Things to Do in Blue Ridge, GA

Most people come to the mountains to escape from the mundane routine of their 9 to 5, to kick back and relax by binging Netflix and enjoying the scenery from the car window. But we know there are multiple sides to every story, and some people come to the mountains to have that friendly reminder of being alive. For the fellow Adrenaline Junkie, we have picked a few things that are calling your name alongside the mountains.

Indoor Activities

Escape Room: Blue Ridge

Looking for a real life problem-svoling puzzel? Look no further: An escape room is an adventure game in which players are "locked" in a room and have to use elements of the room to solve a series of puzzles and escape within a set time limit. The games are physical versions of "escape the room" video games.

Your Game Master will control the game. If you are stumped, the Game Master will give you clues as you request. The Game Master will be watching you via video and can hear you via audio.   There will be a television screen that will be used to give hints as needed. A team should agree if a hint is used or not. The Game Master can make it hard or easier, depending on your needs.

The themes of the rooms/puzzles change relatively often, so be sure to take a look at Escape Blue Ridge's website to see what puzzles they currently have, and what's upcoming. They've had rooms from Wizard School of Magic, to Black Beard's Brig, to Prohibition. 

2nd Story Entertainment

2nd Story Entertainment is an indoor family fun center featuring a full 18 hole unique mini-golf course weaving in and out of 8 individually themed rooms of a 112 year old hotel. Also, on the golf course are other games such as a giant connect 4, giant checkers and two magnetic dart boards.

Light refreshments such as water, sodas and ice cream available to enjoy in the arcade rooms or outside deck.
