How a company holiday party works for 8, 32 or 100+ people
Each team gets its own room and 60 minutes on the clock. The size of your company only changes how many rooms and rounds we run.
Up to 8 people
One private room
One private room downtown at 224 Broad Street, or Runaway Train at the Choo Choo, which has one room for 8. The train car is a good pick for a leadership team or visiting guests.
About $280 before tax. We can fit 10 in a room on request.
Up to 32 people
Every room at the same time
All four rooms at 224 Broad Street start together. Need a few more seats? Runaway Train at the Choo Choo takes 8 more players in the same event.
From 3 rooms (24 people), the 15% group discount applies Sunday through Friday.
33 to 100+ people
Back-to-back rounds
Play in back-to-back rounds on Broad Street. Riverport Grille shares a wall with the venue and takes large group reservations, so one group can eat while the other plays.
Our events team builds the schedule around your evening.
Why an escape room beats the usual office holiday party
Most holiday parties fail for the same reason: there is nothing to do. An escape room fixes that in the first two minutes. The door closes, the clock starts, and your team has 60 minutes to work together.
- Everyone participates. Puzzles need readers, searchers, organizers and the person who notices the odd detail on the wall.
- It mixes departments. Shuffle teams so sales, operations and finance end up in the same room.
- No skills, no fitness level, no drinking required. It is one of the most inclusive party formats you can pick.
- It has a finale. Teams compare escape times, a champion gets crowned, and the debate moves to dinner.

Two downtown Chattanooga venues, five rooms
Escape Experience opened in 2014 as Chattanooga’s first escape room. Our Downtown Riverfront venue at 224 Broad Street is two blocks from the Tennessee Aquarium and has four rooms: C-Block Prison Break, The Inheritance, Vaccine: Search for the Cure, and The Bunker.
Our second venue is at the Chattanooga Choo Choo, 16 Choo Choo Ave. It has one room, Runaway Train, played inside a real vintage train car. The free CARTA electric shuttle connects the Choo Choo and downtown, so part of the company can play on the train while the rest play on Broad Street.
Build the rest of the evening in downtown Chattanooga
- Dinner next door:
- Riverport Grille shares a wall with our Downtown Riverfront venue and takes large group reservations.
- Two venues, one event:
- The free CARTA electric shuttle runs between the Choo Choo and downtown, so a group split across both venues can meet up afterward.
- Before or after:
- The Tennessee Aquarium is two blocks from Broad Street, and the riverfront restaurants are a short walk.
Which Chattanooga rooms fit which teams
- Runaway Train
Played inside a real vintage train car at the Choo Choo. Chattanooga only.
- The Bunker
Stop a Cold War missile launch beneath Raccoon Mountain. Rebuilt in 2026.
- The Inheritance
A mystery in your late uncle’s study. Our hardest room, for the puzzle people.
- C-Block Prison Break
Break out before the guard’s shift ends. Fast and a good first escape room.
- Vaccine: Search for the Cure
Moody and tense, with no live actors and no jump scares.
