You’ll step into a cozy Chattanooga escape room set at Christmastime, racing against the clock with your group to solve puzzles and help Santa deliver his gifts. Expect laughter over tricky clues, warm moments with family or friends, and a few surprises along the way — all guided by friendly locals who make you feel right at home.
The first thing I noticed was the faint smell of cinnamon — or maybe it was just my imagination, but it felt right as we stepped into this Chattanooga escape room. The place was decked out like someone’s grandma’s living room at Christmas, with knitted stockings and that old-school tinsel you only see in childhood photos. Our host, Jamie, handed us a little card and grinned, “Santa’s counting on you.” I laughed, but honestly, I got weirdly nervous. Forty-five minutes isn’t long when you’re supposed to save Christmas.
We started poking around for clues — my nephew kept shaking every snow globe he could find (sorry about that, Jamie). There were these little puzzles tucked into cookie tins and even a riddle written on the back of a recipe card. At one point, my sister tried to pronounce “Klaus” like our guide did (“rhymes with mouse!”), but she totally butchered it and everyone cracked up. The whole thing felt less like a game and more like we’d been dropped into some slightly chaotic holiday movie. You could hear other groups laughing through the walls — not loud enough to spoil anything, just enough to remind you there were other people trying to beat the clock too.
I didn’t expect to get so caught up in it. There was this moment near the end where we all went quiet, heads together over an old map trying to chart Santa’s flight plan before time ran out. My hands were actually sweating — which is ridiculous for a day trip in Chattanooga, but there you go. We made it with seconds left and everyone cheered (even Jamie looked relieved). Walking out into the regular world again felt strange; I still think about that last clue sometimes when I see Christmas lights flicker.
