Wake Forest Escape Room — Attraction in Wake Forest

Would highly recommend.

A few months ago myself and a few friends went to another area "escape room" and were thoroughly let down. That made us both hesitant to spend the money on another one, but also eager to redeem the experience. That led us to try Wake Escape, and we had a completely different experience.

We did the Egyptian-themed room, and it was filled with puzzles, codes and activities. We stayed fully engaged for the entirety of the hour (and the extra 15 minutes it took us to finish!). One concern we had going in was that everyone in our group would not feel as helpful, but all four members were crucial to solving the room. There was enough to do that even larger groups would be fully engaged for much of the time.

The production quality was exceptional, from the consistent theme to the design of the room. Although there were times we slowed as we tried to solve the next step, it was never due to poor design. At no point did we find an inconsistency. And at one point when we were stumped, we were able to "cash in a clue" and call on the radio to the helpful staff who helped us move along.

The experience was well worth the cost, and made everyone in our group excited to return and try out another room. We talked about our experience for hours after, reliving the solutions we found and the unexpected twists. Would highly recommend to anyone, even those who may not be completely excited at the idea.

**For something unique to our group, we brought our 8-month old with us in a carrier, and he was totally fine. The staff offered to lower the soundtrack for rooms that had them when we called ahead of time and were very accommodating in letting us know how to exit the room if we needed to during the experience (which my wife did at one point to change a diaper). It made going much more accessible to us as we did not have to...

The puzzles were challenging and we had an ok time. The room was uncomfortably hot. We felt like we were doing puzzles in a sauna. I was diappointed in tornado alley because nothing had anything to do with tornados. We started out in a library that led to a casino. To be honest I am not even sure we were in the right rooms. I thought there would at least be a soundtrack with wind sounds or something. We were told at the beginning that a video would play but it never came on. After we left we received an email saying our picture would be sent sortly. I looked on the website and saw different people with a tornado backdrop. We were never given the option to take a picture. I would find another escape room if i were going to...

We Escaped! I did a birthday party here for my 12 yr old and 5 of his friends on Saturday and it was awesome! The puzzles were great, the room was well organized and clean, and we made pretty continuous progress on the Exit Protocol adventure. Our host was excellent, and even took pictures for us afterwards that were emailed to me.

My husband and I have done three prior escape rooms, and compared to those, we felt like our progress with this one was more steady, and the room was less worn (some that we have done, the locks and doors are all worn out so that there's no real surprise as to what happens next).

Highly recommended; we will be going back to this one and doing...
