We had a great time barely made it out and wouldn't have made it out without the help of the staff. We have done escape rooms before but this one was definitely the hardest so far. We did the cabin in the woods had a great time make sure you bring your thinking cap and sense of humor because you'll need both!!!!

I have done over 50 escape rooms. I look at rooms from the perspective of immersion, game flow, types of puzzles, and how well the puzzles fit the theme. My family and I recently experienced both rooms at the Lost Rooms Escape Adventures in Helen, GA. Both rooms had excellent game flow. The Final Piece room made excellent use of the space available. The MasterKey room is good for larger groups. For both, the immersion felt pretty complete. The rooms were fun to play. The puzzles were varied and were more than just lock and key. The puzzles fit well with the theme of the room. I would definitely recommend.

7. Yonah Mountain Hiking Trail
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 104 reviews
Reviewed By RebeccaL50 - Atlanta, United States
This is about a 4.5 mile hike to the top of Yonah Mountain. The path is clear but has roots and some rocks. At the halfway point up the mountain, there is a grassy clearing for your first good view. After that, the path gets much steeper. At the top, there are many outcrops you can sit and enjoy views. It was a little hard finding the trailhead, but the parking lot is on a short gravel road off Chambers road. No fee to park and pit toilets. I would say this hike is moderate to strenuous, but very doable. Take lots of water.

Took our nephews here for a fun ride on the coaster. It is a quick go, but they loved it. The 12 yr old went himself and thought it was the coolest thing ever. The 6 yr old went with an adult and screamed with joy the entire time. Even the adult loved it. It isn’t too expensive, $16 pp. yes it is a quick ride but very different and worth the money. They let you come back within 24 hrs and ride again at half price too. Great attraction!
