Ready to flip your weekday routine on its head? Grab your squad and step into an outrageous real-life video game right in the heart of Charlotte, where things get wild, fast.

This isn’t your typical escape room. You and your team will suit up and charge through five high-tech rooms packed with brain-busting puzzles, laser-dodging action, and time-sensitive challenges. You’ll need sharp minds, quick moves, and solid teamwork to crack codes and beat the clock—because if you don’t? You’re getting blasted with a massive paint bomb.

But the fun doesn’t stop there. This weekday VIP package hooks you up with exclusive lounge access and post-mission perks like arcade-style gameplay, drinks, and snacks from the Bomb Bar. It’s the ultimate way to inject fun into your week and make memories with your crew.

Unused Experience Vouchers can be returned within 15 days for a full refund to the original purchaser, no questions asked.

If you have any unused Experience Vouchers, you can exchange them for anything else in our marketplace, no matter when. If you choose an experience that's more expensive, you'll need to pay the difference, but if you choose one that costs less, you'll receive a credit towards your next booking.

No refunds are allowed once the experience is booked, but you can reschedule up to 24 hours before your experience, for a date within a year of the original booking. To reschedule, contact the experience provider directly. No-shows or rescheduling less than 24 hours in advance means losing the value of your experience.
