What a wonderful performance of "A Christmas Carol!" Standing ovation!!! It was better then The Nutcracker at The Peace Center. The theatre seats approximately 500 people so no seat is bad or obstructed. The theme was close to the musical done with Albert Finney in 1970 and one of my favorites. Can't wait to go back for upcoming events.

It was the first experience in a breakout/escape room for six of the eight members in our group, including me. The game and the room was set-up and explained well by a helpful game manager. We all felt comfortable and had a blast. We were in the "Kidnapped" room and didn't set any speed records in our escape. We escaped with only 36 seconds left and enjoyed the exciting game. You must have this experience when visiting beautiful downtown Greenville ,SC

We are Greenville's original escape room, and we're the only one in town that designs and develops our own custom games and puzzles. That means you won't find these adventures anywhere else! We pride ourselves on detailed sets and stories that transport you to an alternate time and place. We call it "full immersion" and that makes the experience even more fun for you and your group. Our theme-based puzzles are challenging, fun, and carefully crafted with minute attention to detail. This attraction is family-friendly, appropriate for most ages (the puzzles are designed for Middle School and above) and most of all, it is fun. Convenient parking behind the building and enter in the front.

WOW is all I can say! I'd been putting off going here only because it is about a 6 hour drive from us and was never in our path when traveling. We were surely missing out! We did 12 rooms on this trip, and 3 of them were here. Starlight Motel was the highlight of all the rooms we did of the 12... perfect blend of excellent puzzles, atmosphere, jump scares, comedy, and acting. The interaction between our team and the actress/GM was superb. This is a room NOT to miss! We then did Classified..another stellar room for all of the reasons above - minus jump scares. What we loved about this room was how original the theme was! Lastly my partner suggested we do a 3rd (which REALLY shows me they set the bar high because he NEVER suggests we "do another". Inventor's Enigma was very fun as well, very tough for two people, but we plowed our way through it with a (lot of) help from our excellent GM. We cannot wait to go back!
