The Starlight Motel. The game that (imo) put EA Greenville on the map, and therefore came with a ton of hype. I am happy to report that it absolutely lives up to it and deserves even more. What makes this room is the interactions with the actor (which are required - get your improv hat ready!) and the finale which genuinely was one of those most thrilling and scary moments I’ve had in an escape room. The tension that builds up through the entire game is palpable and truly a masterpiece. Come from anywhere you can go spend a night at the Starlight Motel, cause it just might be your last!

Holy crap!!!! This one scared the socks off me, like dark lullaby, i ended up on the floor and crawling away after one of the scares πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Lou was such an immersive character for our game too, deserves any and all the praise he gets tbh - my favorite part was how nonchalant his character was and how subtly he was able to give us slight pointers Genuinely epic game with a really cool layout/footprint. Super glad this was our finale for the night - ended off with a huge adrenaline pumping bang

Gameplay

Game flowed super well, as soon as we got checked in we were off to puzzling!! A couple things were hard for at least me to do just because the anxiety of what could happen (for example) after putting my hands in certain places

Atmosphere

Really felt like a run down, dingy, yet spotless (for clean freaks) hotel - special effects were awesome, fully rounded with lighting, soundscape, and some really cool technology

Customer service

Our investigator (I’m sorry I didn’t catch their name!!!!) and Lou, we’re fantastic, nice and immersive from the get go. (Lou was very nice AFTER his short, tired, don’t-want-to-be-there character - which was an awesome contrast to see)

Story

Very very memorable and fun story - getting to take part in the interactive acting/improv was one of the coolest parts of this experience - it was awesome to be able to find out more and more of the story as the room played out

This is easily one of the 5 best rooms I have played. So wonderfully creepy, Fantastic puzzles, and an amazing staff. Matthew, Pork, Audrey were all amazing!!!! If you are escape room enthusiast this is a must do. Do not visit Greenville without doing this room. A complete experience. I do not want to spoil anything so that's all I will say. The room itself if not something I would take a younger teen to.

Well-paced light horror game with a few jumpscares and tense moments. Puzzles are decent, but the set is great and the actor interactions are fantastic (Eden was awesome!). The best game at EA Greenville's downtown location (although I still prefer the quirkiness of Classified). My personal ranking of the 5 games at the downtown location as of August '25: 1. Classified: Operation Nine Lives (just too silly not to be my #1 here. No flaws, but it's too easy with 4, I think.) 2. Starlight Motel (excellent flow and plotting, tight with good acting moments, puzzles were just OK - a superior game to Classified, but silliness wins :) ) 3. Yuletide Magic (fun, surprisingly good puzzles and Christmasy vibes) 4. Dr. Fratelli's Cabin (Very (too) easy! A great puzzle toward the end. Good beginner game... or solo game. We finished in 24 mins as 4 people. Skippable if you're low on time) 5. Inventor's Enigma (A unique puzzle at the end, but most puzzles were a bit simple. Relatively easy overall, might be a good beginner room. Skippable if you're low on time.)

Super fun room! First time doing a scary themed room and second with a live actor. Ellie and Karissa were great and we were even paying attention to the time because we were so sucked into the room!
