We did two rooms tonight and we had an absolutely amazing time! The rooms were fun, challenging, and immersive!! Meagan was a fantastic host and game master and she had such an amazing personality! She made the experience even better! We have done well over 100 rooms and we really enjoyed this establishment! We can't wait to come back and try the last room! Book a room with them today! You will not be disappointed!

We LOVED this! We had never done an escape room and had so much fun. We did the Apothecary Challenge and saved the Mermaid! It was all very clever and we really had fun solving the puzzles along the way + learning about Charleston history. It is in walking distance in the historic district right on King Street. We have already recommended to others. Will go again! So great!

Been here twice. Did the apothecary and the serial killer rooms. The puzzles are very well designed. Not too difficult but definitely a good challenge. Will be back for more.

Really great experience, friendly staff and great rooms! We did the Lavinia Fisher's Boarding House room and had a good time. It was very atmospheric and spooky! Arianna ran our room and did a great job!

My family did the Apothecary room on a rainy day and it was perfect. The person who welcomed us in and ran the room was incredibly nice. The room was interesting, with a good mix of puzzles and locks. They were all the right level of difficulty, somewhat difficult but we could usually figure them out. When we did need help, the clues were more clarifying than just outright giving the answers, which was perfect. All in all, I would definitely recommend this place and the Apothecary room!!

We had a great experience at Time Traveller. The Apothecary room was perfect for our family. Challenging enough to keep us interested but not frustrated. Meghan was a great host and the facility is unique. We will definitely visit again next time we are in Charleston.

A very chilled escape room attraction. The owner is very knowledgeable and ultilizes the history and outside-the-box puzzle solving to create a fun and entertaining experience. Furthermore, the owner is very personal and she also gives beer or wine throughout the escape experience! Overall, an enjoyable escape experience with a lofty and chill atmosphere.
