Given all the amazing Escape Rooms to choose from in the Atlanta area, this win is especially satisfying.

Each of our four escape rooms (soon to be five) has a unique theme, storyline and puzzles that’ll keep you thrilled and on your toes throughout the 60-minute game. You’ll have to use your logic, creativity, and communication skills to find clues, solve riddles and escape before time runs out. But don’t worry, our ever-friendly game masters are ready to help you with hints if you get stuck.

5 (of the many) Reasons Why You Should Visit an Escape Room…and Some Tips on How to Conquer the Game When You Do!
- Experience an exhilarating rush of excitement as you challenge yourself and your team to solve puzzles and escape the room before time runs out.
- Strengthen your relationship with family and friends by working together and having fun.
- Immerse yourself in a themed environment like a mad scientists lab, a dingy London basement, a Hawaiian beach party, a creepy cabin in the woods or even an adventure in space!
- Break free of routine! Stimulate your imagination and creativity while enjoying the rare opportunity to play a new and different role.
- Exercise your problem-solving ability, communication skills and memory by tackling all kinds of puzzles and mental challenges.
And here are some tips to winning an escape room:
– Choose your team wisely, try to determine each player’s strengths, and assign roles and responsibilities accordingly.
– Pick your chosen escape destination based upon your group’s collective interests and skill set.
– Pay close attention to your Game Master…really listen to their words…they could quietly drop a hint or give you a clue at any time.
– Communicate and listen to your teammates. Yell out loudly anything you find and anything you need. Remember, it’s all about teamwork so don’t work in a vacuum.
– Manage your time carefully. Don’t spend too much time on any one puzzle and be sure to watch the clock…time has a mysterious way of moving faster when you’re racing against it!
– Stay calm. Don’t panic. Don’t give up. If you get stuck, ask for help from a team member or from your Game Master…or just switch to another puzzle.
– Search thoroughly, but remember that although it’s true that clues can be tricky to find…sometimes they’re hiding in plain sight.
– Divide and Conquer. Spread out your efforts. A good escape room will have many clue streams so don’t all focus the same puzzle.
– Stay organized. Remaining focused on the task at hand and keeping track of found clues in a tidy fashion will help you move faster through the game.
– Be mindful of numbers, symbols, patterns, or anything else that might possibly be relevant to the puzzles.
– Don’t break things or force things open. Please, use only gentle force and always respect the rules of the house.

A Very Brief Origin of Our Escape Rooms
For those new to our organization, Escape the NETHERWORLD is a series of exciting and challenging adventure games brought to you by the team behind the Atlanta Halloween mainstay, Netherworld Haunted House. Since 1997, Netherworld has been applauded by national and local media, as well as from a fan base that spans all 50 states and beyond. As illustrated by being named to a myriad of Top 10 Haunted House lists (including numerous stints in the #1 spot) by the likes of Yahoo, Buzzfeed, Fangoria, Dread Central, USA Today etc…we’ve always prided ourselves on producing high quality entertainment. While at our previous location of 20+ years in Norcross, GA, we had only dipped our toe into the Escape Game realm with the offering of a small, but quite complex 3-Minute Escape Room called “The Mangler’s Fear Machine”…this was great fun but only made us thirsty for more! In late 2017 we moved into a new facility that allowed us the physical space needed to expand beyond seasonal haunted house offerings and thus we ventured full-speed into Escape Games, and later, into the wild world of Laser Tag.
No strangers to creating immersive storylines, elaborate set design and exemplary customer experiences, we dove into the crowded Atlanta Escape Game market with zeal. And although a relative newcomer to the still fledgling escape game industry here in the U.S., our games were quick to garner both critical and popular acclaim. An important thing to note though, is that our escape rooms are not scary like their namesake haunted house. Despite this fact, they still possess the same adrenaline inducing fun quotient and attention to detail that Atlanta has come to love and expect from the Netherworld name. So if you’re concerned that these escape games will be too scary, please know that although they all have really creepy fun themes, they are not Haunted Houses. There are of course incredible props to look at and engage with…and an obligatory startle here and there, but by no means should you enter these escape rooms thinking “haunted house”. In reference to the aforementioned startles, if you’re the real nervous type, just let your friendly gamemaster know and they’ll be happy tame it all the way down for you…conversely if you have no reservations about getting startled, let us know that too!
Like most escape rooms in the greater Atlanta area and beyond, you and your team will have one hour to explore mysterious rooms, solve clever puzzles and beat the game before your time runs out…but unlike any other escape room in America…these escape rooms are distinctly “NETHERWORLD”.
We hope you’ll consider visiting, we really are just a short hop outside the perimeter (you know, OTP, please don’t hold that against us Atlanta peeps)…finding a building this big on 10 acres Inside the Perimeter proved to be a puzzle that even the best escape game enthusiast couldn’t solve.
We’re conveniently located just a short drive from Atlanta, just up HWY 78 off Exit 9 at 1313 Netherworld Way.
