“Hands down best pirate/shipwreck/nautical adventure room we’ve done. Nothing comes close. The set and ambiance were stunning from the moment we stepped inside. There were surprises all around us and we were constantly getting excited about new things we discovered. The payoff at the end of this room…. It’s just spectacular. Some rooms you finish and say, “so we’re done?” This is not those rooms. Absolutely cannot recommend this one highly enough. One of our top favorites (out of the 112 rooms we’ve done at times of writing this review).”

“This experience is spectacular. The set design is next level. You could pick this room up and place it at Universal Studios and it would not seem out of place at all. It’s that good. The story, the ambiance, the sounds, the tension… All so fantastic. Our adrenaline was pumping all throughout. This one kept us on our toes and peeking around every corner. The ending was ridiculously amazing and delightful. Just loved it.”

“Outstanding game! Excellent, innovative, challenging but clear clues and puzzles. Very immersive. The story kept the game moving along. This was our first time at Memphis Escape Games (Eastside), our 40th escape room, and this location is easily in the top 3 we've ever played. Great staff and great game facilitation. We will return to play more games at Memphis Escape Rooms (Eastside) and at their downtown location ASAP.”

“Excellent game! Great environment, innovative, challenging clues and puzzles, with a little bit of an ambiguous flow. Very immersive. This was the kind of game that is a little challenging to know what to do next, but we were able to figure it out eventually, and our game facilitator did an outstanding job of nudging us when we needed to be nudged. This was our first time at Memphis Escape Games (Eastside), our 41st escape room, and this location is easily in the top 3 we've ever played. Great staff and great game facilitation with timely clues. We will return to play more games at Memphis Escape Rooms (Eastside) and at their downtown location ASAP.”

“Of all of the “wizard school” rooms we’ve done, this one had more unique/innovative magical elements that we haven’t seen before. We appreciate puzzles that aren’t expected, and this definitely provided those.”

“I’ll start this off by saying that we played this room twice. They were somehow able to work two complete storylines into the room without making it feel like it. We were amazed at the differences between the two divergent paths we chose. Such an ingenious way to work with the space. Really fun, highly recommended.”

“Having played several holiday-themed rooms, this one was a refreshing change. The set design and progression were delightful. You felt a clear distinction between each section and the transitions were fun and unexpected. Having some holiday movie knowledge would enhance the experience, but is not necessary.”

“Oh. My. Gosh. This room was like, totally fab. (Sorry, couldn’t help myself.) Stepping into this room I literally jumped with excitement. The set was SO FUN and nostalgic. The puzzles were really clever and fit the theme perfectly. Not the most challenging, but a great time.”

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!
