You’ll jump into one of Atlanta’s most immersive escape rooms at The Interlock, working side by side to crack clues and beat the clock. Expect laughter (and maybe some friendly chaos), support from your local game guide, plus a real sense of teamwork whether you book as a group or join others. That final rush is something you’ll want to relive.
“Okay, who’s got the next clue?” That was Jamie, already halfway across the room before I’d even figured out what we were looking for. We’d just started our escape room adventure at The Escape Game Atlanta in The Interlock — honestly, I was more nervous than I thought I’d be. You walk in and the staff (our game guide was Marcus) gives you this little pep talk, and suddenly you’re not just friends or family anymore, you’re a crew on some wild mission. The place smells faintly like popcorn and new carpet — not sure why that stuck with me.
We picked Cosmic Crisis because someone said it had “the best gadgets,” which sounded legit. There are six different escape room games here, but that one just pulled us in. Once the door clicked shut behind us, the whole vibe changed — lights dimmed, weird little beeps and space noises started up. I remember brushing my hand over a panel that felt cold and smooth, kind of like those old arcade machines. Marcus told us we had exactly 60 minutes to save the world (no pressure), and he kept popping up on the screen with hints when we got stuck… which happened more than once. He didn’t judge though — just smiled and said “You’re close!” even when we really weren’t.
Somewhere around clue four or five, my cousin tried to pronounce something in Mandarin (it was part of a puzzle), and Li from another group laughed so hard she nearly dropped her walkie-talkie. It’s funny how quickly strangers become teammates when you’re all racing against the clock together. By the end, we were sweaty, talking over each other, totally forgetting who solved what — but we escaped with three minutes left. Still not sure how.
Afterwards, we spilled out into West Midtown feeling wired and kind of proud — like maybe we actually could save the universe if someone asked? We grabbed tacos at Velvet Taco right next door because apparently escaping makes you hungry. I still think about that last puzzle sometimes; it’s weird how much a game can stick with you.
