## Not just for families

Pigeon Forge has no shortage of family attractions. An escape room is one of the few that is just as good with a table of grown-ups: old college roommates, a girls' weekend, two couples sharing a cabin, a retirement crowd that golfs together all week.

It is an hour of real conversation and teamwork with a clock to beat, and the room is private, so it is only your people in there.

## Pick your challenge

Mad Scientist is our hardest room, and Pirates Quest, The Haunting, and The Wonderland Cube are all rated hard. The Wonderland Cube is built for 2 to 4, a good size for two couples. Want a rivalry? Versus Mode splits your group into two teams racing to escape first.

Prefer to ease in? Diamond Heist is our most approachable room, and hints are always there if you want them.

- Mad Scientist: our hardest
- The Wonderland Cube: 2 to 4 players
- Versus Mode: couples against couples
- The Haunting: our one spooky theme

## Evenings too

Games start about every 90 minutes from 11 AM, with the last start times around 11 PM, so an escape room works after dinner as easily as before lunch.
