Mission Escape Atlanta — Attraction in Atlanta

First off they are in the FRONT of the E building. If you end up on the back side of any building you have gone the wrong way.

We had humorous time. It is so much fun and we started to catch on pretty quick. However, you really need your thinking caps because at first it seems easy but it will get progressively harder. We went in a party of 2 which it is hard to get through in 60 min, but not impossible. If there is 2 of you, do NOT dilly dally thinking you have plenty of time, you have to race, which we didn't. If we had been more diligent from the start we would have possibly escaped with the elusive siena3 white diamond in hand.

We did the study. Now it was a GOOD thing, the room you are put in was themed sparingly. It is underwhelming at first. You think study with books everywhere and nicknacks, but believe me if there was any more stuff to search in that room or any more books you would have no chance of putting the mysteries together in an hour.

They have 2 types of challenges, some involve physically (but far from strenuous) puzzles and the others are more riddle and clue types. So it takes 2 types of thinking so the more people you got the better!

The person I went with has a very high bar for fun. She rarely smiles. When we where there she had a blast and cracked jokes and smiles the whole time. I can't wait to go back. Prices are extremely doable and worth it. $56 for 2 of us at the time we went.

One of the owners ran our game. He did an amazing job and personalizes his actions to you, you are able to talk to him through out the game, should you need it. They are local and not a franchise. They are doing this with a passion because they had experienced one of theses escape games in another city and have brought it to Atlanta. They get a kick out of watching you try to solve their mysteries and just get so worked up, because they are passionate about sharing the fun of this game with you. They invented the chain of problems you have to solve on their own and the fun of their day is watching you think and work to solve these problems yourself.

Best part is even though we lost and didn't finish in time we really hadn't felt like we had lost at all. Dieing to go back...

I don't consider myself an expert when it comes to escape games, I just love doing them and I have about 20 under my belt. I am trying to find immersive environments, challenging puzzles, and cool interactions, and I am going back and reviewing all of the experiences that I have done.

This review is hard to do because of the uniqueness of it. We did the Hotel experience and it was awesome. I found it to be unique because we were put into 3 seperate rooms and had to do our puzzles. Teamwork and communication were key for us to get out. I went with a group of 4 and we were paired with a group of 4. We were split into 3/2/3. Each room has its own puzzles and challeneges because all the rooms have to talk to each other.

-- Either we figured out our room too fast, or the other rooms were just really slow, because I ended up laying down for 15 minutes on the floor with nothing to do. We had to wait on the other 2 rooms because they were the only ones with puzzles they had to solve. This made us miss out on a lot of the group effort once we all got into the common area.

I usually don't take the time to write reviews, but I had such a great experience with this business that I feel obligated to return the courtesy. The day after I booked the Study for my boyfriend and I, the manager gives me a call to ask whether I would be comfortable with extra people in the room. It usually has a maximum limit of 10, and unfortunately, there was a party of 10 that wanted to reserve the room at exactly the same time for someone's birthday. He said we could either stay (since we did pay for the spots) or they can book us for a later time in the Hotel instead. Since the later time would run us pretty close to the dinner reservations that we would have afterwards, the manager offered us a 25% discount on our tickets using his own promo code. From buying the tickets to playing the game, this business was totally professional and were very nice people. Totally recommend to anyone who has never played an escape-the-room game before, and if you have, you definitely need to give these...
