The Hub was pretty empty when we got there (Saturday 1 PM) and restaurants were closing
Aila J.

So fun!! This was the first time I've ever done an escape room, and I did it with my partner who's also a novice at these. We ended up doing the room called The Launch, which actually is supposed to have 8 roles (LMAO it was just the 2 of us). They were really flexible though, and we ended up going through all the roles' puzzles except 1, which I believe was the Technician because it was longer than the others. You have the option of doing a competitive mode with only 3 hints and a casual mode of unlimited hints. We wore our masks on the entire time and I believe they clean the rooms between games (as they got rid of a certain element due to the difficulty in cleaning, which didn't end up hindering the game). The person giving us hints was Emmanuel, I believe, and he was SO nice. (Thanks for putting up with our incompetence haha.) First, I was worried we wouldn't finish in time because we had an hour to do the puzzles, but Emmanuel added some time (I heard the 5 min countdown twice, and the 1 min countdown twice as well) which was super nice. I think it still would have been fun if we lost but it hits different when you get everything, you know? Even if it's a pseudo-victory. It makes you want to come back and leaves a good feeling after an intense hour. The puzzles themselves were super fun and I LOVE science fiction, so The Launch was perfect for me. The premise of it is that you have to escape Mars since there's a sandstorm and there's a list of tasks to do before launch. Don't want to spoil too much but it was definitely well thought-out and creative! The only reason why this isn't 5 stars is because some of the contraptions didn't work 100%, and we needed some hardware help from the workers because things weren't working the way theysupposed to. It wasn't a big deal, but you could tell how worn some parts were from wear and tear. It would have completed the experience if those parts worked! Finally, this place is located in the Hub at Peachtree Center, so you can grab a meal with friends before/afterwards! Thinking of coming back when they have new rooms (hopefully)!

Time to Escape. Escape room business located inside The Hub at Peachtree Center.

We had fun at Time to Escape at Peachtree Center, but it wasn't without its hiccups. I'm glad there's another escape room option in Downtown Atlanta and I think it's great it's at Peachtree Center which has been making improvements to "The Hub" (the retail section with shops and restaurants) in the last few years. If you're looking for a fun activity to do, I recommend this place. At the time of writing this review, Time to Escape has two locations in town: this one and the original location in Brookhaven. The original opened in 2016 and this location opened in fall of last year (2018). There's also a location in Chattanooga. Currently, this location has three rooms: 1. The Grand Zeppelin (2-15 players) 2. The Launch (2-8 players) 3. Saving Christmas (1-8 players) Yeah, it's May and they still have the Christmas-themed room going (nothing wrong with that). From what I've read, the plans are to have four rooms total at this location. When we visited a week ago today, the business still looked very much under construction. The Grand Zeppelin room sets itself apart from most other escape rooms in Atlanta for a couple reasons: (1) It features a live actor. (2) It can fit 15 people. That's a lot. Maybe too much. I wouldn't mind coming back and trying that room. My friends and I are escape room enthusiasts. We've been doing escape rooms regularly since 2014. We had seven in our group for this trip to Time to Escape. Between the seven of us, we've done a total of exactly 200 escape rooms (I've done 59 myself), so we have a lot of experience under our belts. We've done three rooms at Time to Escape's Brookhaven location: Escape from Alcatraz, King Tut's Tomb, and Al Capone's Speakeasy 1929. Like the Zeppelin room here, the Speakeasy room in Brookhaven featured a live actor when we played it. Live actors almost always elevate an escape room experience. At this location, we took on The Launch. The premise is you're on a Mars base in the year 2039. A sandstorm is coming so you have 60 minutes to launch your spacecraft and head to Earth. If you don't launch in time, you get stranded. Between The Launch and the three rooms we did in Brookhaven, I have to say Dan (Daniel C, the owner) and his team do a great job with the room concepts and designs. Over the years, I've noticed the quality of escape room designs has gone up in Atlanta. Owners are investing more into their rooms and making them look better. The Launch had a nice planetary base and spacecraft look and feel to it with ambient lighting and music. I think I heard the soundtrack to the space opera video game series Mass Effect while we were trapped inside the room, but I could be wrong. There were control panels, robotics, computer displays, and more. In general, I think the set design at Time to Escape rooms is above average. As far as giving this experience three stars ("A-OK") instead of four ("Yay! I'm a fan.") or five (Woohoo! As good as it gets!"), it's because we ran into multiple technical difficulties with the room. Without spoiling anything, examples include some objects not sticking like they were supposed to and some lights on a panel that were not working as intended. We notified the staff about these problems and they told us they would add the issues to their maintenance list. Also, while we were in the room, the staff switched on us. At first, it was a man helping us out, then it was a woman. When the woman tried to help us (we asked for a clue), we had to catch her up on where we were. These things slowed us down. In the end, due to the issues described above plus our own inability to solve certain puzzles, we had to switch from "competitive" mode to "casual" mode. Yep, you can change difficulties. After 59 rooms, this was the first escape room business I've encountered to offer this option. When you're in competitive mode, you get the escape-room-standard three clues. When you're in casual mode, the staff can help you out as much as you want, almost to the point of basically walking you through the room and straight-up giving you answers to puzzles. When it was apparent we weren't going to win in competitive mode, we asked to switch to casual mode and were eventually given the launch code to beat the room. I noticed the staff also added a little bit of time (perhaps a couple minutes) to our countdown timer so we could finish the room. That was nice of him. Our group had an extended debriefing afterwards to discuss our thoughts on the room and what went wrong (both on our end and on the room's end). We talked about it for longer than we normally do. Part of it had to do with switching to casual mode and completing the room without solving every puzzle, which we've never done before. One person in our group asked that we nix Time to Escape from our potential escape rooms list, but I wouldn't go that far. We agreed that The Launch was a tight fit for the seven of us. Ultimately, this one left us shrugging our shoulders.

Escaped the Zeppelin Room!
Lindsey T.

The steampunk Zeppelin room was SO much fun! Live actress Lily made it such an enjoyable immersive room. Good balance of physical puzzles - definitely good for visual people, not too much math. We made it out with 15 minutes to spare with just two of us!

This was my first visit to an escape room and I'm looking forward to checking another one out soon! This is located in Peachtree Center "The Hub" next to Salata. It looks pretty small from the outside but they have several room environments so looks are deceiving! We took Marta but as with any visit to Peachtree Center you can find ample parking nearby in adjacent lots and decks. Our group of 6 were able to easily book day-of for a Saturday escape. We had a group of teenagers and 2 adults so we opted for the "Saving Christmas" option. Online booking was simple and it ended up being $22/person which wasn't too shabby! When we checked in we were asked to sign waivers (the adults) on an iPad and were whisked back to our room. A team member explained what we could/could not do, how to get "clues" and overall rules to play. We started with a Christmas book and then we were left to our own devices... The clues were unique and required different ways of thinking which we had fun figuring out. We didn't escape although we were mere seconds away so if Christmas doesn't come this year, forget you ever read this review ;)

Jenny R.

We went to Time to Escape to celebrate my daughter's 12th birthday, and we absolutely had the best time! We did the Great Zeppelin, where Duncan really helped make the experience amazing...letting the girls figure things out on their own, but helping with subtle clues as needed. He was kind and patient and really made for a great addition, having his character in the room. We will be back! Thanks, Time to Escape, for a wonderful party!

Also, the heater's cord was short, so we couldn't move much and had to stay right next to it. Maybe adding a second heater and a hot chocolate station in the igloo, along with some music, would make the space feel much cozier and nicer.

This is the same building that houses popular Atlanta restaurant Empire State South on its ground floor. Ever seen the movie The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)? This place reminds me of the scene where Leonardo DiCaprio and Matthew McConaughey had lunch, high above the Manhattan skyline. Video: https://youtu.be/wM6exo00T5I. It's got an old-fashioned, formal, elegant setting; like a nice country club without the golf, tennis, and swimming pool. In other words, it's a city club and it's got some magnificent views of Midtown. There were several beautiful spaces to the club and I believe we had access to them all. The entrance had a coat check and was nicely decorated with wreaths and Christmas nutcrackers. There was a small study in front with an absolutely gorgeous Christmas tree. The main doors led to a bar area with lots of standing and seating room. The bar connected to various dining rooms/spaces (I counted five). Just about every room had terrific views of the city. There was also a covered patio with tables, seating, heat lamps, and illuminated snowflake decor for the holiday season. The patio is the best place to take in the views. Photo: https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/the-peachtree-club-atlanta?select=C8BsutGj3QGmsegeybIrjA. The patio is located on the north side of the building, so the main view faces north up Peachtree Street towards the PwC tower. One criticism I have about the patio is the coverage wasn't very good. Our party took place on a cold, wet Saturday night (6pm to 10pm) and drops of water were still falling onto us from above. Another small critique I have is there were only two heat lamps for the entire patio and one of them wasn't working (it may have run out of gas). A nice touch I liked was the basket of shawls placed by the patio door in case anyone needed a wrap for warmth. Catering was not provided by a third party, but by the club itself. There were four dinner stations set up inside. Two were manned. I liked how the stations were spread out to avoid crowding issues. I believe the guest list was about 120-130. The bar got pretty crowded during cocktail hour, but spacing was more comfortable once dinner was served. Seating was a bit tight at dinner. The tables were white tablecloth with candles and centerpieces. Here were the stations and menu items: Asian Station - Vegetable fried rice - Chicken sate (satay) with peanut dipping sauce - Thai vegetable noodle bowl - Pork pot stickers with dipping sauce - Fried wontons - Edamame with sea salt Rudolph Riviera (staffed by chef/server) - Crispy garlic bread - Penne pasta with chicken in a garlic cream sauce Under the Christmas Tree (staffed by chef/server) - Bacon-wrapped turkey tenderloin over butternut squash-scented risotto - Sage-crusted pork loin over celery-whipped potatoes - Cranberry chutney Dessert Station - Various cake and brownie bites, tarts, cream puffs, and more In general, I thought the food was OK. The pot stickers and penne pasta were my favorite items. The penne pasta was served out of a cheese wheel for presentation purposes. The noodles at the Asian Station looked more like a pasta dish than a Thai dish. Not really authentic. The noodles were prepared with a coconut sauce. The turkey and pork station was manned by a chef from Italian restaurant Campagnolo, which is located just a couple blocks east of the club. He works as a chef for both Campagnolo and The Peachtree Club. Admittedly, I do think the food I've had from local caterers like Affairs to Remember and Bold American Events has been better. There was an open bar with friendly bartenders. After dinner, there were no servers serving coffee nor was there a coffee station. Instead, coffee was served at the bar, which I thought was interesting (and uncommon, in my experience). In general, I thought all of the staff did a fantastic job, from the managers to the coat check lady. We brought in Cobalt Strings (https://www.yelp.com/biz/cobalt-strings-atlanta) to perform live holiday music. We had this same trio perform at our holiday party last year at the Atlanta History Center. They are that good. The Peachtree Club opened in 1989.

So, when I started working for SCAD and learned they were in the process of restoring and preserving the old Mansion Restaurant at Ponce & Piedmont, I was really excited. If you haven't had a chance to see the space since its transformation, please feel free to email me and I'd be happy to set up a free tour. lmoody@scad.edu. Truly the restoration of this historic landmark is a gift to our community. This Queen Anne Victorian house was built in 1883 by the Peters family--one of the founding families of our city. Know Peters street in Castleberry? Yep that's the same folks. They originally owned 400 acres from Briarcliff and Ponce all the way beyond where GA Tech now stands. In fact, the family donated the land that the campus was original built upon. They also donated the land for Morris Brown and the first baseball field for the Atlantans. The home is filled with beautiful detail. This is no cookie cutter McMansion. Every room is filled with unique features. The college will use the space for its Professional Writing program and will bring scholars, authors and journalists to speak and give workshops--many that will be open to the public.
