Had our first foray into escape rooms today for our son's 12th birthday (the cabin experience) and…read morewe are ABSOLUTELY going back again for the pawn shop experience! It was six of us in total - me, my wife, her parents, my son and my 9 year old daughter. We were SO close with the last puzzle, but the difficulty was honestly perfect for us and when the last puzzle's solution was unveiled...d'oh! As a longtime fan of adventure games like the type Lucasarts did back in the day, this really scratched my puzzle itch and that same satisfaction when you finally solve a puzzle that's driving you nuts! Additionally, Sarah was a fantastic host! As this was our first escape room, she perfectly let us know what to expect, her clues when we needed them were very clear for us and you can tell she really enjoys this place with the enthusiasm she showed. The price is about what you'd expect per person for an escape room based on other ones I've seen online and they even do 20% off on Thursdays to boot! If you're new to escape rooms, this is the place for you. And even if you're a seasoned escape room vet, this place will pleasantly surprise you, as the owner creates the puzzles himself and doesn't buy it/contract it out from another company. Just another great reason to support this local business!

Literally the Best Escape Room Experience Ever! Okay... we're still talking about this days later…read more My family and I went to Nocturne Adventures not knowing what to expect, and WOW--this place blew our minds. It felt like we walked right into a full-blown horror movie. The vibe? Intense. The acting? On point. The storyline? Wild. And YES... you're actually being chased which somehow makes the puzzles feel even more real and urgent. Pure adrenaline from start to finish! But here's what really made it special: My mom is Deaf, and a lot of times she's left out of experiences like this (escape rooms can be SO fast-paced). I told her I'd interpret for her, but then one of the actors started signing in ASL. We were all stunned in the best way. It turned the night from fun to unforgettable. My mom felt seen and included, and we all got to experience it together. It's rare to find something this immersive and inclusive. Nocturne Adventures nailed it on every level. I can't believe all of this happens in their basement--it's truly next level. If you're even thinking about booking... just do it. You won't regret it. Thank you for creating a family memory we'll never forget!

We've already played both rooms, but we will definitely be going back to play them again... and to take our kids to meet 'The Ripper'. They have put SO much thought and work into both rooms... it's hard to say which is my favorite bc they're both awesome rooms. Hands down in our top 3 and we've done hundreds of escape rooms. Check them out... you won't regret it!!

We are escape room enthusiasts and we've been to lots of them in many different states and…read morecities..... Total Escape is our absolute favorite! The rooms are clever, well designed and immersive. Clues are only given if you ask (some places will give you clues even if you don't ask which can be annoying) and the game masters are always friendly and informative. We also like that if you book the room, it closes out so you aren't in with random ppl that you don't know. I love meeting new ppl and socializing but when it comes to escape rooms, it's just not the best idea. The rooms all have a good mixture of different types of puzzles to solve so that everyone in your group can add their talents to the effort as well. And since I don't want to ruin any of the room surprises, you'll have to go and experience on your own but it's a fun way to spend time together and work as a team. Highly recommend!

Although I haven't tried laser tag, I did attempt the grid. It's very much similar to activate except it has 30 rooms with each containing a different point value & different objectives. The goal is for the team containing 2-5 people to reach 1,000 points. The first time I went with my group, we only got 175. It's totally okay for that to happen, I'd highly suggest going with 3-5 players at least for some of the rooms you encounter, but I'm sure if there is only two they compromise for it. Overall is a fun experience, and it is highly suggested that you wear comfortable clothes and some closed toe shoes. This is due to the fact that some of the rooms deal with mental, physical, skill, or a bit of it all. You are being timed from 30, 60, or 90 minutes. I would highly suggest the 90 minute one to ensure you have a chance to visit 85-90% of the rooms. They have hand sanitizers located on some of the walls outside the room as well! Really funny experience! They also have a concession stand as well.

I have no idea what this kick ass escape room is doing in teeny-tiny Hudson, NC just off Hwy 321…read morebut I'm so glad they're there! We thought we knew good escape rooms having visited a few impressive ones (and a few not so impressive ones) in Charlotte, but Xscape's Curse of the Mummy room put them all to shame! My husband's family lives in Valdese, just 20 minutes or so from this escape room, and when we were looking for something fun to do with his sister for her birthday, we decided to book at Xscape. They only have the one room right now but are working hard to open a second (involving diffusing a bomb, I'm told) in the coming months. The Curse of the Mummy room incorporates amazing props, immersive "scenery," and incredible technology. Seriously, it's the best room we've ever experienced, hands down. I don't want to give away too much, but will tell you that I'm still emptying sand out of my shoes a couple hours after escaping with just a few minutes to spare. ;)

Each group is given 60 minutes to work together in order to solve clues and puzzles in order to escape the room. Xscape creates and delivers an atmosphere which is great for friends, family, co-workers, and anyone seeking a fun and safe night out! Experience BombSquad and/or Curse of the Mummy today!

We did The Depths (sea mystery) escape room at The Escape Game Concord. Overall, the experience was…read morejust okay. The place itself felt a bit worn down--the rooms weren't very clean, and some props seemed broken or not working as they should. For the price, I expected it to be in better shape, especially since it's not a brand-new location. I also think the one-hour time limit feels a little short; an extra 10-15 minutes would make the experience more enjoyable without feeling rushed. The staff member at the front desk was friendly, but he had trouble with my card and ended up having to enter it manually, which was a little inconvenient. Overall, not terrible, but definitely room for improvement--both in terms of upkeep and value for the price.
