Dark LullabyEscape Artist Greenville - Hampton StationEscape roomIRLVery fun follow up to Help Wanted. Game flowed well and fun interactions. Another great game from EAG.
Castle FlüffendorEscape Artist Greenville - Hampton StationEscape roomIRLThis game was fun, it surprised me quite a bit. Decor was great and puzzles flowed well and had some cute and funny moments. Our 11 yo grandson when with us and he contributed quite a bit, yet it’s still challenging for adults. Everyone in our group enjoyed this game.
Classified: Operation Nine LivesEscape Artist Greenville - DowntownEscape roomIRLThis was a very fun game that is very family friendly. We took our 10 year old grandson and he did a lot in the room and solved some puzzles too (he has played several tho). Unique theme, fun opening, and a very smooth flowing game all the way through. Play this one if you want to have some laughs and fun, it’s more than worth it. Another great game from EAG.
Tiki IslandEscape The NetherworldEscape roomIRLThe atmosphere and tech in the room was top notch. There are A LOT of locks and we missed trying some puzzle solutions on some. There was A LOT. We had fun and the finale is great still. We’ve played Nosferatu and Sasquatch here as well and enjoyed them more. We did have a problem with the volume of the room as it was so loud we sometimes couldn’t hear it or each other which caused us some issues. Also was pretty dark which caused us to miss some things. We still got out in 52 minutes.
Murder MansionCountdown GamesEscape roomIRLThis was a fun game and we enjoyed it a lot. The story was fun and the room looked terrific. The puzzles were good, mostly linear, but fun and relevant puzzles. We did have a little delay with a prop in the middle of the game that slowed us a bit. The ending was a little bit of a letdown but the rest was top notch. We took our 10 year old grandson too and he helped and had a blast. We only needed 1 hint at the very end and escaped with 8 minutes to go. Very enjoyable game.
CLUEBreakout Games - LexingtonEscape roomIRLReal life clue, pretty cool. We were able to figure it out in 40 but we reworked it just to be sure since we didn’t want to miss. We had some laughs in this game with each other. The puzzles were pretty cool and the rooms looked great. A couple of areas were a little choppy but still manageable. Fun game and we’d recommend it.
The Haunting Of Hyde HouseGatlin's Escape Games - Downtown GatlinburgEscape roomIRLVery fun experience. The setting was solid and the lighting was good throughout. Puzzles made good sense and stayed on theme. Only needed help with one clue and it was a duh moment for us. Game master was great! You can tell he enjoys it.
The Starlight MotelEscape Artist Greenville - DowntownEscape roomIRLAbsolutely fantastic room with great customer service. Very spooky and intense. A definite must do.
Help WantedEscape Artist Greenville - Hampton StationEscape roomIRLOur new favorite game. We loved it from the moment we walked into the lobby to the moment we ran out. We managed to get out without any hints or nudges, which should say how well the game flowed. It wasn’t too easy, it wasn’t too hard. The actors were 11/10, enthusiastic is an understatement. The decor and immersion was spot on. Do yourself a favor and play this game asap.
The Inheritance - CLOSEDLocked & CodedEscape roomIRLWe’ve played all the games at this company and always treated well. The owners are great. The Inheritance is prob one of their middling games with a nice finale. A couple of props were finicky but ok, one was whack tho (thump thump). We escaped with 22 minutes left! Had fun.
The Pirate ShipCountdown GamesEscape roomIRLThe decor and set was top notch however the game play and puzzles were very meh. GM lost track of where we were in the game and apparently didn’t open two things he was supposed to until we reminded him.
Big Maw Bertha's Fussin' & A' Feudin' Moonshine Hill HootenannyGatlin's Escape Games - Downtown GatlinburgEscape roomIRLWe really enjoyed this game and fortunately the two of us were paired with another couple that was actually good as well. I hate mixed groups but this one was the rare good one. The game is fun and had some funny parts, and the phone prop is a time suck but otherwise solid, we escaped with 11 minutes left and used no clues. Definitely check it out.
Masters Of MagicGatlin's Escape Games - The VillageEscape roomIRLThe game was fun with a great transition from one area to the next. One prop was a little finicky but didn’t really take away from the game. There’s a couple of trial and error puzzles as well. Overall would recommend while visiting the area.
Castle DraculaDeadbolt - Boneyfiddle Escape Rooms and MysteriesEscape roomIRLWe really enjoyed Castle Dracula. The immersion and puzzles were on theme and we had fun. We really only had trouble with one puzzle and escaped in 55 minutes. This game is well worth playing, our favorite at Deadbolt. The owners are great and GMs too!
Bros for Life: Fraternity HeistThe Escape Ventures - Orlando Waterford LakesEscape roomIRLWe really liked Bros! It was just the two of us but we handled it pretty well. We struggled on one puzzle but finally had that duh moment and made it through to be Bros. Loved the theme and the immersion. Our GM was terrific.
Captain Spoopy Bones and the Magnificent Quest For Some Other Pirate's Treasure!Doldrick's Escape RoomEscape roomIRLProbably our second favorite game to date, it flowed well with good immersion, most importantly, it was fun. Staff was superb too. 10/10. This is a must play and worth the travel.
Puppet Heist: The Hand Of LifeThe Bureau Adventure GamesEscape roomIRLWe played this and had high hopes. The entrance to The Bureau was cool and different and the waiting area is NICE. The GM was good but told us to keep something with us the whole time and that really threw us off early (if you have played, you know). It isn’t puzzle oriented at all, more task based so that is why we prob didn’t like the game. I can see others would but it wasn’t for me. The game looked and felt good and we had some laughs so all wasn’t lost. Customer service was good and the theme was cute.
The Villain's Lair: Revamped v2 - CLOSEDEscape Game KnoxvilleEscape roomIRLA Joker themed game that had good atmosphere. The game was linear with mostly locks and UV and a final that was finicky. Overall a mid level game but had fun. Owner was so enthusiastic and fun to talk to.
Al Capone’s SpeakeasyTime To Escape : Brookhaven - AtlantaEscape roomIRLWas excited for the game due to the actor aspect but she fell flat. Idk if she was having a bad day or what, but she did not want to be there. She wasn’t helpful or funny, she mostly made things harder than they should have been and wasted a lot of our time doing things that had no impact on the game. Several props did not work. The room looked ok. We made it out but by the end, I didn’t care if we escaped in time or not. I just wanted to leave.
