The Starlight Motel
Escape Artist Greenville - Downtown
Escape room
IRL
So we spent my birthday doing all the rooms at EAG's two locations. Now I'll officially go on record and say this room was my least favorite HOWEVER note that I still liked it. That was because I loved some of their other rooms more and this was more of an experience. There were some puzzles, but you definitely spent more time experiencing fear than solving puzzles and playing the game. This is still a must-do, but less to do an escape room and more to go through this event! (No spoilers!). Also, WOW. What a set, looks and feels like an old motel where bad things happen! And Quinn played the motel manager-just perfection!
Dark Lullaby
Escape Artist Greenville - Hampton Station
Escape room
IRL
So much like Starlight Motel, I'll say this wasn't one of my favorites, which is crazy because note all the awards. I still liked it, but similar to Motel, this is as much as "experience". Definitely more puzzles than Motel and if you do all the rooms here, the overarching storyline fits in perfectly, but this story is chilling. There are some SCARY moments and the set is just amazing. It's still a must-do!

Neighborhood Watcher
The Escape Ventures - Orlando
Escape room
IRL
On paper, this should just be a decent room. You are trapped in the house of a possible serial killer. But this room is special and Escape Ventures has delivered a well-deserved award winning experience. From the story (which sets the players as children) to the way that you first end up in the wrong house, things are golden. Add to that the creepy 80s house and the way the game evolves and you end up really feeling like you better escape or else! Best of all was the in-person actor who plays the disturbing neighbor! She was the key factor in this being a must-do game!
Wrecked
Masterpiece Escapes
Escape room
IRL
This room is a must-do if you are in the Charlotte area, let alone at Masterpiece Escapes! No wonder it has so many awards and nominations! 1. The setting: Masterpiece never disappoints with their sets & this is the first junkyard escape room I've ever been in! 2. The puzzles: after doing many rooms, you sometimes will start to at least see familiar ones. Not here! EVERY puzzle was unique! 3. The flow just moved along wonderfully. The first 2/3 of this room are very linear followed by a very non-linear finale!
Ghastly Escapes - Ch. 1 The Bag Man
Masterpiece Escapes
Escape room
IRL
WHAT AN EXPERIENCE! I can't give away spoilers, but suffice to say, it's a joyride from start to finish. (And it's only the first chapter!) The puzzles are good, nothing crazy hard, although this is as much an experience as an escape room! Go do this and enjoy yourself!
Operation Arctic Storm: The Final Meltdown
The Escape Ventures - Orlando
Escape room
IRL
WHAT A GAME! It's one thing to have a game IN an Arctic research station, but it's next-level to do one where you have to leave the station to go "outside" into the polar depths! Throw in some dark humor & a fantastic in-person actor & this game is a must-do!
Ruins: Forbidden Treasure
The Escape Game - Berry Hill
Escape room
IRL
This was a nice setup from The Escape Game. They took the really common theme of "Temple in a Jungle" & somehow kept it fresh and new, which we shouldn't be surprised about. It's TEG! They know what they are doing. For starters, most temple games usually start off inside already or in the jungle. Ruins starts you off in a crashed plane! As always, the flow and puzzling remain tight. Throw in TEG's attention to beautiful set design & you've got another winner on your hands. This might be their best game but there's so many to choose from. There's not any you should skip. So plan a day here!
Cutthroat Cavern
13th Gate Escape
Escape room
IRL
Cutthroat Cavern was the 4th game we did at 13th Gate. This was the one I had been waiting for. I've done so many pirate rooms, yet this room was what people talked about. The company is known for their amazing set design and after doing Tomb of Anubis, could anything top that? In short, YES. Cutthroat Cavern is THE most impressive massive set I've ever played in a game. Most pirate games take place in a room on a ship. The best ones (ahem, Captain Spoopy Bones) take place across an entire ship. Then there's this game. Sure there was a ship, but there's also a jungle temple and a whole cove. IT'S HUGE. Also, lots of real sand. We dumped it out of our shoes on the way home. The puzzles were definitely not easy but they were somewhat intuitive. 13th Gate uses an "automated" clue system that they bake into most of their rooms. Someone, like a cat in Spellbound or another victim in The Collector, gives you a pre-recorded clue when you need help. In this game, of course, it's a parrot. The effect works surprisingly well and the gamemaster stays on top of things to jump in if the automated response isn't helpful. The only issue in this game was that you could only hear the parrot in certain rooms. We encountered the same issue in Asylum. There was a nice flow as well. I will say that out of all their games, Cavern had a amazing plot twist storyline which I really found heartwarming. Didn't see that coming. And honestly, this didn't come across as your typical pirate game. This was more of an homage to Indiana Jones as well as the Goonies then Pirates of the Caribbean. This game had one big issue that ALL of 13th Gate's games have. These are 60 minute rooms that really need to be 75 minute rooms. There's a LOT of puzzling to be done. We were a group of 4 and we ran over and they let us keep going. Come to 13th Gate for pretty much any & all of the games here. Put Cutthroat as a must-do experience (along with Anubis and Flight 13). This company is worth the 90 minute drive from New Orleans. If you are coming out, plan to spend the whole day there & do all of their games. .
Crazy Train: The Ballad of Skeemin' Plotz
Doldrick's Escape Room
Escape room
IRL
And...this is my new favorite escape room. Where do I begin? Let's start with the description: you are on a train trying to thwart a dastardly mustachioed Snidely Whiplash-like villain on a train set in a black & white 1920's cartoon! The entire game is like this! I had the best time sometimes laughing so much, I almost forgot to solve puzzles! A must-do in Orlando, Doldrick's was already a stand-out & then reset their own bar with this one! There's a reason this game is ranked as one of the best in the world!
Nevermore
Nocturne Adventures
Escape room
IRL
Wow, where do I begin? This game lives up to the hype as a Best of Morty game for several years & for us, a wonderful first game of 2025! The set design was a labor of love (the whole game is, actually) with a gorgeous Victorian mansion vibe. The puzzles were all intuitive and flowed perfectly. (Keep an eye out for the sprinkled-in Poe easter eggs!). I've done actually several Edgar Allen Poe rooms, but this is my favorite, hands down. Some other random points of interest: This is a business inside a home! (Which makes sense since no rent, no additional utilities, etc) They worked very hard to keep you immersed the whole time with some unique clue-in system. It wasn't until the end when I really understood our goal that I felt this game was just beautiful. In case you can't tell, I can't recommend this place enough. This is one worth making the trek to Hickory to do. (And yes, that's me rocking the Friends of Morty t-shirt!)
