This was great for team building. Staff was friendly and helpful. Definitely will try this adventure again!

I came back today for my 3rd room here. This place continues to impress. We were greeted by a wonderful lobby host who I believe is named Carol. We had an excellent and attentive game master (Andrew) for the Hostage room. We were able to escape just in time because he was so attuned to our game and gave us super helpful clues as soon as we needed them! The icing on the cake today was that the lobby host overheard my conversation about being super hungry waiting for my scheduled birthday dinner. She offered me some snacks to hold me over as they are celebrating their record-breaking bookings today. What an amazing place with excellent customer service! Every staff member seems willing to go above and beyond and they all clearly love their jobs. I hope they keep it up so I can keep coming back! P.S. I've now completed/passed Operation: Casino, Kidnapping, and Hostage. Kidnapping is my favorite one! read more

We love this place! Carroll took our reservation and was super helpful and very personable! She rearranged the time to accommodate my son's birthday party. We had a group of six 13 year olds and they escaped! They talked about the experience all of the way home! Highly recommend! read more

Traveling through the Greensboro area and was looking for something to do with friends. We decided to try an escape room for the first time and ended up doing two back to back. The staff are friendly and excited to be there, the rooms were well thought out and just difficult enough. We had a great time and will definitely comeback if we are in the area again. read more

First impressions: customer service was really awesome. Our party was half there and the other half was coming in late. So after 10 minutes had passed our reservation, one of the staff members kindly informed us that the 10 min grace period has passed and asked if we wanted to go ahead and begin while the other half can come in late. We were happy they weren't rude to us at all and handled our group's tardiness very professionally. Our game master was great - paid attention to us and helped us when we needed it. I've been to countless other escape rooms where we've asked for clues and the game master would seem like they were reading off of a script instead of actually listening to what we were doing and helping us with what we were trying to solve. Our game master was very attentive and didn't overdo any clues. The only thing I would say as a feedback is to have props for the end-game photo catered toward the theme of the room that we solved! That's it! The room we solved is called: "Operation Casino". read more

We did the island escape and it was great! Our game master molly was so kind and helpful. She helped us when we only got half of the clues we needed to on one of the steps (didn't get all the balls we needed). We had a great time taking pictures in the photo booth afterwards! read more

We did the kidnapping escape room. We got out in about 53 minutes. It was a really good experience. Difficult, but not frustrating. Andrew was a really good game master: funny, helpful, accommodating. I'd love to do another room with him as our game master. Can't wait to come back. read more

We tried the Mystery Mansion room. So much fun. The puzzles are challenging and very unique. We had Josie as our guide and host. She was so helpful and patient when we just weren't getting it. We had a good time and can't wait to go back. read more

1/4/18: editing my review to add that the manager, Ethan, made things 100% right for us. He contacted me (several times, actually!) immediately after hearing my concerns, and generously offered us a free visit and even offered to buy us dinner to round out our next experience. Mistakes happen, and sometimes staff members have bad days too - we totally get it. It's not often these days you find a company willing to bend over backwards for their customers, and it's clear that the ownership at Breakout makes the customer experience a top priority. It was also refreshing that not a single excuse was made, just a "we are so sorry and hope you'll let us make it right". We look forward to revisiting. Museum Heist next time! ;) ORIGINAL REVIEW: We came here over the holidays and did the kidnapped room. Enjoyed it and had a fantastic game host (Molly) so we booked another room for a few days later and brought our Dad so he could experience a room with us. When we arrived, we were told that they had added another group of 4 people to our party of 5 (making our group over what they say is the "maximum" group online). The group that was added to our group was a walk in (no reservation) and part of a large group they were clearly trying to accommodate (hello, revenue). We asked if we could wait for a different breakout room or to go on our own, but were told no and given no alternative options. Our room host this time was a complete, personality-less dud (Paul) and the room was overcrowded. There were simply too many people. It made it no fun at all. The people added to our room (a group of teens) were also rude to our shy 11 year old and kept trying to exclude her from "solving" any of the clues. By the end, she was in tears and didn't want to ever come back. The game host didn't notice or say anything. We couldn't wait to leave. Although we had a good first experience and couldn't wait to go back, I doubt we will ever return after our second experience. It isn't cheap - $125+ for 5 people, so to have such a flat, mediocre experience leaves a really bad taste in your mouth. There's another, similar company in Mebane and we will be trying that option next time. read more

Obviously I'm going against the grain here, seeing their 5 star rating amongst 25 reviews, but this certainly wasn't a five star experience for us! Very cool in theory, and easily accessible off Wendover Ave, this location of the franchised Breakout Games is appealing to a lot of people. Our group of eight came in on a Saturday night for a 8:50pm time slot. After conversations on the phone, and in person in the lobby, we were eager to go with their suggestion of the Museum Heist. Through both conversations they were certainly aware that this was a first for us, and were told once arriving that this is certainly quite challenging. Once your signed in you're brought to your room and given brief instructions of which are mainly to not break anything. If you've done anything similar to this then you'll know somewhat of how to begin. This being our first, we wasted nearly seven minutes just figuring out how to get in our room to begin. Our moderator had to chime in to instruct us on how to begin, and then throughout the game he continued to offer free advice to move us along. When our time was over, NO we didn't escape, the moderator came in to explain how you should've finished. If it wasn't for his continued help, we wouldn't have come nowhere near as far as we did! For newbies, this really wasn't a fun experience nor worth the nearly $175 price tag. As we were leaving, the group that went in before us was leaving with the exact same feeling! Though extremely successful, I feel as though for a long term success they'll have to be more in tune with their customer base. Though you wouldn't want it to be easy, defeating the point, you certainly want the experience to be about repeat customer experiences. Whether that be a more definitive beginners room offer, or more of a explanation before entering the game of what to expect and how to begin. They are extremely vague of giving up information about your pending experience, and that's fine, but don't you want me ultimately to come back and be a repeat customer? Bring those out of town guests like I did this time. At this point I don't know that anyone in this group of eight would return or recommend to anyone. read more

Honestly I did not know what to expect. I had seen escape rooms on shows like 2 Broke Girls but never thought I would be participating in one. Of the options we chose the Museum Heist. We needed 3 extra clues from the moderator. We kept these to a minimum. The task is not easy - and as a group of 9 everyone had something to offer. Just 2 of us knew each other - probably better with a bunch of strangers - gives you opportunity to get multiple points of view. Experience is worth it. Place is clean and the rooms are well thought out. You must come here with a willingness to mingle and participate. I was here for a Yelp event and not sure I would have tried otherwise. However I really recommend this particular place and it's worth the cash. I had a really good time. Our team worked together to break out. I then shared with my FB friends and text friends. I would definitely do this again. So much fun - it wasn't easy - you will feel accomplished. Don't bring young kids - maybe tweens or older. Breakout Games is a welcome addition to Greensboro. Meredith did a great job with this Yelp event and let's spread the word how cool this place is. Check it out - it's different - it's fun - you will feel a sense of accomplishment if you break out and disappointed if you don't - either way wanting more. Next time I will get the idea early for what to work for. All rookies in my room and we still figured it out - barely - which is more fun read more

Had a great time on Wednesday at Breakout Games doing the Escape the Island room. It was the first escape room for both my mom and my nephew and both had a great time. The puzzles were challenging, and our game master Chris was funny and helpful. Would recommend to anyone looking for a fun escape room experience. read more

We have done two rooms here. The first one we did was The Kidnapping. We had a group of five and we were so excited...until a couple walked in at the last minute and wanted to join our room. The girl working asked if we minded...what we're going to say? No? So we said ok and they pretty much ruined it for us. The room was good and we escaped but we didn't enjoy having those two with us. The owner was super sweet and invited us back to try another room. This time we did Casino with just our group of five and WOW it was amazing! Had such a great time:..and escaped! We definitely enjoyed it more this time. We have been to one other escape room place and this one was done much better than that one. Everything is very authentic and the staff is great. read more

We loved this and I would definitely come back here, either for a special occasion or if I were looking for something to do with family, friends, even dates. I think escape rooms might be the new mini-golf! As a bonus, it seems like they regularly offer discounts - upcoming specials include food donations for discounted entry fees and a birthday event with 36% off, so look into those. Two friends and I came for the Yelp event and had a blast! I did not want to do anything too intense, so kidnapping and hostage situations were out, although having done one, I'd be willing to give that a try. We opted for the Museum Heist situation; among the group, we were all new to the escape rooms but we did pretty well and had a blast! There were a ton of riddles to solve and some mechanical/physical things to deal with, so I felt like everyone had a chance to showcase some escaping skillz. I think if we had a seasoned person or two, we could have gotten out of there faster, but that is just my deeply competitive spirit talking. read more

As this is our 6th escape room at Breakout, I think we can whole heartedly say that we love them! The fun, creative ideas that go into the games are incredible! Our amazing game master (Lily) was so kind and helpful giving us the many hints we needed. We did Submarine Survival which was quite hard but very fun! And yet our favorite game is still Clue with amazing mechanics! Would highly recommend Breakout games!! read more

We had an AWESOME time! Took our family of 5 - me, my husband, and three girls (9, 12, & 14) and scheduled Operation Casino. The staff was very courteous, informative, and punctual. Game was lots of fun because we were all able to participate in working to solve the mystery. Kids want to go back for more challenges. Great activity for corporate team building, date night, family fun, youth group, ... read more

Went here today and did the Island Room. Great experience and thought provoking scene. Katy was our game master and she was sweet and helpful. A must try! Ps. We did break out! read more

This was a great experience and the staff was very helpful. I enjoyed the team building environment that the games foster. It's a great way to end your business meetings or training week. read more

Carol was our games master--she was awesome! What a very fun time we had. Thank you.

Celena was our AMAZING breakout coach. We did the casino room. We will be back to see her very soon. I will say that the casino room was extremely challenging and it is 90% geared toward casino knowledge. read more

Runaway Train is fun! This is supposed to be one of the harder ones and I see why. This breakout follows the storyline of the brakes not working and you're stuck on the train. Rules are simple and explained well. Now the hard part, thinking! It's definitely fun to go in a group, we had 6! We had to really work together to figure out how to escape. I really enjoyed this since it does make you think and communicate with others. I didn't care too much for the game master's clues. They didn't seem thought out as well as they coulda been. However he was still helpful when we needed him. Now I'm ready to try another scenario...just don't forget it's by appointment only. read more

What an awesome time!! We signed up with a group of 8 and took on the Museum Heist scenario. The staff was super friendly upon arrival and we were quickly put into our room, briefed by Matt and the time started. Our group broke out in 55:00 and we were thrilled!! We can't wait to go back and try the other scenarios available. read more

My office went for our Holiday party and it was a blast! The game master gave good clues when we needed them and we finished just in time! It was interesting and clever and we all had a blast. Would do it again. Ross is a great game master for the museum heist scenario! read more

We had a fantastic time playing the Casino heist. The whole family participated for our 12 year old's birthday (including the grandparents). The reception was nice. Kady was our gamemaster who was extremely friendly and helpful when we needed guidance. We're excited to return. read more

Went to Breakout Games for a Work Team Bonding activity. We did the Railroad room and it was super fun!! We ended up needing only 2 clues and Chris was the best games master ever!! It was a challenge for my group, but in the best way possible. Would definitely recommend this to anyone on the fence. read more

We had a great time. Casino was fun but not overly difficult and fine for kids (probably 8 & up). Kady was our guide and helped us when we needed it without just giving us the answers. read more

Jordan was such a good game master! My group was able to break out with a few minutes to spare thanks to her helpful but not too helpful clues! This was my first time playing a break out game ( Mystery Mansion) and I would definitely go back to play the other ones! So much fun! read more

Went for a company outing. This was my first experience with escape rooms and it did not disappoint. The staff was awesome and we managed to breakout with less than a minute left! Highly recommend read more

Omg. Fantastic time. We did Casino. We made it out with 2 minutes to spare. It was super challenging. We went with 3 teens and 4 adults and everyone had a part in solving the puzzles etc. Cant wait to do another room. read more

What a great time!! This was my first escape room experience and it was fantastic!! Andrew was an awesome game master! He gave you enough to look in the right direction but not enough to ruin the fun!! I will totally be back for more Break Out fun!! read more

Breakout Games hosted my daughter's 13th birthday party! It was a HUGE hit! Our room master "Kat" provided clues as the girls needed- but not too many! They had a great time. Highly recommend! read more

Had our first experience at Breakout (10/12/18) and what a great time it was. We walked in without reservations and were told our options for upcoming experiences and we booked their newest room Runaway Train. The wait was not long and the customer service while we wait was excellent. The young woman working the check in joked with us and answered all our questions. The game play was phenomenal. Chris, our game master, was outstanding. He provided excellent clues and he even came to our rescue when we had a tech issue with the interactive screen. The theming and detail in the room was unreal. It really looked like a train car. Five stars all the way. Can't wait to do it again. read more

Was so much fun. Perfect for a group of 6-8 people. gage was the best game master! He was friendly, explained everything and gave us the right amount of assistance. I recommend this to anyone especially for birthdays or other group functions. We can't wait to try this again in. We completed the museum heist room. read more

We went to Island Escape and had a lot of fun. Katie was a wonderful host. We will definitely go back!

I've been wanting to check out escape rooms for a long time but couldn't organize a group that was willing to give it a try with me. So when a Yelp event popped up for this place AND fit my schedule, I seized the opportunity! The concept of escape rooms is that you are placed in a themed room that follows a specific plot, and your group has up to 60 minutes to try and escape the room by solving puzzles and cracking codes. You are playing a game, much like in the Saw movies, except without all the gore. There are 5 different available games: Island Escape, The Kidnapping, Museum Heist, Operation: Casino, and Hostage. Island Escape is new and was not available when I participated. I was placed in The Kidnapping, which you begin as a captive with handcuffs and a blindfold on. Escape rooms are great as a team building exercise. How well you do depends on how well you work as a group, though if your group is stuck, you may ask staff for help. A staff member watches your group via video camera and will provide hints, if requested. The locks can be very finicky. Even though we had the right code, it had to be perfectly aligned in order to open. We were just millimeters off on a number or two, and the staff told us to retry the code on the lock because we had the correct code. At the end, you take a group photo with a sign that indicates how long it took your team to solve the game, or with a sign that indicates that you almost solved it. It costs $26 to play. Working with a group of complete strangers was very challenging for this type of activity, but I am still glad that I was able to experience it. read more

A great time had by all! The staff is super friendly and help make the experience even better. The facility is clean and well organized. You can tell that a lot of time and effort has been put into the layout of the whole facility especially the room itself, in this case " kidnapped" I won't give anything away, so I will just leave it at that. Highly recommended for a fun and challenging experience with friends or family. We started making plans to try one of the other rooms they have as we were headed back to our car! Had a blast! read more

Such a fun idea for a night out! Broke out of the Hostage room with 7 minutes left and lots of clues from our Game Master Molly. We ended up playing with another group we didn't know, which I was hesitant about at first, but there was more than enough for everyone to do! Great customer service. Creative and challenging rooms. read more

I like this place I am trying to make it long enough to allowed my 5 stars for yelp so i hope you come here it's great even during covid

We did the Hostage room and it was great. Our game master was Chris and he was super fun and helpful. We hope to get him as game master next time! There is plenty to figure out but if it gets too difficult you can ask for clues if your whole team agrees on getting one. I think this is a great opportunity for friends or family to get together and have a good time. It is something new to experience. Even if you are looking for a date night idea, this would work. Just try something different! read more
