There escape rooms and there haunts then their Ripper. If anyone is question whether you should do this the answer is yes even if you don't do haunts or scary. I don't do haunts and still had a good time.
Thank you! We're glad you had a super spooky fun time playing Ripper!

I can't say enough about this room. We did the super scary version. The fact that there's different levels of intensity in the room is a really cool option. This room was an original experience. I have never done one like it before. There is so much thought behind every detail and some amazing surprises and twists. We had first timers and experienced players in our group and everyone had a blast! You know it's good when you're still talking about it days later. I went on back to back weekends because I couldn't wait to do both rooms and to get everyone in on the experience. I can't believe how criminally underrated this place is. I am shouting it from the roof tops: Check This Place Out Now!

We did the super scary version and it was such a thrill! They also provide less scary versions for those who don’t want to s*** their pants. 😅

After completing hundreds of escape rooms in the Carolinas, I can confidently say Nocturne Adventures’ Ripper is in a league of its own! Whether you’re new to escape rooms or a seasoned veteran, I couldn’t recommend Nocturne Adventures more. The entire experience from start to finish was amazing and the perfect way to celebrate a birthday in our group! Nocturne Adventures perfectly blends horror elements and puzzles into the escape room to create an experience like no other! If you have been seeking the scary experience you haven’t been able to find yet, I would highly recommend Ripper’s Super Scary version! You will not find anything like it! For those skeptical that Nocturne Adventures is based in a home, let me assure you that there is no need for concern. The owners and staff were very friendly and hospitable and made our group feel more comfortable than we have even in escape rooms in shopping centers/malls. Nocturne Adventures has set the bar extremely high for future escape rooms. I can’t wait to come back!

DO NOT LET THE ADDRESS FOOL YOU!! Within a simple residential home is one of the scariest escape rooms I've done so far. (One of our team members almost hyperventilated to the point of passing out due to fear.) The Nocturne team has more than a decade of experience in the haunt field and IT SHOWS. (One of the owners use to be a mortician which has helped to create accurate scenes if you catch my drift.) If you are an avid escape room goer play on Super Scary and DON'T LOOK BACK!!
Hands down the best puzzle is the map puzzle. IYKYK ;)
SO SCARY, but also pretty dark. If you play Super Scary be prepared to be in the dark a lot.
By the end of the night the Nocturne team felt like fellow escape room enthusiast friends verses the traditional owner to escapee relationship. They were so kind, and we talked for what seemed like forever about escape rooms in general. I wished we could have had more time to talk!
No
I've definitely seen versions of these puzzles in other rooms but they do not in any way detract from the story or experience.
Hard
I normally tote myself as a decent escape room enthusiast, but fear changes how you think and act. Puzzles that normally would have taken you a few seconds as your hands are shaking with anxiety.
Mechanical
It's such a shock but EVERYTHING IS MECHIANCIAL. There are no obvious screens or computers and everything is on manual release by the owners/GM. It's such a fluid experience you forget nothing is automated.
4
If you want the most intimate experience I would go with 4-5. You can do a larger group ... but that's just you wanting to bring more lambs to the slaughter.
💩👖
If you don't want to play along then it's just like any scary movie or haunt: just an experience your observing. Take my advice - let yourself fall into the moment and get spooked. It's worth it!

Unless you do the PG-13 version or lower don't bring your kids. They're gonna run from the room.
No
Yes
The Ripper comes for all.
Somewhat
There is a portion where a lot of physical movement is required. If you don't want that pick Scary instead of Super Scary.
Just depends on how scary you choose the game to be. I think if you choose Scary or lower someone in a wheelchair may be able to get through the rooms.
Yes
This is really a maybe instead of a yes. Again it's located in a residential home so don't get weirded out when you arrive at the address. Go down the driveway and follow the small path to the door with their logo. Once inside it looks like any other escape room.
Easy
You park in their driveway, or if you have a lot of cars you can park on the side of the road.
Thank you so much! We're glad you had super spooky fun playing Ripper!

The ambience, the feel, the story, you want a scary escape room, they’ll give you scary! I haven’t felt this scared in a scary room in a while! For Ripper you get to choose what level of scary you get. IMO if you want the full experience, go for very scary. It’s intense. You’ll be on edge the whole time. I loved it! Nocturne has a great balance of story and puzzles. The puzzles have more of the original escape room type puzzles, but they fit the theme and are so fun! If you’re an enthusiast, you got to have this on your list of to do.

The level of creativity and talent that was put into this game was unbelievable! All of the decor and game pieces were thoughtfully placed with just the right balance needed to feel well immersed without being overwhelmed or cluttered. The puzzle craft was top notch and the flow of the game was super smooth. And if you get stuck, they have a crafty integrated hint system so you're not left working on one puzzle for 20 minutes. They definitely want their gamers to feel entertained and not frustrated. Their escape room was different in that you weren't held against a time constraint; this means you could put all your focus on the puzzle and not have to jump out to go look at a timer. As well, there was ample ambiance to get you absorbed into their exciting story which intensified as it carried on. This added to the excitement since we felt like it was now a race against our impending doom! Music and lighting changes, live actor, a gritty story; it was incredibly intense and so worth it! They nailed it!
Incredibly smooth flow, no red herrings and everything made sense. Excellent room for newbie and enthusiasts alike!
It felt like a movie set!
This family owned company really cares about their customers. They were so friendly and accommodating.
Yes
It felt like the perfect mix between an escape room and haunted house.
The theatrics involved with the live actor made this game memorable!
Medium
The puzzles could be solved with just observing/searching the rooms. You don't need outside knowledge and they don't make you do math puzzles or homework (or Sudoku for that matter!)
Mechanical
With how raw and visceral this theme is, the simple locks work perfectly for the game.

Yes
Not at all
As long as you can bend down to look at a shelf with a lock on it, you're good. There are no mandatory crawlspaces or anything.
Yes
Don't let the fact that this is within a residence deter you - they professionally finished their basement just for the business (their living area and game are are on separate levels.) In fact, their lobby is more legit than many commercial places I've been to. They even have a merch wall of cool stuff and stickers for sale!
Easy
Just pull down their driveway and the business entrance is around back.
Thank you so much! We're glad you had super spooky fun playing Ripper!
