About

Welcome to Unlocked History Escape Rooms, where you can step back in time and immerse yourself in pivotal moments of the past. Nestled in the heart of Charlottesville, VA, our escape rooms offer unique, historically-themed adventures that challenge your wits and ignite your imagination. Each room is meticulously designed to transport you to a different era, allowing you to experience history firsthand.

One of our standout experiences is "The British are Coming" escape room. Set in the year 1781, this room places you at the heart of the Revolutionary War, during a critical moment in American history. As British soldiers advance on Monticello, the home of Virginia Governor Thomas Jefferson, you and your team have just received a dire warning from Jack Jouett: the British are coming. Your mission is clear – find the keys to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness to safeguard the Declaration of Independence from falling into enemy hands.

The atmosphere of "The British are Coming" is authentically crafted to reflect the tension and urgency of the era. From the moment you step into Monticello, you'll be surrounded by period-specific decor and artifacts that transport you back to 18th-century Virginia. The puzzles and challenges you encounter are deeply intertwined with historical events and figures, ensuring a rich and engaging experience. Can you unlock the secrets and secure the future of the fledgling nation before time runs out?

Our passion for history extends beyond this one adventure. Explore Edgar Allan Poe's world in "The Raven" escape room, set in 1826 in Edgar's dormitory room at the University of Virginia. Can you solve the mystery of his disappearance with only a ghastly raven as your guide?

In our World War II "The Allied Spy" escape room, D-Day invasion is imminent. As an undercover operative in Paris, your mission is to contact the legendary spy Virginia Hall, infiltrate Nazi headquarters, and sabotage enemy operations. Will you succeed in changing the course of history?
