We spent the entire day at Timed Out, and loved it so much we played all of their rooms. Their rooms are challenging but not impossible. Each room had something really neat that set it apart from other escape rooms. The owner talked to us a good bit about what it's like owning an escape room (we've been talking about opening up our own for a while now) and let us see how things work behind the scenes. One of my favorite parts were the game masters... they were teenagers and were a lot of fun. It's nice seeing a business owner hire teenagers who are full of energy and love their jobs. Anyways, if you love escape rooms, check this place out! You won't regret it! Thanks for such a great time, y'all Can't wait to come back to play the new room when it opens!!

We visited Hometown Escapes last Saturday and had a blast! We were in the "Black Beard's Cabin"…read moreroom which was a fun family-friendly room for our group. This was a birthday gift to our 8 year old niece who had never done an escape room before. I couldn't have been more pleased with the setup - she had so much fun! About Black Beard's Cabin: This room wasn't super difficult and we were able to get out in less than 40 minutes without any hints, but the 4 adults also have a lot of experience with escape rooms. There are A LOT of lock boxes to figure out, but they often color coordinated the clues with the lock box which was definitely a reason we were able to get out faster. There was a good assortment of clues where we really had to think and work as a team. The room itself wasn't very big compared to other places I've played, so I would recommend a group size of 2-6 people. I would highly recommend this to groups with kids or teens. Additional things I like about Hometown Escapes: - Easy online booking and payment - Private rooms for just your group! Yay! - Family-friendly rooms - Friendly staff We plan to go back at try the other rooms in the future. We were also told they're currently putting together a Christmas room for the holiday season.

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.

Our family loves escape rooms so were SUPER excited to have one open right here in Harrisburg!…read more Perfect timing with their opening, so we brought 10 13-year olds for a birthday outing. Plenty of parking, right off Highway 49 near the Robinson Church Rd intersection. Decor is clean and well-thought out. There is currently one room, with two more in the works. Theme was great for both the experienced kids and the first-timers. They received just enough help to get out of the puzzle with 2 minutes to spare. It's a great place to spend time with friends thinking! Come out and support local business-we'll be back for sure!

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!

Escapology Escape Rooms Charlotte has some strong points. The room themes are well-designed,…read moreimmersive, and visually interesting. Unfortunately, the overall experience fell short compared to many other escape rooms we have played. My group has completed every escape room in Charlotte, along with numerous rooms in other states and several overseas, so we have a broad basis for comparison. One of the biggest issues was the size of the rooms. They felt cramped and crowded, and while the advertised capacity may be higher, the rooms seem best suited for two to four players at most. The puzzles were also frustrating at times. Many of the clues felt overly convoluted, and the room lacked a clear sense of progression. Rather than flowing naturally from one puzzle to the next, the challenges often felt disconnected and lacked cohesion. The game management also impacted our experience. We were told that the game masters were monitoring multiple rooms simultaneously, which appeared to contribute to delays. At one point, we successfully completed a piano-based puzzle multiple times, but nothing happened. After repeating it several times, a game master finally noticed and advanced the puzzle. Situations like this can be particularly frustrating when time is limited. Overall, Escapology Charlotte offers attractive themes and creative room designs, but the small room sizes, inconsistent puzzle flow, and game-master oversight issues detracted from the experience. With some refinements, it could be a much stronger escape room destination.

The Infinite made me feel like a legit astronaut (without all the math). The VR spacewalk? Unreal.

Totally worth it--if NASA isn't calling you anytime soon, just book this. BUYING TICKETS Use promo code 'ONTHECHEAP' for 25% off adult admission (available as of this writing) also be aware there is a processing fee upon checkout. YOUR STUFF There are first come first serve lockers for jackets, water bottles, purses etc. Other than money for the concession stand or gift shop, you don't need anything else. UPON ARRIVAL You'll scan tickets (or provide your confirmation number to be printed on demand), proceed with your group to a staff member for a quick tutorial. Then you'll gear up and get your VR headset complete with built in audio. They'd then scan your entire party (bar code on VR) so you can find each other during the activity designated by a golden yellow light. Other guests will be blue, staff will be green. Then you are off to space! Those who are unstable or uneasy with heights will benefit from a 'buddy' to hold their hand as they adjust to the virtual reality. They can step out of the activity easily at anytime and are surrounded with helpful staff. Just keep reminding them they are on a flat surface and what they are seeing is an illusion. You'll navigate through the space station, the ship, stunning views, and feel as though you are part of the crew. You'll then be directed a seat clearly marked just for you for a remarkable grand finale. After the VR Tour you are welcome to visit their gravity exhibit, the giant earth, multiple selfie stations, the gift shop ($8 for astronaut ice cream) and concession stand with tables to rest and enjoy. Overall our party of 6 (ages 9-72) enjoyed the experience. Definitely something different from the status quo.
