Honestly this experience was really really poor today. There was a staff member who didn’t show up and we started 30 minutes late but that was remedied with a discounted rate, however the rooms were in very poor condition. They were dirty and run down, the locks wouldn’t work without aggressive force that we didn’t do but had the escape room do. To his credit he did his best to provide a good experience and he did an amazing job at helping us out. We were just dissatisfied with the poorly operating escape room. Things were mostly broken and didn’t work. It wasn’t super kid friendly either. We did the Candyland room with family visiting from out of town and two kids- we left disappointed after driving and waiting for it to open to play. I would highly recommend checking out Game On Escape Room in Cary instead. It’s so much nicer! -
We came to Mission X this afternoon and were disappointed. First off, it was FREEZING cold inside the building(and I’m cold natured). The rooms were quite dirty and several tripping hazards. In the Hurricane room the flooring has detached in one room causing a major tripping hazard, the props were not clean looking and felt dirty. Although, the people we went with made it fun and the staff lady was helpful. Also, the bathroom definitely needed major cleaning! -
I have been to Mission X twice now, and both times have been disappointing. The two rooms I have done have both needed cleaning and have clear wear and tear along with dirt and "stuff" on the floors that just makes it all look cheap and uninviting. Our games master both times, a guy with glasses, seems to take no delight in having to help people or work with people. We lost ten minutes on the most recent room because of the equipment in the Candy land room not working properly. We lost time again in another room due to equipment not being on for the game for us to use it. The front lobby and desk also need a thorough cleaning and straightening up. It just looks sloppy.
I do not have any interest in going back to try the other rooms at this point. Both rooms have no sense of direction or purpose. Every puzzle feels like a series of disconnected events with no clear through line or connective tissue. Our host seemed annoyed whenever we asked for a hint, and we only asked for hints really because we couldn't understand why nothing was working when we had clearly solved it and it turned out to be equipment failure. Spend your money elsewhere -
Our family did 2 escape rooms this weekend for my sons 18th birthday. We need vampire manor and hurricane , we didnt win either one but came so close at both. The puzzles were challenging but we had a great time. Definite recommend and the price was wonderful! -
What a great time and very helpful and friendly staff! A bit of difficulty with some locks which cost us some time but we are gentle folk ;-)
Definitely would recommend!
