NevermoreNocturne AdventuresEscape roomIRLThis game is absolutely amazing! The set work was detailed and beautiful, the gameplay made logical sense and included some of my favorite types of puzzles, and everything made sense in the theming and storyline. The owners are amazing people who clearly take great pride in their games and the hobby as a whole. Definitely in my top games.
Castle FlüffendorEscape Artist Greenville - Hampton StationEscape roomIRLAwesome game! Super cute some easier puzzles some more challenging. Perfect for families and loved the “character” interactions! Great whimsical theming and some unique and exciting moments! We expect nothing less from the Escape Artist team!
RipperNocturne AdventuresEscape roomIRLThis room was awesome! I am a total chicken so I was so excited they released a non-scare version. So for our version no live actors in the game and no complete darkness. Less adult language, etc also. I LOVED it! The scary version is completely out of the question for me but this version was just scary enough. Gory, horror theming but no anxiety of someone coming after you lol. Great puzzles, awesome story (I love true crime) and of course amazing game hosting by the wonderful owners! Now I can recommend this to people who would otherwise not play something as intense as the regular version (but if you like scary, whew, the scary version would be EXTREMELY intense!). Don’t miss this one!
Escape Area 51Elite Escape GamesEscape roomIRLAs a 4 time TERPECA nominee this was not what I expected. The atmosphere was pretty decent but there is no ventilation and it became extremely hot to where my husband thought he was going to pass out. There was a smell in the whole building and while there were many typical ER puzzles there was some missing sign posting and a few didn’t make sense and we kind of fumbled until it solved. The story was a bit shallow and less of a story but more of a modge podge of puzzles. There were a few unique elements and I think the other rooms at this location are newer and probably worth checking out.
Wild WestBreakout Games - GreenvilleEscape roomIRLThis is one of Breakouts best rooms. The set work is far beyond their other games and the puzzles are also unique. There were a couple of things that didn’t feel intuitive but overall this is a really solid game that’s better for larger groups. We were with our kids and I think we would have done better with 4-8 adults.
Gold RushSpare Time EntertainmentEscape roomIRLThis game was really bad. The set was relatively nice and the GM was nice but the game was awful. Nothing was intuitive, it did not flow, and at the end when there were obvious items not solved and locks still locked the GM said “there’s just a lot of red herrings in this room”. Like what? We don’t do that as an industry anymore 🤦🏼♀️. We suspect this was a 1 hour game they changed into a 30 minute game. It was not fun.
Harry TroterEscape Room AdventuresEscape roomIRLPlease don’t spend money here this whole establishment is an embarrassment to the escape room industry. Look at their Google reviews it’s really terrible in all aspects.
