The young lady at the front check-in counter was super friendly and inviting. Alicia worked through some INTENSE tension on me. That massage is like no other I've had before and I will be back for regular work. I didn't even realize how much I was holding in my body until she started pushing it out. I know now the importance of taking care of your body - and not just with exercise and diet. Scheduled another visit on the way out!

This isn’t your average outing or everyday experience—Breakout is for those who would rather solve mysteries than watch someone else have all the fun. With different rooms that follow unique story-lines, you and your friends will have 60 minutes to escape your adventure of choice by cracking codes, solving puzzles and following clues. Part problem solving, part adrenaline, end-to-end fun!

I've been to Breakout twice now. Once with my adult kids and once with my office for a team building event. Both times were a blast! Katey and Kady were phenomenal Game Masters. The staff makes the experience even more fun with their humor and wit. You have one goal: escape the room in under 1 hour. You’ll solve puzzles, crack codes, find hidden items, and more in order to escape. There are multiple rooms to choose from and each have unique characteristics sure to please everyone in your group. We did Hostage Room and the handcuffs and blindfolds made for an interesting start to throw us off, but it didn't work, as we escaped in time! I would highly recommend Breakout for any age group. Whether you're looking for quality family time doing something other than a movie or going out to eat, looking to build teamwork with your co-workers, celebrating a birthday, or looking for something unique to do for Date Night...Breakout is the way to go.

We had a fantastic time at Fainting Goat Spirits! It was raining and we did a google search for things to do in Greensboro. The distillery was at the top of the list and we are so happy we went. The Norman family who owns and operates the business greeted us warmly and we enjoyed a tasting of their spirits; 2 rye whiskies, gin, vodka, and their limited edition Christmas whiskey. My husband and I really enjoyed talking with their family and we learned so much about the distilling process for each spirit. We later saw Mr.Norman and the family at a local restaurant and he sent over two old fashioneds (made with his whiskey of course!) for us to enjoy to celebrate our Anniversary! You don’t find great people (or great spirits) like this everyday!
