Mind Busting Escape Rooms — Attraction in Tucker

Honestly, this escape room was not terribly great, and this is probably the worst review I've given an escape room after doing them back when there was only 1 or 2 in the atlanta metro area.

Me, my wife, and a friend did Cartel, and honestly, the room was poorly thought out and more irritating than anything. There were alphabetic locks that required words that you just had to guess. There were no hints as to what words should be used, and they ultimately only vaguely fit the room's theme. There was a laser-based problem to solve that made no sense and seemed to have just been thrown in. Our flashlights barely worked. And there was only one room for this escape room (which is shocking in 2024). Honestly, ditch this room or redo it from the ground up.

The gamemaster also was not paying great attention. I get that sometimes gamemasters have to keep track of multiple games, but at one point, we kept getting told a hint for a problem we already solved even after yelling "We already did!". It should have also been clear because there are multiple cameras in the room and the box that would have opened should have been easy to see as open through the cameras.

And after we left, we got a message asking for tips for the gamemasters?! GTFO. You lose a star just for...

DO NOT BOOK! Honestly very disappointing for an escape room. We did containment and escaped in less 20 minutes… and our group usually NEVER escapes. It was way tooo easy. There were basically only 5 puzzles. Definitely NOT worth the 35 dollars! On top of that, the host treated us terribly. Upon arrival, we were told that we would be joined by 3 others. However, by the time the 3 people joined, there was nothing left to do. When we politely expressed our opinions to the host, she disregarded us completely and said we “were just fast.” However, compared to other “easy” escape rooms in the surrounding Atlanta area, our same group didn’t even escape those rooms. The host didn’t care or acknowledge the other 3 people either. We felt the need to apologize to them, since they basically paid $35 for 10 minutes of nothing. ALSO. Isn’t it the norm for the host to show us pictures/videos of our gameplay and allow us to take pictures with props at the end? Not here. The host avoided both of our groups, leaving us speechless and disappointed. Overall, terrible experience and service. DO NOT WASTE $35. To think an escape room in Atlanta would be worth it… Mind Busting was NOT. Sure, our minds were busted, but in the worst...

I used to love this escape room, but this visit was so bad it completely flipped my opinion, which is saying something considering we paid $156 for the privilege. The woman running our game couldn’t have cared less. We sat waiting for about ten minutes before she finally emerged from the back wrapped in a blanket and smelling like weed to check us in. She didn’t greet us when we arrived, didn’t check in during or after, and didn’t even offer to take a picture when we finished. Last time I came, the guy working was funny, friendly, and actually made the experience feel special. This time, it felt like we were bothering her just by being there.

One of the locks was already open when we walked in, so the room wasn’t even set up right. On top of that, one of the props was dead. Instead of just fixing it, she waited until we wasted a clue, then came in without a word, snatched it from our hands, dropped a replacement, and left.

When we finished, no one came over. We stood around waiting, but eventually just took our own photo. The whole thing felt lazy, unprofessional, and absolutely not worth $156. This place used to be fun, but if this is the staff they’re hiring now, it’s not somewhere I’ll be...
