“What a great experience with Ken tonight. My family and I went for the Back In Time room, and we all felt it really delivered what was needed to complete the room. Each challenge was well thought out, and a few required more than one person interacting together. The staff is really passionate about their job; it’s clear they want you to have fun!”

“We were guests this past Saturday and took the Train to Nowhere. Two of us had experienced escape rooms elsewhere, two of us were new. It was such a wonderfully and unexpectedly entertaining experience! We appreciated the eye for detail for the period, the puzzles were challenging, and the décor made us feel like we were in a Victorian parlor car train.”

— Julie

“We surprised my 12-year-old son for his birthday and our family of 5 (mom, dad, and brothers 10, 7). The rooms were so cool and on-theme and the clues were hard but just enough to keep it interesting and moving along! I highly recommend this experience for your family or a group of friends young or old.”

“I went here with my family, and we had a blast! This place was better than any other escape room we’ve tried. Our host was both funny and attentive.”

— Nichole

“Our group had a great time escaping Alice’s Dream. Our wonderful host made the experience fun and understandable for our young elementary-aged kids. I wasn’t sure if the 5-year-olds would be too young, but it turned out great since there were several tasks that they helped with.”

“The best thing about this escape place is the staff. They were so lively and fun from the second we walked in the door to the minute we left. Their games are visually pleasing and super entertaining to solve.”

“My daughter celebrated her 13th birthday at Waxhaw Escape with friends and had an amazing time. They found the puzzles fun yet challenging. Having been to other escape room experiences before, the other girls all said that Waxhaw Escape was so much better than their previous events. We will be back!!”
