The Sir Walter Hotel served as a focal point for North Carolina political activity during the 1930s. The state election of 1928 remains to be one of the most questionable elections that North Carolina has ever seen. With 60 minutes on the clock, your mission in the Hotel is to undermine the party’s convention and compromise the outcome of this election.

Some of the puzzles were unreliable and the story was fairly minimal and wasn't too immersive. It was still a decent experience.

Overall the location was so cool and loved the history element. But the game/room itself didn’t really have a great story or flow. This was challenging due to a lot of the effects not working correctly. Because the story was missing when stuff wasn’t working it just make everything more confusing. The customer service was really great and they helped reset some of the technical issues and ended up giving us 5 extra minutes and we appreciate that.

Needed to go to ONE escape room while I was out visiting Raleigh this weekend — Sir Walter’s Speakeasy was the one that piqued my interest the most. So I grabbed my motley crew and we tackled it. Fun room, fairly difficult puzzles, not much of a thorough flow by any means. Truthfully, when you enter, there is MUCH to be desired, and you sort of feel like there’s nothing happening. As you progress, you’ll find more and more little things appear, so not all is lost. The experienced escape room lover will definitely be perplexed and feel a sense of ease here. Definitely had fun.
Gameplay
Decent. Gives Gen 2 vibes.
Atmosphere
With all due respect, it was basic.
Customer service
Our GM was lovely. Very nice.

I only say “High Tech” because of a few things — but it’s on a more mechanical side, for sure. Only a couple tech style of things.

This room has so much potential. The stand out are the puzzles. Everything else from the flow, to the storyline needs some form of clarity and/or a overhaul to really make it top notch. The game master was nice and the customer service was great.

Unless you have done some escape room before, then this room can be challenging if not paying attention and reading carefully.

I overall enjoyed the room! There was some puzzles in the room that I felt were overly confusing and needed a lot of explanation in order to make sense! There were also some very unique puzzles in the room though!
Gameplay
Interesting puzzles I haven’t seen before.
Atmosphere
Not the most immersive room, but not the worst!
Customer service
VERY friendly staff!
Story
I loved how the history of Raleigh was incorporated into the room!

I hate to say I didn’t like this room at all, but unfortunately that was the case. There were some cool puzzles In there but the room had zero flow. There wasn’t any clue on what to actually do and when we did get an answer or code, no idea on where or how to put it in, even if there were instructions saying how to. Things were reused over and over which makes me feel this was thrown together sadly. I really hoped for more for such a cool building.

This was difficult in that there’s no direction to the room. I felt like nothing clued us in on what to do next. Zero flow whatsoever.

This is a fun theme with some very unique clues. I’m not sure if I fully followed the story line or understood how the clues connected but we still enjoyed ourselves.

Fun room. Overall good but maybe not great. Immersion and puzzles were average. I’d say worth doing if you’re already in the area but perhaps not worth going out of your way for.
