    Escape warmup trying to find the speaker on the phone.

    I love the warm up before the actual start time. The whole place was organized and fun. I typically don't like escape rooms, but this one kept my attention where as we did two!

    Fam took me here for a surprise b-day outing. Pretty much from the moment you step inside, the game is on! Wonderfully done and Bobby, our game-master was helpful without giving up the ghost. Many surprises...just when you think you've solved, there's more. We didn't break any records, but we beat the clock. Thank you for the adventure!

    We've done two escape rooms and we have loved both of them. We have kids ages 10 and 8. Both rooms we were able to escape with little assistance and the escape room masters were great. Emily was our escape room master for the second one and she was super helpful and friendly! We will be back!

    Best experience in an escape room ever! We had no appointment set and were accommodated right away. The rooms were so intricate and fun to complete and Derek was the best help! He was super nice and helpful, I would consider him our fifth team partner. Overall, I will definitely be coming back and I would recommend this for everyone! All 4 rooms seem to be a great time.

    Escape Mission Chattanooga is an escape room business located in the Northshore neighborhood of downtown Chattanooga, just north of the Tennessee River near the Walnut Street Bridge. This is a relatively new business, having opened in July 2016. Escape Mission is local and not a chain. It was built by escape room enthusiasts for escape room enthusiasts and anyone looking to have a fun time. If you don't know what an escape room is, the concept is simple: Typically, the way it works is you pay to get locked in a room with other people for one hour. Working against the clock, you and your team must unravel clues in the room and escape before time is up. Different rooms have different themes and storylines. It's kind of like being in a movie or a point-and-click adventure game, but in real life. Your play session is monitored by escape room staff and you're allowed to ask staff for help up to three times per room. At the time of writing this review, the regular price for one game at Escape Mission Chattanooga is $30.90 per person. It's $28 plus $2.59 tax and $0.31 processing fee per person per room. There are three rooms: 1. Bank Heist (hardest room, 15% success rate) 2. Speakeasy (medium difficulty room, 35% success rate) 3. The Hunted (easy room, 40% success rate) We visited on Sunday, January 29, 2017 and successfully completed all three rooms in one day. We started with Speakeasy, then The Hunted, then Bank Heist. Bank Heist was definitely the hardest room for us (it did not help that it was our third room of the day). I thought The Hunted was arguably more difficult than Speakeasy (the success rates for those two rooms are close). My favorite was Bank Heist because it was so challenging yet most gratifying when we beat it. It came down to the wire. One thing that makes Escape Mission Chattanooga unique is its entrance. The lobby/waiting area is actually an escape room itself. You have to figure it out before you can actually enter. I think that's neat. After playing 35 escape rooms to date, this is the first time I've seen anything like it. I'm sort of surprised I haven't seen this idea used elsewhere. As for the rooms themselves, generally speaking, I think Escape Mission Chattanooga does a nice job with them. All of the rooms have background music or ambient noise that is subtle and not overbearing nor distracting. The quality of the rooms is good. For example, the Speakeasy room felt like being in a Prohibition era bar, The Hunted felt like being in a cabin in the woods, and the Bank Heist felt like being inside a bank. Lighting, furniture, props, floor to ceiling, everything is taken into consideration. Something I really liked about Escape Mission Chattanooga, particularly with the Speakeasy and Bank Heist rooms, is our team could split up and work on different clues (divide and conquer). Other escape rooms I've played have more strict, linear paths where the entire group is following one trail of clues or riddles. That's not as fun since it feels as though each teammate contributes less. The Hunted actually starts off with your group getting split up, forcing the smaller sub-groups to work together to complete the puzzle. The start of each room has you "breaking into" each of the rooms. For example, in Speakeasy, you actually start outside of the bar in an alley and have to find your way in. In Bank Heist, you start in an elevator and have to find your way into the bank. We ended up solving Speakeasy in 40:12 (19:48 left on the clock), The Hunted in 41:38 (18:22 left), and Bank Heist in 55:39 (4:21 left). It started getting tense at the end of Bank Heist. We were really on our toes. Overall, I thought the design of the rooms and the clues were smart, clever, and well thought out. Nothing cheap. In traditional escape room fashion, there is a photo area where you can take team victory (or loser) photos after you finish. Escape Room Chattanooga has a lot of funny theme-appropriate props which I really enjoyed. They include bank heist masks and creepy serial killer outfits. If you beat a room, you also get to sign a key and zip-tie it to the chain-link fence outside. Our team, Team Bad Math, signed a set of keys for each room and tied each set together as a bundle. Many thanks to the owners, Eric and his wife, and our afternoon game master Madison, for showing us a great time. We made a special trip from Atlanta just to try these rooms and the visit was worth it. We had tons of fun. Side note: There is a counter on the wall above the waiver tablets which shows Escape Mission Chattanooga's current number of Facebook likes. It is a live working counter. Try liking/unliking Escape Mission Chattanooga on Facebook to see it in action. I think it's pretty cool.

    Definitely a diamond in the rough!! Great for small tense groups, hopefully they will add some new scenarios that would include suspecting someone in your group. Great fun!

    We did it!

    Excellent staff; amazing experience for the whole family! We completed the Expedition: Lost Treasure room and it was perfect for us, as we have only done one other escape room before this. This room was full of twist and turns, keeping the experience engaging and exciting. We will absolutely return back to try the next level up.

    We had a little bit of a bumpy start with Escape Mission, but we are glad we saw it through. We visited their location during the day on a Tuesday. The website said they were open, Google said they were open, so we decided to do a walk-in to see if we could schedule all four of their rooms that day. We drove over and...they were not open. Now it's perfectly understandable that places with smaller staffs may close their doors when they don't have any rooms booked, but this should be VERY CLEAR on their site - we double-checked and it's not. So we called their number and were led to a generic voicemail that made us unsure if we were reaching the business or not. We left a message and while waiting for a response figured, what the heck, let's book their next room online and we will see what happens. About 20 minutes later we received a call back and it was smooth sailing from there on out. So the bottom line here is that it's not only better to call or book in advance, it's potentially required. The facility was easy to find and has affordable paid street parking. Better yet, simply talk to the staff and they will let you park for free out front in the limited spaces they have. There are also a lot of options for escape room refueling and/or debrief beverages - we chose Basecamp Bar & Restaurant which is a rustic little restaurant bar across the street with a great local beer location and friendly service. We didn't get a chance to eat there, but the menu looked yummy. Once the time came for our booked room, Escape Mission was very much open and ready to accept us in style - hairstyle that is! The entry is decorated to look like a salon and once there you receive a phone call informing you that you must solve a puzzle to obtain entry to the escape facility. SO MUCH FUN! Once in we were greeted by the absolutely delightful Miriam and Madison who, upon finding out we wanted to do all four rooms, gave us complete freedom to choose our order. As always, we genuinely appreciate when businesses work with us so that we can experience all their rooms on our own, but no one should ever expect this. All these rooms were genuinely enjoyable. You won't get the "wow-factor" of some of the more polished companies out there, but production design was solid. We did find some puzzle issues, but overall we were able to escape all four rooms within our three hint allotment. The biggest issue we ran into is that we were sometimes able to "jump the puzzle" (get further ahead than we are technically supposed to), which leads to confusion when facing a bunch of unused items. In addition, some props have become worn with time, making them difficult to understand or read. Miriam and Madison proved to be adept and super-polite gamemasters. Communication occurs by calling out for a clue and then receiving your hint through a two-way speaker system. Bank Heist is fun because instead of the usual preventing a bank heist or figuring out "whodunnit," you are the heisters...heistees...heistmeisters. This one is math heavy, but still accessible. Speakeasy was a mix of games and bar, which led a mix of fun puzzles that can be done in parallel. Once again, there is some math involved, but this place is really good about providing calculators and whiteboards. The Awakening takes place in a creepy crypt and is a good choice for those who love the dark side. Escape Mission's best room is The Hunted. It has a unique twist on the whole hostage situation in that you start out in separate cells, but you can see each other. Once in the killer's cabin there were some fun and unique puzzles we hadn't seen before. If you can do one room, we recommend this one. If you have time for a second, do Speakeasy. This is a good facility for beginners - experienced groups looking for a serious challenge may be disappointed. Most of the rooms are family friendly, except for The Awakening, which has some horror movie props and one sound related jump-scare. It should also not surprise anyone to know that The Speakeasy is gangster and booze themed. The Hunted does have a serial killer theme, but there is nothing gory within the room itself. Bank Heist and Speakeasy are readily accessible for those with physical limitations. Awakening has a few stairs to get to the room itself and Hunted involves some crawling within the game. Another fun and unique aspect of this facility is that with every escape, each person gets to sign a key and affix it to the fence outside. This is clever and makes for a great display outside the building. In conclusion, while there were a few speedbumps with scheduling and puzzle design, this facility is worth a visit for their delightful staffs, creative twists, and overall solid rooms.

Long story short, buying 2 of his book counted as passes for a room.... and ended up saving us about $20. The actual game we paid was a blast. As a pair we were about to escape with a few minutes to spare. If I'm in the area, I will definitely retire. The books seem to be pretty good as well.

He understands and knows how to address new clients and their concerns; whether it'd be anxiety or the lack of understanding of how these games work. Due to his charismatic personality and his ability to communicate with others, Anthony definitely encourages and brings many loyal customers to Odyssey. [Facility] 10/10 * From the entrance to the room, the facility is extremely well maintained and clean. There is bathroom that is always readily accessible and available. The furnitures in each of the rooms and seating areas are dust free and clean around the edges. [Games] 10/10 * Without diving into too much spoilers, each game offered by Odyssey are fun, exciting and encourage the use of a lot of brainpower. So far, as of 01/24/2024, my party has only completed 2 of the 5 games and we most definitely plan on returning! Odyssey Escape Game is a MUST-TRY, if you're a new or returning escapee.

They divided us into two teams and had us select our nicknames and team name. Then we headed into the game room.

I definitely recommend for team and friend outings.
