Chattanooga's Original Escape Room · Locally Owned Since 2014 · 4.9★ from 3,200+ Reviews · From $34.99/person

Locally owned and Tennessee-made since 2014, Escape Experience is Chattanooga's original escape room — not a national franchise. We offer 5 cinematic, story-driven escape rooms across 2 downtown venues: our Riverfront location at 224 Broad Street, a 2-minute walk from the Tennessee Aquarium, and the one-of-a-kind Runaway Train inside an actual vintage train car at the historic Chattanooga Choo Choo. Book public from $34.99/person and meet new players, or upgrade to private if you'd rather keep the room just for your group — your choice, not ours. Whether you're visiting Lookout Mountain, crossing the Walnut Street Bridge, or exploring the Riverwalk, we're the top-rated activity in downtown Chattanooga with a 4.9-star rating from over 3,200 Google reviews.
