Help Wanted

We played the Chimera Corp games back-to-back in the currently suggested order (Castle Fluffendor -> Dark Lullaby -> Help Wanted) and so got the bonus ending; my rating for Help Wanted is based on all three together. It's a satisfying story arc that Help Wanted neatly ties up. It's also impressive how different the aesthetics of the games are. 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 more makes things super immersive. Having three games over which to have establish the universe makes things feel even more expansive. Puzzles felt good and made sense in universe. There's a variety of interesting and unusual interactions, and everything just felt good. I think it edges out Starlight Motel as my favorite overall game of our Columbia/Greenville trip.

It is the best use of technology I've ever seen in an escape room. The puzzles were super entertaining, and the experience as a whole was super immersive and interactive (and hilarious). It gave me Aperture Science company vibes. Anyway... This room was a super great end to the whole experience of this escape room location. I walked away in awe of everything. The puzzles were fun. They had me smiling through the entire experience.

Really great game! Would have easily gotten a heart from me, but there were too many tech/reset issues. Game master had to come into the room twice breaking immersion. A prop malfunctioned leaving us stumped for a bit.

This game was so creative and immersive that despite several tech and reset issues (I really hope that was a rarity) I still loved it. I’m not a usual fan of actors but they really enhanced the game in this instance and were well placed (not with you the whole time). Can’t wait to do another game there soon!

Loved this room! Very high tech and immersive design. The puzzles were pretty straightforward but we really enjoyed the story and atmosphere!

Working as new hires for Chimera Corp was a wonderful experience! We were welcomed by the hiring manager in the lobby, did orientation, and were put to unpaid work! Jokes aside, everything and everyone truly played a part in the immersive experience. I loved the interactions with the live actors and the thematic puzzle mechanisms. After playing both this and Castle Flüffendor, I would recommend playing this room first before doing the other rooms. 10/10!

Really fun room. Immersive from the start. Very unique concept and design. Lots of puzzles we haven’t done before.

7/10 This is a great room, I just had one major issue with the gameplay that I don’t want to spoil. What I will say is the concept is beautifully executed for how imaginative it is. The story is straight forward, production is on point, the tech is intuitive, and the puzzles are fun and creative.

This room was great for many many reasons. First off at this location, all three rooms have an overarching storyline that isn't a stretch. Everything from the set design to the puzzles, and what you were asked to do, as well as the interactions with the live actor, what an incredible time! One thing that I really appreciate it was that this was an experience as well. Sometimes, the experience supercedes the fact that you are doing an escape room (less puzzles, etc) but not here! It was a perfect balance! And the dark humor, wow. This room is a must-do!

We have 3 of the rooms and all were great. Will definitely go back and do them all eventually!
