Codescape, Charlotte’s newest escape room, to open Friday the 13th

Codescape, the newest addition to Charlotte’s escape room scene, will open next Friday the 13th. The space is located at 933 Louise Avenue above Advent Coworking in the Belmont/Plaza Midwood neighborhood.

Codescape is the fith escape room to open in Charlotte in the last year – EXIT STRATEGY, Black Out, Escape Hour and Escape Kings are already in operation – but Mitchell and his business partner Jordan Renda say their professional experience will take their suspense games to the next level.

The guys know a thing or two about creating immersive thrill experiences, having both run haunted houses in the past. They’ve even got design and build experience from working on major themed attractions like The Wizarding World of Harry Potter and Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios. Nate is a freelance set designer and created the sets for Codescape’s three game rooms: Shipwrecked, The Residents and Lucidity.
