Paranormal Escape Room — Attraction in Dahlonega

Not worth it - I love Dahlonega and there are many better ways in the area to spend the day. If you want an escape room, there are some in neighboring towns I’d recommend instead.

We had a reservation at 1pm on a Sunday (which we booked around 10am the day of) but it was locked when we arrived. We called and the voicemail said to please send a text, which we did. When the game master arrived around 1:15, she noted that she checked reservations the night before and didn’t see any so she didn’t come in. She then needed 10 minutes to reset the room, delaying our plans even more. She also noted that the voicemail that notes to send texts directs you to an office phone and she doesn’t see any of the texts.

When we got in the room, things continued to disappoint. You need black light flashlights for the room, two of which weren’t charged and one died after a few minutes. She noted that they weren’t charged the night prior.

We used the single working flashlight to figure out the first two codes, but even after we got the numbers correct, some of the locks did not open. The game master confirmed the numbers, but we had to bring the box out onto the porch to show her that the boxes weren’t opening (if you want a clue you have to leave the room as she does not monitor the room). We spent ~15 minutes (she never stopped the clock) on the second box that even she struggled to open. When we got to the final box, which is glued to the floor, we could not open the lock again, even after she confirmed our code. In the end, she herself couldn’t get the box to open and kept saying she needed to spray WD40 on it because people kept saying they were having trouble with the locks lately. It was very disappointing that she knew of the issue but chose not to resolve it before accepting more bookings.

Even though two locks malfunctioned, one of which the game master herself never got open, we weren’t offered a partial refund, or any acknowledgement of the fact that this was not up to par.

The room is also EXTREMELY dark. If you have any vision impairment, this is not for you.

Offering two stars because even though the game master was late and unresponsive and the room itself had two malfunctioning locks, the narrative of the escape room was good (even though it has no tie to paranormal activity as the name suggests) and the clues did lend themselves to solving the...

My daughters, 17 and 11, and I had a great time here! My youngest wanted to leave a review, so here she is:

This is a great Escape Room and I had a lot of fun, although we took at least 15 minutes on the first one, once we figured out the first bit towards the answer to the first case/box, I managed to figure out from the a page given for the Escape Room and after that it got progressively easier, but it was a challenge that my family and I enjoyed. We managed to finish with only 30 seconds left on the timer! Which was nerve-racking, but that made it more fun! I recommend if you go to Dahlonega that you go here and challenge yourself to this...

GREAT ESCAPE ROOM!!! I came with two people and was really difficult! We had to ask several times for help. We unfortunately only got to the second clue but the nice lady walked us through it. If you going to go here make sure to bring 3-5 people! And check EVERYWHERE! We will most likely be coming back with more people. It may be small but really fun. When we walked in it was a little confusing finding the place but we did. When we walked in we were greeted kindly by the lady and her cute dog. We love going to escape rooms but this room was something else! Highly...
