The staff was great. The problem is we had no instructions to begin, the technology was faulty and we were told after our time was over when we asked how a certain thing worked that we did it correct several times. but nothing changed, advised us to go to the next step, etc. Our guide was very slow to give us a clue. When time is crutial a clue should be fast, instead it took 3 to 5 minutes to get the clue. That's too long. Also, they should have noticed we were having techinical issues and performed the task correctly prior to saying we will watch the film later to find out what happened. For the price was way too high for 1 hour. I have paid less and had 2 hours in an escape room. Also, the size of the roof was the size of my closet. A tenth of the size of other excape rooms I have done. Sure hope they improve and get their equipment repaired because they're nice folks. read more

My family and I enjoyed our experience at Murfreesboro Escape Rooms! We did the Purrrfect Crime room and had a blast. Of course, we are a little biased because we love cats but the theme was so fun! There were a few things they could improve on and we had to get quite a few free hints from the game master that I don't think anyone would figure out on their own. They could probably tighten up their storyline and clues for the room so it's not as confusing at some points but overall we had fun and that's what counts! Also, parking was a bit of a nightmare. Their parking lot is very small and was completely packed so we had to park in the lot across the road by IHOP. Would definitely be back to try more of their other themed rooms though! read more

Went with my wife, daughter and son in law. This was my first escape room. Had a blast! We did Murfrees Manor, got out with a little over 15 minutes left. I recommend going here for a very good time!!! read more

Such a great first experience. This place is so cool and the staff is awesome. I have always wanted to try an escape room, I'm so glad I did... we will be back! read more

See all

IF ONLY... Murfreesboro Escape Rooms has great ideas and designs for being a locally owned escape game. But their Achilles heel is in their execution of gameplay. I have now experienced 3 of the 4 rooms at this location (Game Museum, Movie Theater, and Purrfect Crime), and the issue I run into every time is gameplay being interrupted by issues in the rooms' functionalities. The ideas used for their different puzzles are always well thought out in their theming, connection to the whole game, and variety of solving skills needed. BUT a clever puzzle is only satisfying if you aren't dealing with technical difficulties. I've found that games here often come with an added level of frustration, when the puzzles have some issue in their setup/programming/installation that cause the player to second guess what they are doing, even while performing the correct action that should solve the puzzles. To me this is a quality issue that should be remedied thru ongoing play testing where customers can review these rooms after their experiences. I for one have many notes on simple fixes that would eliminate some of the common pitfalls here. I've also noticed when talking to the game masters after room completion, that they are also aware of some of these play issues, which makes me wonder why they haven't been addressed/fixed. Altogether, MER is a good location to enjoy a game, but it could rise from good to great if only the wrinkles that trip you up were ironed out. All escape games have hurdles. Flaws in the game itself shouldn't be part of the obstacles. read more

I took my family here to get out of the house and try something different. We didn't have a reservation, as I wasn't sure about the time we'd arrive. We went to the other Murfreesboro escape room location but they were booked. They informed us of the Locked location which is only about 5 minutes away (with traffic). The Locked location staff was also friendly and explained the rooms to my family (kids included). We booked a time, went to dinner and returned ready to solve the game. They remind you to go the restroom prior, which is helpful. They explain how to use all the locks and they are very patient when questions are asked. They were a few things broken in our room, but I appreciated the disclosure. The kids enjoyed the experience. Hints were given when they saw the kids struggling. We didn't escape but the experience was wonderful. Everyone wants to go back, which we will. And they have ample parking out front and on the side of the building. And they blast the a/c, so bring a light jacket. read more

Not the most modern escape room. There is no video intro or safety videos. A prop in the movie room was broken. The place could use a few updates. Feels a little overpriced for the lack of technology and working equipment, but still nice. Our game master, Abby, was great! Really helpful with the clues. I enjoyed her as our host! This wasn't so much of an escape room as it was a "find the hidden secret before the time runs out" room. As a family, we had fun! My kids were very confused in the beginning, but once we got past the first few puzzles, everything went smoothly. read more

We had so much fun at Murfrees Manor!! Beth is the best game controller. We laughed and danced and we will most definitely be back!

Ohhhh my gosh, we had such a great time! Abby and Sav were so fun and helpful. I would definitely go back to Locked Murfreesboro. Thank you for helping us have a great Mother's Day. Would be 5 stars, but we were all hot in the room. read more

We did the Movie theater room. It was super cute. Puzzles were fun, flowed well and were very logical, and I loved the unique theme. Nice change from all the prison breaks and spy missions. read more

Locked is okay. My family and I have been to a few of the escape games, in the area, and enjoy them. The staff at Locked was friendly, but less than enthusiastic, like they just didn't want to be there. We chose the Movie Theater room, and it was decent. Not too easy, not to difficult. Like all escape games, you have the opportunity to get three clues, if you are really stuck. One thing I did like about Locked, is that if they see you are struggling, they will give you a little hint that does not count toward your clues. We worked our way through the room, and did escape before time was up. Our game master was waiting at the door, looking bored out of her mind. She walked us back to the lobby, and offered to take a picture (we politely declined). Then she showed some enthusiasm, as she handed us punch cards...if you do five rooms, you get a free.... wait for it.... T Shirt. Seriously? If you're going to do punch cards, that offer some sort of "prize", make it something that people actually want. A free game, or even a discounted game. Not the chance to be free advertising for you. We will probably try another of Locked escape rooms, another time. read more

Such a fun experience here. The staff is so friendly, informative, and supportive. The Egyptian Tomb was well organized with props for our challenging game. This game was designed for 2-8 players and 6 was recommended. We had 4 in our group, had lots of fun, and were able to solve the clues just in time. We'll be back for more. read more

We did the Egypt themed escape room, the game itself was fun and the puzzles and riddles were neither too easy nor too hard and were enjoyable to solve. The only thing about this escape room that keeps it from being 5 stars is the easily visible low budget props and room. The room we were in was covered by sand colored tarps while other escape rooms fully cover their rooms to match the theme of the game. I had previously done an Egyptian themed room at another location and the room they had felt like I was actually in a tomb, other than the poor decor the staff was very friendly and the game was fun. read more

This was my first escape room experience. Now There is no question of what to do when friends want a night out! We had a blast and the staff was great! I can't wait till next time! There were 3 of us. Maybe a fourth would have been helpful. Up to 8 can play at a time. We got some extra hints from the staff, so that made up for there being fewer of us solving clues. The clues were not too easy and not too hard. read more

This was our first visit to Locked, but my fiance and I are far from new at escape games. We have played 11 different rooms, at 6 different companies and are well-versed with how they work. If you decide to play you will love it, but be prepared to be addicted and spend quite a bit of money playing. :) We played the Egypt room, and it would have to rate in the top 3 companies we have tried. The two of us played on our own and escaped with 9 minutes remaining. All the pieces worked well, and there were moments of challenge, although it was far from the hardest room we have played. I was impressed considering it was in Murfreesboro, and we will definitely be back to play the other rooms. read more

This place rocks. A lot of good detail and realism. The clues were broadcasted on a television which is very realistic and we felt very alone trying to do it. Was a great team building experience and the prices were very reasonable. He worked with us on the price and the time and blocked the schedule for our time. They have a few different rooms which is also nice. I always wonder how these places can get by with just one or two rooms but building on and adding more options would be awesome. Over all this place was great and I definitely recommend the Egyptian room. I also recommend bringing as many people as you can get and splitting up in teams. read more

super fun, family oriented and overall a really good time. worth every penny

This place was legit. I've done a couple of escape games before and this is a quality establishment...some escape place are trash, not here. Lucas, the owner was fantastic to work with. We were a little late and he was very understanding. As for the game itself...he was very attentive to us and the game play was awesome. Will try out Franklin location next. Had a great time, highly recommend! read more
