Escapology Escape Rooms Charlotte has some strong points. The room themes are well-designed,…read moreimmersive, and visually interesting. Unfortunately, the overall experience fell short compared to many other escape rooms we have played. My group has completed every escape room in Charlotte, along with numerous rooms in other states and several overseas, so we have a broad basis for comparison. One of the biggest issues was the size of the rooms. They felt cramped and crowded, and while the advertised capacity may be higher, the rooms seem best suited for two to four players at most. The puzzles were also frustrating at times. Many of the clues felt overly convoluted, and the room lacked a clear sense of progression. Rather than flowing naturally from one puzzle to the next, the challenges often felt disconnected and lacked cohesion. The game management also impacted our experience. We were told that the game masters were monitoring multiple rooms simultaneously, which appeared to contribute to delays. At one point, we successfully completed a piano-based puzzle multiple times, but nothing happened. After repeating it several times, a game master finally noticed and advanced the puzzle. Situations like this can be particularly frustrating when time is limited. Overall, Escapology Charlotte offers attractive themes and creative room designs, but the small room sizes, inconsistent puzzle flow, and game-master oversight issues detracted from the experience. With some refinements, it could be a much stronger escape room destination.

Fun, entertaining, and highly recommended!…read more They have a bunch of interesting looking options and we decided to go with the 7 Deadly Sins room. It was very well done, and much more challenging than we were anticipating. We had a good time and thought the staff was great as well. Looking forward to coming back to try another room.

Seth, Brandon, and Austin are incredible at the escape game. Highly recommend. 10/10.read more

At the time of my visit there was only one person working and she was in the back taking care of a group. She came out to briefly to answer a few questions and handed me a card showing the different rooms, she then told me to go on the website for more info then darted into the back as I snapped a few photos of the inside. I checked out the website and shared my findings with my teenage son who was not overly thrilled about getting trapped in a room and finding his was out through the clues therein! I guess I'll be back with a more mature group to check out Escape Artist.

Had a great time. Our game Master Daniel was amazing! Thanks guys! We will be back.read more

So much fun!! We did Mansion! It was a really cool experience!…read more Here are our notes: 1) Andrew was our game host and DJ was our Butler! They were great! We asked for a couple hints and they were very helpful! 2) We loved the decorations! They were really cool! It was very immersive! 3) We escaped! (Barley lol) ( I think we had 1 min left ) (You can find our chip in the escaped box lol) 4) You really had to use your brain and your whole team! We all added different ideas/thoughts! Everything was needed! It really pushed us to our limits lol 5) We would definitely recommend! We will probably do another escape room from this place! Great experience!

We met Tara who lead us into our mission to find the doctor that could make the antidote to save humanity. If you like puzzles, and you'll have a blast. It's pretty interesting figuring stuff out and when you get stuck, just ask for help and a voice from the sky aka the -masters will give you. Clue to help you over the hurdle. I love the detail in the escape rooms, everything from the glowing letters and numbers to to drop down shelves and drawers that open. This is a Covid safe activity since you are only with your group; I highly recommend Valcarol Missions Scape room in Concord, NC. Thanks Tara for our escape and for helping us save the world!

This was a really cool escape room. We completed the hidden lab mission. They do give unlimited…read morehints so that did help us in getting out of the room in time. We were two adults and 9 teenagers so it was a little chaotic but we liked the technology and screens that were used. It was a mostly linear room which I prefer so you don't have a million codes you need to remember the whole time. Will come again to try out another room for sure.

I have no idea what this kick ass escape room is doing in teeny-tiny Hudson, NC just off Hwy 321…read morebut I'm so glad they're there! We thought we knew good escape rooms having visited a few impressive ones (and a few not so impressive ones) in Charlotte, but Xscape's Curse of the Mummy room put them all to shame! My husband's family lives in Valdese, just 20 minutes or so from this escape room, and when we were looking for something fun to do with his sister for her birthday, we decided to book at Xscape. They only have the one room right now but are working hard to open a second (involving diffusing a bomb, I'm told) in the coming months. The Curse of the Mummy room incorporates amazing props, immersive "scenery," and incredible technology. Seriously, it's the best room we've ever experienced, hands down. I don't want to give away too much, but will tell you that I'm still emptying sand out of my shoes a couple hours after escaping with just a few minutes to spare. ;)

The atmosphere set you back to the 17-1800s and felt like you were seriously standing in the middle of Poe's story. Its eerie setting and mysteries really set the tone. The owners are super sweet, too! We enjoyed getting to talk with them and get to know their story behind the start of Nocturne Adventures. Check them out (and don't second guess the location. I'd rather this than a random big warehouse any day)!

We've already played both rooms, but we will definitely be going back to play them again... and to take our kids to meet 'The Ripper'. They have put SO much thought and work into both rooms... it's hard to say which is my favorite bc they're both awesome rooms. Hands down in our top 3 and we've done hundreds of escape rooms. Check them out... you won't regret it!!
