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.

Most do not know about the Revolutionary War Battles fought in the south and this park is a very enlightening and educational experience. They have a nice center with exhibits, a great walking tour and for those that prefer, a driving tour of the battlefield.

The International Civil Rights Center & Museum (ICRCM), located in Greensboro, N.C., is an archival center, collecting museum and teaching facility devoted to the international struggle for civil and human rights. This national landmark and national site of conscience celebrates the nonviolent protests of the 1960 Greensboro sit-ins that served as a catalyst in the civil rights movement. Our vision is to memorialize the courageous stand of the Greensboro Four as they launched, for posterity, the sit-in movement Feb. 1, 1960. We hope that the ICRCM, with its focus on the sit-in activities at the F.W. Woolworth lunch counter in Greensboro in 1960, will inspire the vigilance and fortify the spirit of all oppressed people to step forward in the ongoing struggle for human freedom.
What an amazing experience. I saw another review mentioning tour guide Gloria...she was our guide as well, and she did a fantastic job. She's engaging, patient and knowledgeable but what really impressed me was her passion for the subject, which really made her words come alive and got us passionate on the subject of civil rights as well. Gloria also was great at making personal connections with individual members of the tour; several had their own stories to tell about relatives who'd lived in the deep South during Jim Crow or tales about their own experiences with discrimination, and she listened with empathy to them all. I was there with a family member and a friend, both of whom have lived in Greensboro for a while but had never been to the Civil Rights museum...they were extremely glad I, an out of towner, wanted to go. We all learned quite a bit, even on subjects we thought we learned all there was to know. I cannot recommend this museum enough.
