Latest reviews of escape rooms in Raleigh

This is the best escape room that I've ever played. It is challenging but so cool and immersive, and every time you solve something, you feel super smart! 10/10!!! I would definetely reccomend!

Ben BragdonJune 24, 2026

This room had a fun theme and some clever clues but im not exaggerating when I say that 20% of everything in the room was a red herring. There were also stuff almost impossible to know the answer to, without a clue, like a password that's backwards. It was also clear this place was lower budget and less fancy than other escape rooms Ive been to. Overall, id say it was a good experience, but id recommend trying an escape room place that doesnt use red herrings.

BenFebruary 16, 2026

The Mysterious Room was a great one. This one started off kind of cool but once you get going it ramps up. I love how this one proceeded. We had 6 of us. My second escape room and we finished in 36.5 minutes. Will be going back again and again!

Jim PonderDecember 4, 2025

We had such an amazing time! We competed the superhero room and the Sherlock Holmes room - both of which were very well set up and entertaining!! Thanks!
