Fifth time to The Escape Game, first time to this location in Downtown Nashville. Used code "THREEOFF" while booking for $3 off per person (expires 12/31/26). We decided to take on the Legend of the Yeti. We were greeted by someone at the front desk and signed our waivers. After a little banter, we learned that there are three locations around Nashville and the flagship location is in Berry Hill. Our host for the game, Berklee, was fantastic. She explained everything clearly and had lots of positive energy. One of the best hosts we have ever had. The employees even got together to draw us a souvenir postcard. The Yeti game uses the room that had Gold Rush. If you played Gold Rush before, you'll recognize the room layout is familiar, but the puzzles are all new. There are some unique and memorable moments in the game starting at the very beginning. I thought it was the right amount of challenge and we were able to escape with one clue. As usual, there's not enough light in these rooms for my old man eyes. Even with the provided flashlights, we were still pulling out our phone flashlights to assist. Overall, great experience!

The real Monet! LOL

We visited The Escape Game on 12/14, we did The Heist with Lucero as our "guide" AND THEY WERE FABULOUS! We escaped with 12 seconds to spare all thanks to them!! This escape room is probably one of the best I've visited and I will always recommend!! It is hard with 2 people but it is doable!

Had an awesome experience! The room was very well done, high tech, and immersive. It was a decent challenge and we had a lot of fun. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun activity to do with a group and cant wait to try the other rooms another time! Thanks for the fun experience!

I had so much fun doing this escape game. There are so many different puzzles within the game and cool surprises to experience. This is such a fun thing to do and a different activity for your Nashville visit. This is good for families and all types of different group make ups. I want to come back and do the other rooms!

Awesome time with my team at The Escape Game. Staff was friendly and helpful. Rooms vary in difficulty and theme but all were great fun. Located in downtown Nashville it's right in the middle of all the great things the city has to offer. Put it on your list of things to do.

A great option if you have teenage kids. We got tired of walking so we thought we would give this a try and we are glad we did. Very fun family experience. We will be back next time we visit. Bennett was great!

For my second virtual escape room experience (2022), Prison Break with The Escape Room. We were met in the Zoom room by an emcee who greeted us and broke us out to our rooms. There our host played a video to set the stage for our puzzle for the evening and introduced our informant, who was to be our eyes and hands in the real physical room. The bad? I got motion sick. Fortunately, we were in the last room when it started and my teammates were moving along well without me. I wonder if they could steady that camera a bit? The good? The host watched the clock for us and reminded us that we had clues we could ask for. Each member of our team brought something to the table, and came up with terrific ideas. MC Jaziya Host Leo Informant Phoenix Thanks for the good time we had!

Had a great time, while visiting Nashville with coworkers for a conference we decided to try our luck at an escape room, and The Escape Game downtown did not disappoint We'd each done rooms in the past, but really enjoyed the Heist room at this location. It was certainly pretty difficult, but that made it more fun. Our host was Shonté, and she did a great job, only offered minimal assistance as we requested. We'd absolutely give some of the other rooms at this location a try if we ever get a chance again.

30 seconds to spare!

This was such a family fun event. The staff was super helpful and I loved the free stickers at the end. We tried a challenging escape room, and as a family we came together, and I would say this is a core memory for us! Thank you for such a thrilling experience!

48 seconds to spare!

We did the Mission to Mars room with my team from work, and we had a blast. We were a bit early, but Cassidy was a wonderful host; she told us about her favorite games, adventures she had with friends, and she even let us explore one room from another game. Emmaleah was our game guide, and she was so cheerful, clear, and encouraging. We finished with no clues and 48 seconds to spare! The rooms are designed so cleverly. Thank you for a fun evening!

OMG!! This place is soooooo much fun that we did it twice on the same day! The first crew - Connor and Luke - hooked us up with a couple of jail cells. The second crew - Steven, The Chad, and Autumn, had us looking for gold. This was our first (and second) ever experience with escape rooms. They denied it but we know that Connor and Autumn were in the "control room" rolling on the floor with laughter! They really should record and sell the "adventure" as part of the experience. We would've paid $$$ for the video because we know we were hilarious to watch!! Anyway, both crews were fabulous and the experience was awesome! When/if we come back to Nashville, The Escape Game will be on the top of our list of things to do!!!

Is it a physical challenge for older folk?

Hi Lynne! The Escape Game is more of a mental challenge than a physical challenge. If at any point the game involved crawling or sliding, there is always a workaround that one member of the team can complete to help everyone, or a game guide is… 

Is there anywhere to get discount coupons for The Escape Game in Downtown Nashville?

You are forced to have strangers in your group and 2. The game master is in the room with you. I can't even give a full honest review of the puzzles because there were 4 other people (whom I didn't know) in my group and they didn't share the clues they found. So most of the time, I was looking for things and had no idea where in the game we were. As far as the puzzles I was a part of, some didn't work properly. As in, we got the clue, executed the correct thing, but our box didn't open, and the game master had to fix it - cutting into our time. Another clue wasn't pre-set when we walked in the room and the nerf gun we were supposed to use was "jammed" upon finding it and took almost a full 2 minutes to fix. Additionally, being a game master, it is part of the job (and game) to give leading clues without giving a lengthy explanation or giving it away completely. I absolutely hate doing escape rooms with 6 people, it is too crowded and most of the game is spent chasing someone else's train of thought. This is definitely on my list of "won't go back" escape rooms. Disappointed, because it was my boyfriend's first one. Not a great introduction for a first timer, I'll likely have a difficult time convincing him they're actually fun in the future.

The escape game itself was a lot of fun. We did the island escape. It had lots of twists and turns! We had a group of 4; 2 teens and two adults. The game was a good challenge, but was doable (frankly the kids were able to figure things out faster than the two adults!) Our game master was great and really helpful. The only reason I didn't give this a 5 star is because one of the clues was wrong. Without giving too much away- it's a color scheme thing, the clue is in the wrong order. Even when they gave us the clue and told us the right answer after we struggled, the code was in the wrong order. We mentioned it after we escaped, and she said it was a "tricky one" but I believe this one needs to be re-evaluated. It wasn't that it was tricky, it's that the numbers the code gives you and the numbers for the lock are in a different order. Thai added about 10 minutes I our time, so that was kind of frustrating. I'm happy to share details with management to improve this. Otherwise, awesome place, awesome people, and we'd definitely go back!

The twisted, broken trees that remain from the 2024 tornado give a vibe that is indescribable! Perfect for getting you prepared! Instead of standing in line for hours for your turn.... I love how you simply receive a group number and tickets, get some DELICIOUS food, then choose to either relax by a campfire, get pictures in all their coolest photo prop areas, watch videos on a huge projection screen, or just enjoy the night while waiting for your turn to enter. The zombies...OH MY!! I wasn't expecting to get scared before entering, but when you see extremely realistic looking zombies creeping up behind you or crawling out of a casket towards you...need I say more!!! With heart pounding, heightened senses, just entering the barn gets you holding your breath...each room different, never knowing what's lurking around the corners! You can't hold the screams in. Just when you think it couldn't get scarier after exiting the barn, you continue on the SCARIEST trail that goes deep in the dark, twisted woods full of surreal hair raising surprises. You hear the echo's from other groups screaming in terror all along the trail and you know something is ahead but you don't know where!!! Definitely #1 in my book and looking forward to coming back!!!

Was super fun haunt. If your looking for some fun Halloween scares this is your place.read more

One funny interaction we had with the staff - I asked if they celebrated birthdays. They said, "sure!" I asked if it had to be day of or the month of. They said, "it doesn't matter!" Anyways, long story short, no discounts for birthdays and we also did not celebrate the birthday in any manner inside the game room . Went to this venue with 4 of my friends. The game room actually handles 12 people, but in my opinion, that is way too many. I think 6 or 8 split into 2 teams would be an ideal number. Too many people means each person gets to do less. We were luckily paired with 3 strangers that were fun. That's going to be a variable you can't control. The game itself lasts an hour. The game show involves randomly chosen mini-games where two teams compete to score points. I believe it always ends in $$$$$, which is a giant Plinko machine. I think part of the fun is not knowing what the games are. Most of them are word games or trivia games, but there were certainly some more unique ones as well. We had a blast playing this game, partly due to being paired up with fun strangers. Would I come back to do the same experience? Probably not with my same group of friends, but maybe with others. That and some variability in the games (randomly chosen games from a set of 20) would make the show less repetitive. Definitely worth trying once.
