The Meeks is different from other haunted houses because it follows a storyline. I dont just mean that it has a background story, but it also tells a story of a dysfunctional family as you walk through the haunt. Be prepared to be tarrified as you walk through a horror movie that unfolds all around you.

Very friendly! 1st time visiting an escape room and we had a lot of fun. We really enjoyed the fact it was only 2 of us in the room, I don’t know how you could solve anything with more (in my opinion I’d be too confused). We chose to do the escape from Alcatraz, we only had one more box to open and we were beat by the clock. We even got a free picture at the end! Thank you! Had a good time while visiting Roanoke.
