Inside: A real parent review of The Great Escape Room in Pigeon Forge, TN. When you’re looking for things to do in Pigeon Forge with the family, this is one that family groups can do together.
Looking for something fun that teens and grandparents will enjoy? This spooky escape room at The Great Escape Room in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, entertained our whole family from teens to grandparents — even if Nana’s end was not quite as lucky!
The 60-minute challenge is full of eerie twists, creative puzzles, and just the right amount of suspense. It’s all set in total darkness, which means your family is solving clues by flashlight. (Yes, that’s fun and a bit chaotic.)
We made it out with minimal hints, but we would rate this room as challenging, especially for a group new to escape rooms.
The Storyline: What Happened to Nana?
You’ve lost touch with your reclusive Nana Hannah. It’s been weeks. You arrive at her mountain cabin at night and find…something’s not right. Are those blood streaks? Why is the power out? And where is Nana?
Why Plan a Trip to The Great Escape Room
- Escape rooms are great for all ages: Our group had teens, parents, and grandparents, and everyone had a blast.
- Rainy day or hot weather? Perfect indoor activity.
- Teens and grandparents working together? Escape rooms are awesome for bonding!
- They have multiple rooms with options for different sizes of groups and ages. We tried a spooky room, but they also had non-scary options.
Quick Tips for Escape Room First-Timers
- You’re never actually locked in — the door opens anytime.

- Unlimited hints: Use the in-room monitor and button when you’re truly stuck.
