Escape Room Asheville Directions

Breakout Games - Asheville is located in the heart of downtown on Patton Ave, adjacent to Pritchard Park (which you may know for its famed drum circle on Friday nights!). If you’re coming in from the West, simply take Patton Ave into town. If you’re coming from the East, take I-240 to exit 4C, turn left onto Montford Ave, and then left again onto Haywood St, which will take you directly to the store. From the North, take Merrimon Ave down and turn left onto N Lexington. Continue until College St, take a right, then pass the park and take a left on Patton. Breakout will be on the right. From the South, head up 25 (Hendersonville Rd, then McDowell St), veer left to continue north onto Asheland Ave, then turn right at Patton. Breakout is on the right.

While these directions take you to the store, there is no parking at our Breakout Asheville location. We highly advise leaving extra time to find parking/walk over, especially during busy weekend days and evenings. There are several parking decks nearby, including Wall Street, Civic Center, and Rankin Ave. Also, please note that street parking is free on Sundays and in the evenings, though these spots tend to go fast on weekends.

Escape Room Tips & Strategy

Few things can adequately prepare someone for the intensity and excitement of an escape room, but here are a few quick pointers:

  • Work together as a team. There's no need to showboat or make conflict with teammates. You're all striving for the common goal of escaping in time.
  • Keep an eye on the clock, as time passes very quickly.
  • Take advantage of your clues. We try to offer assistance when needed, and inevitably, most groups get stuck on something or another.
  • Instead of digging deep into your advanced Calculus knowledge, when you get stumped for 5-10 minutes on a single step, just ask for help. Chances are the solution was something pretty simple that you guys just happened to miss. Trust me, you'll feel a lot better having broken out after using 2 clues than fretting over what went wrong when you refused to ask for help.

The Thirsty Monk is just down Patton on the left. Across the street resides the Jack of the Wood pub. If you’re looking for nice views, check out SkyBAR or the Grove Park Inn. Asheville also has a booming brewery scene located on the South Slope section of town.
