About The Escape Game Pigeon Forge
Looking for the ultimate escape room experience in Pigeon Forge? The Escape Game Pigeon Forge stands out as the area's premier attraction, offering movie-quality sets and brilliantly designed puzzles that challenge both newcomers and experienced players alike.
Located at The Island in Pigeon Forge, this venue features multiple themed rooms, including the crowd-favorite Gold Rush and the notably challenging Prison Break. Each 60-minute adventure immerses teams in detailed environments where every prop might hold a crucial clue. The sophisticated puzzle systems go well beyond simple locks and keys, incorporating high-tech elements and surprising reveals that keep players fully engaged.
What sets this location apart is the professional game guide system. Staff members monitor your progress through cameras and provide hints through in-room screens, offering just enough guidance to keep you moving without spoiling the satisfaction of solving puzzles yourself. Most groups use about 7 clues during their session, which proves perfect for maintaining both momentum and challenge.
While prices run higher than some Pigeon Forge attractions (especially for larger groups), savvy visitors can find online discount codes for 15-20% off. Pro tip: book ahead during peak tourist seasons, as popular time slots fill quickly. Groups of 2-8 can play together, though 4-6 players typically works best for optimal puzzle-solving collaboration.
For first-time escape room players, Gold Rush offers an ideal entry point with its moderate difficulty level. Veterans seeking a serious challenge should tackle Prison Break, known for its complex puzzle sequences and lower success rate.

Prison Break Room
The most challenging room they've got, where you literally break out of individual cells before working together. We've seen groups high-five like crazy when they beat this one.
Gold Rush Adventure
Our favorite for mixed groups since it hits that sweet spot of challenging but doable. The Old West theming is really well done with multiple areas to explore.
The Heist Experience
Probably the most creative room with some seriously clever puzzle elements. The storyline keeps you engaged even when you're scratching your head over clues.

Staff watches and gives hints through screens without spoiling anything. It's way better than having someone physically in the room - keeps the immersion going.
