Memphis Escape Rooms has so many unique rooms and the employees commitments to their little acting roles makes the whole experience worth going to! This underground area has lots of rooms. From the nostalgic One Night in the 90s, to your potions in Magicians code, a Christmas themed, and even a room that has 2 play-outs to it. We haven't done the one that has 2 versions yet, but I'm told it's epic! You really can't go wrong with any room with MER! read more

I had some difficulty finding this place at first put everything worked out. The place is actually in the basement of the building so look for the Escaped Room sign on the side of the building. Parking can be tight so try to car pool if you are coming during the busy hours. The staff did a good job explaining the room to us along with giving us hints at the right time. I really enjoy escape rooms. Good team building exercise. read more

Just wanted to update and say that Memphis Escape Rooms has only gotten better over the years! Their new rooms are somehow even more spectacular than their old rooms, and there's always something new! This has become a birthday tradition for both my husband and myself! read more

This was probably the most immersive environment I have ever been to. It is set up to look like you're inside of a magician's tower. There's a cool video before hand explaining the storyline. Then you get to work out the puzzles, which had a good amount of technology involved. The only things I didn't like was they gave us a ton of hints, even before we really had a chance to struggle too much. It got to the point where the people with me were begging them to stop because they wanted to try and solve it on their own. Sooo that was a little frustrating. The only other thing is one of the last puzzles was glitched and the technology wasn't working that great. It took longer to solve because the wand hadn't been calibrated or the sensor wasn't picking it up well. I'm glad we had a lot of time left at the end or else it would've been kinda stressful and far more upsetting if that had been why we hadn't been able to get out. Besides those issues, the rest of the room was really cool. There were enough puzzles to keep our group of four entertained. We often swapped puzzles when something wasn't working to figure out what we had messed up. It was a lot of fun and I would come back and try another room sometime. read more

We took some young couples to the Memphis Escape Rooms in East Memphis and had a blast. The staff was very courteous and receptive and the room we were was really neat. It is ingenious how they create the stories and place the clues around the room. We did Shadow Manor and it was great! This is a great activity for couples or families (14 and over). Highly recommended. read more

they have wonderful escape rooms i have been there twice and both times it was really fun and clean 10/10 would recommend

EPIC!!!! NAIL BITING FUN!!!! This was my first escape room experience. BOOK HERE: http://memphisescaperooms.com/pages/book-a-room What a rush!!!!! In most escape rooms around the world, you're given one hour to solve a series of clues, riddles, and puzzles to ultimately escape the room. While you're in the room, there is a timer counting down to the end, which really gets your adrenaline pumping. You're all detectives using various skill sets to uncover each clue. Skills include: Logic, analytical abilities, curiosity, intuition, and more. It uses ALL of your senses. As you solve one riddle, it leads you to the next. It's kind of like a scavenger hunt. The Memphis Escape Rooms allow up to seven people per group at $20 each. They're planning to have five different escape rooms at this location, using up to three rooms at a time. There's a "Mayflower Room," a "What's in the Box Room" is available, they're planning a "Halloween Room" and more. During my trip here, another group canceled at the last minute so we only had four people in our escape room. Most groups that escape have the full seven people. It's absolutely exhilarating! read more

I just escaped 'Magicians Code' - OMG our of over 15 rooms I have attempted to escape from this just jumped to the top of my favorite list!!! Amazing theming, awesome unique puzzles. Some rooms just feel the same (find this key, and this key and that key) - not this room - everything was fun to solve. If you like escape rooms you will love this one for sure!!! read more

Great rooms with some surprising puzzles and fun tech. Also an amazing and friendly staff. I definitely recommend them for a good time!

Shabby. Needs a makeover. Not at all what I anticipated and hoped for, as it was my daughter's birthday, plus it was pricey. Not worth my hard earned cash. read more

Memphis Escape Room was an incredible amount of fun! I begin by explaining what the Escape Room is, since I was a little hazy on the details going in. Basically, escape room is a story puzzle. You and up to 6 other people are placed in a locked room with the objective being getting out of the room. The story puzzle we did, "What's in The Box," involved figuring out the combination to the lock on a box that, in the story, belonged to a recently deceased millionaire. In order to figure out the combination, the group must solve many many other puzzles which eventually lead to the correct combination. The catch is that you're not given a road map to follow. Just placed in the room and try to figure it out. A computer will give you clues along the way if you're off base. I went with my brother, his wife, and my friend visiting from out of town. Up to 7 people can play at the same time, so if your group doesn't use all 7 spots, other people may be in the group with you. Since we only had 4 people in my group, we had a couple join us. I loved this experience, since they were wonderful and contributed greatly to the puzzle solving process. The hour (50 min) went by so quickly since we were talking and actively thinking the entire time, and afterward we all really enjoyed de-briefing with the team and the guy who worked there (who was nice and engaging). The cost is $20 per person and I thought we definitely got our money's worth given the amount of fun we had. There are currently only two story puzzles, but they open a new one on Friday 9/25 and the guy said they're going to do a Halloween one as well. I will definitely be going back to do the rest of the stories. A final note, the place can be tricky to find since it's in an office building. From the parking lot, walk towards the building on June road. There's a stairway that leads to the bottom floor of the building. Go in the door and into the hall, it's on the left. read more

Love this place!!! I had such a great time and had SO MUCH FUN!! I've been wanting to check this place out since it opened and finally went for my first but definitely not my last time. We did the "What's in the box" room and escaped! Honestly I was nervous at first and didn't think I was "smart" enough and had no idea what to expect. Then a friend invited me to go and I couldn't turn it down. You don't necessarily have to be "book smart" to do well and contribute to the escape, but you definitely have to use your brain. No real physical activity is involved. Teamwork also helps a lot. I plan on doing the Mayflower room next and then Parallax when it opens. The staff was super friendly and cool. After we escaped the room we got to just sit around and joke about the whole experience and ask plenty of questions. Don't hesitate to go if you're on the fence and if you have no interest I hope you change your mind and experience the thrill of the escape. As soon as the door closes...IT'S ON! read more

Memphis Escape Rooms - WE ESCAPED!! Can you?? - Escape Games Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

We so enjoyed our experience! The staff are very friendly. We somehow did not get all the instructions on where the exit was so we didn't realize we had escaped even when we did!! But it was a blast and will definitely go visit their other rooms! We escaped the Mayflower with a minute and fifty seconds left! They give you a number of clues (and hints if you get stuck!) to try to find your way out of the room. You have an hour to piece everything together and unlock the clues. Most rooms are for seven people, but the Halloween one I think is ten. We had a little trouble finding them but they said they are working on signs--just consider finding the office space your first mystery of the evening! Park in the dark parking lot, go down the dark stairs into the poorly lit building. It's sketchy but worth it! :) read more

This was awesome!! So much fun! And I'm super proud to say my group won the game with 55seconds to spare!! I forget the name of the room but it was the one where you're going after a serial killer. We'd heads about this kind of game in Nashville last year. So when we saw it was available in Memphis we knew we had to go. The rooms here sound great and we enjoyed the one we did. Not gonna lie it was frustrating but that's cause we missed a big clue for several minutes. We ended up needing lots of clues. But it was still exciting and great!! This is definitely something you should do. read more

I have successfully escaped Mayflower and What's in the Box. Both rooms and the puzzles are great, and tell a very interesting story. Looking forward to escaping more rooms. It is a great value for the money at $20 a person. I do recommend booking the whole room with a group of 5 or more friends, or run the risk of being partnered up with other people. The staff is extremely friendly and are very creative in their designs. I will say the place is a bit difficult to find if you're unfamiliar with the area. It's an office building adjacent to an apartment complex, and is located at the bottom of a stairwell. The only signage is a small white sign in the grassy lot of the building. #ArtCo read more

We had a fabulous time at the Memphis Escape Rooms. We did the Atlas room and successfully finished it with 2 minutes and 29 seconds left. It challenging, but fair and solvable with the right amount of thought and effort. If you are looking for something fun to do in Memphis, then you should give Memphis Escape Rooms a try. read more

This was so much fun! My team escaped the Mayflower room with 7 mins left! I highly suggest going with a group of 6-7 people to ensure success. The clues given are just right, hard enough to be challenging, but not too hard that you want to give up. Do it! read more

Memphis Escape Rooms - Our team! - Escape Games Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

This was my first time trying an Escape Room. Several people recommended Memphis Escape Rooms which has 2 locations:: 1 Downtown & this one on June Road in East Memphis near the intersection of Poplar & Yates. We took a group of 8 adults to celebrate 2 birthdays. We went on a Saturday night, which is not recommended unless you pre-book your group as their rooms are booked quIckly on weekends. This place can be hard to find. 1010 June Road is a business office complex, & Memphis Escape Room is located UNDER the buildings. So, you'll be looking for a staircase leading to a door that opens to a hallway. There's no signage directing visitors where to go. You can consider this your first lesson in being observant. There is a handicap entrance around the side of the building opposite the staircase entrance. We were informed of that AFTER we completed the room, and a member of staff saw that we had a group member using a cane. It would have been nice to know BEFORE she tackled the steep, narrow staircase outside. Due to it being a Saturday night, the rooms we wanted (Shadow Manor & Magicians Code) were booked solid (SOLD OUT) So, the staff recommended "Parallax". We were not told, however, that it was their "hardest" room with only a 33% Success Rate. Our group was comprised of ALL fIrst-timers. So, probably not the best room for beginners. We did have an extra friend show up, which violated their 8-person room cap, but they allowed our 9th person to join our room. The room was not as obvious as we all thought it would be, & our group floundered for about 15 minutes. The staff monitors the room, & they put clues on the timer screen if your group just is completely lost (which we were!) Many times, our group of 9 was completely lost and seemingly out of options. "Parallax" is a highly cerebral puzzle room. We saw groups of young children there for other rooms, but I would not recommend "Parallax" for groups of kids under the age of 13. There's absolutely nothing inappropriate or scary (A few surprises, but nothing jumpy or scary) If you have people in your group that are physically limited or sensitive to flashing lights, I highly recommend talking to the staff about your room choice prior to selecting a room. I wish we had done so. All in all, it was the most fun I've had as an adult (with the exception of going to DisneyWorld) Our group has decided to make this a monthly event, & I can say that other venues will have a hard time topping Memphis Escape Rooms. Their staff was eager, friendly, encouraging, and quick. If you're thinking of trying an Escape Room n Memphis, go to the best: Memphis Escape Rooms read more

I really liked this place. The staff was nice, the entrance room was a nice open space to prep. The clues in the room had a wide range in difficulty and style. I've done several rooms in several places, and I'm always impressed with places that have new challenges. I also really love that they didn't make everything so linear. You don't follow one clue directly to the next, directly to the next. Things built on each other and you collected some clues, to put together later. They also don't give out hints, easily, which I think is important. The room was challenging, but a lot of fun. I wasn't too go back and try out another room. read more

We had so much fun trying to escape the "Shadow Manor" room. There were some minor inconveniences during the escape (i.e. VERY sensitive alignment and timing requirements to unlock certain secret spaces) but the clue masters were very helpful when we got stuck on puzzles with technical issues. There are a few exciting moments of startlement, but it made the experience so enjoyable. If you escape, you get to give your team a name and have a chance at making it onto their scoreboard. In addition, they have a ton of fun props (oversized trophy, wrestling title belts (lol), and a sign displaying the time left on your counter). Tips: 1. The East Memphis location seems to consistently be about $5 cheaper than the downtown location. 2. The East Memphis location is a little hard to find. They are inside a multi-suite office building at Suite 100. The door might be locked, just knock. read more

Too much fun and frenetic energy in these great escape rooms. Awesome rooms with great cluemanship from teammates. Great for team building and birthdays. Definitely will do it again. read more

One Night In The 90's room was a huge disappointment! Terrible in fact! We have done several escape rooms at Memphis Escape Rooms and they have been fun and challenging because they were creative and well done. This 90's room was anything but! It was one room of many, many...TOO many combination locks, and each task to get a code was similar to the last. There were several tasks that clearly needed the staff to be paying attention to when we got something right and they obviously were not so we had to do it over and over and then finally ask for a clue, then wait several minutes just to get the combination given to us...which was the first combination we tried. They just missed it and didn't light up the next clue in time. There was no effort or creativity put into planning this room. For example: There was a series of letters we needed to use to spell out in different colors and instead of having random letters to have to actually figure out the word it was the same word in 3 different tasks. That's lazy planning and not creative. Most tasks were like this. The next to last task was supposed to produce something out of a "gumball machine" and it didn't work. We looked toward the camera and said it was stuck. So one of the staff came in and very rudely said "what do you mean it's stuck?" Proceeded to get it unstuck, rudely handed us the item and told us exactly what to do with it. She was rude, which is simply unacceptable. This was for a 14th birthday party and the girls spent most of the time frustrated, not bc they couldn't figure it out but bc things didn't work properly. I could go on and on about each and every task/puzzle, but just know...This room was very disappointing because it was poorly done, especially for the price! read more

We have done this three times so far, and have had a lot of fun on each occasion. Most recently we went with two other couples who had never done an escape room before, and they had an absolute blast....far exceeding their expectations. The less said about what escape rooms are the better. In short, you and a group (better if its friends!) are "locked" in a themed room, and have to solve several puzzles to escape. It is a lot of fun. The staff is helpful and friendly, and the rooms are well put together. This is an excellent activity for a group that is different than anything else you've experienced. It is a good teamwork activity, and is a great way to interact with your friends (or strangers!). And, the best part is that everyone can participate and help solve the room. I can't recommend this highly enough. read more

I have followed Memphis escape rooms since they opened here. Definitely one of the better escape rooms out there. However, Escapology Memphis takes the cake as far as best in town. The playability aspect of Memphis Escape Rooms is the toughest part for me, most of the time it feel like the puzzles have little or no connection to the theme of the room. However, the Egyptian Tomb room was a fun experience. And even with the little quirks I was able to get over it. Still a big improvement from the past experiences there. read more

Very fun time October 2017! Although our room (pennywise the clown) was broken. The clues we kept getting correct but nothing would happen. The guy monitoring is saw this and had to interrupt and force the door to open for the next clue. It happened twice. But we ended up winning all the clues and it was a lot of fun for a date night or just a group hangout! A wedding party went before us and they definitely had a blast! I know because they told us over and over and over and OVER again!!!! Lol read more

Awesome experience I even screws up and booked it for the wrong day they called me and said no problem.

This is such a fun activity for you and some friends. We didn't really know what to expect. In fact, I was a little nervous thinking it would be claustrophobic but it wasn't at all. We did the Mayflower room and escaped with 4 minutes to spare. So fun. We were all so jazzed and proud of ourselves. Great activity for all ages. Highly recommend. One criticism is we got there at dark and it was poorly lit. Hard to see and no light on at the entrance which had steep stairs. That's truly dangerous. read more

Memphis Escape Rooms - We got a picture when we got out! - Escape Games Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

My wife and I visited this escape room several times. We've done four rooms so far and have been to both the downtown and East locations. Our favorites were Magician's code and Lost pyramid. The other two we did were Jester's revenge and Memphis. The staff is good about hints which is nice because it is nice finish rooms. The rooms are beautifully built. Nice, clever puzzles and stories. Really requires a mental work out. Some of these rooms are so nice and beautiful that I would play them again. I can't wait to finish all the rooms, we only have five left (until they create new ones). I think we found our new favorite activity. read more

HELP ME IM TOO DUMB FOR THIS PLACE. I went with ~10 people, 2/10 (including me) were running around the tiny room singing spongebob melodies bc nothing I find is a clue or new! Don't go alone, don't go in a small group, and don't go with me. Great place, hilarious staff, fun for most ages, but I will never go again lol read more

We went as a group from school and our group split into 4 teams and each team picked a room. My team picked parallax and we absolutely loved it! It was a total blast, the staff were all polite and acted as if they were genuinely excited to have you there. You first watch an intro about your room with all of the rules and are then put into your room. Each room has a button you can push if you have to leave or are feeling sick or claustrophobic and can re-enter without any penalty besides lost time of course. The rooms have a tv that tells you hints if and when they are given, and your current time left to escape. At the end, if you get out, they write your time on a whitrboard and let you take a photo with variois fun props. Overall it was a great experience and I have a blast along with all of the other groups from Houston High School. I definitely would recommend this to everyone! The worst thing that could happen is that you have a blast like us! read more

Such an amazing & fun time! Definitely going back. I recommend everyone check this out.. Very awesome entertainment!!! The staff is so very friendly. It's definitely worth 10 STARS! read more

Did The Mayflower room over Christmas and it was so much fun! My whole family did the room and it was very challenging but not unsolvable!

SO FUN! Great family outing or team-building excercise!

First time visiting this place. Staff was friendly, great experience, lots of fun. "word of advice": don't pick the most difficult room for your first visit. The rooms are more challenging than they seem. read more

One of the harder rooms we have done! We recommend the James Bond room for sure!!! Thank you Lexie for the awesome time!

I came here with my friends and family and we had so much fun! Three hours before our 11 pm appointment we decided on trying out an escape room and we were not disappointed. We did the Mayflower challenge and enjoyed every second of it -- in fact, we talked about it and strategies we could have used, for days after we escaped (btw, we escaped with less than two minutes to go). The staff was very friendly and they gave us great tips during the actual challenge. The only negative thing is that it's far from downtown Memphis but I think they're opening another location here at some point :) read more
