Shipwreck CoveMemphis Escape Rooms - South MainEscape roomIRLGreat room, great theming, one of my favorites for sure!!!
Tiki IslandEscape The NetherworldEscape roomIRLAfter seeing all of the positive reviews, I had high hopes for this room, even to the point that my group was willing to pay 60 DOLLARS A PERSON. This was easily the most expensive room we've done, and to be honest, it was super underwhelming for the price. They said it was priced high because it was a private experience, which I've done much better private rooms for $45 a person. Here's what I didn't like about the room, as well as some things I liked: What I didn't like: 1. Most of the room was basic number combo locks, which is fine, but for this price point is unacceptable. 2. Most of the locks were broken/didn't work right. Our game master had to come in multiple times to fix certain things (you would think a company that charges $60 a person would be able to afford new combo locks). 3. The clue system was weird. We were allowed 3 "cheat" clues, which meant they would just give us the code to a lock. In my opinion, this shows the room was poorly designed. 4. Some puzzles gave you a code, but no way to figure out the order. So most of the room felt like trial and error (again, bad design). 5. This room threw way too much stuff at you at once, and had minimum table space, which caused disorganization. Here are some things I liked: 1. The set was well-built and cool. It even smelled like pineapples when we walked in there, nice touch 2. The staff was super friendly, and they all seemed passionate about their job. 3. There were some cool effects and one cool puzzle. My favorite part was the soundtrack. It brought the theme together. Overall, my main issue with this room was the price. If it were priced around $40-45 a person, I would have enjoyed it more. When we left, my group couldn't help but feel a little ripped off. My recommendation is to go to The Escape Game; they have much better rooms for half the price.

It did not seem like she wanted to be there, and she didn’t seem to care. That alone is enough to give this room a thumbs down. If I were you, I would just go to Huntsville Escape Rooms, their rooms are decent, and you’re treated well.
