Do you like spooky? Do you like spoopy??? Then you should experience Dark Lullaby. I'd recommend this room to anyone who likes scary escape rooms. It nails it. The room design was detailed and immersive. It kept me in a constant state of unease. And of course, I have to gush about the actors!!! Their timing and intensity were spot on. It added a whole new layer of thrill to the puzzles and challenges. It was both scary and exciting. I found myself laughing one moment and jumping and screaming the next. If I could drink a forgetfulness potion so I could do this room all over again, I'd drink it without question. I'd even recommend this room to someone who doesn't like scary because it's such a great experience. This is my favorite of the three rooms at this location. What can I say? I'm a sucker for scary.
The whole experience was a blast. The puzzles weren't too challenging, but the experience was fun, and that's the most critical key to any escape room. There were a few instances where I didn't notice something happening after completing a puzzle, but that could have easily been my unease keeping me from seeing what happened. Luckily, the staff kept things moving in a great direction, so I never lost that sense of being immersed.
Just. Wow. It's a vibe. It's something creepy for everyone. I wish I could go back and just stare at some of the details of the room.
Best staff interactions/Customer service I've had at an escape room. I never felt I was working with someone who had "checked out" for the day. They were in it 110% from the beginning to the end. And I was there for around 5 hours. It's incredibly impressive and super appreciated. Big shoutout to Conner, Ellie, Mattew, Mickey, and Nick. Everybody was super helpful and welcoming. Best escape room customer service I've ever had.

After a lot of reflection, this room is probably my favorite of three rooms offered by Escape Artist Greenville at this location. This was not an easy choice considering how impressive they all are. This room had just the right amount of spooky flare - the sound design and lighting did an excellent job maintaining a creepy atmosphere, the set design fit the story perfectly, and the live actor offered some much needed comedic relief. I've done quite a few spooky rooms at this point, and I think Dark Lullaby is up there with the best of them. I highly recommend doing all three rooms at this location, if possible. They all take place in the same universe, and I appreciate the work they've done to make them all feel cohesive. I highly recommend this room and the others.
The gameplay featured multiple distinct locations and the puzzles were not entirely linear which made it a lot of fun. The gameplay flowed pretty well. There were a couple of instances where there were atmospheric cues that something had happened, but what that thing was wasn't always clear to us. The live actor though did a great job nudging us in the right direction though without breaking character allowing us to remain full immersed.
Everything in the room felt super coherent. From the artwork to the sound and light design, everything was fantastic.
The staff here was amazing - Connor, Ellie, Mattew, Mickey, Nick. Everyone was incredibly kind and welcoming. We were there for nearly 5 hours and I don't think I saw any of them out of character.

The set design on this room was incredible. So many cool spaces. A total of 5 different “areas” you go into (albeit some are very small). And the transition/experience from room one to two had my jaw on the floor. Our in-room actor was amazing and so so funny. It’s a “creepy” room but I would say they are also comedic to lighten the mood a bit. There were a few puzzles in this one that had me saying “wow” and were so unique. Definitely an amazing company. Would put this behind starlight motel, but is a close competitor.
Be aware that the “Lobby” is part of the experience too, so don’t do what we did and call them saying we couldn’t find the place because when we walked in the lobby it was empty and for “Chimera” 🤣lol

8/10 Escape Artist Greenville know how to scare you because this room got the hairs on my back standing on end multiple times. This room will keep a small group busy with its puzzles, have you on your toes the entire experience, and surprise you in the most excellent ways.

So much like Starlight Motel, I'll say this wasn't one of my favorites, which is crazy because note all the awards. I still liked it, but similar to Motel, this is as much as "experience". Definitely more puzzles than Motel and if you do all the rooms here, the overarching storyline fits in perfectly, but this story is chilling. There are some SCARY moments and the set is just amazing. It's still a must-do!
A nice flow.
Amazing!! No spoilers, but the set is HUGE!! How is this all indoors??
So wonderful!!

This room executes everything I love in an escape room to the most excellent degree. The sound design is outstanding using new technology that increases the immersive elements that I have never seen used outside of theater. The production and set keeps you on your toes and it's surprising where the nightmare will lead. The actor is a chaos figure that is at times helpful, frightening, and comical. The pacing keeps every player engaged. There are a lot of puzzles to solve. The room experience starts with a haunting whisper and ends with freeing scream; and we loved every second in between. Truly, after thinking about it for a week, out of all the escape rooms I've played in the US, this might be my favorite one in the country.

“Dark Lullaby contained one of the most unique and immersive starts to a game I’ve ever experienced. “
