Done many escape rooms with my friends and this place is just amazing! We did classified and it seriously surprised us, easily our new favorite. We had Emily as the Game master and she was super great, she made the experience an 11/10 I highly recommend everyone for escape artists a try, they really put the extra effort into it. Can't wait to visit again when I'm in the area! read more

Escape Artist - Waiting Room. - Escape Games Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

If we could give more than five stars for this review, we definitely would! We chose the cabin and what a heart pounding thriller it was to get through this escape room! Mickey was phenomenal and really got into her character during this! The escape room itself was set up amazing and the the props in this room were off the chart! A new clue to help you succeed is found in very unusual and fun places! It made it so much fun and this experience far out weighed one from earlier in the day at a different location escape room. We are so happy we decided to go ahead and try Escape Artist because we had such a great time and will definitely be back! read more

My family and I did the Starlight Motel, and it was one of the best escape rooms I have ever done (and I have done a fair number)! What really stood out was having the actor in the room with you playing the game. He kept us laughing and gave hints, keeping the flow going when we got stuck. The production value from the sets to the plot was well thought out. I especially loved the jump scares and that the ending (no spoilers) encouraged team bonding! They said they have a second location where all three rooms take place in the same "universe," and you can do them all in one day. That is definitely on my to-do list next time I am back in town! read more

This escape room was a lot of fun! Me and my family decided to try out one of the dream ones and were not disappointed, we laughed a lot solved the puzzles and had a great time! read more

This was hands-down the best escape room I've ever been to! I've done lots in Texas and Colorado, but this one was incredible. Very interactive and high attention to detail. read more

Great experience! Loved the energy from our game host. The room was challenging and fun...best part is that we escaped!

Had an amazing time with Ellie !! She was amazing. I would recommend if you are in the area.

I travel around the country, and sometimes the world, to play the best escape rooms. And Escape Artists Greenville have four that are truly world class--Castle Fluffendor, Dark Lullaby, Help Wanted, and Starlight Motel. These are games that make me happy that I jumped on a jet and flew from Nevada to South Carolina because they are filled with craft and care and adventure. Games like these are the reason I play and they are an absolute blast! read more

We had the absolute best time at Escape Artist today. Quill was our game master and was the best. We tried to escape from Dr. Fratelli's Cabin. The escape room was really well done. Super clever. Customized clues made us feel like the mad doctor was just there the minute before with our names written into the clues with actions we'd just completed. It was so well done and Quill was the greatest. Highly recommend, go as quickly as you can. read more

While visiting friends we decided to do a couple of escapes at this place. I think Dark Lullaby was one of the best rooms we've ever done. The only thing I didn't care for was the fact that it's part of a series and so we had to do the second part which I didn't care for. read more

Amazing staff that helps suggest things and the actors make your experience worthwhile. Very much worth the money and time!

We had NEVER been. We had no idea what to expect. We set out goal to beat the best time posted on the stat board. We had fun, we completed the challenge, we came NOWHERE NEAR TO BEATING THE BEST TIME, but MAN did we have fun. We thought so many things were obviously clues...and they weren't. We sang all the lyrics to every song being played to find the clue... but there were none! And with each mistake we made we laughed like a herd of hyenas. Two hours of challenges, higher order thinking skills, logic, a few frights with bangs and booms and strange noises, but what a great time. Most of us declared we'd come again. The staff who registered us and led us through the mystery were warm and personable and by the time we left we felt like family! If you like fun and interaction and off the wall thinking, by all means give this a try. read more

We did 'Classified' and it was one of the best escape rooms we've ever done. There were many unique puzzles that we had not encountered before. I highly recommend Escape Artist in Greenville downtown - and we will be back. read more

My son and I have done quite a few escape rooms and this is by far the best we have experienced. The actors made it amazing! Totally recommend this place. We drove an hour to visit. read more

We sure did feel the sparkle from doing the Yuletide Magic room! We only had to wait a few minutes after our reservation once our whole party arrived and were immediately greeted by a peppy fella named Luke. Luke was awesome from start to finish, including his unexpected yet rockstar performance in our game scenario to boosting our egos with congratulations at the end of our escape. The room itself was fantastic! We loved the holiday theme; it was challenging, whimsical and creative. We held off asking for clues as much as possible, but of course had to get help, and it's nice that clues are limitless! Definitely would recommend this location and the room. read more

Lots of fun for my son's birthday. CLASSIFIED was age appropriate. Nick was patient with group of boys and very kind!!

We've now completed Inventors Enigma and Classified and had a great time in both rooms. They were well themed, challenging without being impossibly frustrating, and fun! We don't live in Greenville but will be back to visit these escape rooms again. Becca was our GM both times and fantastic to work with. read more

My family took on The Inventor's Enigma room today to my son's birthday. It was run by a nice fellow named Luke. From the first moment Luke burst into the waiting room he made it fun and interesting. We showed up early after our lunch but was welcomed in--they were able to kick off the escape a bit early. The creative challenges in the rooms kept our party of five working hard together and separately nearly the whole hour. We actually solved it with 2:07 to spare. We had help with a few tips on where to go next but without spoiling the fun. At the end we were excited to place the final pieces into place as we realized that we were successful! Overall, we all had a great time. We will certainly be back. read more

This place was awesome!! We did the Starlight Motel and definitely recommend it. The in room actor, Connor did an amazing job at freaking us out. I screamed like 5 times!!! The staff were very friendly and the room was insane. It had so many different pathways and crawl spaces! (If you do this room, make sure you don't get scared easily. It's very frightening!) read more

Ellie was wonderful. She was kind and enthusiastic! She understood us. Our first escape room was totally awesome.

This was the most family friendly escape room we have ever been to. The staff were amazing, friendly, and helpful.

Came here for a team building event while in town for business. I have been to a couple of other "Escape Rooms" and this one definitely was on par to be in the top experiences. We had a pretty large group split into 2 teams for "The Fallout" experience. Even though my team didn't win I thought it was a good experience and enjoyed the puzzles. I would recommend giving it a try. Only negative for me was the parking. Our large group followed another large group and when we arrived we had to get creative on parking. It didn't help the other group was in the middle of the lot talking and didn't seem to want to move out of the way. read more

Super fun experience! We did the Starlight motel that is scary and recommended for 14 years old and up. It's jumpy but also love that there is multiple rooms you go in. There is also an interactive actor that improvs during the experience too. It was very immersive and would highly recommend it again! read more

For our very first game room experience, The Starlight Motel set the bar extremely high! From the tiniest details to the in room actor, everything was amazing. We were thoroughly immersed in the game with lots of twists and turns and jump scares! Jack, Drake and Caitlin were incredible. They made the entire experience believable and extremely fun! Especially Jack! His improve as our in-room actor was quick witted and hilarious! Thank you Escape Artist! You made our first escape room experience one we'll never forget. We'll definitely be back! read more

We worked with Emily and did the Cabin room. The puzzles encouraged team work. They also had two nice features in the [redacted] and [redacted]. Emily did well in character and I will definitely be back to try the other rooms. read more

I already wrote a review but for my pure excitement to go back I am writing another review. When we went we did the room that is the horror one for 16- older. Highly, highly recommend. In this room there is a live actor in the room the entire time. We have drake. He was super funny and awesome to talk to by far my favorite part of the escape room( btw he needs a raise). The escape room was challenging and very fun. There is also a couple creative jumpscares. The other person who we had was Josh who made it seem very realistic in the beginning( he also needs a raise). I usually do not write reviews but because of how amazing the room was I had to. And if you do an escape room you HAVE to do this one. read more

Super fun! i went with my school for a school trip. 10/10 escape games and 10/10 hospitality. super nice people and fun games. tons of different escape games to choose from! would recommend to everyone who asks read more

This was amazing!! We did my dads 60th birthday party here last night and had the best time ever. We started upstairs in their event space with drinks and appetizers. They allow you to bring in your own catering and we got everything set up in their perfectly sized space for our party. We then moved to doing The Lift. It is a 10 minute easier version of their escape rooms. Even though we had a hard time with it haha! The escape room we picked was The Fallout. It is a competitive room designed for two teams to compete in the same set up escape room but just in different actual rooms. We had the best time finding clues and really worked so well as a team together. I just loved the entire experience. After the rooms we went back up and ate dinner. It was all in all just a really great experience. The staff was so helpful from planning to execution. Thank you so much to the Escape Artist staff for everything! read more

Hands down the best Escape Room experience our family has ever had! Josh and Eden were superb hosts. Wish we had not waited until the last day we were in town, as we would have returned to try all their games. Fantastic immersive experience, like no other. read more

We had a fun time and the escape room was a lot of fun and challenging. We were able to get out of the room with about 2 minutes to spare.

So much fun!! We went with a group of 6 and completed The Starlight Hotel. The Starlight Hotel is a mix of haunted house meets escape room. Issac and Josh really made the experience thrilling, exciting and fun. There were screams and laughter though out our hour. Definitely a must do while in Greenville SC! read more

This is probably the best escape room experience I've ever had. We did the Starlight Motel and Audrey and Josh were our host. SO MUCH FUN! I went with my husband Kyle, my mom and brother and we just had a blast. It was very spooky, and.... are these Hollywood actors because they got into character so well! 10/10 would recommend to a friend. read more

We heard great things about Escape Artist Greenville so we decided to make the drive northward to check them out. My wife and I have done a lot of escape rooms (85+) so we are a little picky... but Escape Artist Greenville turned out to be one of the best escape room companies we have ever been to. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcome thanks to our friendly host/gamemaster Josh. Rooms we did: 1) Classified // 2) The Lift (10 minute experience) // 3) Starlight Motel - Classified: We were a little worried that this room might just be another cookbook "Spy Theme" that we've done way too many times... it was not. It was a completely unique "theme" that I won't spoil... but it was a lot of fun. The gamemastering team of Josh + Felix was among the best we've ever had. This room perfectly combined an immersive environment, great mental and physical puzzles, exciting moments that got our heart racing, and lighthearted fun that had us laughing throughout the adventure. - The Lift: The lift was a great short duration experience (10 mins or less) that is definitely worth checking out, especially if you have some time in between escape rooms. It has a fun/creepy vibe without being overly scary. Small physical footprint with multiple surprises. - Starlight Motel: One of the best rooms we have ever done. Incredible immersion both in terms of the room design and thanks to our in-game actress Audrey. For those cursed with introversion/apprehensive about having an in-game actress/actor... do this room. This is the perfect example of how an in-game actress/actor can really add to the experience without being intrusive/annoying/making the experience less comfortable. I can not stress enough how amazing Audrey was- she stayed in character without fault and added humor, immersion, and excitement to the experience. The hint system is completely in theme- literally nothing breaks the immersion of the experience. If you can handle a decent dose of scary, this room is a must. If not, this room might be 2spooky4U. Though we have played a small number of escape rooms that match the high quality of room design at Escape Artist Greenville, we have never had gamemasters as great as Josh and Audrey. Their enthusiasm, positive energy, and obvious commitment to providing a great experience made our visit to Escape Artist Greenville one we will never forget. read more

this is the 4th room we have done with Escape Artist and they never fail to entertain us and challenge us!!! Mathew (?) and our hostess were so awesome!!!! she gave us her name but im old so it's on me!!! they made the experience even better than I could imagine. this was a new location for us at Hampton Station so we made a day of it for my daughters bday!!! thank you for helping make it great!!!!!!! will be back! read more

Take it from an avid escape room enthusiast, if you're in Greenville, you have to play Starlight Motel. The atmosphere is perfect. Puzzles are well integrated, varied, and matched the theme, and there were some great A-Ha moments. This was my 69th room and one of my favorites. read more

I received a trip to Escape Artist as a wonderful birthday gift to play with a group of amazing friends. What a great gift! We had a blast solving several puzzles in Dr. Fratelli's Cabin but ultimately falling short at the end. Fun, innovative, creative. The room was well done and our clue guru, Audrey, was kind, fun, and tremendously helpful. If you attend the Escape Artist you may not escape the room but you will definitely escape boredom. Great fun! read more

This is probably the most fun I've had in a long time in Greenville, SC. My husband and I just went in for a date night on my birthday today and we had a blast. The Fallout description online didn't do the place justice. We weren't sure which one to choose, but we are so glad we picked this nuclear time bomb. Not only was it challenging and intriguing but it was also explosive with the dramatic sound effects and props that were placed all over the room. When we went in we had no idea it would have us hooked with only one game. We will be coming back to book with our host Makayla and with a larger group hopefully so that we can crack the code and break out this time before the "bomb" goes off! Lol (Sidenote: that ish was super scary and caught us both off guard when smoke filled the room lol Priceless!) If you're looking for something different to do than movies or the bar, this is a very couple friendly/ group friendly / family friendly activity. It's truly a gem in our city!! read more

Attended an Official Yelp event at the Escape Artist. Our group of 8 used our skills to get out of Dr. Fratelli's cabin. I love all the puzzles that you had to solve to get out. We made it out of the room with only a few minutes to spare. We had so much fun!!! They have several different rooms you can try and see if you're smart enough to figure out the clues and escape. I definitely want to come back and try the other rooms. Dan the man and everyone from the Escape Artist were all nice. This is a great place to challenge your families and friends. And would be a great place for a team building with coworkers. Keep up the good work... Can't wait to come back :) read more

We did "Fallout" room with all of our family members (this is the only room that accommodates large amount of people. However, you do have to split up into 2 teams and compete with each other.) Even our skeptical and not too excited about this experience people looooved it! It was so much fun and we kept on talking about this experience over and over again. It's great to do with competitive people because only one team wins. The room is challenging but fun. Good thing they give you unlimited amount of tips/clues. We definitely needed them even though we have smart people in the family. Lol. But if you get a clue, the other team gets it too, to keep it fair. Everything from the lobby, to the room, to the "host" Josh were amazing!! We had great experience and would try to "escape" from other rooms for sure! Update: we liked it so much that we came back the next day and did a different room - "Inventor's Enigma." read more

My family and another family (eleven in total) went as a group to Escape Artist today. The kids did Dr. Fratelli's Cabin, and the parents did The Inventor's Enigma. Audrey and Alex ran our escape rooms and did a fabulous job! You can tell they're passionate about escape rooms and love their jobs. They were so friendly and energetic! When the kids group finished first, they even let us see in the control room to watch the parents finish. Thanks for yet another great experience! read more
