A Fairy Tale With a Job for Your Team to Do
Escape Artist describes Castle Flüffendor as a whimsical quest to a cozy kingdom, where you join forces with the citizens of the castle to save the princess. In our game, the goal was to help wake up the sleeping princess, who is a muppet, which I thought was hilarious.
It is one of Escape Artist’s “premium” experiences, which means it uses multiple actors and larger, more elaborate sets and puzzles. It also shares a world with the Chimera Corp rooms at the same location, Help Wanted and Dark Lullaby. If your family ends up loving it, the venue offers The Chimera Corp Saga, which strings all three games together with a bonus ending.
Why It Works So Well for Middle Schoolers
Escape rooms can feel like a teen-or-grown-up thing, but this one is built for the in-between age. My two tweens were hooked by the cute story and the puzzles right off the bat, and nothing in the room is scary. For a whimsical, creative activity that really does test problem-solving skills, it is hard to beat.
It is also a great team-building and friendship-building activity. It is fun to work together to solve the challenges, and that is really the heart of the game. If you are looking for an indoor outing for friends or just your own crew, that part is a big win.
Tip: If you get stuck, you are not on your own. Help comes from one of the characters in the room, which makes getting stumped a lot more fun than frustrating.
Inside the Room
Every detail has been thought out, and the owners have made the room so much fun and so age-appropriate. There are several rooms within the one room, and secret keys and puzzles open each one up as you go, so there is always a new space to discover.
I will not spoil any puzzles, but I will say it pays to look closely at everything. The sets are packed with little touches that reward curious kids (and curious adults). I was continually amazed at the absolute creativity and innovation throughout the whole experience. I never knew what to expect but was excited to see what the next steps were because they were all so interesting and fun.
My Honest Take as the Grown-Up Along for the Ride
Even though the room is meant for middle schoolers, I had an absolute blast. I kept finding myself trying to figure things out right alongside the kids, and that is the best kind of family outing: everyone is working on the same problem and nobody is bored.
I also love that Escape Artist Greenville is a local business. It is obvious the team has spent an enormous amount of time, energy, and creativity making these games, and it shows in every corner of this room.
