    Great time with the family. We went with our children ages 8-14. Room was challenging enough so we all had a great time.

    This is the first escape room we have done, so I don't have a lot to compare to.

    Fun, entertaining, and highly recommended!…read more They have a bunch of interesting looking options and we decided to go with the 7 Deadly Sins room. It was very well done, and much more challenging than we were anticipating. We had a good time and thought the staff was great as well. Looking forward to coming back to try another room.

    Escapology Escape Rooms Charlotte has some strong points. The room themes are well-designed,…read moreimmersive, and visually interesting. Unfortunately, the overall experience fell short compared to many other escape rooms we have played. My group has completed every escape room in Charlotte, along with numerous rooms in other states and several overseas, so we have a broad basis for comparison. One of the biggest issues was the size of the rooms. They felt cramped and crowded, and while the advertised capacity may be higher, the rooms seem best suited for two to four players at most. The puzzles were also frustrating at times. Many of the clues felt overly convoluted, and the room lacked a clear sense of progression. Rather than flowing naturally from one puzzle to the next, the challenges often felt disconnected and lacked cohesion. The game management also impacted our experience. We were told that the game masters were monitoring multiple rooms simultaneously, which appeared to contribute to delays. At one point, we successfully completed a piano-based puzzle multiple times, but nothing happened. After repeating it several times, a game master finally noticed and advanced the puzzle. Situations like this can be particularly frustrating when time is limited. Overall, Escapology Charlotte offers attractive themes and creative room designs, but the small room sizes, inconsistent puzzle flow, and game-master oversight issues detracted from the experience. With some refinements, it could be a much stronger escape room destination.

    Fun escape room located in the mall. We booked the room in advance on their website. It is pricier…read morethan other escape rooms in the area and is more expensive per person if you have only 3 people. That being said, the theatrics, room size, props, and attentive staff make the price worth it. The employee running our room was incredible. They kept up with everything and provided assistance as needed. While in Charlotte, we chose to do the Wild West room. Some of the items in the room were previously broken, but at least the employee running the game was aware and warned us ahead of time. This removed some of the excitement involved with solving a clue but did not prevent us from enjoying the room. I also did not like how our group was separated in the beginning. Seemed pointless to set up the story in this way. The people separated in the beginning are at a disadvantage since they are not able to do anything for about 5-10 min and don't know all the items that were found before joining up with the group. If there was something to do in that separate area then it would make more sense. Additionally, there isn't a great place to set things. There are many props (which I like) but we didn't know where to place them when finished with them since they would block other clues. In other escape rooms, the moderator/host have informed us of a table or chair not part of the game where we can set personal items or used items. That being said, this escape room is a step up in theatrics from other rooms. The story was good and the clues were tricky without being impossible. Plus it's easy to reserve a room online, we started on time, and the mall bathrooms are close by. Overall we recommend this escape room to others!

    SU-PER-COOL! I did an escape room here with my daughter and it was so much fun, but it gets…read morestressful at the end. The rooms are well maintained and the staff does a great job organizing and guiding your through the process. I would definitely recommend Break Out games for anyone looking to have a fun time with a side of mental challenge.
