Quest For The Temple of LightThe Keepers of BalanceEscape roomIRLWhat a gem of a room! I echo the other reviews that for enthusiasts— this is an emotional experience. Top tier set design combined with intuitive charming puzzles blend together to make an epic experience. I don’t have enough good things to say about Riley and Josh who both brought even more “light” to the game. If you’re near Charlotte (or far for that matter) do yourself a favor and check out KOB.
WreckedMasterpiece EscapesEscape roomIRLVery unique story with some satisfying puzzles! Definitely not too scary and more thrilling. Only disappointment was the wear and tear on a few game pieces (paper props/tape) and one lock that was left unlocked that took away a bit of our time which is why I’m not giving it a love. Definitely still worth doing and very inventive escape room!
Castle FlüffendorEscape Artist Greenville - Hampton StationEscape roomIRLOverall 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 didn’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 that— a cozy, delightful journey through a child’s imagination.
The Battle for BritainEscape PlanEscape roomIRLVictory! What a delightful take on the escape room genre. I especially in the second half of this room. A great room for those who enjoy puzzles that start out individually but contribute to a common goal, and the WWII setting.

Time MachineCountdown GamesEscape roomIRLOverall Time Machine was our favorite room we have played at Countdown! It’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.
Legend of the YetiThe Escape Game - DowntownEscape roomIRLWhat a whimsical journey into the icy mountains. Great use of space, puzzle design and music. Definitely medium difficulty with a lot of some surprises.
Curse Of The Kraken’s EyeGatlin's Escape Games - Pigeon ForgeEscape roomIRLJosh 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! :)
Big Maw Bertha's Fussin' & A' Feudin' Moonshine Hill HootenannyGatlin's Escape Games - Downtown GatlinburgEscape roomIRLOverall 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. Overall— Gatlin’s has great games but less than great guides.
SpellboundGreat Room Escape - NashvilleEscape roomIRLAs a seasoned escape room enthusiast it is rare for me to find a room that blows me away. The Great Room Escape’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.
