About
Have you always wanted to solve a mystery or escape from a mad scientist? At Escape Artist Greenville, it's our job to transport you to another world and make you the hero of your own personal adventure. 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.

My wife and I are local to Greenville, and now Escape Artist Greenville is the place we bring all our guests who visit! Our friends from Florida loved the experience so much that it was a "must" when they visited again. Most recently, we completed the Starlight Motel room and it was extremely immersive. Brad and Jack were our game guides and they were AWESOME, and in character the whole time. Every employee we've come in contact with clearly has a passion for their job. We've also done the Classified and Yuletide Magic rooms, which were full of great puzzles throughout the time.

We are escape room enthusiasts having completed over 100 rooms and HELP WANTED is by far the best! We've enjoyed the other rooms at Escape Artist Greenville and they are all excellent, however the owners have created a pure masterpiece with Help Wanted. The room is extremely immersive, very "techy," very few locks, and best of all the use of in-room actors (yes, plural) puts the game over the top. They truly have taken escape rooms to the next level. They're opening two more rooms that will continue in the theme of Help Wanted and we can't wait! We are from out of town and will definitely make a trip to Greenville just to experience what they've "dreamed up" next.

This is our second trip with Escape Artist and it's been a blast both times. This time we did Classified and having been through both this and Starlight Motel and gone to other escape room companies, Escape Artist really shows their creativity, cleverness and the intensity of their games. Emily did an amazing job as our guide with this escape room and really helped with the story as well as gave interesting clues to help us solve our way out.

Josh and Carissa were amazing!!!! My family of 5 did the Starlight Motel room the other night for our family night, and we had an absolute blast. We thought we had an idea of what to expect (because we're done breakout rooms before) but this was SO MUCH BETTER!!! The live acting reallllly added an extra level of fun to this. We felt like our hearts were racing for the whole hour, in a good way. SO much fun, would absolutely recommend to a family or group of friends who doesn't mind being a little scared :)

Becca was such an incredible game master that we played two games back to back. The first was Classified, and the unique puzzles in there were new and really fun. Not much we can say that wouldn't ruin the surprises, so we will leave it at that. Becca's interactions were really fun and amusing. We turned around and played Dr. Fratelli's Cabin, and it was completely different and the change of pace we needed for a second game.
Escape Artist Greenville is uniquely housed in a building that lends itself to many options. These employers, while we never met them, have created an excellent experience that is totally enhanced by Becca -- and I assume their other game masters as well, if she is any indication. Becca patiently answered our repeated calls and switched times to let us play a little earlier than we originally anticipated.
Thanks for a great afternoon of well done puzzles and games. We loved it!

Our family nights spent in an escape room here are so much fun. We most recently completed the Starlight Motel! Becca was our hostess and did an amazing job getting us ready for what was ahead. Audrey was the actress and did an amazing job staying in character and improving during interactions. The room's decor was great at setting a spooky atmosphere, and the puzzles were fun to figure out. I can't wait to go back!

Josh was such an added bonus to our fun evening! They were so accommodating to our group of 5 Ladies. Even though they aren’t open on the night we could all get together they opened just for us!! I asked for his suggestion on an escape room and we had so much fun in the Yuletide Christmas themed room. Josh was a blast and we enjoyed his energy. It was an interactive experience, He was in character and it made the experience rememberable.
Thanks for the adventurous & fun evening!

I went with my family and we had a great time. Ellie and Eden were our hostesses and they made the whole game so engrossing. I’ve been here twice now and it’s one of my favorite group activities around. Well worth the time and price. Not sure why there is only a family/teens and family/young children option. We’re all adults and I’d only recommend the Starlight Motel game for adults.

We had an incredible visit and experience! We (bachelor party of 6) participated in Starlight Motel. It was very immersive and just the right amount of mystery/puzzle. This room required lots of going back and forth, periods of darkness, and jump scares. Our hosts, Isaac and Katelyn (sp?) were fantastic actors and staff members.

We used this as a company evening activity during a workshop event and we were so pleased with the entire experience. Josh was amazing and provided us with a great team-building adventure that we will not soon forget. The Zero to Hero was fabulous and I recommend it to anyone who is looking for team activities that people will actually want to participate in!

Can anyone recommend which room to choose & why?

Definitely the Starlight Motel. You won't just be in a room for an hour trying to figure out how to get out. You will have live actors in there with you and also there are jump scares! It is a great time. Worth every penny!

Depends on you and your group really, but it's hard to go wrong here... My wife and I are experienced with Escape rooms and we either go alone or with another couple we work really well with.
Dr. Fratelli's Cabin -- This was a lot of fun with some very challenging puzzles. We made it out with just the 2 of us, but it was close. The room is rated for up to 5 people (I think) and I think that is pretty accurate, but 2 was enough (barely) for us.
Inventor's Enigma -- We did this as a group of four and found it challenging. I definitely do not think we could have done it with just 2 of us. There is a thing or two in there I found fiddly and did not like as much as the cabin, but that's a pretty minor complaint. It is better than most other Escape Room places.
Fallout -- Fallout is unique in that it pits 2 teams against each other. If you have a group of 8 or more (or six or more if they are experienced) then try to fill both rooms and make it a competition. We did it as a group of four and there was another group doing it at the same time and it really made it shine to have that competition. The puzzles are very good requiring a variety of skills. We made it out in like 40 minutes but the other group was newer to escape rooms and did not quite make it.
Classified -- haven't done it, but sounds great. My wife and I did a 75 and 90-minute rooms while on vacation elsewhere and really enjoyed it. I'm willing to bet that Escape Artists can do it better.
Like I said, you won't go wrong here. They have a great mix of puzzles that will hit on a variety of strengths, cool little elements of theming or engineering, and generally just a lot of fun. We usually use Breakout as our baseline (because they are everywhere and generally good), and all the rooms we have done here are well above average and among the best we have done.
Do you guys do birthday specials?

Hi Arwen! We have a lot of different options for birthdays, including specials and party rental space. We also offer discounts for groups larger than 5. Email us at the email provided on TripAdvisor with details and we can put something special together for you.

So how much are you guys prices because the party of five of us would just be there for about an hour and could I book the room now?
kimescapeartist
Greenville, SC5 contributions
Hi Adrienne! For our one hour Dr. Fratelli and Fallout attractions it would be $25 per person for a group of 5. We also offer a 45 minute escape room, Cotton Owens...The legend returns, that has a price break of $22 per person. If you're interested in booking any of these rooms you can either go onto our website or call us. Thanks for the great question!

So what do we do here-because we are planning a trip to greenville in may for 5 and this seems fun! So can someone please explain to me what we will be doing here?

Our escape rooms are one hour adventures in which you go into our themed rooms (cabin and fallout shelter options) and you solve puzzles, find hidden compartments, use clues along the way to solve the mystery of escaping. It's like to you get to live out a mystery movie! It's great for all ages (under 10 tend to not be able to solve puzzles but enjoy the adventure) and is not scarey nor physically challenging. The best part is that everybody talks and interacts and works together while they're creating great memories.

Trying to find a family activity for my Mom's 75th birthday. We would have 8 people ranging in ages of 11 to 75. Would this be a good fit for this group?

We can always provide you with a chair so that you can sit down at any time. We understand that a full hour of standing can be a little much so we will do anything we can to accommodate you!
