Charlotte's most reviewed route is the Death in the Shadows murder mystery, and it is the safe first pick for any team: it starts at the Charlotte Convention Center and takes 90 minutes over 2.1 km. It is also the one for a competitive team. A big group can split at the convention center, where The Oz Escape starts a short walk from the murder mystery, and meet again when both games are done. Teams that want another case can play the Secret Society detective mystery. For an event after work, Ghost Hunt in Charlotte is the evening route.

fun but takes a long walk/drive to solve
Awesome adventures. The kids loved it! and so did we.

My partner and I needed an activity to get out of the house. It’s a cute date idea and we had fun! :)
even though it started raining we had a blast!! definitely will do again!!
I enjoyed the fun facts and the riddles to solve. the location was also great!
6 phones is the smallest team booking, and you pay per phone, not per person. The first five phones cost the same as the route's 5-phone pass, and each phone after that costs half the single price, so the price per phone drops as the team grows. The booking box on this page shows the total in your currency.
6 to 40 phones fit in one payment, and a team of 3 or 4 can share one phone, so a group larger than 40 people can still play. Everyone on their own phone works best. For more than 40 phones, or several routes at once, send the quote form and a person from our team replies by email.
In the app: everyone joins in the free Questo app and the teams are chosen there. Teams play the same route in Charlotte against each other and see the leaderboard at the end. A team can share one phone, but everyone on their own phone is recommended, so nobody watches over a shoulder.
A phone with the free Questo app, on iOS or Android, is all a player needs. After you book, everyone joins the game in the app, and the teams are chosen there. There is nothing to print and no venue to book: meet at the route's start point in Charlotte with charged phones.
There are no fixed start times: teams start when they are ready, on the day you choose. Teams can start a few minutes apart, so they do not simply follow each other, and they still finish at the same place in Charlotte to see the leaderboard together. You set the pace and can pause.
Each route in Charlotte has its own languages, listed on its quest page, so check them before you book. When your team speaks more than one language, choose a route that offers the ones you need. For anything the page does not answer, send the quote form and a person replies by email.
Play another day: access never expires, so if it rains on the day, the booking is not lost. Nothing needs to be rebooked or moved; the team simply starts the game when the weather suits you. You set the pace and can pause, so a short shower is no reason to stop.
Buy the extra phones in one more payment if you need more later. The date is up to you, since access never expires and teams start when they are ready. For more than 40 phones in total, send the quote form and a person replies by email.
Yes, one invoice for the whole booking: after you pay by card, request it from the order page with your company name and VAT ID. You pay once for 6 to 40 phones, so there is one order and one invoice. To pay by bank transfer instead, send the quote form and a person replies by email.
There is no time limit: you set the pace and can pause the game whenever you need to. Routes in Charlotte are walked outdoors, and each route page shows its length, so you can choose one that suits the whole team. For specific needs, send the quote form and a person replies by email.
40 phones is the most one online payment covers, and a team of 3 or 4 can share a phone. For more than 40 phones, several routes at once in Charlotte or paying by bank transfer, send the quote form on this page: a person from our team replies by email.
