Temporarily Closed - November of 3049, Valcarol’s people land on earth and plan exploratory missions. Will there be clean air and water on earth? Will there be people there to help them fix their ship’s hydro system? Will it be safe outside of Valcarol? One of our explorers has met a survivor on earth. This survivor gives us the secret location of their water filtration station. It is protected in a cave system that was used as a fallout shelter back when the bombs rained down. This cave system has the special element that makes radiated water clean and safe again. The survivor is to remain anonymous and will not accompany us. We are going to the caves at our own risk. Volunteers for this mission must enter the caves while security is off the premises and make it through any protective measures. Find the elements that purify the water, including the special element that is mined from the cave. Once all of the elements are found, bring them to the water filtration system and get it working. Security will be gone for only an hour, so be quick! This is an important mission because clean water is needed by the dehydrated people of Valcarol and our hydro systems engineer will need to recreate the cave’s water filtration system that can put Valcarol and her people back into space.

At the time of this writing, this company unfortunately closed last month. This was an interesting room. Although there was an overarching storyline, each room had it’s own flavor and setting. This one was in a cave, but using an aqueduct! The puzzles were a little harder here, but still worked. Sorry to see this company go.

I do not agree with this being one of the best in the area. It was OK, but definitely nothing spectacular. I feel like it’s a great room for newbies but overall not challenging. It wasn’t the worst room I’ve done but definitely not the best. Just OK overall

This room is OK, but I'm quite surprised that it was nominated for "most immersive." I think that one reason this room gets so much hype is because it's best when compared to others in the Charlotte area. The experience was a bit short, and the puzzles were underwhelming. Our GM was nice and attentive though, and the puzzles were logical (just nothing we haven't seen before).

This was a cool room! Really fun if you’re into the post-apocalyptic theme. Puzzles were immersive, unique- but somewhat challenging for sure. Highly recommend checking it out- difficult for less than 3 or 4 people.

LOVE the decor in the first room! Super creative puzzles. Very high tech but not in the way I’m used to. Friendly game master. Would recommend

I LOVED this room! It has by far been the best room I’ve done in Charlotte so far! From the beginning it is super immersive and the amount of detail that goes into the room, storyline and puzzle is on point. The tech is next level, and the staff and owner was just awesome! Jody, the owner took time to chat with us later and he was super welcoming and really cool to talk to. The game isn’t linear, and I liked that we could all work on different puzzle simultaneously. Communication is key so work together! I know that I’ve already done this escape room, but honestly I kind of want to go back and do it again! I highly recommend!
The game flowed really well! It’s non linear, so you can do multiple puzzles at one time. Once a puzzle is done, it’s done so you can move onto the next one. Communication is key!
The props and design were outstanding! There was a lot of hard work put into these rooms so please treat them with respect! The first room especially was impressive as particular props were all casted and handmade one by one, a ton of work! It’s just insane!
Jody the owner had time to chat with us after the game and he was very cool to talk to. He showed us the 3rd room he’s working on that ties in with the storyline as a whole and we were really excited about that. We liked him and his staff so much we came back and did the lab room a few weeks later! You can tell how much they really love their job and the amount of passion they have for it. I hope they keep building and expanding because I just want to keep coming back and playing more!

The storyline was awesome! An alien planet where you need to find a clean water source to save the world! The tech in this room honestly was on another level. It wasn’t just like simple turn locks, there were multiple key pads, push mechanisms, sensors, a lot of different stuff.
I loved the story. It flowed really well and was interesting. It wasn’t cheesy. If you’re into sci-fi this is for you!

If you’re experienced at doing rooms, you’ll be able to manage okay. I’d say we are pretty good at them, we only had to ask for one clue but the puzzles were challenging yet fun. We had a great time!

Nothing was broken! Everything is really well maintained and I hope it stays that way and patrons will continue to treat the rooms with respect. There’s a lot of care that goes into them and I’d hate for any of their hard work to be mistreated.

The cave itself is dim, so if you have visual problems maybe not the best choice for you. There are parts where you need to hear properly but if your teammates stay quiet it shouldn’t be a problem.

Super easy location to find and parking was not an issue.

This room was incredibly immersive! From the moment you walk up it felt like you were walking into a universal studios attraction! They clearly took their time and was well thought out. Puzzles are electronic and have a well thought out design. Definitely should make this room a stop on your list!
The game play is non-linear, but some of the clues in 1 room do flow into the to the others
Set design is spectacular, took him a ton of time! You can tell he is proud of his work. The props were unbelievably impressive and with detail. The award for immersive was well deserved
Jody was fantastic, told us a bit more about the rooms and about an upcoming room.

You’ve got to try this room. From the moment we walked in the lobby, you could tell this room was going to be truly immersive. It was like walking into a set at Universal Studios. The room itself was non-linear, which was great because we never felt bottlenecked. The technology was fantastic, and the clues involved all of the senses. Don’t look for any boring locks and keys in this room — it’s so much more creative than that. The decoration of the room was next level, too. The room was floor-to-ceiling on theme.

Highly recommend! Very immersive and creative. The room isn’t linear either so everyone can take part in figuring out a clue to move forward. Communication is key!
