Escape Room #4 in the bag! My friends and I have been doing escape rooms for years, and we're sad to have finally played every one that Game On: Cary has available. Rest Easy Motel was spooky, clever, a little twisted, and delightfully thematic. Our Game Master Cora was super enthusiastic and seemed to be having just as much fun as we did, and took very good care of us. I wish I could go back and play more! read more

Came here with my wife recently and completed one of the escape rooms! We had a really good time and would definitely come back. Parking was pretty easy since Game On is part of an outdoor shopping mall. Importantly, there are two levels to the mall, and Game On is located on the top level. We completed the Odin's Trial room in the allotted time, with a few hints from our gamemaster Spundun :) Everything in the room worked as expected, which is always appreciated. In general, escape rooms feel a little overpriced to me, but we did have fun, so I guess I can't complain! Overall, I'd recommend Game On. read more

Great place!! We had a group of 3 and did the MacGregor Manor escape room. It was a challenge and we didn't get through it. We should have asked for a few more nudges along the way. The staff were friendly and explained everything well. Definitely can't wait to go back and try again. Worth the price and a super fun experience! read more

Alex and Chris were amazing and funny hosts. They were fun and fair. Our group had a blast!

They had lots of adventures available. We walked in and sched a room pretty quickly even though it was Saturday evening. Kathryn was very friendly and eagerly helpful. Odin's Trial was very good with many different kinds of puzzles and clearly a lot of resources and effort in the props and room. read more

This was my first visit to this Escape Room and Morgan B did a fabulous job running the room! We played the Grinched Gingerbread Lockout room and we loved it! The group I played with plays an escape room together every year and we enjoy it so much! This one was a lot different from some of the other places we've been and we enjoyed playing so much we may do another one next week! Thank you for a lovely experience Morgan and team! read more

We had an incredible time at Game On Escape Rooms! Our group was a mix of adults and teenagers, which can sometimes be a challenge to keep everyone interested, but this experience was a total home run. Everyone was fully engaged from the second we walked in until the moment we solved the final mystery. The Room: Odin's Trial We did the Odin's Trial room, and the production value was top-notch. The puzzles were clever, thematic, and just the right level of "tricky" to keep us thinking without getting frustrated. The atmosphere really transports you into the Norse mythos. Our Game Master: Trevor O. A huge shout-out to Trevor O., who was easily one of the best game masters we've ever had. He was absolutely awesome at reading the room. He knew exactly when to hang back and let us struggle through a puzzle and exactly when to drop a perfectly timed clue to keep our momentum going. His guidance was helpful without giving too much away, which made the final "aha!" moments even more satisfying. Verdict Whether you're looking for a family outing, a team-building event, or just a fun night out with friends, I can't recommend Game On enough. If you go, definitely ask for Trevor--he made the experience truly special for our whole group! We will definitely be back to try their other rooms! read more

Disclaimer: Rest Easy Motel was my 43rd room. My friends and I came to Rest Easy Motel and had a blast. We were a group of 3 and have each played a lot of escape rooms. Overall, there were enough puzzles for everyone to work on and contribute to and we definitely needed to work together. The puzzles were all pretty clever and made sense. For the most part, the puzzles ran smoothly. I think the only part that I wish improved was one of the magnets on a prop kept coming off. The room had a spooky backstory, but the room itself actually wasn't scary at all (and this is coming from someone who easily gets paralyzed with fear in scary escape rooms. Parking is super easy and free because it's in a shopping center, though I'd recommend showing up early in case you need a while to find a parking spot. Even with all of our experience, we still managed to barely escape with 1:23 left! I would recommend and come back to Game On Escapes again if all the rooms are like this! read more

This was our first time at an escape room so we were not sure what to expect. Based on the times available, we happened to book the Motel room, which is evidently one of the hardest. It was three of us trying to crack the room and it turned out to be a lot of fun. So many clues to figure out! Trevor was our game master and he really helped us along the way, and made sure we finished it even when we were ready to give up. Based on this experience I'd definitely return to try another room. A great way to spend a rainy afternoon. read more

Naomi was our coach and she was amazing. We did a level 5 and somehow managed to escape 30 seconds before the hour was up. We were 6 players, all family and had a ball! Can't recommend it enough! read more

Sydney was great! Stepped in at the perfect moments, but let's figure out most of the puzzles ourselves. The Odin room was fantastic, the puzzle were creative and exciting, the room was interactive and tactile, I've been to loads of escape rooms and this one is great. Will come again! read more

PERFECTLY EXECUTED ESCAPE ROOM!!! There are many surprises around every corner! You have to work as a team in coordination to get out or else you will lose! There were many secrets and even extra opening to other areas that really helped make the experience feel even more immersive! We had a blast and are already wanting to know when we can come back and do another one! Maddie H. Was our game master and helped us soooo much and made our experience even more fun & enjoyable! 10/10 would recommend!!! read more

We had a great time. Ask for Naomi G. She did a terrific job. The Manor Escape was spooky and challenging.

We did Odin's Trial, two adults and five 9-11 year old boys. So much fun and we solved it with seconds to spare. Ben W was a perfect guide with nudges at just the right time. There were a couple malfunctions in the room to be addressed but otherwise great. read more

We loved the Rest Easy Motel! It was fun with a lot of different types of puzzles to solve & awesome theming. Malik was a great game master. Highly recommend! read more

I took the girls (7,9,10) here just as a fun surprise and they really loved it and wanted to go back immediately. Easy level was a good challenge for them for 1st timers and they still needed a few clues to get them through to the end in time. Good room effects and some decent scares for them. Highly recommend and will def go back soon for another one. Hanna was a great host, she made it a lot of fun for them. Thanks! read more

"Jungle Escape" - Our party has probably done 20 escape rooms. First time at this location. The escape room itself was pretty well done. The wear of some things was evident in you had to force them to work. The game master was well below average. We had some struggles and his clues would literally be things like "find the wooden items, there should be x pairs of them" or "use the map". All the while, we had already been holding the wooden items and trying to use them for a clue for 10 minutes. It was like he was reading off a script that was 2 steps behind where we were on the puzzle journey. The room gets a B, the clue guide gets an F. read more

It was a really fun experience! They were very accommodating and let us reserve the room with 3 and add on our other people on when we got there as we were unsure how many people we would have. Sarah was our person for our specific room and she was so helpful!! We were floundering and she gave us really helpful hints and some extra time to let us finish! We did the jungle one and it was a lot of fun. We will be going back for sure. read more

Naomi G. was excellent! She was so helpful and had such a warm and inviting energy. She also took a great team picture!!!!

The Manor escape room was amazing! Naomi G. was a great gamemaster and helped us get through without giving us the answers. Would love to come back! read more

Amazing escape rooms! We have tried several escape rooms in the past and decided to try Game On Escapes after seeing it in an ad. We wanted to do a more challenging room and upon checking out the times available online, we chose MacGregor Manor. There were 4 of us total and we made it out just in time. Kenzie was working our room. She was friendly, clear on the rules, and helpful. The room did not look like much at first but was packed with clues, codes, and puzzles. Prices are reasonable for escape rooms and they have had deals/coupons in the past. The website is easy to use and they are clear on the location. I do have two suggestions: 1. They are not easy to communicate with. I have tried calling them and messaging them via Facebook and have not received a response. 2. It would be helpful if the difficulty level of the rooms was listed with the description. It is listed on the website but not until you get to the booking page. Overall, we had a great time and would return here again to do another escape room! read more

See all

I'm still coming down from the adrenaline, but this was definitely the best escape room I've done. Very immersive and well thought out. Trevor O was terrifying in all the best ways. Helpful, friendly, and super scary. We completed the Macgregor Manor. Would recommend to anyone looking for a thrill. read more

Ethan was a great master! The jungle room was the perfect mix of challenges and fun. We will be back again.

Thank you Ethan and Malik! You guys made the experience memorable and sooooo much fun! read more

We have done several escape rooms and this place was the best yet! Our game master Alex was great! Definitely hope we get him again next time we come! read more

My family and I (wife and 3 daughters 15/12/12) have been to a handful of escape rooms in different places and this is by far the best. It was challenging but not overwhelming and Steven D did an awesome job as game master (we need a couple clues haha). Definitely going back and doing the other rooms! read more

Would recommend this place! Our room was challenging but doable, with hints of course. There were some clever puzzles!

We had a great time doing the Sorcerer's Mistake room with some visiting family today! The folks at Game On were awesome and set up a time a little earlier in the day for us to accommodate our schedule. Our game master Hannah was super sweet to the kids in the group (and patient ). Great experience! read more

This was a great experience. We did the Game Show Showdown for a friend's birthday and had a blast. The host, Saed, was fantastic, he kept everyone engaged and had a great sense of humor. We can't wait to go back. read more

We did the Rest Easy Motel escape room and had a great time. The reservation and checkin process was easy, they were ready for us and the needed pregame info was useful and efficiently-shared. As far as covid goes, everyone was masked in common areas but since our room was just our group of 4, we could take them off while escaping. Grady was a terrific game master - the clues were useful and he helped save us wasting time on a clue we had already solved. I can't wait to go back and try the MacGregor Mansion room! read more

Game On Escapes & More was awesome!!! We did the Game Show Showdown for our work Christmas Party and everyone had a blast! It was like Family Fued, Jeopardy and Minute to Win It. Saed and Carson were great! Their energy and interaction made it even more fun and love that they can pick up on your tone and personality and have fun with you making jokes. The process for booking was super easy and Saed even helped me get set up during a specific window I had available. They even had someone in training, Dillion, who did great! Wouldn't even had known he was in training had they not said so. They even give you the option of how clean things are (PG, PG-13, R...). I am actually going to set up another booking with a group of friends! Can't wait to come back! read more

So much fun. I thought that it was going to be simple at first and then became adventurous and we were racing the clock! 10/10 recommend. It had elements of that I have not seen in other escape rooms before! read more

The escape room was very dark with no ability to brighten it for people who can't see well. The clues were mostly on two pieces of paper. Escape rooms we have been to elsewhere have clues peppered throughout the rooms - in boxes, on the walls, etc. It wasn't as fun to walk around with the 2 papers. The writing & the stuck-on symbols on floor, sleeping bags, etc were very worn off. The ones on the sleeping bags were especially bad. Comparing this location to a company we have been to a few times in Apex, the one in Apex dedicated more time and money to decor, ambiance, interesting items, clues, etc. Also, when we let the staff know about the peeling symbols and that the last light that was meant to turn green didn't work, she shrugged and said "sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't." She was very nice but she really couldn't do anything about it, of course. The owners need to invest in the upkeep. So I felt bad for her since she seems to know that it isn't great quality. We might try one more room there but wouldn't recommend the "Jungle" room. read more

Very fun escape room with helpful, friendly staff and some great challenges! A little pricey but good location, parking and clean and comfortable. read more

Great way to spend an hour with the family. We were a little nervous doing a hard room but with a (few) hints we got er done. Luke was an awesome host read more

Our game master, Malik was exceptional. He was great to chat with before hand, and nudged us in the right direction when we were stumped. If you gat Malik as your fame master, you're in for a great time. read more

The MacGregor Manor room was awesome. Malik and Trevor made the experience awesome! Full of surprises for sure and is a good time.

We were a group of 4 and did the manor escape room. It was challenging and a lot of fun! Malik, our game master was super helpful and gave hints that allowed us to think when we got stuck! We will be coming back!!! read more

This was a lot of fun. Thank you Ethan for being our games master! We will be back in the future!
