Escape the Space

In the past we’ve done escape rooms in both Tampa (LOVED it) and Savannah (HATED it). Both the husband and I had been looking forward to trying Escape rooms in different areas. It just so happened that we were going to be in Athens for the weekend, kid free and when we saw Athens had an Escape Room, we knew we had to sign up– so we did– twice! And what a treat we were in for– Escape the Space definitely falls under the LOVE category!
The Space– they have an awesome building. It’s set up perfectly for the use. Very large rooms, plenty of space for large groups.
The Game– We did both the Bomb Squad and National Lampoon’s Christmas.
The Bomb Squad was definitely set up for a larger group– so if you a couple signing up alone– recruit some friends to go with you or sign up on a space that already has some people. There was no way we could have completed the room in an hour, even with generous help (which we had). Even though we failed, we had fun! It was a completely different set up than we’d experienced at both Savannah and Tampa.
Christmas Room– this one was so much! Instead of digging through a room to find the clues, you have photos that lead you to them. It was different than any other room we’d done, but I loved the concept of the picture clues! Again, this room was set up for a larger group– so go with another couple or sign up on a space there is already someone. Based on my experience I think it could have easily been done with 4 people. We were soooo close to solving the puzzle at the end (without much help along the way) and I think we would have had we found the clues quicker. The owners gave us a bit more time try and complete– which was super nice of them. We ended up having them walk us through the last little bit.
The only thing I didn’t like about whole thing was the blind folds– seemed a bit unnecessary, but perhaps it’s to build excitement.
The owner said they are planning on building a 2 – 4 person room. We’ll definitely make the trip back to Athens when that happens!

Went here with the family expecting a fun challenge. What we got was so much more. It was the most exhilarating, creative-​thinking, positively pressuring hours of my life that I cannot wait to go back and do again. The Hangover’s Room’s mystery was so well thought out and took effort from each person to complete (which we did with only 40 seconds left!!) This is just a one of a kind attraction you cannot miss! You’ll leave not only hyped up and talking over every part of the «puzzle», but you’ll also leave with such an awe at how the owners create these intricate rooms from scratch. GO DO IT!

I had such an amazing time!!! This place is awesome and I can’t wait to go again. It was challenging, exciting, and the facilitators were helpful and kind. Best fun in town!
