Chattanooga's Original Escape Room · Locally Owned Since 2014 · 4.9★ from 3,400+ Reviews · From $34.99/person

Locally owned and Tennessee-made since 2014, Escape Experience is Chattanooga's original escape room — not a national franchise. We offer 5 cinematic, story-driven escape rooms across 2 downtown venues: our Riverfront location at 224 Broad Street, a 2-minute walk from the Tennessee Aquarium, and the one-of-a-kind Runaway Train inside an actual vintage train car at the historic Chattanooga Choo Choo. Book public from $34.99/person and meet new players, or upgrade to private if you'd rather keep the room just for your group — your choice, not ours. Whether you're visiting Lookout Mountain, crossing the Walnut Street Bridge, or exploring the Riverwalk, we're the top-rated activity in downtown Chattanooga with a 4.9-star rating from over 3,400 Google reviews.

What guests say about our Chattanooga escape rooms

4.9★ from 3,425 Google reviews

“My family of six did the Cure escape room and had a fantastic time. The puzzles were logical but challenging. Our game master, Alex, was very attentive and helped us when we needed it. She also helped us get a last minute booking so we could get on the road to head hime (we were passing through). We wish we lived closer bc we would love to do all the other rooms!”

Heather W.

“We had an awesome time! The Inheritance was challenging, creative, and genuinely fun from start to finish. The puzzles were really well thought out and kept us engaged the entire time. We escaped with 43 seconds left, so apparentlyHenry was feeling generous 😂. The staff were great, the room was well put together, and the whole experience was a blast. Definitely recommend checking this place out if you’re looking for a fun escape room experience!”

Christopher S.

“My party had chosen "The Bunker" and it was an amazing experience. Had a lot of fun and our staff helper Braden was great.”

Justin F.

“We did the bunker escape, which was great. It is challenging and fun. Jaxson was friendly and clear with giving the rules and hints. Will definitely be back for more of the rooms.”

Jessica H.

“We had an awesome time at this escape room! Our host Jaxson was super friendly and helpful. The Search for the Cure was well thought out and really made us think. Very cool set up! We had so much fun. 10/10 would recommend to anyone in the area.”

Katelyn H.

“Really great experience here, it was our first time in an escape room. Hensi did a great job with our group, we got out with about 5 min to spare as well. The room was the Bunker and it was REALLY cool. Without giving away anything it will remind any child of the 80s of War Games!”

Ben L.

“This was everything and more. So challenging yet stressfully exciting. I had so much fun with my family and will def recommend to my peers, and anyone coming to Chattanooga should do this. It was such a fantastic experience and out Host Henry was so kind and awesome.”

Livi R.

“This was so fun! My kids said this was their favorite activity on our weekend trip to Chattanooga. Now we plan to find an escape room for every vacation!”
