    Ransom Experience
    Great escape experience! Our group of 6 played the Ransom experience. Cleverly done and we were about to get out with 9 minutes remaining. The place was so kind and patient with our group with starting late . A great and different way to experience group camaraderie!
    Hi Janice! We are so glad you had a great escape experience and you escaped Ransom. It was a pleasure guiding your room. You guys were a blast. Come back and see us again!

    Great, Spooky time!
    We had such a blast at Escape in 60! We chose one of the hardest rooms they had (9/10 difficulty) and made it out with 55 seconds to spare. They have great customer service and in a great location. We'd definitely go back again.
    Yes, you made it! I heard y'all made it to our weekly bests. Congrats. :) Thank you for the wonderful five star review. Yes, please do come see us again! Warm Regards, Autumn

    Fun break on a rainy day!
    My daughter and I had a blast. The puzzles were just tricky enough to have us thinking but not too hard that we weren’t able to solve the game and escape our room. I would recommend Escape in 60 to anyone visiting Charleston looking for something different to do to get out of the rain or heat.

    Escape for fun!!
    Davy Jones Locker was so much fun and a great first escape room. There were only two of us, so we didn’t finish but it was a great activity. The staff at this location are so friendly and very helpful! You should definitely check it out if you are on vacation or a local enjoying your community!!
    Hi! I am so glad to hear y'all had a fun time especially because it was your first escape room. Thank you for the compliments about the staff and the recommendation! Come back soon. Warm Regards, Autumn

    A great team building experience
    Overall we had a great time at Escape in 60! We chose the easiest one due to a couple of nervous colleagues, but it was fun and great for all ages! The only thing that didn't make it perfect was that there were a couple of things that didn't work and the game guide had to come in and fix it in the middle of the game.
    Hi There! We are so glad to hear, you had a great time with us. I definitely remember your group and we had a blast. Come back and see us soon. Warm Regards, Autumn

    Hey There Mariah! I am so glad to hear your vacation ended with a bang! Thank you for the five star review and the compliments about our staff. Ransom made an impression with her surprises yet again. :) Warm Regards, Autumn

    Perfectly balanced challenge
    It was so much fun! It was my brother and i's first time in an escape room, and we didn't feel overwhelmed at all. We may not have escaped, but the puzzles were fair enough that we still had fun the whole way. I of course won't spoil any of the puzzles, but I would highly recommend the Davy jones experience. If you are feeling stumped, squishing the foam bread loaf help me to focus! Highly recommended for a jolly good time!
    So glad to hear it was a perfectly balanced challenge for you and your brother! Yes, the foam bread is the perfect stress reliever. :) Thank you for the detailed, five star review and for coming out to Escape in 60.

    Outstanding!
    It was a lot of fun, thank goodness we brought our 12 yr old or we would have never figured it out! The staff there were absolutely amazing, super friendly, super helpful, and lots of fun. I would highly recommend this place for your next escape room adventure.
    Hi Again Jeremy! Thank you for leaving us reviews on Google and TripAdvisor. I appreciate you taking the time to put us on blast. I am so glad to hear y'all had fun and your 12 yr old nailed it. My staff is pretty amazing and I am glad they took care of you and your family. Come back and see us soon. Warm Regards, Autumn

If you’re looking for an exciting break from Charleston’s usual tourist attractions, Escape in 60 is the perfect choice! We opted for the Pirate Adventure room, and it was an absolute blast from start to finish.

The space was impressively clean – cleaner than most other escape rooms we’ve experienced – and the attention to detail in the room’s design added to the immersive experience. The keypads scattered throughout the room were a unique twist that kept us on our toes.

The puzzles were brilliantly designed – equal parts challenging and fun, making every success feel like a true victory. Our hearts were racing as the clock ticked down.

We had such a great time that we wished we lived in Charleston so we could try all the other rooms. This was easily one of the highlights of our trip. Don’t miss this heart-pounding, brain-teasing, fun-filled experience! Highly recommend!

I played the Witch's room and loved it! My GM, Kayla, was awesome. She gave me support when I needed it, but also allowed me to figure things out on my own. (Kayla, you rock!)

The room had a great ambience, fun puzzles, a lot of interactive hands on puzzles. It was difficult, but the website tells you that... so if you go in thinking it will be a complete breeze... it will be tough.

Reccomendations.... when you are solving a clue be quiet and observant, the opening of cabinets and drawers are sometimes a little difficult to hear and you need to keep looking around to see whether something has opened. If you are in a big group tell everyone to hush and look around.

The room is dark so be resourceful when you need some extra light.

There is math (but it is pretty basic). Use the chalkboard wisely!

The puzzles are logical and fun. I struggled at times but left feeling excited and energized.
Thanks Kayla!

By far, one of the most coolest mom + son + son dates. From the moment you walk into the building, there are multiple mini-games already awaiting you to figure out. These mini-games can get you extra clues in the rooms. Davy Jone's Locker was considered to be the "easiest" room (6/10) but my boys and I still took almost 54 minutes to complete. There were multiple tasks to this room and each game led into the next game, so before moving on, you had to complete each task to get the next clue. My boys and I talked about the room the entire way back home and how we can't wait to do another one!
The employees there were so enthusiastic and helpful. It was a joy to be there!

My girlfriend and I were visiting Charleston and after booking one to check the quality ended up playing ALL FOUR of the rooms here in two days. They were good to great rooms with a home made touch but a very intentional and corporate caliber. The two of us were able to beat all rooms with over 10 minutes remaining, but we have played quite a few rooms (she has played 20+ before these, and me around 60). Ransom was probably our favorite, but definitely try their Prison Escape before they change it out! It is full of fun Clues!

We had a great time, but got stuck on one of the clues. After our 60 minutes were up, the staff member explained the answer to the puzzle and said they were still tweaking to improve. The only other issue was that the room was small and it was hard for the four of us to see/work on clues at the same time. But it was very entertaining and we may go back to try another room while we are in Charleston.

The location was great and the staff was friendly. The instructions were clear and short. The escape room was challenging but with a relatively large party who had done escape rooms before we moved through it well. No hiccups or instructions from the control room because something hasn't been reset properly. All in all a fun escape room experience.

Shut down for two weeks for construction, but made no mention off this on their booking website. When I entered the date I wanted to go(with relatives in town), it automatically took me to a Wednesday two weeks in the future with no notice. After showing up for the experience, we were told they were closed and would reopen in two weeks. Obviously, our company was gone by then and I'm out $140. Such a poor job of communication on their part, and to allow folks to book on a date that was unavailable is uncalled for. Lesson learned.

We decided to try out the Roulette Escape, which was their newest room. Hannah, our hostess, was very friendly and did a wonderful job explaining the challenges of the room. The 6/10 difficulty rating was definitely accurate, although we were a party of 2 so it was obviously tougher for us 😅! In terms of challenge design, it's pretty linear, but each challenge is unique and creative. This is the 16th or 17th escape room I've done, but I definitely see why it's the top rated escape room company in Charleston! I'll have to swing by again next time I'm on this side of the Mississippi.

The staff is very easy to work with. Originally I had booked a time at 12, but had to move it to a later time slot in the day. Upon arrival we learned that a piece in the room was broken, and would take 15 mins to fix. We were offered to either wait, do another room or reschedule for a different day. All perfectly reasonable options. We decided to wait and was glad we did. The Davey Jones locker room was super fun and challenging without being overly hard for the two of us (myself and child 9) and we escaped with 35 seconds left!

The staff did a great job of communicating updates to us every 5 mins or so, and even gave my daughter some free swag once we completed the room. The rooms were cleaned in between groups and Escape in 60 has done a great job of adjusting their business model (all bookings are private groups now) to account for Covid restrictions.

Overall it was a great experience and we'll certainly do more escape rooms, but the customer service I received is why I'll go back and spend my money with this business.

We took so many photos. Kidding. But great place! The staff were very kind, and the puzzle was actually really challenging. I loved the design of the room, and how many secrets they could fit into a single studio apartment. Hahahahaha. But, bring a drink if you’re going in there. It does get kinda hot.
