Why this plan works

The 3 stops cover about 1.3 miles total, which keeps you in one pocket of Charleston instead of crossing town between them. Locked and Coded Escape Rooms LLC is the main event and takes the biggest block of time; the other stops are built around it. It finishes at Taylor Books — a short, low-effort stop you can skip if you're ready to call it. Best suited to solo, couples, and friends who want a planned Charleston outing without improvising between stops.
