Dark Lullaby

(Played as Part of The Chimera Corp Saga) The game that made me “get” horror rooms. I am very much not someone who enjoys being scared, anxious, or uncomfortable, and this game made me feel this way fully, while also completely safe. The actors in this game balanced story-driven horror and helpfulness in a way that made me feel safe and excited (though not particularly eager, i mean it was STILL scary give me a break) to engage with it. I went into Dark Lullaby dreading it, and looking back on all three games, this one was unexpectedly my favorite. The puzzles were creative and well integrated. The hint system was excellent too. Amazing job you all at Chimera Corp.

My partner, who is not at all a fan of escape rooms after having done a handful or so liked the format of this room much more than any others that we have done. He appreciate the strong storyline element (he's always asking after the rooms "but WHY are we doing this?" and that it just wasn't just dozens of locks, keys, and codes.

No spoilers here!

Another amazing room! Great theme and actually creepy! Our GM and live actors were amazing! Truly an awesome and unique experience that starts right when you walk in. The puzzles were great and there is an organic "nudge" system tied in. We really enjoyed this room! Can't wait to do more!

This game has a very nice set and memorable actor interactions/banter. Puzzles made sense and were fair. This applies to all the Chimera Corp games, but it's great (and unusual) how much of the experience begins even before entering the actual escape room. The lobby being themed, the in-universe newspapers lying around, and the in universe orientation briefing make things super immersive. Personally, though I'm not a fan of horror, so this game didn't speak to me and was my least favorite of the three Chimera Corp games (though I still enjoyed it and thought it was well done). It did help build up the universe for Help Wanted.

Do you like spooky? Do you like spoopy??? Then you should experience Dark Lullaby. I'd recommend this room to anyone who likes scary escape rooms. It nails it. The room design was detailed and immersive. It kept me in a constant state of unease. And of course, I have to gush about the actors!!! Their timing and intensity were spot on. It added a whole new layer of thrill to the puzzles and challenges. It was both scary and exciting. I found myself laughing one moment and jumping and screaming the next. If I could drink a forgetfulness potion so I could do this room all over again, I'd drink it without question. I'd even recommend this room to someone who doesn't like scary because it's such a great experience. This is my favorite of the three rooms at this location. What can I say? I'm a sucker for scary.

After a lot of reflection, this room is probably my favorite of three rooms offered by Escape Artist Greenville at this location. This was not an easy choice considering how impressive they all are. This room had just the right amount of spooky flare - the sound design and lighting did an excellent job maintaining a creepy atmosphere, the set design fit the story perfectly, and the live actor offered some much needed comedic relief. I've done quite a few spooky rooms at this point, and I think Dark Lullaby is up there with the best of them. I highly recommend doing all three rooms at this location, if possible. They all take place in the same universe, and I appreciate the work they've done to make them all feel cohesive. I highly recommend this room and the others.

The set design on this room was incredible. So many cool spaces. A total of 5 different “areas” you go into (albeit some are very small). And the transition/experience from room one to two had my jaw on the floor. Our in-room actor was amazing and so so funny. It’s a “creepy” room but I would say they are also comedic to lighten the mood a bit. There were a few puzzles in this one that had me saying “wow” and were so unique. Definitely an amazing company. Would put this behind starlight motel, but is a close competitor.

8/10 Escape Artist Greenville know how to scare you because this room got the hairs on my back standing on end multiple times. This room will keep a small group busy with its puzzles, have you on your toes the entire experience, and surprise you in the most excellent ways.

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!
