Our family traveled from out of state to spend time with parents. We have played 4 other escape games in the past. Nathan and the team did a great job of making it fun and bringing a unique experience to the escape game. We played the Outbreak room and with 1 minute to spare successfully escaped!! We were a group of 6 adults over 20 yrs old. I would definitely recommend......

5.0 based on 374 reviews
Codescape features real-life adventure game experiences where you can lose yourself in a lucid dream, race to uncover a supernatural relic, or investigate a sinister haunting. However, you and your friends have only one trip around the clock to find clues, solve puzzles, uncover secret passageways, overcome obstacles and Be the Hero. That's sixty minutes people, and every minute counts!

After participating in several escape rooms for team development and fun, I have started to keep an eye on what makes the best experience in escape rooms for their complexity, thematic elements, playability, and leveraging diverse skills within the group. Shipwrecked was an amazing room set in a small cave and a pirate ship's hull. The decor of the room(s) was quasi-believable without being overdone or kitschy. Challenges increased in complexity and there was a good sense of continuity as some clues were isolated while others were relevant throughout the story. This is a multi-room escape (almost always a plus) with a variety of puzzle types and unique technologies to keep things fresh and interesting. Both physical and logical puzzles intertwined to engage the different player strengths in the group. The operator of the room was excellent, clearly outlining expectations for how hints would affect the playability of the room and the success rate. Our group was 6 adults (strangers) getting to know one another at a conference in Charlotte. We had a great time!

Our group consisted of several veterans of escape rooms. We did the Cold Case room and it wad loads of fun. Puzzles were challenging and also creative. Our game master did a great job in setting up the storyline. We all really enjoyed the room. Great job!
4. Exit Strategy North
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 80 reviews
Immersive, challenging, FUN! An exhilarating experience designed to test your wits! Perfect for groups of family, friends, and co-workers! A truly one-of-a-kind experience you'll never forget! Charlotte's #1 escape room, Exit Strategy is the original escape room business in the Southeast, and the most immersive! Boasting 12 uniquely-themed experiences across 2 locations (North and South) in Charlotte. Sixty minutes may sound like a lot of time, until the pressure of cracking clues and solving puzzles intensifies with each passing second. Escape requires keen problem-solving skills and collaboration, perfect for groups of two to ten people (depending on the room). Each uncovered clue places teams one step closer to achieving their ultimate goal: unlocking the door and escaping the room before the clock strikes zero. Success may earn the group a place on Exit Strategy's wall of fame, although failure may inspire a repeat visit to try again.

Our party played "Patient Zero," which was excellent. Our game master Ethan played an excellent role introducing the room to us with theatrical engagement, encouraging and leading to the enjoyment of each one of us. We made it through!

WOW... Great fun! Took my family of 5 for a fun outing day after Thanksgiving. 4 of us have never done an escape room so we were unsure of what to expect. It was challenging, fun and entertaining. Look forward to going back to try other rooms/escape experiences that they have. Great for families, couples, groups of friends, birthdays, etc.

We had a wonderful time in the Escape Room! Shout out to McKenzie our game master, she gave us clues whenever we needed it and helped us with any issues. The escape room, “Depth,” was absolutely amazing. It was unique with technology and was a great environment! Definitely recommend!

We did this as a family Christmas in 2017 and 2019 - we did Gone and Bank Heist, respectively. Gone was incredibly atmospheric. Bank Heist is super well-staged, and Rachel ran it really well for us. We had a blast, and quite frankly this place has ruined other escape room locations for me. It's too good.
