I like escape rooms but when I'm somewhere new and visiting I usually like exploring local or something new but this escape room was honestly a highlight. We did the speakeasy one and it encompassed some local facts and was a great time overall. Recommend an escape room in Raleigh!

Fun escape room in downtown Raleigh. We completed the Castle of Loche room with 18 minutes to…read morespare. We completed most of the room in about 30 minutes and spent about 12 minutes on the last puzzle. The room was simpler than ones we have done in the past. It was still fun and we would recommend it to those new to doing escape rooms. The employee running the room was attentive. We did not ask for hints but he did nudge us in the right direction towards the end. He just did not seem very into it. Some escape rooms are more theatrical with more backstory and a review at the end. This one was simple and even though we completed the room, we left with questions about the story line. We LOVED all the signs set out for pictures. The meme boards were hilarious. We started on time, the instructions were clearly communicated, and all the equipment worked well. You can keep your belongings with you and set them on a chair in the room. We parked on the street since the adjacent lots are for church parking or AT&T employees only. Overall, we had a good time and recommend this escape room to others. We likely will return to try out the upcoming asylum room!

We have done several NERD escape rooms and decided to give Room 5280 a try. A friendly, attentive employee greeted us upon arrival. He clearly provided instructions and shared the room's accompanying story. The Sherlock room was shorter than we hoped, but it had decent challenges. We needed one hint and completed the room with about 15 min to spare. The employee hosting kept up with our progress and provided our requested clue in a timely manner. They have a bathroom to use and you can keep your things in the room with you. Bring a jacket as it was a bit chilly inside during our stay. I believe he said that room 5280 was going to update their rooms soon. I'm definitely looking forward to returning to try the updated rooms!

My wife and I recently visited Times Up! and we had a really good time…read more Most of the rooms at Times Up! required 4 or more participants, and since it was just the two of us, our only choice was the Room 555 escape room. Overall, I thought the room was a lot of fun. The moderator was nice, and the room had some good puzzles. My only complaints would be: 1) The text-to-speech computer program used to present the story and clues was a little awkward and clunky, and it definitely made it harder to immerse myself in the scenario. It'd be significantly better if a real person was reading the dialogue. Also, it felt like the background story could have been more interesting, although the clues were fun to figure out. 2) One of the clues was meant to be locked and they left it unlocked, so the moderator had to come in during the scenario and re-lock it for us. Not a big deal, but it did disrupt the event a bit. Overall, I liked Times Up! and would definitely come back.
