The best 12 escape rooms in Raleigh
"We liked this room, and came back a year later for a different room that we didn’t love (Tobacco something). But I would try another room at this place. The Tobacco one relied on too much local information - Duke sports - that we had no knowledge of."

"Super adorable! Good mix of gen 1 and gen 2 puzzles. Amazing game master, Gavin. Beautiful decor. Lots of puzzles so definitely more for enthusiasts and fast paced groups. Everything made sense! Lots of memorable puzzles to make this room stand out."

"We loved this room. Great environment. There were a lot of unique clues that I haven’t seen in other rooms. This room took more cooperation than most rooms I have done so I would suggest having at least a team of 3."

How Do Escape Rooms Work?
Remember those point-and-click adventure games where you’re locked in a room and have to solve puzzles to find the key and escape? Those online games were the original inspiration for the live escape rooms you’ll find all across the world today. An escape room is an immersive experience where you (and your team of 2 or more people) are locked in a room with a series of puzzles for 60 minutes. To escape and win the game, you have to look for clues, solve the puzzles, and find the key. While most escape rooms only give you 60 minutes to complete the challenge, others may have shorter or longer time limits. Many venues are private rooms where you and your team are the only players. However, some places may pair you with other groups who booked a slot at the same time. And don’t worry about getting stuck, asking for hints on a difficult puzzle is totally normal. While the original escape room (created by SCRAP in 2007) had a fairly simple aesthetic, today’s escape games often take you into a different world. Artistic set designs, secret doors, and unique interactive elements are all part of the fun. It’s like an adventure game that you can interact with in real life. But if you’re hoping to preview any rooms before you book a game somewhere, detailed images and videos can be hard to find. To keep the puzzles a secret and preserve the experience of seeing the room for the first time, most venues only offer a few photos or a short trailer about the room’s theme or narrative. The only way to know what it’s like is to go and try it for yourself!
