The Starlight Motel

Wow, wow, wow! What a stay! 🏨🔑 This was truly a five-star escape room experience—although, given the circumstances, I’m not sure I’d recommend staying the night. This room may not have an abundance of puzzles, but it definitely has plenty to keep you busy. And the set design? Absolutely phenomenal. Easily some of the best I’ve seen so far. The attention to detail made the whole experience feel incredibly immersive. This was also my first escape room with an actor in the room, and I’ll admit I was a little skeptical at first. But they were so professional and convincing in their role that I quickly checked those doubts out at the front desk. It added an awesome layer to the experience! I especially loved how the room seemed to expand as we uncovered more clues, making it feel like there was always another room—or another surprise—waiting for us. All in all, this was a killer stay. We came to check in, solve some puzzles, and hopefully check out alive… and somehow, we managed to do all three! I absolutely cannot wait to book another stay with this business. 10/10 would check in again—assuming they let us leave next time. 🗝️🏨

Omg - that was so much fun! I would pay to just hang out with Connor! He made this experience. Although a spooky experience with some jump scares, we laughed so much. One of my all time favorites!

This room was more story-driven than puzzle-driven. The puzzles were decent but fairly straightforward, and there wasn’t a lot to do compared to other escape rooms. If you enjoy immersive storytelling and atmosphere, you’ll likely appreciate the experience more than those looking for a puzzle-heavy challenge.

I have waited 3 years to do this room and I absolutely loved every second of room. The ambience and immersive atmosphere was amazing. Set design and puzzles were some of the most creative that I have ever seen. I loved interacting with the live actor was super cool and fun. I just loved everything about this room and it exceeded all of my expectations. 100% in my top 5 rooms of all time. I will never forget this room. Our guide Conner was amazing as well and really made our experience the best it could be.

I’m still in awe of how incredible this experience was. Thomas (as Lou) made this game even more incredible for us. The design was so well thought out, the puzzles were incredible, and I was so immersed in this story. It definitely got my heart racing because I was SO in it! Thank you, Escape Artist Greenville Downtown and Hampton Station for hosting us for 7 of your games in 2 short days. We had a blast!

That was such a fun room!! Well done guys! Top 10 rooms we have ever played and we have played over 100!

Starlight Motel is essentially a full horror thriller movie starring YOU! I should say that our team of 2 hates jumpscares, loathes horror, and fears scary rooms. I can also say that we LOVED this room full of all those things! Everything that happened was an unforgettable moment, from our role-play chats with the live actor hotel manager, exploring the unknown in the dark dingy sketchy motel rooms, and experiencing one of the most thrilling cinematic moments I’ve ever had. Again, we hate scary and found the scares manageable. We pretty much laughed after every scare, and even tried to hold in our smiles during what is arguably the most frightening, triggering part. We will never forget the finale. This is a must-do room, even if you’re a coward like us. If you’re coming in from out of town, book your night at the Starlight Motel! I enjoyed my stay here, and give this motel 5 stars on Yelp!

We couldn’t end our time in Greenville without doing this room. Several reviews described this room as immersive theatre where you engage/improv with an actor the whole time. I wouldn’t say that’s accurate. You definitely have your space to gain ground in the puzzles where you are left alone. And I was satisfied with the volume/quality of puzzles, at that. Still, being a horror room…with the expected jump scares, it kept us on edge but as with dark lullaby it wasn’t that bad on that aspect either. Needless to say, should you be able to stomach the tense atmosphere, a must play at this location.

Great escape room. It was different than any other we have done because there was actor in the game with you. A few jump scares as well. Highly recommend

Very 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.
