An Opportunity To Prove Yourself…. Or you’ll be sleeping with the Fishes. You and your group took the leap and accepted a mysterious job interview with the notorious gangster known only as “M”. She’s looking for some new brains in her operation, but you’ll have to prove your keep to gain access to her inner circle. She’s tasked you with finding her hideout - but only the most clever are able to decipher the puzzles left behind by M. Seems simple enough until she tells you, “Those that fail the test have a way of disappearing. Many already have.”

The Blind Pig was a really fun room! It was creative with its space, and the puzzles were ones I had never seen before. The second room was a bit overwhelming at first, but it was very manageable once the team got organized.

This room had some interesting puzzles and mechanics we haven’t seen used in those particular ways before. Our GM, Matthew, was very nice and personable. Solid experience overall.

I liked Blind Pig quite a bit, but it isn't without a couple speedbumps. The decor was very nice at first glance, but there were also alot of gaps into the back of sets that felt like they should be covered up. The puzzling was general really interesting, but there were a few props that were finicky to work with or felt totally out of place. There were a couple puzzles that felt very unique and gave great solve moments, which I appreciated. This game does show it's age, but it still is worth the visit if you are in the area!

The room design was very immersive and the flow of the puzzles had us busy the entire time. This room managed to use unique puzzles that made the room very memorable. Our game master , Lilly, was very enthusiastic and set the scene for us from beginning to finish.

This room has won well-earned awards, though arguably deserving more. The room—although MER’s oldest—is still extremely innovative and clever. The puzzles are relentlessly fun and engaging, and the atmosphere adds to the intensity and enjoyment of the whole process. If I was offered to join the mob by breaking into the Blind Pig, I’d take the job in a heartbeat.
Gameplay
This game absolutely blew my mind when I first played it. The puzzles were super innovative for its time and extremely satisfying to solve. To this day, when I find others who have played it, I still find myself talking about the same puzzles that rocked my world all those years ago, when I was still fresh to the escape room world.
Atmosphere
Unfortunately, you can tell that Murfreesboro Escape Rooms’ older rooms were not as well funded as some of the prop-heavy giants like The Escape Game. However, this room was still very resourcefully designed, with mood lighting that completely brings together the aesthetic, and wonderfully themed props that tie the room together.
Customer service
My GM was phenomenal, and the manager we interacted with was super helpful and accommodating. They gave us impeccable hints, since we were a very inexperienced and small group at the time, making the lost out the four clues built into the room’s difficulty.
Particularly interesting or different
Yes
The story was very well thought out and implemented, the tech involved was very streamlined and intriguing, and some of the puzzles were nothing like I had ever seen before. Plus, the exit door absolutely blew my mind at the time.
Story
The story was entertaining, but wasn’t very detailed. It was an important piece to the room, but it was not the main focus.
Difficulty
Hard
The puzzles are rather challenging and require multiple people doing things at once. However, these puzzles are super interactive and engaging, making the whole experience fly by. Many of the puzzles were followed by wonderful “aha!” moments that made all of the challenge worth it.
Game tech
Mechanical
There was definitely some really interesting tech in the room, but most of it was in the player’s control, which worked well for the structure of the room.
Ideal number of players
4
If you are all rather advanced players, 3 players would be perfect. But generally, 2 players is far too difficult with certain steps in mind, and 4 is the perfect amount for less experienced groups. With 5 players, although certain portions move faster, people may miss out on major parts of the room, and with 6 people, the room would be a bit cramped.
Scary
Not scary
There is a rather eerie and dark tone, especially considering the theme of the room, and some activated props make sudden loud noises, but none of it is constructed with the expressed purpose of fear.
Minimum age
9
I’d say any younger than 9 can cause issues with tone, as well as the difficulty of the room may be difficult to move past.

There are two portions where you have to operate something on the floor, but that’s about it.
Accessibility
There are color based puzzles, but none of the puzzles are audio focused, though audio does add to the atmosphere. There are also elevated portions which limit mobility-based accessibility.
Easy to find location
Yes
The sign is very clearly lit and it is in a very clear and open shopping center.
Parking
Easy
Plenty of parking, although it may be tougher at busier times, considering the surrounding businesses.

This room was my favorite at MER. The theming was very well made and the story is interesting. The puzzles were unique and challenging. This room was a bit harder than the other rooms at this location, so bringing some older players with experience is recommended.

Murfreesboro Escape Rooms is a great escape room in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Their Blind Pig room is their most popular room, but they do have some other good rooms. Parking is easy. Their facility is clean, and the staff is attentive and friendly. The Blind Pig was beautiful and fun. They found creative ways to make the small room feel more expansive, but the room was too small. I don't usually like reading in an escape room, but I loved that even though The Blind Pig had multiple reading tasks, the reading wasn't too long and didn't feel tedious. There were many clever generation two locks in this room including secret doors, lasers, and physical challenge puzzles. There were many doors to open and almost no boring generation one locked boxes. The hints were clear and helpful, and everything in the room was clued very well. There was good feedback and responsiveness to all the puzzle solves accept for one. That one solve unlocked a door, but we had to find and pull the door open to get it to actually open.
