“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.”

“One of my top ten rooms! Spooky setting with a couple jump scares. My favorite aspect of the room was being transported into one of the previous puzzles for the finale. We stopped here to kill some time before an event in town, but I like absolutely come back. Good mix of manual locks and high-tech puzzles!”

“This room blew my mind. I’m on a business trip and they were awesome enough to let me do this solo. Annabelle was the best game master I’ve ever had. Everything about this room was incredible. Some really cool spins on how puzzles are done. Please go out of your way to do this room.”

“Completely unique spin. Puzzles were challenging and creative. It’s not the right room if you’re a beginner but what a great change of style for experienced players. Don’t overlook this room - it’s a great time.”

“Wow what a room! This room definitely needs at least two people to do. I’m on a work trip and did this room solo. By far one of the hardest rooms I’ve ever done. Started to panic towards the end, but got it done. Thought the room flowed super well from beginning to end.”

“I absolutely love this business and the people that work here. They are always so accommodating because I play solo on work trips. This room was an absolute blast. Definitely on the harder side when you are solo. Love the theme.”

“This room was pretty cool. There was plenty of solving to be shared between our group of 4. A few surprises! Staff were enjoyable and play into the escape room experience 100%. Room may need a refresh here and there, but the puzzles and flow are spot on.”

“Whole Brain Escapes is a different style of escape room. They are fun and logical. Riddles abound. There is lots of reasoning involved and you have to read stuff! But they are good linear style rooms and the puzzles make sense with no crazy logical leaps or red herrings. We enjoyed this room and completed it with no hints!”

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!
