Group of four late 20 year olds came from out of town for a concert and found ourselves here on a Saturday afternoon and we had SO. MUCH. FUN!! - paint mission was so fun and more intense than we expected but in the best way - drinks were delicious - didn't try the food but looked good - busy but the business handled it well - staff was great and super friendly. Shoutout to Rocky!! - price is expensive but absolutely worth it! read more

I hosted my child's 14th birthday party at Beat the Bomb, and it was a fantastic experience. It's an especially great option if you've already done most of the typical activities around Charlotte and want something different and memorable. Each birthday group is assigned a host who guides the kids through the experience, and that really sets the tone for the event. A great host can make all the difference with keeping the energy high and the group engaged. Although it was busy, there was ample seating. Management, the front desk team, and the bartenders were all friendly, attentive, and professional. Overall, it was a fun event that I'd recommend for teen birthday parties. read more

If you're looking for a high-energy, hilarious, and totally unique experience, Beat The Bomb is it. My family and I had an absolute blast. The challenges are a perfect mix of puzzle-solving, teamwork, and chaos--you're literally racing against the clock (and sometimes exploding "bombs" in a safe, fun way). The staff is super friendly and makes the whole experience feel immersive and exciting. The space is clean, well-designed, and really adds to the adrenaline rush. Definitely a must-do for group outings, date nights, or just a fun adventure in Charlotte. read more

We came to beat the bomb for a friend's birthday, we had a absolute blast. Rocky and Braden were super helpful and nice. The games were challenging, but not too hard and the paint splash was unexpectedly fast but we really enjoyed ourselves. I am also so glad that they have a bar here. read more

I had a horrible experience with the bartender Aron, very unprofessional and rude. My girlfriend had went to the bar to order food for one of the kids in our family group, she payed in cash. As she was waiting for the food at the bar her name was on the screen for our booth, so I went over and hugged her and let her know that it was her turn to play. She said that she was waiting for the guy to give her change, so I said I would wait and she can go and join the rest of our group. I waited patiently as this man took his time with the change and just kept staring at my girlfriend walking away and then I ask him, "hey man could I get the change", he held onto the my money and would not give it to me. Wouldn't even talk to me and just ignored me standing in front of him while he started at my girlfriend walking away to the booth (very creepy) I said "that's my girlfriend she's over there and just ordered". Aron can clearly see that I'm with her and she's apart of my group. Seeing this in front of him he still refused to give me my money. I had to go back to my booth and tell my girlfriend to stop playing the game that we payed for and walk to the bar for Aron to hand her the change and not me. I felt disrespected, and will not be going back there again because of this rude and creepy man named Aron read more

We had a blast (pun intended!) at the new Beat the Bomb in South End. It's a unique and fun experience that the Charlotte neighborhood needs for all ages. You can have a group of 4-8 people to work together to complete puzzles and escape rooms. The last room is where you try to "beat the bomb" or you get blasted with paint (or foam - you choose). The staff was friendly, explained everything clearly, and made sure we were all set up before starting. We went with VIP which you got a free shirt, free videos of your game experience, a free drink and appetizer. For all of that its a pretty good price! The signature cocktails were super sweet and sugary, I wasn't a fan, but they do have a full bar. The dips also all came out cold, but the pretzel bites were delicious. Our video footage wasn't sent to us so the staff had to re-download it all onto a USB for us which took about 20 minutes. Overall, I'd recommend Beat the Bomb if you're looking for something exciting or to bring out of town guests to. It's a great addition to the area, and I'll definitely be back! read more

Went with my family and had a great time. Would recommend although tickets are a bit expensive.

5/5 My family and I had a great time at beat the bomb! I loved the interactive rooms. The staff was so helpful from the time we walked in until we left. We didn't have dinner but we enjoyed strawberry lemon drops. I would definitely return for a good time read more

Beat The Bomb Charlotte - My family - Escape Games Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

This was a pretty cool spot and we had a lot of fun. There are five rooms in total, and the first four rooms are all about accumulating time for the final mission. You spend about 10 minutes in each room, and the goal is to pass as many levels as you can. Every level you pass gives you extra time for the last room. If you fail the last mission, you get blasted. The final mission felt a little too easy, compared to the first four rooms. Still, it was a fun experience! read more

Had a great time! I went with family from ages 18-30 and we all had so much fun! We were dying laughing. Staff was super clear with instructions. We did the spooky themed option - the red was easy to wash off in their wash area (make sure to get it off at that time especially if you're doing something after bc it will stain your skin for a bit). I'd absolutely do it again! Can't wait to try their other options. read more

SO MUCH FUN! I went with six friends to celebrate my bday. I wanted to do something different. Beat The Bomb delivered! We had to rack up points in four challenges. One was like Mission Impossible trying to get across the room avoiding laser beams! You had to run, think, strategize - teamwork makes the dream work! We chose foam at the end - less traumatizing than paint or slime. They have a bar with GREAT Jell-O shots and strong cocktails! read more

This was my first time here! Three friends and I played the Paint Bomb Mission. Booking: There's an option to select Slime, Paint, or Foam Bomb Mission. You'll require a minimum of 4 players (6 max) to play. Standard tickets will cost you $44.95 (per person) which includes admission, photos, and a video. FYI - photos/video are taken after you are splashed with paint (if you fail the mission of course). A deposit is required when booking. Facilities: When you enter, a security guard will ask for your ID (FYI - no outside food/drinks allowed). After a certain time (8 PM I believe) it's 21 and up only. Facility was clean and decorated from head to toe. I can't comment on their food and drinks as I ate before I arrived. After checking in your group is to come up with a name (my group - Bumble bees). A single locker was provided for all 4 of us to place personal belongings. When I visited, a DJ was there playing music - created good vibes. Paint Bomb Mission: Wear comfortable clothing and dress light. Before starting the mission, employee mentioned this is not like the escape room = you can walk out the door at any time (need to remove an article of clothing etc.) Certain rooms (Lazer Maze) will cause you to break a sweat. My group played through 4 rooms (Hack Attack, Echo Chamber, Floor Grid, and Lazer Maze) to get to the final room (Cyperbot) where we were blasted with paint!!! The more successful you are in rooms 1 - 4, provides you with more time to complete the final mission in room 5. Before entering the final room, you are provided a hazmat suit, shoe covers and a helmet. I was covered head to toe, not a single drop of paint on me; keep your head tucked and you'll be just fine. After completing the mission, you can just chill and watch the monitors as other groups are completing their missions. People in the lounge can view your group in the final room. Paint seemed to be the most requested; Foam Bomb was WEAK!!! My recommendations: - The music was soo loud inside the building. It was difficult to hear instructions from employees. - Slow down the instructions inside the rooms. They prompt fast and only display once. Would highly recommend to others! Great activity for adults!! read more

We went to Beat the Bomb on vacation in Atlanta and LOVED it so when they emailed us a promotion for our next visit we had to try the one in Charlotte! I will say overall the experience at Charlotte was more underwhelming and confusing, less clear on the rules and support from the crew than Atlanta. Sadly we did not get our photos back (we got them immediately after Atlanta and it's been almost a day at Charlotte so nothing crazy) and getting in touch with them via phone is impossible so we just have to wait for an email response to get the photos and videos that come with the experience, but other than that it was a great time! read more

Everything about this place is fun. My girls and I had a great time from the moment we walked inside. Straight to the bar and ordered Green Tea Shots!!!! So good we had two rounds. We then headed to the rooms and it was so much fun. The rooms made you put on your thinking caps, memory skills and your flexibility; which then added to your time actually getting BOMBED at the end of it all. We chose to be paint bombed but there's also foam and slime bombing. This spot is dope...there's a DJ and you can rent a galley way (I believe that's what it's called) for a party. Parking sucks over here but that's the only downfall. read more

Everyone run and go check this place out! You will not be disappointed. Hands down, 10 stars!! Highly recommended! I visited BEAT THE BOMB tonight for their Soft Opening and I have not had this much fun in a long time.. Omg, it was so much fun and laughter. From Jas greeting me with a warm smile and welcoming personality, Timara encouraging me to play the game when I registered because I wasn't going to play and checking in to make sure I was ok and Hope providing excellent service with the food. This place definitely great vibes and a fun atmosphere! Even though my team, One Fam did not beat the bomb, I will definitely be back again for revenge I'm going to beat that Bomb! Team One Fam read more

Beat The Bomb Charlotte - Outside the building. - Escape Games Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I booked this experience for my daughter's 15th birthday, hoping to do something memorable and unique with her friends something beyond the usual escape room. Unfortunately, what we got was a scheduling mess and some sub par customer service. We received a call 20 minutes before our confirmed reservation letting us know it couldn't happen mind you we were 10 minutes away already and we drove 45 minutes to get there. No one caught the issue in advance, no heads-up, no time to pivot or reschedule guests. Ryan let us know the facility wasn't even open and didn't open until 3pm. Our reservation was booked for noon. I also got a confirmation email 2 days prior. Try explaining that to a group of teens who rearranged their summer schedules around this one day and were excited for something outside the usual escape room experience. Yes, we were offered a reschedule or refund but let's be clear: that's the bare minimum you offer when a company is at fault. The day was salvaged only because we scrambled to find another facility at the last second. Thankfully, someone else was more competent. Unless this company seriously rethinks how it handles bookings and communication, I wouldn't trust them with another important event. Birthdays shouldn't come with a backup plan. read more

We had a great time, the games were fun and challenging. Loved the vibes and environment. Would definitely recommend for a family fun day or work event. Drinks and food all tasted good. read more
