Read What Our Guests Are Saying


“I was in town visiting my family on Saturday and we love to try out escape rooms when we’re together. We also really love Charleston history and spent many nights in downtown Charleston learning the history of the city when I was growing up. Time Traveler Escape Games does a great job of taking points in the history of Charleston and immersing you in a fun and interactive experience. The puzzles are challenging but solvable and along the way they do a great job of teaching you a little about the historic city of Charleston. Would definitely go back next time I’m in town.”

“We have gone to quite a few escape rooms, we found this company and tried the apothecary room.  This was one of the most well thought out rooms I’ve done!  Everything was painstakingly to period, down to the locks.  The room was difficult but we got through with 4 people and a couple clues.  I can’t wait to go back!  Very high quality for your money and awesome people working there.”

“First time ever doing an Escape Room and I totally loved this experience. Our guides were engaging and super friendly. The rooms were accurately themed as all based on Charleston’s history. Lavinia is disturbingly frightening. If you haven’t been to this place PLEASE CHECK IT OUT!”
