The 5 Escape Games:
Classified
Room Capacity: 6
After your 5-minute pre-game briefing, you will be supplanted right into a Mission Impossible level of a high-stakes covert operation as a group of military personnel tasked with the intense mission to stop an international threat by gathering intel on an attack before it happens. Infiltrate and put this heinous act to an end before it’s too late!
Gold Rush
Room Capacity: 6
Beat the mob to a treasure stash of California gold with the likes of nothing else! Clyde Hamilton, an ever eager, overly gluttonous gold prospector compiled quite the trove, but after making wagers more than he was willing to pay with the wrong crowd, Clyde has gone missing. Now, from the mines of Northern California to a remote mountain cabin, your team is racing against money-hungry mob goons who caught wind of the treasure to find Clyde’s fortune before time runs out!
The Heist
Room Capacity: 8
You are not the police, but you are using your ability to fly under the radar to beat a crook at his own game and recover a national treasure that was stolen by a thief of masterpieces. Search through intricate artwork and think like the criminal while surveying your surroundings to find the art and become a hero or be caught by the police at the end of your hour and be jailed as a petty thief, yourselves!
Prison Break
Room Capacity: 8
You are wrongfully imprisoned, life without the possibility of parole, for a crime you did not commit and your future seems bleak… but the cell you are currently residing in was once the dismal home to another inmate who mysteriously disappeared. Are the rumors true that the previous cell-dweller was murdered by the warden, known for his cruelty? Or was this inmate the real-life Andy Dufresne from The Shawshank Redemption and left behind clues to an escape for you and other innocent citizens… find the road to freedom before the warden gets a hold of you first!
Mission: Mars
Room Capacity: 8
You made it to Mars, but now you may be doomed to become a permanent resident! Your shuttle took a beating coming through the alien atmosphere, and your crew must fix the complex control systems, and fast, because your readings pick up an astronomical amount of cosmic radiation heading towards Mars. While you don’t have to bend time and space like Interstellar, there are a lot of wires and gadgets to synchronize in order to successfully launch and get back home to Earth!
Booking ahead is strongly recommended, so what are you waiting for? Solve the mysteries, beat the bad guys, or bravely lead your group to victory in The Escape Game in Pigeon Forge for the most exciting visit to the Smoky Mountains to date!

So, you got to be the good guys in these stories, but get to know the bad guys with a fun visit to Alcatraz East… Don’t worry, you don’t have to work to escape this scenario.
