The Starlight MotelEscape Artist Greenville - DowntownEscape roomIRLIt was a very good room. I am not a lover of scary rooms, and while that did detract some for me, I am glad we played it. I am a lover of the puzzles in rooms, and those were a bit meh. The live actor is what makes this room special. It is absolutely an immersive experience. I really enjoyed the fact that there wasn't an obvious clock counting down the time. I also loved the hint system that really just added to the immersion.
Dark LullabyEscape Artist Greenville - Hampton StationEscape roomIRLThe immersion was sooo good. There was one moment where I swore we had moved outside. The live actor adds so much to the room. I'm not a huge fan of scary, and this definitely has the scary moments, but it is worthwhile. I love puzzles, and this room was filled with a wide variety of them.
Help WantedEscape Artist Greenville - Hampton StationEscape roomIRLYou should go to any Escape Artist Greenville room for the immersion and the character interactions. Help Wanted is no different. The puzzles here were well done and unique. This room's story is tied to the Dark Lullabye story, but this one is not as scary.
Teleporter TrialsLock, Clock, and Peril Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLUnique room in many ways. From the first station it grabs your attention. Neat puzzles that are easy to follow. A number of AHA! moments, and a fun hint system. Highly recommended.
The Jurassic ProjectMemphis Escape Rooms - South MainEscape roomIRLSuch an amazing set! If you've seen Jurassic Park the movie, you will feel as though you are there. There are animatronics too. So much good…but then too few puzzles and a we finished in a very short time. There was one lock that they said always needed a hint (for us, too) which makes me think it just isn't a good puzzle.
Shipwreck CoveMemphis Escape Rooms - South MainEscape roomIRLThis had a great set, which is true for all of the Memphis Escape Room rooms I've played. There were at least 2 puzzles that required completely unique equipment/ways to solve that I had never seen in an escape room. It was also a bit short and with easier puzzles than I would have liked. Still recommended.
Classified: Operation Nine LivesEscape Artist Greenville - DowntownEscape roomIRLEscape Artist Greenville has a lot of top rated rooms. I am not a big fan of scary, so this is actually my favorite room here. I haven't experienced anything like the first act in the 70+ rooms I've done. This rooms is cute and funny and has some excellent physical challenges. As with all Escape Artist rooms, the live actor characters are tremendous and really add to the theme.
Pirates Curse60 to Escape - MilwaukeeEscape roomIRLHad great theming and atmosphere. Also had some quite challenging puzzles, and clever ones. The "Escape" itself was fairly short, but then there were 5 extra puzzles that took up the time and could all be done in parallel, which created options for everyone. Fun tech, like an animatronic parrot.
Yacht HeistTotal EscapeEscape roomIRLVery good room. Nonlinear. Lots of unique puzzles that required thought, and mostly maglocks. The goal was not to escape, but to "steal" crowns and coins. We got all of them, twice as many as needed to be winners.
The Adventure MuseumThe Adventure MuseumEscape roomOther We loved it so much. There are so many options for games to play. Some were definitely better than others in our group, but every group will be able to find something they'll enjoy, Some strictly physical. Some mostly speed. Others mostly balance. Some mental. Some skill-based (balls through hoops, etc.). The best ones had a combination of all. We played for 90 minutes, and would definitely come back quite a few times before we'd run out of enthusiasm.
