If you love escape rooms, Nocturne Adventures is a MUST!!! Our group of 6 did the R-rated Ripper Room and it was by far the best escape room experience we have ever had....and we are fairly experienced. The owners, Nicole and Tom, put a lot of effort into making sure your experience is fantastic. The attention to detail and level of the game is outstanding! We are definitely coming back to experience their other room and would recommend this for any group! We had an amazing time!

Wait, wait, wait. This is one of those "Escape the Serial Killer's Lair" games & you recommended it as a must-do?? That's right. I've lost count as to how many games I've done with this theme. Some have sucked, some were good and THIS IS THE BEST ONE I'VE EVER DONE. It's a perfect blend of escape game and experience. The puzzles were great with a nice linear flow with even the traditional serial killer themed ones coming off as fresh. The live actors stole the show removing any type of clue system that would take you out of the immersion. Some random things to note: 1. Make sure you ask them about the tally marks on the front of the door before you start the game. 2. Like their other game, there’s no time limit. They just want you to enjoy every moment. Don’t worry, I can assure you that the lack of a timer did not take away in the slightest from the sense of urgency in trying to escape. Just trust me. 3. This is a scary ass game! As I mentioned in the details, you can choose the rated R version versus the slightly tamer version, but I think this has to do more with cursing and a naked picture. I don’t think it has anything to do with the fear factor. 4. There’s an extra moment or two that I will not spoil that’s just a little something that makes this even more terrifying, and all in all, and even more wonderful experience. 5. This is a business that is actually in the basement of someone’s home. Don’t let that deter you in the least. The game is smooth and as professional and operation as you could want. If you love escape rooms (and don’t mind being scared), you’ll love this game. If you love horror experiences, you’ll definitely love this game. Like their other game, this is worth making the trek to Hickory. Take the time and do both. You’ll be glad you did.

I would 100% recommend this escape room to others. It was scary, had a story that the room was committed to. The puzzles were fun and purposeful. I had so much fun!

Excellent escape room! Tricky puzzles and the horror factor was great! Recommend 10/10. 🫶

Wow! This experience was insane in the best way! The story, scares, and puzzles were perfection. I was immediately immersed and felt like I was in a different world. The actors were amazing and helpful, adding to the experience in multiple ways! The unexpected twists and turns of the game were so fun!! Thank you, Nocturne, for the best scary game I’ve ever played!!

Awesome room for horror and true crime fans! The experience is catered to the group’s preference (PG-13 or R rating) which is considerate and innovative. Details are accurate to the real Jack the Ripper case. Fair warning for blood and gore, and don’t be afraid to get your hands dirty!

Over the top positive experience. Staff was great and you can tell they love what they do and it shows in the room. Live actor, fun theme and puzzles, good decorations, overall amazing experience!

This was our first rated R escape room and it did not disappoint. The props were very gory and fit the theme perfectly- it really made you feel immersed into the story of the “ripper”. The puzzles were somewhat challenging yet cohesive and fun to solve. The live actors really made the experience for us! Highly highly recommend!!

This was room 53 for me. We’ve done scary rooms and this was my favorite. I love rooms that have live actors to start with. And this one would simply not be the same without it. The owners are super attentive and clearly take pride in making this a great experience. Both of their rooms are very immersive but this one is really intense. The puzzles are not super complicated and there is a good flow, but with the intensity of the room it works so well. We did the R super scary and we aren’t particularly scared fans but I can’t imagine doing the not scary version. Definitely worth diving in with both feet for the experience. I would suggest doing nevermore first if you do both. If you only do one room you can’t go wrong either way but you’ll be back for the second one

The game was extremely intense 💀 it got scared but also thrilled! Definitely will come back again!! ❤️❤️🙏🏻 RECOMMENDED FOR ANYONE! ❤️🫶💀
