The Escape Game Nashville (Berry Hill)

The Escape Game is a live 60-minute adventure. You and your team will select a challenge and will have one hour to complete your mission and escape. We offer several unique experiences, all happening in a completely immersive environment. You may be in prison planning an escape, on Mars trying to repair a spaceship or in a museum stealing back a piece of art.

Reviewed By SMCMiami

18 members of my family spend Christmas at a different location every year. We always do an escape game, and this was the best yet! You could work on several areas at the same time in The Playroom (one group did Special Ops and loved it), and teamwork was necessary so that everyone got involved. The games were very creative and you can get as many hints as you need to escape so that you came out feeling like a winner. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, and the facilities were well-maintained.
