    Team Build
    Took my sales team to Timed Out for a team build - did the Illusions room, and all had a great time. It was the perfect room for needing a team to work together to solve. Nicole was great to chime in if she saw them really getting off course, as well as provide slight clues when asked. Would return again to try another room.
    Thank you so much for an awesome review. We are glad your team enjoyed your team building event in our Illusion room. It is amazing to hear Nicole was great. We can't wait to see you for another room soon. - Tina

    Great fun!!
    This was my first time here and my second escape room. The location was clean and well managed. The game master Max was great!! We did the Precinct room and it was fun, the puzzles were inventive. I would definitely go back to try the rest of the rooms!
    Anne - Thank you for your review. We are so glad to hear that you had a great time in Precinct and Max enhanced your experience. We hope to see you soon for another room. - Tina

    Illusion experience
    We had an awesome time at times out. Nicole is so fun so do an escape room with. She let us call her God over the intercom. She allowed us to fail (which we wanted minimal cues) while providing the right amount of cues. If u like to be challenged with just the right amount of help, she will know what you want
    Thank you for your fantastic review. We are so glad you had a great time at Timed Out and Nicole was so fun. We hope to see you soon for another room. - Tina

    Great escape room experience!!
    This was our second time to this Escape Room, and we had a blast!! (No pun intended) The puzzles were challenging yet doable, and quite creative. Julieanne was a great game master - she gave some hints at just the right times.
    Ellen - Thank you for your awesome review! We are glad to hear you had a great time in our Precinct room. It is fantastic to hear that Julianne was a great game master for you! Come see us for another room soon! - Tina

Loved the Noel room! The challenges are completely different from last year's Noel room, and it was a lot of fun! Great (safe) way to get out with your family and get into the holiday spirit! Every room is private, so it will just be you and your group. The puzzles are fun. We have done all of the rooms at Timed Out and highly recommend visiting whether you are new to Escape rooms or a veteran!

Working as a team to solve all the puzzles. Hayley R was our game master. She did an excellent time of giving us clues for the Illusion mystery room without giving the answers and was very friendly and courteous. I live in Ohio; if I lived in NC, I would want to do the other rooms and have her as the game master. The owners, who created the room, were very creative and made the challenge so much fun to do. I applaud their ability to create such a great escape room!

My husband and I did precinct for a date night. We knew this room would be hard especially with two people but the room did not disappoint. Our game master, Carlos, was awesome. He was extremely informative about the game and when we didn't escape, he walked us through the rest of the room. He told us that the room had an 14% escape rate and that we still did great.

Precinct was my 12th escape room, but definitely the best one I have ever done. Most other rooms just have you look for clues to solve endless number locks, where as this room really makes you think. There is an amazing mix of brain teasers, along with number codes, and clues that really make you rack your brain. I can't truly express how good this game was and the technology that comes with it can't be beat.

Carlos told us Depth is the hardest room and we will be back to try that one out, even if it means we don't escape again. Give this escape room a go and you won't be disappointed!

I took my daughter and 2 of her friends to timed out escape for her 15th birthday. We were originally scheduled to go on Thursday but they were expecting an ice storm where I lived (a little over an hour away) so I called and they had absolutely no problem switching us to Monday. When we got there the staff was so sweet and helpful. This was our first escape room and my daughter chose the hardest room, the precinct. We didn't make it out but we had a whole lot of fun trying. I would recommend them to anyone.

The owners/designers/creators of these rooms have blended together a wide variety of mind bending puzzles to create a wonderful experience.
Riley monitored our progress. He only assisted when asked. He doesn’t tell you the answer, more nudges you to focus on a specific clues to work the puzzle yourself.
Rooms worked perfectly. Everything was well designed, theme carried throughout all rooms.
Great fun had by our entire group.

We had guests visiting from CT and all of us were experiencing an escape room for the first time. We chose the "Illusion" room and had a great time figuring out the clues which Chris offered at just the right time whenever we felt stuck. I would definitely recommend this place for a fun activity with family/friends or for team building...we plan to visit again soon!

This was a first for the four of us. Our host, Bennett, was terrific with explaining the set-up, and helping us (from afar) when we were stumped. We did the Illusion Room, which was creatively set up for us to solve a mystery. We had lots of laughs and challenges, but solved the mystery in the nick of time! Can’t wait to go again!

Timed Out Escape is a top of the line escape room experience that is family owned and operated who are amazing people. Our terrific 'gamemaster' Victoria gave the perfect level of help while still making things challenging for our team. Overall, after experiencing a few escape rooms these last several years this is the most professional and high quality one our family has done! Highly recommend

Great time to get out of the ordinary day to day grind. My wife and I love escape rooms and this was our first one since COVID started and Timed Out didn't disappoint. We did the West room and it was fun! Our game master Rhiannon was excellent, she kept us moving without over sharing. She took the time up front to be sure we were aware and comfortable with the rules. The venue is really good too and there's a lot of good eating around it for before or after the game. We'll certainly be back!
