    The time we had left after Escaping.
    Kayla F.

    I wanted set up a couples date night out, so I went to the web and searched my area for the an awesome Escape Room. This was so fun! The staff was wonderful. We will definitely be back. The Heist Room

    Tricia T.

    First time doing an escape room and I had a blast. The location is on Glenwood near Hillsborough St and only has street parking, so plan accordingly. The staff members were very friendly and explained everything well. The price was on par with other escape rooms (per my party's comments), but it did feel slightly small in the room for 7 people at times. The staff cleaned very well and made sure to stress the importance of keeping masks on and hands clean. I had fun and would recommend!

    We won The Experiment!

    Have been here twice so far with my boyfriend. We did the Sherlock room first with puzzle master Faye and didn't escape; then we tried The Experiment with puzzle master John and managed to escape with a couple minutes to spare. Both rooms are well designed with challenging puzzles, and we had to ask for a hint a few times in both. There were a few downsides: -Room 2580 is located in an older building that used to be a house, and the rooms are thin and floors squeaky. The thin walls mean that you can hear people in the other rooms, and that combined with squeaky floors can make it hard to hear the hints. -To ask for a hint, you have to look at the camera, request the hint, and wave until you get the puzzle master's attention. This is okay when there's more than one puzzle master working, or only one or two rooms with groups in them; however, when there's only one master and multiple groups, it can take several seconds to get the puzzle master's attention, and every second counts. It would be helpful if the business always had at least two puzzle masters working at once. Overall it was a great experience and we plan to come back for more!

    Room 5280 is the way to go! For my second escape room experience, I can say confidently that it's the best . It's located in a house right on Glenwood Avenue in Raleigh, a block away from Cornerstone. My friend celebrated her birthday here, and as a group of 6, we had a blast. We chose the Money Heist room. The host explains that you and your comrades are to rob this rich millionaire's home with a time limit of 60 minutes. You must unlock combinations and solve riddles/puzzles throughout the room to collect 4 gold bars and unlock the room. The success rate is 30%, and we ESCAPED! With only 11 minutes to spare, we were congratulated by hosts and were encouraged to celebrate and take group pictures. An awesome staff and quality experience!

    We escaped!

    See all

    The game master Andrew was dealing with two rooms at the time so I could understand the delay, but like everyone knows, every second counts.

One of my friends chose to paint a bear instead, and it turned out super cute. Now I want to go back just to make a bear too! I also love that Spin Art keeps your artwork until it dries so you can pick it up later. Just a heads up: we completely missed the tripod sitting in the corner of the splatter room. So if you go, look for the tripod so you can capture all your memories! Such a fun experience...highly recommend!

When we got there, we were greeted and got set up immediately. We were given protective pants that covered your shoes and a protective top that had a hood. There was also glasses, gloves, and hair ties available, so if you're afraid of getting dirty, DONT BE! The spinning itself is very simple and to the point! Mix your colors, place them on the canvas, and spin! The hardest thing is coming up with a cool design, but we were able to get it right with our second canvas. At the end, we had the option of taking our wet canvas to go in a pizza box, using their dryer for an extra charge or leaving it until we were ready to pick up. This was really fun, and I would definitely do it again!

We…read moreare all in our 30s and above, and an active group, so this was the perfect activity for all skill levels. I appreciate the booking process because it shows you how many spots are left, so that we could monitor the website and decide whether or not we need to purchase soon. We were waiting out the rain chance and did not want to book if it was going to get rained out, but knowing that there were several options for availability allowed us to flexibility to walk in. I like that you are provided with new gloves to use and keep. Places in the past have lettuce used old ones that we returned. I think it would be nice to have that option available to customers. Also, ideally the finger parts of the gloves would be a little bit longer because I did get some cuts on my fingers where they stopped. You have to sit through a training which is about 15 to 20 minutes long which feels long but is probably very necessary based on what you need to know to handle the equipment on your own. The staff members were all very kind as well so it was helpful to have them talk through. Difficulty rangers from kids level all the way up to double black diamond, which even our most active people did not attempt. If you're planning on doing either of the black courses, I would definitely recommend just doing one warm-up course so that you don't tire yourself out. We started on the greens, and then did a blue, and then barely made it through the first black. We did have someone who started a black and then realized she could not handle it. It would be great if part of the training could include an exit strategy in case that were to happen. In this case, the person had only made it through one obstacle and had to make it back, which was already difficult enough for her, but thankfully it was only one. I'm curious what would have happened if she made it further through the course and could not finish. Overall this was a really great activity for any age level, any skill level, and for any group or individual. I would definitely come back and am eager to try the double black diamonds next time!

The site itself is quite nice and very large. Apparently renovations were done recently so it has an updated feel to it. When you walk in you sign up to race at the counter area, and you also take your picture and pick a racing name. The majority of our group was guys, with the exception of three ladies. Us ladies didn't race and instead ended up getting drinks from the bar, playing a few of the arcade games, and cheering on our guy friends who raced. The bar area has a pretty good selection of drinks and food, and for it being an "amusement" type center, I'd say the quality was pretty decent! There were a solid amount of things you could do besides the racing. They had axe throwing, a rock climbing wall, arcade games, and an interactive game arena. The racing did look fun and our friends had a good time doing it. Those karts go up to around 40mph so they're no joke. I do feel like they do a good job with their safety measures. They give you solid racing helmets, and if you spin out they'll make sure to help safely get you straightened back out. They'll also enforce some set track rules to make sure you're racing safely. My two friends and I watched our other friends race from a large viewing platform near the top of the track. The only negative thing I'd say about our experience is that it's loud (I'm sensitive to high pitched squealing sounds, so I shoved some bits of napkin in my ears and that helped lol), heavily smells of gas (they do have ventilation in place but it's still very noticeable), and it's also pretty hot in there. The area with the arcade, bar, and other entertainment is separate from the racing track, which is good because you can get some relief in between races in there. Overall, it was a fun experience! We all had a good time and would go back again. This time I'd bring ear plugs lol.
