Boasting 12 uniquely-themed experiences across 2 locations (North and South) in Charlotte.

Escape requires keen problem-solving skills and collaboration, perfect for groups of two to ten people (depending on the room). Each uncovered clue places teams one step closer to achieving their ultimate goal: unlocking the door and escaping the room before the clock strikes zero. Success may earn the group a place on Exit Strategy's wall of fame, although failure may inspire a repeat visit to try again.
