If you love escape games, do yourself a favor and give this place a go. The rooms were immersive, the puzzles were creative (not combo lock heavy at all), and the themes were so unique! My husband and I love escape games and played all 3 at this location - this company definitely put time and effort into making their experiences different and fun.
✨ SPECIAL SHOUTOUT ✨ to our incredible game master Alice and also Beth, who didn’t work our rooms but was equally sweet. We loved how Alice was supportive throughout our game if we ever needed but was not overly helpful; she allowed to us to struggle and figure out clues on our own, but if we asked, her added help was just enough to get us pointed in the right direction! She took extra time to answer questions and explain everything we were curious about, all while being respectful of her coworkers and other groups. We were so impressed by her kindness and enthusiasm and were thrilled to be able to work with her for all three games (thank you Beth!). You can tell everyone who works at this company loves to be there and truly enjoys their job, but Alice has to be one of our favorite game masters we’ve ever had. She truly goes above and beyond. We had so much fun and can’t wait to visit the...
Read moreAs someone who loves to try escape rooms wherever I travel to, Gatlin’s escape games are my absolute favorite! The puzzles are the most fun, while still challenging, are still fun and not stressful like some places. The rooms have the most details of any I’ve been to and always seem to surprise me. I’ve now completed all of their current escape rooms and would recommend any and each of them to everyone. My absolute favorite ones are “The Haunting of Hyde House” and “The Boogeyman,” as I tend to prefer the more creepy rooms. However, the Hootenanny room was unique and really funny, and “The Curse of the Kraken’s Eye” had really fun puzzles. The game masters are my favorite of any location I’ve been to. They seem to really like their work and it shows through as it seems they are having fun with you as you complete the rooms. I prefer when they actually speak to you over speakers (to give clues/nudges or add to the overall vibe of the room, as they do at these locations, rather than messages/clues that pop up on a box that you have to keep running back to, like some other...
Read moreWe did the Masters of Magic escape room here. Alice was our game master and she was so helpful and nice. She even gave us a mini peak at some of the other rooms. Alice was so passionate about these rooms and gave great explanations. She was truly a treasure in this experience. This by far was the best escape room we have ever done. The puzzles had such satisfying conclusions. All of the special effects and fun magical moments had us on the edge of our seats the entire time. We did not make it out, we got stuck on the very last puzzle. Even though we didn't get it, Alice offered to come in and show us so we wouldn't have to go crazy wondering. This was such a good experience. I'm just so sad we did this on our last night in Pigeon Forge so we didn't have time to try out all the rooms Gatlins had to offer. We're on our way home now wondering if it's crazy to plan a weekend trip just to do all the other rooms. It's not that...
