This is the second time I have been to Bull City Escape, and it was just as fabulous as the first. I have completed both the Enchanted Kingdom and the Murder Mystery escape rooms and they were both highly interactive, engaging, and FUN. Not only do the rooms reflect a passion for the stories, but the staff are interactive and informative. Luckily the team I was part of escaped both times, but even if we hadn't the experience would still have been great. I highly recommend Bull City Escape as a go-to Durham destination.

Escape on Purpose is our favorite escape room in the area. The details they put into designing the rooms are incredible. We just completed the new room Mission:Submarine Attack. Incredible design work where you feel like you are in an actual submarine. The owners are very friendly and create a great experience. I've done escape rooms in other cities and states and Escape on Purpose is in my top 3. We are looking forward to the new room coming in October/November.

About 30 of our employees were in Durham for work at Duke University Health and took a break one evening to have fun. Urban Axes was perfect for us, and gave plenty of time for interaction, fun, and a bit of friendly competition. Every person had a blast.

We all had fun! We worked together and used clues to find our way out of rooms. Family of 5 with two teenagers. The game kept their interest and they begged to go back. We completed the Vampire room. It wasn't too scary, so younger children can play.
