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.

GPS gave great directions and we arrived on time. If coming from NC on 40 west, please allow extra time for construction, about an hour. Upon arrival at Legency we were greeted by smiling facing at the service counter. We got checked in quickly, given the run down on the wait time. They do not have lockers, so its recommended you lock your belongings in your vehicle. They do take your keys for safe keeping as certain items are not allowed on the course. The gift shop has a ton of unique souvenirs. We purchased t-shirts, they have a large selection. They sell some snacking items and drinks. The restroom was clean. They have rockers on the porch and a fire pit area to hang out at until its time to rig up. Our instructors Matt and Daniel got us into our harnesses and explained how they work. We loaded onto the bus for a trip to the top. Along the way they explained the course and what to expect. Of the 7 lines, the first 2 lines are beginner lines. Each line gets faster and higher. They gave great instructions , and were very helpful. They put everyone in our group at ease. Also, they are quite funny. Don't tell them, we don't want it going to their heads. Waters were offered , so stay hydrated. It was overcast due to the morning rain, but the views were still majestic. Line 6 was my favorite. The course takes about 2 hours. We have ziplined before, but it did not compare to this. The views over the tree tops, approximately 540 feet were amazing. Everyone we encountered, from the service gals , the bus driver, the truck driver to the instructors were absolutely wonderful. We had a great time , See ya next year

Book this zipline, face your fear. The go pro is a great addition also to have video proof. The photographer also takes great shots of you on one of the lines and a group photo.

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 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.

This was my first time actually zip lining. We bought our tickets day of. Kind of pricey (about…read more$100 per person), but maybe that's typical for zip lining. They put your gear and helmet on, then they drive everyone up to the start of the tour. I think there were 6 total spots we zip lined from. The tour lasted about 2 hours, maybe a little more. The girls working were all super friendly and helpful. They always made us feel safe. They basically do everything for you here, including slowing you down at the end so you don't have to worry about it. At one point I got stuck, but the girl came and got me and I never felt scared. They teach you how to go faster, slow down, and go upside down. They'll also take a few fun pictures of you zip lining that you can purchase afterwards!

My friend and I had the chance to zip-line through the scenic town of Gatlinburg, and it was an…read moreexperience we won't soon forget. After getting fitted with our harnesses and helmets, we took a UTV up the mountain to the course's starting point. The course had six lines in total. The first was fairly easy and definitely helped build our confidence, while the next few gave us a chance to get comfortable and find our bearings. One of the lines stretched over 1,200 feet, and because each was set up as a dual zip line, my friend and I were able to race each other along the way. One of the best parts was the scenery. Flying through the trees with views of the Great Smoky Mountains and downtown Gatlinburg below was an incredible experience. On a particularly clear day, you can even see into North Carolina. Between some of the lines, we also had to cross a skybridge to reach the next section of the course, which added another fun element to the adventure. Our guides, Leah, Gracie, and Kira, were incredibly helpful throughout the experience. They assisted us on and off the lines, kept things fun with their personalities and humor, and made us feel comfortable the entire time as we flew through the forest. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone visiting or spending time in the Gatlinburg area. They'll take great care of you, and you're guaranteed to have a lot of fun. It's the kind of experience that creates great memories, whether you're there with friends, family, or a group.

What a fun day!! We've been talking about going to @defyescapes in Knoxville for a while now to…read moreplay Reel Time Rentals, and it DID NOT disappoint! We loved it so much we played Midnight Monster Madness, then Tracking Bigfoot, and ended with One Hit Wonder. When I tell you these rooms were some of our favorite escape rooms ever, I'm not exaggerating. We had a blast. We finished every room with 15-17 mins left, and only asked for 2 hints total. These rooms are challenging but not 'my brain hurts' level. I even got a free t shirt for my birthday! Our game master was my favorite one yet, and we've had some good ones! We've played over 100 escape rooms and this one is definitely top 3 for me! We're excited to come back to play their seasonal rooms when they open. If you're ever in the Knoxville area (or pigeon forge/Gatlinburg) and want something fun to do, make the trip. You won't regret it!

We've done close to 20 escape rooms at various locations, and this one really stood out -- it had unique elements we hadn't seen before, with just the right level of challenge to keep things fun and engaging without being frustrating. The owner was incredibly friendly and helpful, and even gave us a sneak peek of the other rooms after we finished, which made us even more excited to come back. You can tell there's a lot of creativity and care put into each experience here. We can't wait to return and try the other rooms! Highly recommend Defy Escapes to both experienced players and newcomers -- it's a fantastic addition to Knoxville!
