(0)With TVs, tablets, and cell phones taking up so much of our time today, visitors to Pigeon Forge are looking for ways to get away from it all. The Escape Game Pigeon Forge offers a pretty amazing alternative to playing Candy Crush, Snapchatting, or binge-watching Netflix.
How about a game you can play with family and friends that gets you moving, gets your blood pumping, offers some friendly competition, and keeps your mind racing until the very last second?! You’ll get all that and more at one of the newest attractions at The Island in Pigeon Forge. It’s the perfect way to get out of the cabin for a bit and take a break from the attractions you always see along the Parkway – miniature golf, arcades, go karts, old-time photos. Those are definitely favorites for a reason, but The Escape Game is a great opportunity to mix it up and do something new.
The premise of The Escape Game is simple. You’ll be locked in a room with 2-8 people with 1 hour to solve all the puzzles and escape. Beyond that, there is nothing simple about The Escape Game. Each game features an intricate network of clues, and you’ll have to use lots of different skills to put them together. You’ll find locks, codes, and more as you navigate your way with hands-on challenges in each room.
If you’re here on a honeymoon, you can book the whole room to yourself for a truly memorable experience. For groups, it’s a great way to have some fun and do some team building. Either way, the games here will put you to the test, and we know you’ll leave patting yourself on the back (if you escape) or wanting to come back to redeem yourself!

At The Escape Game
The Escape Game is conveniently located at The Island in Pigeon Forge, so you could park and play around there all day. You’ll also have some great options for food and drinks, so you really don’t have to leave for anything.
When you get to The Escape Game, you’ll get signed in and sign your waiver via the iPads on the wall. The awesome staff will tell you everything you need to know before getting started, and then your “game master” will take over to give you clues and help along the way during your game.
Each game can hold anywhere from 2 to 8 people. If you’re going with just a few people, you can join another group, or you can pay to book the entire room if you just want to do the challenge with the friends or family you came with. And because this is a new and awesome attraction, rooms book quickly. Reservations are strongly recommended, so you can book online ahead of time.
Once you’re done, you can check out all the great Escape Game gear in the shop, including “I Escaped…” shirts for whichever game you conquered. If you didn’t make it out, you’ll get the “I almost Escaped” stickers, but you can always grab an Escape Game t-shirt, too!

Our Experience
At Cabins for You, we focus on team building. And what better way to boost our team skills than by getting locked in a room together for an hour?! We took our marketing and reservations teams to Pigeon Forge to face The Escape Game challenge.
We split into 2 groups and played The Heist and Prison Break. Those in The Heist made it out with just minutes to spare, but those of us in Prison Break faced our fate of living out our days in prison. But both groups had an absolute blast! We all left talking about how soon we could go back, and we all learned more about leadership, working together, and thinking through problems with our team.
