Blackbeard's Escape was challenging for all, newbies as well as those that had been to escape rooms before. More importantly though it was a LOT of fun!! Thankfully Chase had our back when our ship seemed doomed to sink! Kris and her staff were incredibly gracious and went out of their way to ensure everyone that walks through their door leaves looking forward to returning. Can't wait to try the other rooms!! Highly recommend this place!!

The three of us were so excited about our Exit Games experience! We had so much fun working together to find clues that would lead us to “steal” valuable objects from the vault. Hayley, our hostess, was super friendly and helpful, and our time in the escape room was filled with laughter, suspense, and plenty of challenging puzzles. We couldn’t have asked for a better first-time escape room experience!
