Has anyone participated in the escape game in Nashville or other larger cities?

Locked in a room for an hour?


I'll be packing heavy but also plan to play by the rules...

Can you give us a bit more information perhaps?
I have no idea what you're talking about.

Escape from what? Memphis?

I'd hide on a Fedex plane.

Is this some kind of corporate team building shit?

Or some freaky sex thing?

Yes... it was fun and something different. Took me a while to adjust to the complexity of the puzzles. Went in thinking it would be more complex than it was and many times the answer to the next step was right in front of us.

I know what you're talking about.  They're like Halloween scare houses, except for the the rest of the year.  And the room you're put in is like a puzzle you have to solve.



There's one in Alaska, but it's in a tiny town 2.5 hours away from Anchorage.

I have a badge.  And I would just hide in the FO can and roll out wherever it landed first.

"Morning, y'all! I'm here to talk about workplace violence and EEO! Where's the break room?"

Okay, I saw this video about it


Now, why did you feel the need to "pack heavy" for it and how does it involve your EDC?

I went to one for my bachelor's party.  It was a lot of fun but they joined my group of 4 with a family with small kids.  They kids ruined it so we did win.



Edit: Not Nashville or a "big" city.

It was it a dark room with no light. Said we couldn't use our phones but nothing about EDC.


Also black light was used heavily. I keep an ITS tactical one on my keys.


The senario was you had to escape and find the location of the terrorist attack, time and date.

We have everything except the location and we ran out of time.

Also involve tech like those magnetic locking gun walls to unlock doors etc.

It was also in the middle of the ghetto at midnight because gf didn't plan in advance.


It's really damn fun though.

Went to an escape room for the first time last week. Tons of fun (was just the gf and I in the room). Definitely looking forward to more.

Cool, thanks for the info, OP.

I did the Escape Room Challenge in Denver a few months ago with the GF and two of her friends. We got linked in w a group of 6 college age kids as well. It was a Zombie room escape. So we had to solve puzzles all over the room to obtain 4 keys to unlock the door. The Zombie was on a chain and every 10 minutes the chain got longer and she could roam farther into the room; this making it infinitely harder to solve the puzzles. The Actor playing the Zombie was great as was the "Game-Master" (aka funny guy in a tux overseeing and telling you the rules). Basically we had to solve multiple smaller puzzles; finding a black light flash light-needing to find batteries, reading morse code(written in black light readable ink only)- had to find the explanation of how it works in the room, to find a key hidden somewhere else. It was a lot of fun and most everyone was able to help in someway to solve the puzzles.

Everyone helps as posted.

It would ruin the game.


If interesting I can send anyone spoilers.


You have 60 minutes to escape and figure out a plot.

Mine was the date, time and location of a terrorist attack.

We had to break out of three rooms with hidden codes and keys to get to the information .
