Outta Time eXcape Rooms of South Charleston

Outta Time eXcape Rooms of South Charleston is an escape room in South Charleston, WV. It offers a live, physical adventure experience where teams solve puzzles and riddles using logic and clues, but with a twist: the mission is not to escape, but to find important artifacts that have been lost to time. The experience is designed as a private event, so groups only play with the people they came with, and rooms can accommodate up to 6 or 10 players depending on the mission. Guests have up to 60 minutes to complete a room's objective, and the entire in-person experience takes about 90 minutes. All guests must be at least 13 years old. The business holds a rating of 4.90 based on customer reviews.

The experience is built around an immersive, post-apocalyptic world set in 2077, where players step into the role of time travel cadets for the fictional Outta Time Inc. From the lobby to the games and even the restrooms, the setting is meticulously detailed to Hollywood standards, a vision born from Hollywood Production Designer and FX artist RJ Haddy. The company's mission is to recover items lost to time and preserve them for future generations, a story woven into the games themselves. Available missions include Poe's Lament, set in Edgar Allan Poe's Victorian writing study the day after his death, where players search for a lost unpublished manuscript; Christmas with the Quantumz, set on Christmas Eve 1985, where players must find Professor Quantumz; and Dr. Isor's Mysterious Mothman MisAdventure, set in November 1966. Poe's Lament offers special private room pricing for groups of up to two, four, or six players. Booking is done online at least 24 hours in advance, and no cash is accepted.

The venue is located at 1422 Washington St E, on Washington Street East, about a tenth of a mile from the East End Bazaar market and a short distance from Piedmont Elementary School and the Charleston Fire Department Station 1. Parking is available in the alleyway lot behind East End Bazaar or on the street. It is open Wednesday through Saturday and by special reservation on Sunday through Tuesday.

The business is known for its high customer rating of 4.90, reflecting positive feedback from those who have played its games. It stands out locally for its fully private rooms, its detailed Hollywood-standard design, and its original, story-driven missions that blend live theater with escape game mechanics.
