Oops! You’ve just woken up to find yourself and your roommates passed out by the campus fountain. Man, things must have gotten wild last night after the Es Ka Pi Fraternity party. Meanwhile, chaos reigns in your dorm: snack bags everywhere, drinks spilled, dirty clothes scattered, and… is that a horse mask?! Before you can make sense of it, your phone buzzes—a reminder from your RA that Parents Weekend is today, and your folks will be here in an hour! With the dorm's strict “No Mess” policy and expulsion on the line, you’ve got 60 minutes to cover your tracks, hide the chaos, and make it look like last night never happened...

Loved this so much! It was extremely fun having to figure everything out and work as a team to get everything done in time! Our game master Isabelle was fantastic and will definitely be trying to have her as our game master in the future! The entire set up of the rooms was also amazing and felt very immersive. Overall everything was absolutely amazing and top tier!

Gameplay

The game play was super fun with multiple rooms and so many different puzzles to crack it was so much fun

Atmosphere

It honestly looked like we were on a college campus in a dorm room and all the sounds and lights and everything we had to do was very immersive and awesome!

Customer service

Our gm was amazing! We had Isabelle and she was a super convincing RA but also super helpful when I came to use needing hints and she was just overall very kind and an amazing game master!

Parking

Easy

There is a parking deck not to far from the escape rooms but there is also street parking, we just found it easier to park in the deck and walk to the exit games building.

The Exit Games always knocks it out of the park! Having originally done their Florida location with their 90 minutes escape rooms, we were excited to try their NC 60 minute rooms. It did not disappoint! We escaped with a little over 10 minutes left. All of the puzzles were fun without feeling like just a standard key or code. The theming was really fun and consistent throughout the entire experience. Definitely worth making a trip for!

I really enjoyed this room! It was super fun and the set design was awesome. One of the best I’ve done in 2025. Really excited for what this company does next!

Gameplay

This was a really fun game! I’ve been really excited to play it ever since it was released and it did not disappoint! The puzzles flowed well and there wasn’t a dull moment in the game.

Atmosphere

It really did look like a couple of college students that had a little too much fun the other night lol

Customer service

Izzy was amazing! As a person that has worked in the escape room industry for 8 years, she was one of the best!

Particularly interesting or different

Yes

Story

The story was really well done! I was completely immersed, and the puzzles reflected the story which is always super fun to see.

Difficulty

Medium

It did say it was a 9/10 difficulty on the website. My husband and I usually play escape rooms alone but brought two friends along for the ride on this one so having more people and being experienced could have made it feel medium to us. Both me and my husband thought the puzzles were challenging but not so challenging that it was impossible to solve on our own without help. We were able to complete the room with zero help

Game tech

High tech

It was a little bit of both. There were just a couple physical locks but a lot of it was maglocks and keypads!

Ideal number of players

2 could do this room, we had 4 for this adventure and we were all able to do puzzles but 2 people would be able to do this room as well.

This is family friendly! There is one part of the game that does eludes to “college students”drinking but that was it.

There is a little live interaction with the game master before the game and mid way through the game but that was all.

This was a fun theme that we haven’t seen before. It was a good mix of independent and collaborative puzzles.

Man, was this room great! Exit Games has been on a roll with every game since White Rabbit with Hidden Needle, No Vacancy and this all as must-dos when you are in the area. Don’t be deceived by the name. You might think this is going to be your typical college dorm room game but it’s so much more! No spoilers, but trust me when I say the set is brilliant and a multi-room experience where there’s a lot of brilliant rooms even before you get to your dorm! Like many of their other rooms, they have a live actor to introduce you to the room and he was perfect in the role! Throw in some classic 80’s college movie nods and this is an experience you should not miss!
