Metro MayhemMasterpiece EscapesEscape roomIRLMetro Mayhem was redone relatively recently, so some reviews are outdated. Definitely campy! Outside of the box puzzling and a unique storyline. Play this one for the quirky vibes and crazy puzzling (and great! actor interaction). We played this one as a prequel, and got one extra puzzle 😉
Quest For The Temple of LightThe Keepers of BalanceEscape roomIRLTemple of Light has the best set I’ve seen in North America. By all definitions, a must play. Grandiose, spectacular, tactile. By far the highlight of our trip.
Defenders of the Sunken RealmThe Keepers of BalanceEscape roomIRLSunken Realm was great! A smaller start but opens up. Fun actor banter, storyline and set. An all around solid game and mix of puzzle types. Temple of Light is definitely the show stopper, but any Keepers of Balance game is a top tier experience!
System Overlord: Dawn of the MachineThe Keepers of BalanceEscape roomIRLSystem Overlord was great! A surprising story and some great puzzling. Multilinear and fun sets. One puzzle I felt needed slightly better lighting, but was clued well. Large heavy props, set pieces, and puzzles. Truly larger than life, and a boss battle? One minor tech issue but overall a very solid game.
PrecinctTimed OutEscape roomIRLPrecinct was a good old fashioned puzzle fest! A more traditional room, and some tricky word puzzle here. Multilinear, good for a larger group.
InariTimed OutEscape roomIRLInari was my favorite room from Timed Out! Clever theming, fun sets, plus great lighting and sound effects. Some input timing on puzzles elevated the difficulty, but a welcome challenge. We did have one sticky lock, but otherwise no issues! If you can only play one room, this is the one.
Teleporter TrialsLock, Clock, and Peril Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLWe finally had the chance to make it out to Lock Clock and Peril, and we had a fantastic time. Teleporter Trials was a great palette cleanser. Humorous, great physical effects, and fantastic puzzles. A seriously impressive game with a lovely home made feel. Story was humorous, meta, and the set was a joy to experience. The owners Tanya and Paul were the best! I can’t wait to come back.
A Not So Fairytale EndingLock, Clock, and Peril Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLMy 500th room, and my favorite at Lock Clock and Peril. Lovely owners, great set traversal and super satisfying puzzling. Creative story beats, fun effects, lighting and sound. A must do for any enthusiast. Thank you for a fantastic time!
WreckedMasterpiece EscapesEscape roomIRLReally solid puzzles. Great sense of exploration and fun environments! My favorite at Masterpiece
Tomb RaidersLock, Clock, and Peril Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLLots of puzzles, bring your A game! A wonderful use of space, harder, abstract puzzles, and clever reveals
MissingMasterpiece EscapesEscape roomIRLMissing was a spooky fun time! Very solid puzzling, multilinear and a fun time for all. Of all the games at Masterpiece, I’d put this one near the middle.
The Coral Kingdom AquariumMasterpiece EscapesEscape roomIRLCoral Kingdom is a great game! I really liked the set and how you could see into and out of the room. Lots of rooms block out the entirety of the outside, but not Coral Kingdom! Funny actor interactions, lots of unique nonlinear puzzling and dressing up make this a must play at Masterpiece.
Paranormal InvestigatorLock, Clock, and Peril Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLToo often now escape rooms are purely mental. Paranormal Investigator brings back fun physical challenges into the mix! Physical and mental, more traditional puzzling and a fun actor driven start! Game is a bit older but still a solid fun time. Spooky, not scary.
The Deadwood SaloonMasterpiece EscapesEscape roomIRLAn older multilinear room. Rough and gritty. Tactile puzzles, entirely tech-less. I’ve heard this one might not be around much longer, so play if you have a chance!
Illusion - CLOSEDTimed OutEscape roomIRLIllusion was a nonlinear puzzle fest. Unique puzzles and fun decor. Great through line and a solid magician room!
Dark LullabyEscape Artist Greenville - Hampton StationEscape roomIRLFrom a fairytale into a nightmare 😱
The Starlight MotelEscape Artist Greenville - DowntownEscape roomIRLStarlight Motel was a great blend of actor interactions, horror, and puzzling. Smaller but detailed sets, real running, and jump scares. Plus, puzzles? 😱 scary good time!
The Chimera Corp SagaEscape Artist Greenville - Hampton StationEscape roomIRLEach game of the Chimera Corp saga was so different, but together was a great experience. From a fairytale castle to a nightmare, to the dream facility, each chapter shined a little light onto the inner workings of Chimera Corp. Actor interactions, fairytale whimsy, and moments of pure joy abound. This journey was a beautiful and terrifying dive into the world of dreams.
