Our host was very nice; we were running pretty late due to traffic & he was super flexible in accommodating us. He also gave clear instructions at our arrival & was available for hints throughout our time in the room. There are a few parking spots behind the building or street parking. 10/10 would recommend!

My niece and I were in Raleigh for a couple days and she had never done an escape room. What an…read moreawesome way to fill up a little open time in out trip! The workers were friendly and helpful. We did the Dracula room. The props and decorations were fitting. Our only complaint was that two of the puzzles we solved didn't work quite properly and slowed us down. Even though, we recommend!

Great experience and team activity. Z and Ezekiel were amazing! The group really enjoyed themselves…read moreand I will definitely be back for another experience!

We had so much fun! It was actually pretty cool and this is my first ever escape room, but I highly…read moreenjoyed the academia vibe of the one we went to. For some reason, I thought it would be kind of horror based, but just excited to see that it's more clues and sleuthing than thriller. The employees were very nice too! There were four people in total that came with for this event, and the owner was very kind to let us change our original times due to night shifts. Just for this reason, I have 100% will be back and appreciate his help! Thank you!

Awesome escape rooms with challenging tasks, engaging hosts, and adequate background stories. They…read moreare understandably comparable to adjacent NERD escapes. 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!

We had a group of 6 ranging in age from 11 to 84. It was a great room filled with a variety of…read moredifferent types of puzzles that allowed all to assist in solving. It was a great experience and I would (and will) refer to others! So many escape rooms just use the same type of puzzle and the variety really had us on our toes - WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE!!

Came here with my wife recently and completed one of the escape rooms! We had a really good time…read moreand would definitely come back. Parking was pretty easy since Game On is part of an outdoor shopping mall. Importantly, there are two levels to the mall, and Game On is located on the top level. We completed the Odin's Trial room in the allotted time, with a few hints from our gamemaster Spundun :) Everything in the room worked as expected, which is always appreciated. In general, escape rooms feel a little overpriced to me, but we did have fun, so I guess I can't complain! Overall, I'd recommend Game On.

It was great that we had at all times someone monitoring what we were doing and who could give us clues on demand. In the end we didn't get out :( ( almost did though ) but we still enjoyed it. The only reason why I am taking one star away is because it is a bit pricey. If this is for group of friends where everyone pays for their ticket then it works but if it is a family and the dad or mom is paying for the whole family then it is expensive. If the price was more affordable I would definitely plan on going again. Not for now.

It was a bit hot in the room and it didn't have a countdown clock until the final room, but the set dressings and use of the architecture made up for that! It was also fairly cheap(25$ a person) which was great!

Decided to check out this escape room with my friend tonight - we do one every other week or so!…read more We entered the room and although it looks outdated compared to most, the room looked fun. During the intro, the host gave us a very short backstory, and said that he "couldn't talk, cause I just drank some water." Unfortunately, one of the items wasn't working in the room as it should, so we were given the answer (no biggie). The host states "I'm not sure how to fix this, but this is what you should do for the answer." We continued the game, and asked for a hint later, but received hints beyond where we were, and were told "oh, that was the wrong hint, I was supposed to give you that later on." After that, along with the very interesting intro, we decided to leave in the midst of the game, and forfeited the money we spent. We've done several rooms throughout Raleigh, Durham, & even at the OBX! This really bummed us out, and unfortunately we likely won't return here.
