This place was very fun, friendly, amazing, and welcoming. We had a team building event here and they were great. Emily #1 and Emily #2 were both not only professional but sweet, communicated well, and most importantly made us feel welcomed.

EJ thank you for hosting our small group from the Wiz National Tour! We had a blast with you today and with little crazy Claire! If yall don’t get to this escape room you’re missing out! From walking in to walking out we had such a blast!!! Next time we come back to town I’m definitely coming back!!!!

Josie Ann was a great game master! Friendly, helpful with the hints but let us also work our brains, the room was creatively designed… enjoyed it with my friend group!

Was really fun, exciting, and a little bit scary (I get scared easily though). We did The Attic and it was a chilling experience with good puzzles! It was a little expensive, a little under $100 for two people, but I understand with rising costs and changes happening today. Not much can be done there :/ Wonderful staff, our GM was Cordelia. She was very welcoming and kind and an absolute gem ✨️

The room was fun and the staff incredibly friendly and helpful. However, the price is everything but fun and friendly for your wallet. This is more of a general criticism for all escape rooms, but the maintenance and operations costs ain’t that high to demand close to $35 per person. Make Escape Rooms Affordable Again

Great time with the family in the Alien Abduction escape room! Fun puzzles that were challenging, yet solvable for a bunch of escape room nuts like us! We are looking forward to doing more rooms with them in the future! Update 6-29-25: Just completed our second room, The Attic, and it was great too! Just booked the third one to complete the trifecta! Thanks Josienne!

Our game master Cordelia was AH-mazing! We escaped both Kidnapped and Alien Escape under her watchful eye. Awesome time! We'll absolutely be back when they have new rooms.

EJ was a fantastic host! She provided excellent details about each room, making sure we were fully prepared. We had a corporate event with 13 people split into two groups: one in the “Kidnapped!” room and the other in the “Alien Escape” room. My team completed our room in 35 minutes and 13 seconds. Overall, it was an engaging and well-organized experience!

We had so much fun doing the Attic! Josienne was super helpful in getting us set up and taking a post win picture! We're excited for our next one!

Alien Escape was great! It reminded me of Star Trek and the puzzles were very sci-fi. I loved the teamwork and thought this was a fun escape room experience. Our host, Cordelia, was awesome and Emily was doing a great job training her :)

I’ve been here a couple times, and most recently completed Kidnapped. The puzzles are well thought-out and challenging. Had a lot of fun. Kyla, our Game Master, was helpful and patient. She made the experience great. Will return for the Attic game next!

Did the attic with my wife and had a great time. The puzzles were hard but not too much of a leap. Mechanics were new and interesting. Theme was also immersive. Appreciated the pace and flow of the puzzles.

My group and I had an amazing experience! It was my first time trying an escape room. We attempted the "Kidnapped" room and was able to escape with minutes to spare. Our host Alex explained the concept and provided helpful hints when we got stuck. His hints were perfect, helping us think outside the box. NC Escape Room was a lot of fun, clean facility and creative escape room. Highly recommend.

We booked a room for our 10 year olds birthday, along with 8 other friends. They had a BLAST and the staff were so awesome to work with. We will absolutely be using NC Escape for other events and coming back on our own!

We had another great experience at NC Escape. Did the Kidnapped room this time and finished with 14 minutes to spare thanks to the guidance of our wonderful wizard behind the curtain, Josienne!

I went for my birthday and it was spectacular! I have done a couple of rooms before and this place had a great mix of puzzles, hidden items, and decoding. I highly recommend the time travel room.

My husband and I attended NC Escape on yesterday and it was a wonderful experience! We really did have a great time! We chose ‘The Attic’ and I’d say that it was a bit challenging getting started but once you get going, you’ll get it! ALEX was a great host and was awesome when it came to helping out when needed! I would recommend checking them out…& oh yes, we did ESCAPE! 😁

My partner and I had a FANTASTIC time completing the Attic. It was his first escape room and I’ve done a few - it worked really well for that combo. Super fun and well organized! Or facilitator Alex was excellent!

Had a great time here with friends while we were on a trip out of town! Our game master Venti was excellent, and the clues/puzzles were creative and engaging. Would definitely return here in the future!

We had a really great time!! We initially scheduled for a Saturday night but we ended up not being able to make the reservation. We called and they were able to reschedule to the next day . That was really convenient and they were really nice about it . The next day when we came in, we were running about 10 minutes behind and they still let us in. We called and spoke to David. He was really sweet and then our host was Alex and he was cool too. We would really do it again. Also this was our first time ever to an escape room so thanks to NC escape
