Awesome experience doing Cabin in the Woods. Interactive, a few jump scares added to the experience. Micah was an awesome game master! Can't wait to try another room! read more

Green Light Escape Room - Escape Games Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

We had a great time and it was worth every penny. We signed up last minute and did the "Kidnapped" room. It was challenging but we received some clues along the way. I highly recommend this spot. read more

I have been to Green Light once before but it was five years ago. When coming back home to Wilmington for this trip we went for my brother's birthday and it was everyone else's first escape room. We did Alien Escape and got out with five minutes to spare and we used five hints. Would definitely say this room is great for beginners! Our game master was Micah and he was absolutely phenomenal. He was super helpful and very personable. We are already talking about which room we will do next time. We currently live in Durham and found out they have a location there as well which is great to know! read more

Green Light Escape Room - Lobby Photo Area - Escape Games Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

We came for my husband's work holiday party. This was my second time doing an escape room but it was the first time I escaped. We did the Jurassic Park room which they said was an easier one. It was still a lot of fun and definitely challenging and creative. We did get hints on the ipad from Micah, he was helpful and gave hints perfectly. Our other group did the Beer Heist and escaped too. It was a fun activity that I'd try again! read more

See all

What fun! I hadn't done an escape room before, so as a gift I bought a room for my girlfriend and her family. We did the Brewery Heist, which according to the woman who ran it, is the most difficult one they have (8/10 difficulty). We started slow, but as we got the hang of it, along with a few hints, we were able to solve the puzzle with 15 seconds to spare. But we did it! We had heard rompers that they lock you in; they don't. They keep an eye on you via cameras and do offer hints via an iPad if they see you are struggling, although you don't have to look at it. They have several games you can choose from. If you are unsure of which one you would like to do, call them. They will help you decide. You don't have to buy the whole room if you don't have enough people, although I don't know how that works as we were the only ones there. Overall a great experience. I look forward to trying another. read more

Green Light Escape Room - The victors. We saved the beer for Wilmington! - Escape Games Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

My first escape room and we successfully escaped with only 2 minutes to spare! It was honestly so fun I highly recommend. We did the Brewery Heist which only has like a 40% success rate (I think that is what they said)... and 8/10 on the hard scale. There were 7 of us, and I don't think we would have been able to do it with just 4 or 5 people... so the more the better for this one! Definitely a great rainy day activity, again I highly recommend! read more

Our group of 10 did the Jurassic Labs room. It was dark and misty upon arrival and it was hard to see things , I thought it was not as much fun or interesting as others I have been in. We needed quite a few clues and it took us a long time to escape. Friendly welcome and pic at the end! read more

We had a great time trying to escape from the " Kidnapped" room ! Our host Micah was great and sent subtle hints when we were stuck. The room was interactive with lots of surprises ! We escaped with under 2 minutes to go! We will definitely go back and try another of Green Light's escape rooms! read more

An exciting evening with 2 teens on a Friday night!! I would have been locked in the room all night if it weren't for them!! read more

Green Light Escape Room - The kids did it. - Escape Games Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

My family and I decided to do this escape room same day. We were lucky to get 4 spots and ended up doing the alien room by ourselves. Jackson was so kind and friendly. He explained everything and made our experience great. We enjoyed the escape room and will definitely come back. And since our family was the only ones in the room we were allowed to remove our masks once we were in the room. Wish I could say more about the room but I wouldn't want to ruin the Fun! read more

3.5 stars. A caveat that I am a huge escape room person and have exposure to a large number of brands across the country so my expectations might be too high - that said, I still really enjoyed myself! They are taking great COVID precautions with the lobby closed and the rooms all private. My party of 4 did the brewery room which was their hardest. We were able to solve without any clues and 20ish minutes to spare. I liked that puzzles were 'non linear' meaning you could work on a couple at the same time and they weren't sequentially dependent on you solving them. I also love when there is more than one space you occupy. That said, the production value of the rooms was a bit lower than the ones I've been to in NYC and DC- and the lack of apparatuses you use to solve a puzzle was less varied (almost everything was finding lock combos). Knowing what I know now, I'd still go back and would definitely recommend this place to escape room newbies. If you're an escape room aficionado, I would still tell you to go, but just temper your expectations a tad. read more

My father was coming into town to visit and I wanted to do a bonding experience with he, myself and my bf. We had the best time working on puzzles and although we needed clues sometimes, we escaped and the aliens didnt capture us!!! This room really has us thinking outside the box, some of the tasks we were like no way!!! Haha ok let's do it! It's a great chance to team build. It's a little expensive but well worth the money! We are looking forward to our next adventure there. read more

My family and I did the Kidnapped escape room over the weekend and had such a fun time! It was my parents' first time doing an escape room, so I was worried they would get frustrated but our host Julie was patient and helpful. We all had a great time and cannot wait to return in the future. read more

Green Light Escape Room - Kidnapped success! - Escape Games Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

Brewery heist was so fun! It was my first and I'll definitely be back for more! Highly recommend to anyone in Wilmington looking for something to do! Emily was great at helping us out! Made it with 5 minutes to spare!!! read more

Five of us went, ages 9-71, none of which had ever done an escape room before and really didn't know what to expect. Out of the five of us, my stepson and his son, ages 44 and 16, enjoyed it the most and were clearly the best at solving the puzzles. We were told during the orientation that we would only get clues if we asked but we found that not to be the case, which was more than fine because we would probably still be in the room without them! We chose the kidnap room because that had the easiest rating (7 out of 10). We made it out but went one minute over the allotted time. It's a fun rainy day activity to do, and it inspired my stepson to seek out some escape rooms in NY where he lives. As for us, while we enjoyed it, we would only return if we have out of town guests (hopefully smart ones) and are looking for something to do. TIP: it's probably best to go with no more than 8 people, probably even less. We had five and that was perfect. Too many might get hectic, but of course it depends on the personalities involved. read more

Our group went to Green Light for a team building experience and we loved every minute of it. The puzzles were challenging and the host was very helpful. We will definitely be back to try a new game next time. We did the Brewery Heist and we highly recommend it. read more

Ok, so first escape room ever. It was so much fun! Averi was an excellent host and did a wonderful job setting up our group for the experience. We did the "Kidnapped" room and it was perfect for a first timer and a group with an 8 year old. I would love to do it again! read more

Emily checked us into the Brewery Room We were a party (family) of 5 None of us had ever been in one, and it was a Fun experience We really didn't know what to do to "get started"... But the "in room iPad" gave us perfect hints, at just the right time We didn't escape within the hour, BUT, since it was a weekday, and they weren't busy, we played a little longer, got a few more hints, and ESCAPED. Fun was had by all. read more

Game master Mac was extremely nice professional and helpful. He made our experience so much fun! My wife and I were here on vacation and stop by for a little challenge. The escape room was super fun. I would definitely come back to escape another! thanks Mac read more

Green Light Escape Room - Made it out alive!!! - Escape Games Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

Had a great time! We were able to "escape" with a few minutes left on the clock which is always a good thing. Not to simple and not overly complex. Been to several escape rooms from coast to coast and this one was one of the top 3. We'll be back. read more

This was our first experience in an escape room. We highly recommend Green Light Escape! The owner was friendly and very helpful! It was challenging and exciting. We will definitely be back! read more

As a NYC escape room enthusiast, I'm always looking for something new, innovative, and exciting. I chose Alien Escape on my vacation because the description made me think I was in for a treat and I was very happily surprised when I completed the room. There are puzzles here that I've never seen before and require complete cooperation (in other words...impossible to do alone). I brought my family here who were complete noobs and they had a blast! The room was challenging but not overwhelming. The puzzles were fun and memorable and the overall experience left us wanting more! I gave a 4 out of 5 because one of the big puzzles wasn't working properly and we had to get help from one of the employees to "make" the puzzle work. read more

This was our first time going to an escape room. We went with our 8 and 11 year old. Everyone had a great time. We did the Kidnapped room. Slightly harder than we were expecting but still a great time for our vacationing family. The employee responsible for our room was fantastic. read more

We did the Brewery Heist room last week with Lane! She was wonderful and the puzzles were wicked fun! Some great surprises and innovative solutions using common tools. We saved the BEER with a few minutes to spare. Very clean and safe COVID precautions. Highly recommend! read more

Green Light Escape Room is a perfect place to visit to help your team work together. There were 9!of us working to "escape." It didn't seem like too many participants at all. Very challenging, yet attainable. Our coach, Nia, was helpful, fun and entertaining. I would recommend this for adults, it was a lot of fun. Price was very affordable. Very positive experience from beginning to end. Easy to book, great follow up. read more

Seems like a cool place, but would rather turn down two paying adults than waive the three person minimum when no one else is around and looks interested in taking part. Just lost two customers and $56. Good business practice... read more

One really fun room and one somewhat less fun, but overall still a great experience! The first room we did was the time traveler room. This one was great--lots of really inventive puzzles, things that didn't rely too much on locks and combinations. Impressive tech, too, and some I've never seen before that was very fun to work with. The second was the alien abduction room, which wasn't as much of a hit with us. Yes, as they told us, it was heavier on the problem-solving than a typical escape room. The main issue for me, though, was the red herrings. They told us at the start that items marked with a purple gem weren't part of the puzzle, so naturally any items we found NOT marked we assumed were part of it. Not so. There were SO many unmarked items that weren't related at all, and we all wasted a lot of time trying to use them/figure out how they were related. I've heard good things about the Escape the Roxbury Room, and will try that next. read more

We did the beer heist and it was super fun!! Our group of 4 did it in 45 minutes. Lots of clues and locks.

4.5/5 stars. Stopped in here with a very large crowd so we were split into two groups. One group did the Brewery Heist, the other did the FBI room. I was in the FBI group. We had a ton of fun. It's a great team building exercise. I would say that the clues were pretty challenging. We were able to finish our room with about 20 minutes to spare. Apparently the Brewery Heist is much more difficult. The other group was unable to finish in the allotted amount of time and we had to wait on them to be unlocked. All in all, a great experience! Would definitely recommend this place to friends in the area or families on vacation. read more

This was so much fun! Gabby was great and gave us hints or else we couldn't have made it out.

This was our fourth escape Room and one of our favorites. We chose Kidnapped! There were four of us ages 14-68 and we were all able to participate. We also appreciated that the employee was paying attention to what we were doing when we needed hints. Next time we are in town we will be back to try another room. read more

It was so much fun! It was very clean inside. Definitely worth the money. Our game master was awesome. He knew exactly when we were at our limit and would give us very subtle hints. The scare effects were awesome. Love that you get to take pictures with funny photo posters after. Couple downfalls...I would complain about is, we had to buy 3 tickets even for only two people to reserve the room, or risk our time slot being booked from under us if we bought tickets for just us two at the door. So being proactive and trying to be sure you reserve you have to pay for a minimum of three people. No they won't refund the third person later either. We even went for our anniversary and they still wouldn't refund that third ticket. All in all we will go again just bummed we have to pay that much for two people goin on a date. read more

Great staff. We escaped the travelers escape maze with one minute to spare. It was a fun time. Not bad for a Monday night of fun. I recommend it. Everything worked properly but some of the puzzles were tough and ate a ton of time. Well worth it. Pick your team carefully. read more

this is THEE place to go for an escape room experience in wilmington! everyone i dealt with, starting with calling before making a reservation to inquire about what room would be the best fit for my family, was extremely nice, patient, and helpful! i have to elaborate on their stellar customer service! on our breakout room day we were running a little late, stuck in traffic. i called to let them know that we wouldn't make the '15 mins before our scheduled time' window hoping they wouldn't give our spot away. David assured me everything would be ok and, even though i'm sure we messed up their schedule by arriving 5 minutes after our scheduled time, he was still very thorough with the briefing (we had 3 escape room newbies so that was crucial) and made us all laugh too! we did 'kidnapped' and they knocked it out of the park with this room. the major highlights that made this an exceptional experience for my family compared to some other escape rooms i've done: the story was innovative, the requested hints were applicable, and the room was brilliantly done. oh, we escaped!! with 1:30 left! when we're together again we'll for sure go back and do 'escape the roxbury'! go here, you won't regret it! read more

Green Light Escape Room - we escaped!!! (barely!!) - Escape Games Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

This was our first time doing one of these, had never even heard of it before! We had 3 people and we actually chose this one because they let us 3 go together just us. another place said that we'd have to go in a group with other people since we only had 3. so we really liked that we could do this one with just our group. we did the alien room one which they said was their hardest one. we ended up needing clues but it was sooooo cool we loved it. we would definitely go back, definitely worth the price just because it was so cool. we would've maybe done an easier one since it was our first time but we'll do more in the future read more
