Description:

You've booked the trip of a lifetime; a cross-continental journey on The Breakout Express. As the train winds through beautiful countryside, news spreads of an uproar in the locomotive car. Radicals have taken control of the conductor’s cabin, planted explosives, and the train is racing towards a non-stop destination in the heart of the city: Central Station. Gain entry to the conductor's cabin, stop the train and free the passengers before time runs out. Can you engineer a last-minute escape?

Ethan was an awesome game master! Had a great time in the runaway train room and we even escaped with a few minutes to spare! Love going to Breakout locations as the theming is always fantastic. Definitely coming back to try the other rooms here.

MaryJune 5, 2024

Best escape room I’ve been to!! The train one was super fun. I like that there aren’t any red herrings to throw you off but truly a puzzle to solve.

The most intense fun we’ve had in a long time! Couldn’t have done it without our game master, Cooper! Thanks, Cooper, for getting us off that train!

HannahSeptember 14, 2024

We have been to the Charlotte location a few times now and Cooper has been a wonderful game master for all three of our games. Super fun time! Love The runaway train and Mystery Mansion rooms especially.

MaxSeptember 26, 2024

Runaway Train was a blast. Cooper made our first experience with Breakout so enjoyable!

AdrienneMay 7, 2024

We had a great time! We did the Train room, the puzzles were diverse and clever, but not too difficult. 4 people solved in under 45mins ;D.

Our Host Daryl was friendly and professional, and was attentive to our game.

ElykSeptember 27, 2024

Katie and Maddie were awesome helpers! We did the Train Room and Mystery Mansion. We managed to escape the train room with three kids under the age of 6, so start there if you have kids. Haha! Thanks for the good times!

BrookeSeptember 6, 2024

Did the Runaway Train and it was an amazing experience. Daryl was our guide and he gave us a great explanation and set us up for success!

The puzzles were challenging and the room effects were top notch. Great story to go along with all of that.

MannyJune 8, 2024

Such a fun room! Loved the atmosphere of the Runaway Train!

KimJuly 17, 2024

Runaway Train was fun and Bonni our game master was great!!

ShelleySeptember 5, 2024

Happy, our guide, did a great job. Runaway Train was perfect for tweens!

SarahJuly 28, 2024

Happy was our host and she was fantastic! She communicated clearly and was patient with us as we were running a little late from dinner. Everyone had a great time and loved the room. We had a group of 4 and played the Runaway Train room. It was challenging but not overwhelming, and we made it out with only a couple hints! Definitely recommend for those who enjoy puzzles!

DanielleAugust 3, 2024

Bonni was super helpful with allowing us to play another room tonight! We started with Runaway Train, and absolutely adored it! Thank goodness we had a few math geniuses with us! We are playing Mystery Mansion next and hope to run into Bonni again! Shout out to Cooper for letting us play another room!

RachelAugust 22, 2024

This runaway train breakout room was so fun! Bella was absolutely amazing she provided such a great experience.

Tried the runaway train, and it was a blast. Group of four knocked it out! Barry is a great host. Highly recommend!

HarrisonJune 23, 2024

Runaway train was well themed and fun! Bonnie was a great game master

PrennyMay 31, 2024

Vivian and Bonnie were Amazing 👏🏽. Best GameMasters we've had and have done dozens of escape rooms. We broke out Runaway Train, Vivian said she could tell 2e were math people 😂

KaiiSeptember 21, 2024

Runaway Train was awesome and Barry was such a fun, energetic game master! We're planning our next escape already!

CrystalApril 20, 2024

Private rooms: you can reserve a room for you and one other person, and not pay extra to do so. You get a price break per person over two (or three?) people, but the concept here is built around individual parties. Clean. The 'unseen person that helps' was just the right amount of helpful: not too chatty, not letting us drown in confusion. Good times.

AnnMay 18, 2023

This is a truly unique experience doing the puzzles to break out of a room. We had a great time! There was 6 in our group and that seemed perfect...each person contributed and saw things differently.

KarrieMay 18, 2023

Had a wonderful time! Staff was friendly and helpful! Can’t wait to go back and try to escape from every room!

janetMay 18, 2023

We decided to do a girls' night out at Breakout. What a fun hour. We made it with only two minutes to spare, thanks to our Team Leader. I would highly recommend Breakout Games. A great break in routine and opportunity to engage with friends.

debraMay 18, 2023

One of the best 49 minutes ever. Loved doing this with the family and we Broke out! We will be back again. Thinking about taking my team at work too for a team building excercise

JenaMay 18, 2023

I had an amazing time with my team as we worked together to get the train to stop. I can't wait to go again!

CoastalSeptember 8, 2019

The Runaway Train Room was very challenging and extremely well decorated with great props and clever clues. This was the first escape room for my husband and I, but we played with our two 20 year old daughters who’ve done escape rooms past, which was a huge help. We all loved it. The very friendly and encouraging attendant was available to provide clues, however, so I think beginners could do this room. We chose Breakout Games because all the rooms are private without an extra charge. Highly recommend. We’ll be back to do other rooms at Breakout!

ExpeditionOctober 11, 2019

We chose Runaway Train and it was a challenging and exciting time! Assistance was available and offered when needed, but we were basically on our own and proud of our accomplishment of stopping the train! Highly recommended! Clean, complete and so much fun!

Paul LNovember 6, 2019

So much fun!! This was our first time doing an escape room - it was myself, my husband, and stepson (15yo). When we arrived we were greeted by our Game Master, Donni, whose positive energy was infectious! We completed the Runaway Train room with barely any time to spare. Donni helped us through clues when we were stuck and made the whole experience even that much better. Definitely recommend!!!

Christina M.February 22, 2020

A group of coworkers and myself completed the Runaway Train room as a team building event. It was amazing and so much fun. Once our entire group arrived at Breakout, we were greeted by our gamemaster and explained the rules (i.e. - if it's nailed to the wall...don't remove it). We were then led into our escape room..... The Runaway Train. This was my first escape room, so I wasn't sure what to expect. In this room you must find the key to unlock the conductor's area of the train in order to stop the train before it crashes. We needed a few clues along the way, but managed to escape the room with 3 minutes remaining. Without giving anything away, the secret compartments and effects in this room were great. I can't wait to try another room!
