner was cool and really pushed the limit on our time. Luckily them made it in the nic of time. We went for a bachelor party with a group of eight guys who mostly didn't know each other and half of whom had never done an escape. To be honest, a couple of us may have been a little drunk when we arrived. Needless to say, we didn't escape on time... haha. Definitely arrive early. The entrance is across from Shamrocks on the side street. You walk down a set of stairs to get to the desk. First you fill out waivers etc... and then the game master gets things started. I love the scary aspects of the room and you can tell they put a lot of thought into the clues and building the room. I would definitely reccomend them based on what I've seen so far.

    They only clean the rooms after every other game. They didn't make anyone wear masks and would not…read morerefund us after the people we were locked in a room with for an hour would not wear a mask. They compared it to a broadways show and said they were non refundable.... anyways. Room sucked too. I've done four escape games in the past two months and this one was the worst. Room didn't flow. We got out. But it just didn't really seem to be well thought out.
