What’s the experience like?

The first thing I noticed walking into The Escape Game at Opry Mills was the weird mix of cinnamon pretzel smell from the food court and that faint, new-carpet scent. Our group was half excited, half nervous — I’d never done an escape room before, and honestly, I thought I’d be terrible at it. But our game guide, Marcus, just grinned and handed us our mission envelope like it was all in a day’s work. He had this way of explaining the rules that made even my cousin (who overthinks everything) relax a little.

We picked “Special Ops: Mysterious Market” because someone said there were secret doors — no spoilers here, but yeah, there are some surprises. The first clue stumped us for a good five minutes until my friend Sarah blurted out something random that actually worked. There’s this buzzy energy when you’re all huddled around a lock, arguing about numbers while the clock ticks louder than you’d expect. At one point Marcus’ voice came through the speaker with a hint (he called us “detectives” which cracked me up), and it didn’t feel forced — more like a friend tossing you a lifeline.

I remember brushing my hand across one of the props — cold metal, kind of gritty — and thinking how much detail they put into these rooms. It’s not scary or claustrophobic at all; more like being dropped into your own movie scene for an hour. When we finally solved the last puzzle (with about three minutes left), everyone just started laughing — partly from relief, partly because we almost missed the obvious answer right at the end. You know that feeling when you walk out blinking into bright lights after being totally focused? That’s what it felt like stepping back into the mall noise.

If you’re looking for something different to do in Nashville with friends or family, this 60 minute escape game is honestly worth trying. We ended up grabbing tacos at Chuy’s afterwards and couldn’t stop talking about who messed up which clue. Still think about that last lock sometimes.
