Curse Of The Kraken’s Eye

My partner and I love to do escape rooms whenever we travel. We’ve done over 50 total thus far. This week we’re on vacation to visit the Great Smoky Mountains and while we are here we’ve done games at most of the escape rooms in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. I will definitely say that the three Gatlin’s Escape locations have been the best experiences thus far game wise with excellent effects and puzzles/props as well as pretty good story lines. Only negative is that the rooms are not private unless you pay more. Personally we were able to get 3 games today with out anyone else joining our games. We suggest holding off on signing up for the game until you get a little closer to the scheduled time if you want to aim for a private room. All three game masters were great today but special shout out to Alice from the Pigeon Forge location (where we played Kraken’s Eye) for being super personable and knowing when to hold clues and when to give them to make it a challenging but not frustrating experience. We’ve done The Kraken’s Eye, the Masters of Magic and Big Maw Bertha’s rooms today. Hoping to squeeze in Hyde House and Atlantis before we leave!

This place had great reviews on TripAdvisor so we decided to try it on our last day of vacation. We love Escape Rooms and this one did not disappoint. Alice was a great game master. The room was creative and fun for our family. We worked together and was able to escape…but just barely!!

It was a last minute decision to do this room. We were walking by and they ended up having a game beginning shortly. It was late at night so we were lucky enough to get a private room! It was linear. Which I am not usually a fan of but each puzzle still kept us thinking and it being linear actually kept us on track. It was a lot to complete in just one hour with just two people. There were a few puzzles that we got caught up on but I did not feel like we struggled much. We have done over 40 rooms so some puzzles were a breeze but others we over thank. There was a dexterity challenge which was different then a lot of games. Overall, everything flowed nicely and was in great working condition. Every puzzle matched the story. The staff was very nice and our game master was very encouraging. They do have other locations in TN I will be sure to visit on my next trip!
