THE GAME
Escape on Purpose is a fun, interactive entertainment activity. It is a real-life escape room game for groups of 3-10 people. While the goal is simple, the game is challenging: work as a team, testing your wits and skills to escape the room in under 60 minutes. You will work together by finding clues, solving puzzles and conquering challenges. The escape room is conveniently located near Chapel Hill, Durham, Cary, Apex and Raleigh.
Escape for fun. Give on purpose.
We have supported three charities through our business since it started in 2017. When you book you will choose one of the three charities as part of the checkout process. These choices from the teams that have visited escape on purpose will be tallied and used to allocate a portion of our profits. Currently the charities are Wounded Warriors, Step Up Durham and Independent Animal Rescue. The heart in our key is giving and the E is the escape.

BOOK NOWStarship Mission
It's 2834 you and the crew are returning from a very successful deep space mission. In an instant you go from smooth sailing to abandon ship. A irreversible warp core breach has occurred and the abandon ship alarm fills the air. In an instant the crew and shuttle craft have launched. This leaves you on the bridge with the task of accessing the bridge transporter room and then beam to safety. It would seem a minor task; however, the bridge crew and captain were on the first shuttle. You assess the situation and decide that having no starship experience is only a minor setback.

BOOK NOWThe (Un)Common Room
You make a wrong turn on a road trip one night because sometimes GPSs just suck. You end up at a rather odd B&B at the edge of town. Your gut tells you to leave, but the innkeepers beg you to stay and help figure out the mystery of the Inn’s common room. Strange things are happening there around midnight each night. They seem like nice people and they're anxious for your help, so you stay. Clearly there must be a logical explanation. But is it normal for curtains to shimmer and candles to light themselves? Perhaps this B&B’s common room is not so common after all. It's 11pm …freakin’ GPSs.

Is there an age limit?
Families are welcome and we can discuss accommodations in the rooms for younger family members and special access.
