    My wife and two young adults were in town and decided to try Timed Out Escape. We were not disappointed! We did the "Depth" room and it was so fun! Chris was our game master. He was so nice and helpful. He made the game even more fun! There was a glitch in one aspect of the game (technology right??) and they fixed it while we kept playing. Was not an issue at all. The premise of the game was interesting and the difficulty was just right. We escaped with a few minutes to spare and with our hearts pumping!! We would not hesitate to go back to Timed Out Escape. This was truly an excellent experience.

    Yes! Right on time @ Time Out Escape. Today, we decided to celebrate my husband birthday with a escape room. We booked the West theme room which was well decorated and not to much. Chris, was our game master he was very nice and quick with clues. The place was definitely clean and organized. My family really had a great time at Time Out Escape. I love how they each team posted on their website based off ranks. They even gave my husband a shirt for his bday based off the room we were end. Love it! I highly recommend this Escape place.

    If you've never done an escape room, then you can stop here & go straight to this company with no regrets. If you have done escape rooms before, here's a detailed review for you. Timed Out Escape is independently owned & local, but you'd never know from the moment you walk in. Everything feels so polished and professional. This feels like a corporate business. The rooms have incredible attention to detail. No cheap props. And it's the little things: professional videos, an alert tone which matches the theme of each room, and responsive game masters who knows exactly how far along you are in the game. All this is highly appreciated from those who have done many many rooms. This review is for my favorite: Illusion, a magic themed escape room. As I said earlier, lots of attention to detail with all the puzzles themed for magic. (Which by the way, is an escape room theme you don't see that often!) In addition, after doing several hundred escape rooms, we still found unique puzzles not seen before! (We liked their work so much, we came back and did the rest of their rooms a few weeks later. I can happily say that the uniqueness of the puzzles, the immersive set designs and the customer service was maintained across every room!) Timed Out Escape is great for new escape room adventurers & pros alike. The owners clearly love escape rooms themselves and have put lots of work & passion into their business. If you are ever in Charlotte & want to do an escape room, this company needs to be at the top of your list.

    First time doing an escape room and now I know what all the hype is about! We were in a group of 3 with two adults and one 8 year old but we still killed it (with a little help from out game master, amber) this place allows for unlimited clues which is great -- but we used less than 10! Also thank you to Amber for making this such a great experience!

    Illusion Room Escape!!!

    Very well done. Highly recommend! Very professional, friendly, informative staff. High quality escape rooms, very well done, think- spare no expense, when being in this facility, they did it right. We did the Illusion room, loved it & finished with seconds to spare (with hints). We are coming back soon to try a different escape.

    Amazing area to sit during PARTAYYYYYY

    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.

It was challenging but it is just the one room. You don't escape into another room like I've done in previous escape rooms. Now let's talk customer service. We came in with a 10year old soccer team for a team building event. When I booked they were very nice and knew we would be coming in. Yes they were excited and loud. However, the staff member could have been nicer about it. Especially towards the children. The staff member checking us in was condescending but pretending to be nice. I could tell they were annoyed with us. Another staff member yelled at one of the parents for taking a pic of their time before they left the room after the game was over. As I was leaving I was looking for my kid, she said I'm here mom to let me know where she was. I told her to not be so loud. Then the staff member said in a condescending way "You know you're inside right?" Other than the interaction with those two staff members the kids had fun. I doubt any of the families will return though due to customer service.
