Escape Kings

Hands down one of the best fun filled no fuss birthday parties we've ever thrown for our kids. From the moment we pulled up the staff and owner were outside helping us bring in food and get kids in the video game room. The setup is a gamers dream. From high end gaming chairs, a selection of Xbox, PlayStation and PC gaming devices to individual monitors, headsets and games projected on the walls, my kids and their friend had an amazing 2 1/2 hours of gaming fun. Our host (Mr. Reilly) was so knowledgeable and so patient. He stayed in the room helping get everyone setup accordingly and even shared some tips and tricks. The cherry on top of the day was the owner and his hospitable spirit that started from the time we arrived. He even put the NCAA tournament on the big screen so we parents could relax and check our brackets :). If you have a gamer in the family and want to do something fun, we highly recommend getting a dozen or so of their friends together for a battle royale at Escape Kings!!!

We came to Escape Kings for a friend's birthday and we all had a great time! We have done a few escape rooms before so we understood the concept and worked well as a team. We booked the only room that was available and just our luck, it was the most difficult room (besides Aztec Ruins, which is difficult because you have the chance to win an Xbox). We did the Ghost Hunters room where you are set in a scene where you are trying to set a ghost's spirit free. Definitely spooky! You are allowed three clues, so use them wisely! This experience was different for us because there were a lot of locks but not all had to be opened, so pay attention to the story line. The location is conveniently located near Carowinds so if you are out of town and need some other activities to do besides the amusement park, this is a great option! The staff here is SO friendly. You can tell that they are all so smart and love what they do. The game maker even added personal touches to really make the birthday boy special.

We were signed up for the ghost hunters room, but were not sure what to expect as this was our first time doing an escape room. Escape Kings did an excellent job building suspense prior to going into the room and throughout the game. There is a wide variety of clues which allowed all of us to contribute in our own way. They will help you if you get stuck, but not to the point where they give you the answer, which we really appreciated. We had so much fun figuring everything out! I suggest going with friends you know will work well together, as it is tough - we finished with just 29 seconds to spare. If you like puzzles, and want a well planned, truly interactive, and fun experience you should try Escape Kings! We definitely will be back to try the other rooms

We had a great time exercising our brains in the Aztec Room at Escape Kings! The staff really make this spot great. We were greeted warmly by one of the owners, Nathan. He joked around with us and dropped some hints about the room. We were then handed off to our "tour guide" (I hate I can't remember her name, because she was also great) and escorted to our room. I'm happy to report we escaped with a couple minutes to spare! All of the clues and puzzles were fun and interactive. I liked the fact that there were multiple ways to beat the game -- kept us on our toes and from obsessing over any one clue too long if we got stuck. We're looking forward to checking out some of their other rooms soon!

We've been to Escape Kings twice now and both times have been great. I love the escape/puzzle rooms in general, and Escape Kings does not disappoint. We played the Aztec and Haunted Hospital rooms, which were a lot of fun. The business is family run, so they spend a lot of time with you to make sure you have a good experience. (They also have a great variety of chocolate candy to choose from in the lobby.)One of the nicest benefits is that you can spend $10 extra a person to reserve the entire room, which matters to me because I don't love working with strangers. At other places it is way more expensive to have a dedicated room.Can't wait to try out the zombie room!

We had so much fun at Escape Kings. My husband and I took on the biohazard room with another couple that we are friends with. What I really liked about this room is that the puzzles were challenging and thought provoking. We weren't just looking for one key or combination after the other. The other key part of this experience was the staff. They are truly top notch! They're very welcoming and entertaining and you can tell it's important to them that everyone enjoys their visit. There is another room that is geared toward younger visitors but we're also considering going back and trying it! No matter which room you choose you won't be sorry!

When my cousin first told me about this place. I was worried. I have no idea what I was getting myself into. But hey, as long as I'm doing this with my family. I figure why not. The object of the game. Your team will be lock in a designated room. Whichever room you picked. You need to find clues within that room to unlock other clues within a given time.. For us, we need to find a cure to save mankind and to find the code to get ourselves out that room under one hour! We manage to get out with 4.07 mins to spare.. I must admit.. A couple of times we have no idea what to do next with our clues.. We're stomp. Luckily we get some help here and there!! The room is equipped with camera to monitor us.. Which is pretty awesome.. The owner husband day job is at Microsoft and he used to be a legit hacker. So this is pretty fun for him to see how people hack thru things instead trying to solve the problems. And he's a pretty cool dude. Funny at that. We learn how to do the "turkey leg" dance.. They are definitely expanding. We get to see a couple more "coming soon" rooms! And I'm looking forward to trying those out. These type of games definitely get us all laughing and have us working together. And now I know I won't survive the zombie apocalypse. But with my cousins help maybe I will!

Had the best time with my kids at Escape Kings!!! We did the Outbreak room. It was really challenging but fun at the same time. We made it out but just in time!

We went to Escape Kings in January 2019 to celebrate my nephews 13th birthday party. The staff was so helpful and nice to make sure that he had a wonderful experience that he will never forget. We challenged Santa in Santa's Workshop and we had an amazing time. We were even able to escape the room with a little time to spare. I would recommend Escape Kings to anyone looking for a good challenge and a great evening out with family or friends,

Great summer fun in Charlotte! We did the Aztec room - very creative. We brought two adults and two 13 year olds....they loved it!! The team who works there is great too! We will be back!!
