    A great escape room run by friendly staff
    The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, and the puzzle room we did (The Gallery) was challenging but not dispiriting. We did this as a family activity with our mother who has some slight mobility issues, and she was able to participate well as the game is in one self-contained room. The game was informative and interesting as well!

    Creative Out of the Box Room
    Great time at all the Nerd Escape Rooms. Best rooms in Raleigh! We tried a few rooms and all were exceptional. More creative and unique then your typical find a key and put it in a lock type escape rooms. The staff were all amazing! Totally made our weekend escape to Raleigh an unforgettable one.

    Lots of fun
    We did the Prison Break room. We got out of the first two of the three rooms but were stumped at the end. The woman watching us on camera gave us 10 extra minutes because she said we were so close to getting out. Unfortunately no. We had the right numbers to use on a lock, but the person working the lock put the numbers in reverse order! Pay attention to details. We all enjoyed the experience very much.

    Sink your teeth into an immersive escape room adventure at Nerd Escapes' Dracula room!
    The haunting set design and clever puzzles will keep you on the edge of your seat. This escape room is perfect for beginners, offering a great introduction to the genre with a collaborative atmosphere. You might need a few hints to vanquish Dracula, so we sure to take advantage of your game master’s help. Due to the linear puzzle flow, I would recommend 2-4 players for this one. For experienced players like us, the number of puzzles may feel on the lower side. Our game master Caroline provided helpful guidance throughout the experience.

Three of us did The Gallery Room and it did not disappoint. I have done a lot of escape rooms and there were puzzles in this one I have never seen before.
The staff were really helpful, and provided hints whenever needed. We also did run out of time but they let us finish the game with an extra 5 minutes so we could see how it all played out.
The only thing I am disappointed about is that I am not from the area so I won’t get to do the other rooms! Highly recommend this place if you are in Raleigh and get the chance!

New escape room but run by experienced team at 5280 next door.

We did two rooms. Both were well themed and completely different. The puzzles are intricate and well thought out. While you encounter some locks, this is not simply finding numbers and decoding locks. They find countless fun and unique ways to reveal clues.

Loads of fun with a fun and friendly staff. Highly recommend.
