The Experiment

I have been to many escape rooms. And this has been the worst. One of the employees was annoying, and talked too fast. The first puzzle we were stuck on for over 20 minutes because the their equipment was not working. After asking for a hint we still cannot figure out because the equipment was not working as more time passed. Hard to explain why it was so bad, but there was nothing great about it. The room was bland, the puzzles lame, and two of the puzzles did not work.

This was my first escape room experience, so I don't know how Room 5280 compares to the area's other escape rooms, but I had a lot of fun. I went with a few of my co-workers as a team building event and did "The Experiment" room. It was challenging but not enough to make the experiencing too frustrating. We had 7 people in the group and there were times where some of us did not have anything to do because we were stuck on one particular locks, but in general we had to collaborate on most of the locks. You had to go through a lot of different mediums and equipment, which made the experience stimulating. Definitely something I'd like to try again.

A group of 6 of us wanted to do something fun and Room 5280 was the only escape room open on Monday nights so we went there. We are glad we did, the owner was super friendly and the room, "Experiment" was a total blast. Sometimes in other escape rooms it feels like it's a stretch to figure out the clues or puzzles, but not here. The puzzles were fun and challenging. Long story short we a had a very good time and all 6 of us would easily recommend room 5280 in Raleigh, to anyone.

First time escape room victim. Great experience. We had so much fun. I can't wait to go back and try the other rooms. We did The Experiment and laughed at ourselves a lot. One piece of advice...don't overthink it.
