Quest For The Temple of LightThe Keepers of BalanceEscape roomIRLThis is an immersive experience unlike any other. The set and atmosphere are amazing. It feels like you are inside a movie. Make sure to look up, as this place is incredibly tall. There’s no other escape room experience that compares to it. The rooms just keep going and going. There are a lot of cool elements and tech. As enthusiasts, we didn’t find the rooms very difficult and breezed through the puzzles but it was fun. It is not as physically demanding as the website makes it sound but you will need to be able to crawl and climb steps, but this is done minimally.
WreckedMasterpiece EscapesEscape roomIRLThe theme of this room and atmosphere is so well done. It’s clear that they have put A LOT of thought into their storyline and everything is very intentional. There were lots of puzzles in here that we haven’t seen in other rooms. It is more creepy than scary. There are multiple tasks that can happen simultaneously and we found 4 to be the perfect number to do this room.
Down The Rabbit HoleThe Final DoorEscape roomIRLThis is a pretty physical room. I do not suggest it for anyone with mobility issues. There is also an element that has a weight limit of 180, so certain parts may not be accessible to all body types. This has a fun trippy vibe and has a few puzzles I’ve never seen before. Lots of puzzles take team work and we really enjoyed that. 4 people felt like the perfect number. The room feels pretty dingy and not super well taken care of at times.

Tomb RaidersLock, Clock, and Peril Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLThis is a great room. It’s my second favorite at this location behind Teleporter Trials. It’s very immersive and challenging. Our experienced group of 3 made it out with seconds to spare. I would skip this room if you have mobility issues. Stairs and crawling is required.
Hidden Needle Tattoo ParlorThe Exit Games - Princess St.Escape roomIRLThis is a fun room with a unique theme. We enjoyed the different types of puzzles and clues. It is not always obvious which clue goes with which lock and there are some red herrings but that makes the room harder. It was a fun, collaborative room. It’s clear that the owner and staff love what they do. I also really enjoy the small trinkets that this escape room sometimes gives you as a reward for completing the room.

Under PressureKey to EscapeEscape roomIRLRoger. Roger. Roger. The owner Roger, is a treasure of a man. We had a great time chatting with him about his room and the history of Statesville. Beyond being one of the coolest buildings I’ve ever played an escape room in (and old church, what?!) the room is so well thought out and ties in the history of the town. Every element of the room is intentional to bring you into the world of that room, including how you get your hints. We had the best time here and did not want to leave. If you are triggered by heat, you may struggle with one of the rooms. If you get overwhelmed by music or a soundtrack playing, you may also struggle. If you love a good dance break, we found ourselves dancing multiple times in the room. You need to be able to climb stairs to enter the room. Once in the room, at least one player will need to be able to climb narrow stairs.
