We had a great time at Break Out Charleston! Our wild west themed room was unique compared to other previous escape rooms we had done which made for a fun challenge. Our host, Tyler, was obviously passionate about what he did. He provided appropriate guidance through the room when prompted and showed us the mechanics of the room after we had escaped. Would highly recommend this escape room to anyone looking for a fun activity in the Charleston area!

This was our last night of our "family vacation" and we decided to do an "escape room". We had so much fun with this one (8 of us) yelling and shouting instructions was hilarious. We did the jail break out room, and we will be returning to try the other two. It was my sister's first time doing one and she said "I never realized how much fun those could be" - otherwise known as "It was Great". Would highly recommend this escape room. Easy to get to and very entertaining.

I recently did my first escape room, not in Charleston, and even though I thought the theme might be boring, I had a blast. So I came home and immediately invited all my friends to do one in Charleston, which was serial killer themed (SO fun for me)! It was definitely a ton of fun, although quite difficult actually! We actually got out like a minute past the timer, but they were still nice enough to give it to us (or not let Chainsaw Chuck murder us, I guess). My main critique is that this one is SO code-heavy. Throughout the 3 rooms, you have to figure out and solve SO many different 4-5 digit codes. I actually preferred my 1776-themed one, which I didn't anticipate loving, just because there was such a variety of different puzzles and things we had to put together in order to escape. Don't get me wrong, this one was still a ton of fun, and the staff was absolutely great. Furthermore, I've heard that one of the other rooms here was amazing from one of the friends who came with me to the serial killer one. Just saying that a wider variety of clues and puzzles would make this even better. Thanks for a great evening!

We picked the Wild West themed escape room solely on time it was offered. First-time escape room people, we were unsure how to play, but found it quite fun and entertaining! Five of us on our group and that was a good number. Any more people and it could become claustrophobic.
Would definitely return and try a different theme to see if we could win again!

We had a group of four and really enjoyed the fun, challenging, yet entertaining activity. It was my first escape room experience and I really had a great time. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a group activity.

This is the second time, i have brought my teenager's friend group to this location. They all had a good time, laughing and trying to work together to solve the puzzles. The puzzles require some intense cognitive thinking (something teenagers have a hard time with) but they managed to make into the last room (with 5 or 6 clues).
The staff is wonderful, very helpful and want you to succeed in the escape.
I am considering bringing my work team here as a holiday team building event.

A group of about 10 of us from the ages of 13-40 somethings went to Break Out. We did the Wild Heist Game. It was awesome! It was tough, but FUN! I highly recommend to anyone and it's great for all ages! The staff was friendly, welcoming and explained the game very well (and will help during the game if needed). Overall a 10/10 experience!

Our family had a blast at Break Out, we did the Wild West Room and its was so fun. We actually were finally able to escape and make it out....with just seconds left on the clock. It was great for kids of age 9 to 14....the staff was very nice and helpful too. I would recommend checking them out for sure.

We took my daughter and 5 of her friends to celebrate her 15th Birthday. All the kids had a wonderful time trying to work the puzzles to escape the room. The staff was wonderful, giving us the clues and some extra time because we were so close in completing the activity when time ran out. I am thinking about taking my work team because it will be an excellent team building event.

Came here for a bachelorette and had a great time! We solved the Wild West Heist room pretty quickly (34 min), but there were 7 of us so I think that helped. The guide did a great job introducing the game. We didn't need any hints, so I can't comment on that, but I'm sure she would have done a great job!

You say fun for ALL ages. We have boys 8 and 10. Appropriate?

Yes but choose the prison break one or wait for their new western bank heist as the more family friendly options. The serial killer is their hainted house type breakout.

Which room would be best for a wheelchair elderly?
Written March 24, 2017
How large is the room? A little claustrophobic...
Written August 3, 2016
Around 12 by 12 - just make sure to schedule a time when the room is not full.

Would our 5, 8 & 9 yr old be able to contribute much to the escape or would it be too over their heads? Thanks for any advice.
Written April 5, 2016
I would think the 8 and 9 year old could contribute to the puzzles, but the 5 year old may have difficulty contributing...however the 5 year old could look for clues under items in the room or enter in the lock combinations. All the rooms we've done have multiple locks and maybe that could be a task for the younger kids to do while someone older reads out what they think the combination should be.
