Description:

Ghastly escapes was one of the first scary escape rooms to open, and was very popular. Until they abruptly closed due to the tragic passing of the owner and manager inside the building. The venue sat empty for nearly a decade until recently Masterpiece Escapes was offered the lease. We took the space and have begun running the original games as is. However, perhaps some things should have stayed closed....

The bag man is a legend held by many cultures, and is where the term "boogey man" originates. Tales of a creature coming at night to take children who stay up past bedtime have been told around the globe. In eastern Europe, this creature was called the Bubak and took the form of a scarecrow, who was animated and put a sack over people's heads in order to take their soul. This was Ghastly Escapes first game.

I have done most of not all of the escape rooms in the Charlotte area and I can say without a doubt this is THE BEST around. I just did the new Ghastly Escapes and the story, the immersion, and the acting is phenomenal. What Masterpiece Escapes is doing with that type of escape room is the next big thing, bravo to the team!

My friends and I booked their Ghastly Escape Chapter 1 and we absolutely loved it!! The balance between puzzles and the monster chasing us in the room was great, it was never a dull moment nor was it too scary to handle. All in all, a great balance of tension and adrenaline. Our gamemaster was part of our group the entire time so it never broke the immersion if we got stumped having to shout out for help. We highly recommend you try Ghastly Escape! They were super respectful of some of us not wanting to be touched but it was still scary and funny seeing our friends get caught by the monster. We can't wait to see the next three chapters!

We have been going to this place for a while now and experienced many of their escape rooms. This place is amazing, professional and have awesome customer service. Their rooms are very interactive, immersive and realistic. Ghastly escapes is by far THE BEST one we have experienced thus far, intense and interactive - great actors separating you from your group at times so you have to get them out as well. Highly recommend this place!! (Very family friendly)

My husband and I have done tons of escape rooms, however this was our first time doing an immersive escape room. It was AWESOME!!! We did Ghastly Escapes Ch. 1. Our game masters Kayla and Truman were great! She did a wonderful job and was an essential part of our game. There was a line between puzzles and scary moments, but nothing unbearable. I would highly recommend masterpiece escapes to anyone!
