The 9 best escape rooms in Memphis
From killer clowns to a 90s blast from the past, where to play the best escape rooms in Memphis.
“This is definitely on the harder side for MER, it's a fun challenge with unique elements that we liked. It does seem like it would be easier with a larger group, but the 2 of us were able to get the whole thing done and escape in time. There's one section that I would say is one of my favorite elements of all time in escape rooms, so it's worth it just to get to that. I haven't seen it anywhere else, and it's super cool.”

“We love pretty much all the Memphis escape rooms and this is no exception! One super important note, if you have allergies tell them in advance, this room has some allergens that you come into contact with. Not nuts, just common fragrances. That aside, we were still able to complete the room and had a ton of fun. It’s a really cool, huge room, with a ton of small details. It’s well thought out and planned, and maintained very well.”

“This room is over-the-top, elaborately themed (and huge), and the story-line is exceptional. There aren't as many puzzles as some rooms, but this is definitely designed to be an experience rather than non-stop puzzles. That being said, there is a good variety of puzzles. We probably wasted a lot of time just staring at everything in the room because of how well done it was. It was extremely immersive. There were several physical elements, and this room would not be appropriate for mobility issues. We were told the room might be too scary for our 10-yr-old daughter, but we didn't think that would be the case after playing it. There were some thematic elements that weren't really scary but were what we would expect given the theme, which made the game more immersive. Knowing our girl, we might have her turn her head at times because we know what isn't her thing, but I didn't think there was anything she couldn't tolerate in the room. Everything was purposeful and added to the theming. Overall, the room was fantastic, and it is easily my husband's favorite of all we've played.”

“Fun room with a lot of interesting elements. Staff were extremely quick with hints (usually we ask for no hints but forgot due to the unusual beginning of the room), so something to note to them if you don't love hints. Puzzles were great and well-themed; however, some things had to be manipulated after completing the puzzle to access them. It wasn't always clear what was planned to open, so we had completed puzzles a couple of times and were waiting for something to happen when we had push or pull on it to make it work. The center platform in the room and I did not get-along, as I smashed my shin into the bottom every time I had to interact with it. I'm shorter, so it was hard to reach anything without getting my legs very close to it. May be a unique to me experience, but definitely watch your legs! It was very warm in the room, something we haven't noticed in other rooms. All of that being said, one of the strongest Christmas-themed rooms we've played. Game host was very nice and very respectful of our no-hint request once we asked them for it.”

“Like every other game we've played at Memphis Escape Rooms, Magician's Code is very well designed and fun to play. The theme of the room was very immersive and there were some fun, and unique, elements in the room. The room is mostly linear is the progression is very well thought out. Easily on of our favorite rooms at Memphis Escape Rooms.”

“This room has two different outcomes, and we have played them both. This version of the room is fantastic. The room is extremely immersive; the flow of this version of the game is awesome; and the variety of puzzles is great, regardless of what type of room you typically prefer. The room does have some minimally physical elements, so this would be something to consider if you have mobility issues. There were a couple of very minor administrative things that slightly impacted the game. First, as is typical for many rooms, a video is shown before the room giving instructions as to what you are and are not allowed to do in the room; however, one of the puzzles in this room requires that you perform an activity you are explicitly warned not to do during the video. It would be beneficial for this to be addressed before the room or somehow with instructions during gameplay, as we avoided this initially based on instructions. We also had some difficulty with one of the activities registering that we had completed the task, but we only had to work with it a little before we were able to proceed. I would definitely go this route with this room, as the other storyline of this room was the only bad experience in a room we have had with this company. This storyline, however, was one of the best.”

“This room was great, we took some escape room newbies and they had a great time! It’s like stepping into a Christmas movie, and had a lot of challenging, fun puzzles. There's crawling and a tiny bit of climbing, and just enough movie references that knowing them helps but not knowing them wouldn't hurt.”

“First of all the set was perfect! Literally felt like I was in a 90s skate rink. Some puzzles were super fun and we loved others were clunky. One we couldn't tell if we got it so we started the sequence again.”

“WOW!! By far the most jaw dropping set design I’ve ever seen! Truly magical. This game was scarier than I expected it to be too! The puzzles are pretty difficult and become even harder to solve when your adrenaline starts rushing. Bring a medium sized group!”

How Do Escape Rooms Work?
Remember those point-and-click adventure games where you’re locked in a room and have to solve puzzles to find the key and escape? Those online games were the original inspiration for the live escape rooms you’ll find all across the world today. An escape room is an immersive experience where you (and your team of 2 or more people) are locked in a room with a series of puzzles for 60 minutes. To escape and win the game, you have to look for clues, solve the puzzles, and find the key. While most escape rooms only give you 60 minutes to complete the challenge, others may have shorter or longer time limits. Many venues are private rooms where you and your team are the only players. However, some places may pair you with other groups who booked a slot at the same time. And don’t worry about getting stuck, asking for hints on a difficult puzzle is totally normal. While the original escape room (created by SCRAP in 2007) had a fairly simple aesthetic, today’s escape games often take you into a different world. Artistic set designs, secret doors, and unique interactive elements are all part of the fun. It’s like an adventure game that you can interact with in real life. But if you’re hoping to preview any rooms before you book a game somewhere, detailed images and videos can be hard to find. To keep the puzzles a secret and preserve the experience of seeing the room for the first time, most venues only offer a few photos or a short trailer about the room’s theme or narrative. The only way to know what it’s like is to go and try it for yourself!
