Fun, well organized escape room! Our game master David was really enthusiastic and explained the rules and backstory well. I’ve done multiple escape rooms here and they still surprise me. We had a larger group and everyone was able to contribute and had fun

The Lunar Escape Room at Bull City was a really fun experience! The theme was creative and well-executed, and the puzzles were challenging but kept the game flowing smoothly. It’s a great choice for both newer players and those with more experience, since it strikes a nice balance of difficulty without ever feeling overwhelming. The only downside was our game master, who didn’t seem very enthusiastic, which took away a bit from the otherwise fantastic experience. Overall, still a well-designed and enjoyable room that we’d recommend for a unique escape adventure in Durham.

I have been to Bull City Escape 4 times and enjoyed it every time! I have only been to one other escape room business and it was not nearly the quality of this one so we will keep going back until we do them all at both locations. Z took care of us wonderfully on our last visit but have always had great experiences with our gamemasters. Thanks for a fun night out with friends!

Great & creative escape rooms. Whoever designed the rooms put a lot of thought and creativity into the design. Our group did the room "A Study in Murder." It was challenging and kept us busy the whole time. Our game master Ezekiel (please forgive me if I misspelled his name) was very kind, cheerful, and helpful. He made our experience so pleasant and memorable. We would recommend this Escape Room to other groups.😊

We had a generally good experience, but we walked away unhappy because of a few specific aspects. We didn’t have a bad enough experience to say we’ll never be back, but we also didn’t leave with any real desire to come back anytime soon. The rest of this review contains extremely minor spoilers for Lunar Escape.
Here are some of the things that happened during our game that contributed to the negative experience:
- We were discouraged from exploring. For example, we found a key, so we put the key in a lock and tried to turn the key. Our game master interrupted over the walkie talkie to tell us it was the wrong key for the lock, and that we shouldn’t try to force it.
- The worst and most frustrating thing happened when we found a cabinet. On the cabinet door was a sign saying something like “do not pull open”. At this point, we’d already been given three warnings (one before the game started and another two during) about not touching things or being gentle with things. So, we left the cabinet alone and chased our tails for another ten minutes before we finally asked for a hint. Turns out we were supposed to pull open the other door of the same cabinet.
- There was a whiteboard attached to the wall. Every puzzle where we needed or wanted to write something down was far enough away from the whiteboard that we had to yell back and forth across the room to solve simple math problems or relay other information. We would have appreciated a portable whiteboard or a slate or something.
