Escape rooms have grown significantly in popularity across the U.S. in the past year. That’s been abundantly evident in the Tar Heel State as well. Groups of friends, entire families or employees taking part in a group exercise are flocking to escape rooms, excited to see how hard it is to follow the clues and escape. The following escape rooms are the best in North Carolina. Are you up for the challenge?
The escape rooms at A-Escape are a bit different in that they’re private. You’ll never be placed with people you don’t know. And while some don’t find that to be an issue, many appreciate this departure from the norm. Choose from The Abandoned Submarine, Selachi Biotech and The Mystery Lodge for a great experience and fun activity.
Private rooms are available at Green Light Escape Room in Wilmington, too. They guarantee guests won’t have experienced anything like they’ll experience here, however. Choose from Kidnapped!, Alien Escape, Escape the Roxbury and Brewery Heist. You’ll have 60 minutes to collectively figure your way out. Do you and your friends/family members have what it takes to escape?
Bull City Escape was voted the #1 escape room in Durham, North Carolina. Repeat customers love that all rooms are private, so they’re only playing with the people in their group. The owners claim that even mystery and puzzle addicts will be challenged when attempting to escape their rooms. Choose from Lunar Lockdown, Enchanted Kingdom and A Study in Murder. Games accommodate from three to six or four to eight players.
Escape a “movie” at The Box Escape Room. Choose from Predestined, Cold Case Killer and The Ventriloquist. You’ll play the role of one of the characters as you work to escape alongside other characters. Subscribe to their online newsletter and get 5 percent off a future booking.
