    Castle FlĆ¼ffendor

    Overall this room is my third favorite out of the dreamscape rooms at this location. That being said, it is still and excellent room with fun reveals, It just felt like it fell a little flat at the end. I wish the ending was a bit more dramatic and that some of the cinematic moments didnā€™t go on for quite so long. Other than that small critique I had a blast and it did feel like a whimsical story. If you liked Yuletide Magic at their downtown location I would liken it thatā€” a cozy, delightful journey through a childā€™s imagination.

    Overall Time Machine was our favorite room we have played at Countdown! Itā€™s a simple premise but checks all the boxes for puzzle lovers. Very fun to progress through different decades. We had so much fun that we ended up playing almost all of their games. A special shoutout to Cally especially, for being a wonderful guide and hyping us up. My only complaint with countdown is that GMs run two rooms at a time which can lead to a little delay when clues are concerned and feel disjointed when one person intros, another person gives clues, and another person outros.

    Overall I enjoyed the room, nothing was broken but there were a few puzzles that felt a little worse for ware. For being the most popular game in Gatlinburg I did expect better. Overallā€” Gatlinā€™s has great games but less than great guides.

    Josh absolutely made our time here. We had a few game malfunctions in our first in second rooms so to apologize they gave us two free games and mini golf. Overall the rooms were great and our guides Desi and Ellis were excellent. Definitely higher quality and service than the Gatlinburg location! :)

    Great Room Escape - Nashville

    As a seasoned escape room enthusiast it is rare for me to find a room that blows me away. The Great Room Escapeā€™s Spellbound did more than deliver. The set design and puzzle flow was expertly done with interesting twists and turns around every corner and entire set pieces moving. Nick, Solomon, and Flip, our game hosts were incredibly kind and friendly and we even got a chance to nerd out with them about escape room design after our game. I will definitely be back to try out the Zombie room.

    What a whimsical journey into the icy mountains. Great use of space, puzzle design and music. Definitely medium difficulty with a lot of some surprises.

    60 Minute Escape Game

    Let me set the sceneā€¦ the owner has a reserved parking spot in the front of the building, right next to a handicapped spot. I wish I could rate ā€œokā€ because Iā€™m mainly turned off by this company because of the GM, not the game. It seems to be a common experience at 60 mins Escape to have excellent multi level games with poor service. (Iā€™ve played both this and Frankenstein with the same result) In the end Iā€™d prefer an average game with excellent service because the presentation really matters. Our guide repeatedly gave us the same clue when we asked for more help, talked negatively about previous guests in front of us, and told me to stop looking around during his intro. The game however was really interesting and more creative then most stereotypical Egypt themes. If you want to play a good room with challenging puzzles Iā€™d recommend it, just donā€™t expect first class service.
