The Starlight MotelEscape Artist Greenville - DowntownEscape roomIRLVery fun and extremely interactive room. We love Escape Artist and have enjoyed all of their rooms so far. Our GM/Hotel Manager Pork did an amazing job being in character. I felt all the puzzles were straight forward and fit the theme. Definitely has the creepy vibe it is shooting for. Several parts were very fun and slightly scary (if you are scared of those types of situations). But I wont spoil it. Couple of cool fun puzzles that we have seen before elsewhere but done in a creative way that fit the theme. Highly recommend Escape Artist.
NevermoreNocturne AdventuresEscape roomIRLOMG and WOW! My wife and I have done over 100 escape rooms all around the country and Nocturne is now one of the tops we have done. We drove about 3 hours to get there and it was more than worth the trip. Tom and Nicole have figured out the Secret formula to escape room success: great people + great themes/decor + great stories + great puzzles = GREAT TIME! No stress of a clock really allows you to just enjoy the adventure of Nevermore. No super high-tech stuff going on in either room. Just amazing decor, awesome sounds/music and atmosphere plus a few spots of live acting to really add to the mood of Nevermore. Puzzles made sense, were fun and fit the theme of the room. If you get the chance you must visit Nocturne.
Teleporter TrialsLock, Clock, and Peril Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLMy wife and I played this room after Undercover Agents today. These were our last two rooms at LCP. I have to say that LCP has set the bar very high for all other escape rooms we play. This room was probably my favorite at LCP and is on the list of top favorites anywhere. LCP outdid themselves on this one. I dont remember a single lock or key in the entire room(s). Room was very well themed, had a lot of unique experiences/puzzles. More rooms than usual. It even has a great story with a very funny ending that made the room even more memorable. Our GM Paul was great and gave us the nudges we needed to get out. You must do this room and the others at LCP if you are in SC area.
RipperNocturne AdventuresEscape roomIRLOMG and WOW! My wife and I have done over 100 escape rooms all around the country and Nocturne is now one of the tops we have done. We drove about 3 hours to get there and it was more than worth the trip. Tom and Nicole have figured out the Secret formula to escape room success: great people + great themes/decor + great stories + great puzzles = GREAT TIME! No stress of a clock. No super high-tech stuff going on in either room. Just amazing decor, awesome sounds/music and atmosphere plus the interactive live actors (Tom the Ripper and Natalie) in Ripper creates an hour of super intense but super fun time. Like nothing we have ever done. We chose the R-rated scary version. We aren't fans of horror films or haunted houses but we had a blast. If you get the chance you must visit Nocturne.
WreckedMasterpiece EscapesEscape roomIRLMy wife and I had a great time with this room. Puzzles were unique. Game Master was awesome and really nudged us as needed without spoiling the game. Highly recommend.
The LakehouseThe Sanctuary Escape GamesEscape roomIRLIncredible theme and set design. The technology in the final part of the game was awesome. We enjoyed the puzzles as well. Must do game. Brooke our GM was super helpful moving us along. They graciously gave us extra time to make sure we could see the finale. In addition, the owner and Manager Brooke were nice and opened early to accommodate our travel schedule. Much appreciated.
Hidden Needle Tattoo ParlorThe Exit Games - Princess St.Escape roomIRLMy wife and I made a 4hr roadtrip to play all three of the rooms at The Exit Games. Based on the reviews and having over 120 rooms under our belt, I had high expectations. All three of their rooms lived up to the hype. I really enjoyed all of the rooms. They are all so fun but also so different that it is difficult to select a favorite. We were only a group of two and we were able to escape all the rooms. Our GM Riley was awesome. She had a very energetic personality and really got into the characters to introduce the rooms. We are not into tattoos ourselves, but I thought this room was very unique and cool. The music was awesome. The theme was great and the puzzles really fit the theme. The music and theme were so good in fact that I found myself getting distracted from the tasks at hand. Lol. All of the puzzles made sense and flowed well but were challenging enough to make it fun. The last puzzle/task was definitely one of the most unique and memorable I have ever done. Even if you are not into tattoos, I highly recommend this room and the other rooms here.
Vanishing ActBlack Mountain EscapeEscape roomIRLJon (owner/Game Master/Magician 's apprentice) for our game was very entertaining. It was quite amazing how he popped in and out of our game without seeing him leave. The puzzles in the room were fun and challenging but Jon made sure we were able to finish the game to see the fun ending. My wife and I had a great time doing all three rooms at Black Mountain Escape this weekend for her birthday. The atmosphere was very cool as it is set in the oldest building in Black Mountain. It was quite amazing how the rooms were incorporated into the old building. He even included a few fun things into the Vanishing Act game to honor her birthday. Can't wait for the new room to open whenever it is ready (hopefully soon).
The Poe AdventureThe Secret Chambers - ArlingtonEscape roomIRLAwesome room that lived up to the hype of the reviews. Very fun and unique puzzles. The live actor "ghost" added a very fun bit to the room. I am pretty sure we ran over a few minutes but they let us finish up to see the incredible ending. Very well done! Must do room if you are in the area.
Under PressureKey to EscapeEscape roomIRLWow. Amazing room. The storyline and theme of this room was fantastic. It was just my wife and I and we were not at the top of our game and almost escaped. We struggled with a few of the puzzles and needed quite a few nudges. Even though we didnt escape we loved this room. The sound system in this room really amped up the "under pressure" theme. There were a few unique elements that we had not seen elsewhere that really added to the fun. The use of technology, storytelling and artistry in this room and all the rooms at Key To Escape is as good as it gets. You must stop at Key To Escape if you are near the Stateville NC area or just looking for some great rooms. Roger the owner was very hospitable and we enjoyed talking about escape rooms, tech and various other topics. Matt, our GM did a great job with storytelling for the room and nudges.
