    Came in town for a con and had some time to kill, picked tower escapes because the exterior looked cool, but ended up LOVING the puzzles. Great mechanical puzzles with interesting and interactive solutions, almost no straightforward key to lock puzzles, a few fun surprises and hidden compartments. We played the speakeasy room. GM was super nice too and prompt with clues.

    First of all, the staff at Tower Escapes did us a huge favor. We drive in from Winston-Salem and got stuck in traffic. They started our game fifteen minutes late due to our arrival. We called from the crawling traffic on Hwy 40 and they offered us the late start. Thanks! We took on the Loche Castle escape. Early on it offered opportunities for collaboration. Roughly half way through the puzzle the puzzles got linear ( meaning 1 or 2 people focused to solve the puzzle to reveal the next in the solution. We like rooms which demand collaboration/coordination through more of the escape. Yes, we escaped!

    We went as a family (parents and teen) and did the "The secret of the tower keeper" room.

    Times Up! Escape Rooms - The room to do

    Times Up! Escape Rooms

    (23 reviews)

    My wife and I recently visited Times Up! and we had a really good time…read more Most of the rooms at Times Up! required 4 or more participants, and since it was just the two of us, our only choice was the Room 555 escape room. Overall, I thought the room was a lot of fun. The moderator was nice, and the room had some good puzzles. My only complaints would be: 1) The text-to-speech computer program used to present the story and clues was a little awkward and clunky, and it definitely made it harder to immerse myself in the scenario. It'd be significantly better if a real person was reading the dialogue. Also, it felt like the background story could have been more interesting, although the clues were fun to figure out. 2) One of the clues was meant to be locked and they left it unlocked, so the moderator had to come in during the scenario and re-lock it for us. Not a big deal, but it did disrupt the event a bit. Overall, I liked Times Up! and would definitely come back.

    As someone who has done a lot of escape rooms, Times Up! is a decent place to visit and is…read moreespecially the right type of escape room venue to take people for the first time. I've completed 3 of the rooms at this location and they are all fun and great for groups. However, the quality of Times Up! is simply not as good as other escape rooms that I've been to. Without getting into the details about the rooms or their solutions, my biggest gripe is about the quality of the rooms. The decorations definitely feel antiquated, and the rooms themselves could certainly have more personality to them. I've been to places where the themes go all out and have some pretty unique decorations. While the rooms to each have a theme, some props are clearly cheap. In some instances, doors don't open completely and locks are a bit finnicky to unlock. Plus, the backstory of the room isn't really told by the gamemaster. It's told by a text-to-speech AI on a fuzzy screen. Their speech isn't even free flowing, it's super choppy and odd. As a positive, I love how there are different themed rooms with varying difficulties. I've managed to escape each of the rooms I've attempted and I've always felt satisfied with the team performance after each room. The gamemasters have always been kind and helpful when we ask for hints. And although sometimes the execution isn't perfect, I can appreciate the attempt to try and create unique puzzles. Overall, Times Up! has some redeeming qualities to it that make this place worth trying. If you're looking for the best of the best, there are some other really amazing spots, but if you're looking for just a fun activity on a rainy day then this is the place!

    Came here with my wife recently and completed one of the escape rooms! We had a really good time…read moreand 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.

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!
