Classified: Operation Nine Lives

This was a great cat themed room! There should be more of these out there! The beginning of the room started like no other escape room I have done so far! You will adore this if you like cats!!

Classified was an objectively simple room that was elevated with extremely clever theming, puzzles that were pure fun, and an inability to take itself too seriously. This was a late add to our trip but absolutely a worthwhile one, and I’d recommend this as an extra room if you are coming to Greenville to play all of EA’s premium experiences.

So cute, unique and fun! We loved the puzzles and the fun theme of the room that had us cracking up!

Very cute for all ages, unique/fun/hilarious puzzles at times. The ending could be more interesting but still, overall, a fun room anybody can enjoy!

My personal favorite at this location because of the ridiculous plotline. It's cat lady meets James Bond humor, with unique feline-themed puzzles, and I'm here for all of it. Bummer that it's so short! My personal ranking of the 5 games at the downtown location as of August '25: 1. Classified: Operation Nine Lives (just too silly not to be my #1 here. No flaws, but it's too easy with 4, I think.) 2. Starlight Motel (excellent flow and plotting, tight with good acting moments, puzzles were just OK - a superior game to Classified, but silliness wins :) ) 3. Yuletide Magic (fun, surprisingly good puzzles and Christmasy vibes) 4. Dr. Fratelli's Cabin (Very (too) easy! A great puzzle toward the end. Good beginner game... or solo game. We finished in 24 mins as 4 people. Skippable if you're low on time) 5. Inventor's Enigma (A unique puzzle at the end, but most puzzles were a bit simple. Relatively easy overall, might be a good beginner room. Skippable if you're low on time.)

The beginning of this room was very cool and had an interaction I haven’t experienced in a room before. The room itself is cat themed and has a pretty lighthearted and funny vibe which was nice. It had multiple puzzles that involved the whole team which I liked as well.

We enjoyed this room. The first act was unique in our experience and lasted JUST long enough-- any more would have overstayed its welcome. While we appreciated that act (especially its finale), I think we enjoyed the rest of the puzzles in that space even more. Some really nice teamwork puzzles, and the theme was amusing. On the critical side, the room's setup made no sense (we're newly-minted secret agents sent in to... poison an old lady at dinner in her apartment? What?). A very simple change in the finale interface (changing buttons from press-and-hold to toggle) would have made it much easier for us to determine the correct course of action. And the whole Escape Artist building, including this room, just felt icky to be in.

A fun spoof that is Mission Impossible through the whiskered lens of cats. We had a great time playing it.

Great room! Meowtastic!

Very fun and easy room! Great room for beginners!
