Bull City Escape

Bull City Escape is an exhilarating, interactive experience designed to test your wits. The premise is simple: small groups are locked in a room and have 60 minutes to escape. To find the key, you must work together to unearth clues, solve puzzles, and crack codes. Book a room with your friends, family, or co-workers – and see if you have what it takes to escape!

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.

Our family traveled from out of state to spend time with parents. We have played 4 other escape games in the past. Nathan and the team did a great job of making it fun and bringing a unique experience to the escape game. We played the Outbreak room and with 1 minute to spare successfully escaped!! We were a group of 6 adults over 20 yrs old. I would definitely recommend......

Codescape

Codescape features real-life adventure game experiences where you can lose yourself in a lucid dream, race to uncover a supernatural relic, or investigate a sinister haunting. However, you and your friends have only one trip around the clock to find clues, solve puzzles, uncover secret passageways, overcome obstacles and Be the Hero. That's sixty minutes people, and every minute counts!

After participating in several escape rooms for team development and fun, I have started to keep an eye on what makes the best experience in escape rooms for their complexity, thematic elements, playability, and leveraging diverse skills within the group. Shipwrecked was an amazing room set in a small cave and a pirate ship's hull. The decor of the room(s) was quasi-believable without being overdone or kitschy. Challenges increased in complexity and there was a good sense of continuity as some clues were isolated while others were relevant throughout the story. This is a multi-room escape (almost always a plus) with a variety of puzzle types and unique technologies to keep things fresh and interesting. Both physical and logical puzzles intertwined to engage the different player strengths in the group. The operator of the room was excellent, clearly outlining expectations for how hints would affect the playability of the room and the success rate. Our group was 6 adults (strangers) getting to know one another at a conference in Charlotte. We had a great time!

Kudos to Damien at Bear Town Escape! What fun! We had a great time with Deadly Die-agnosis. I was the only first-timer of my group. Everything was explained thoroughly, even the Covid regulations they were following. This was a great way to ease me into escape rooms. Just tough enough. So fun for our group. We can't wait to check out the other two experiences

Race City Escapes

We are Lake Norman's "Race City's" first "Escape Room Experience". Don't know what an "Escape Room is"? Let us explain. In a nutshell you, and up to 10 people are put in a room. Your task is to find clues, solve puzzles to ultimately figure out how to "Escape the Room". Inside you may find various types of locks, puzzle boxes, cryptograms, cryptic clues, and other brain teasers that all must be figured out so that you can escape in time. Time? Yes, that's right you only have 60 minutes to accomplish this. Oh, and don't worry you aren't "Locked" in the room. You can leave at any time for any reason. Just remember.... The clock keeps ticking!!
