This was a pretty fun game where your team is split in two at the beginning, though you do join together pretty soon after. It's fun getting to interact across rooms where you don't have perfect knowledge of what the other person is seeing. Beyond that the room isn't too hard. There were some parts broken when I did the room, which was kind of a let down, and overall the room wasn't too hard. We even solved some parts without knowing how, which I personally find to be somewhat of a let down. Fun room overall though, and great set design!

This is my personal favorite of The Escape Game rooms and I strongly recommend it. The set design is awesome and the story is engaging as well. The room itself was not too hard, but was still fun to progress through the different stages. On the whole I feel all of The Escape Game rooms are fairly easy and this continues that trend, which isn't a bad thing. Definitely a strong recommendation for beginners or those who just want to have a good time.

This was a fairly difficult room that has a number of things going for it. Definitely some novel puzzles and parts to get excited about. That being said, if you do this room, have a keen eye for detail. I'm personally not the greatest of noticing small things and that came back to bite us. Also there may be some parts that are hard for larger people / those with disabilities. On the whole an all right room on the better end of the offerings in Columbus

This was a pretty good room, definitely on the easier side of things. Great option for beginners and people who are new to doing escape rooms, though it may set the bar pretty high for future escape rooms as the production value was very high. The puzzles themselves were all right, and there was a large variety of challenges. There were a good number of puzzles though that I found to be not that interesting, and were actually somewhat frustrating as it took a lot of attention to details. We figured out what to do, but the slowness of the pattern was annoying to wait through, especially if you missed something and had to watch everything over again.

This is a fairly simple room though the theme makes it a little scary. No live actors or anything like that, but just the theme and lighting makes it feel pretty creepy. The puzzles themselves are fairly doable and easy to breeze through so I think smaller groups would be able to do this and still have a lot of fun. Our GM was a little proactive in giving us clues, which wasn't the worst, but definitely kept us moving quickly which may not have been super necessary since we had over 20 minutes left at the end anyways.

This was a fun room that I did with some friends. Nothing too out of the ordinary here, and there was one puzzle that we got through brute force, and our GM was not able to explain as well. That being said, the puzzles themselves were pretty fun and I would recommend this room to others. Nothing too challenging aside from that one puzzle and has a good amount of exploring the room to find clues which is a nice breath of fresh air compared to more combo locks.

This was a game with no combination locks or keys so we were pretty excited to give it a try. The hardest part of this game was the lighting, everything is super dim and you only two lanterns to help you see the walls, and trust me, you will need to see everything around you. Some things felt a little jank also, but on the whole the experience was fairly clever. Definitely stood out amid the escape room scene in Columbus, but not one that I would strongly recommend to any friends either.

This was a pretty crazy room from a thematic stand point and it was pretty exciting as you progress through the escape adventure. That being said the quality definitely seemed to take a hit as you went on. The puzzles themselves were fairly mechanical and not particularly interesting. In fact I would even say that they were mostly tedious and did not take a lot of ingenuity. They were tough not because they required out of the box thinking, but more tedious (think counting letters and words). Although I would recommend this room for the theme, I would not recommend the experience as a whole.

This is my favorite room that I have done with Breakout Games and it makes me sad that it is no longer available. That being said it was a very engaging room with a lot of clever ways for using the props. This had me constantly being excited because I felt like I was being mentally stimulated in new ways as I had to think outside the box. Definitely a lot of fun and changes up the script from your classic combo locks and keys (though there are some of those as well). Sadly I ran out of time before finishing (one of the last puzzles was long and we kept messing up near the end which was sad), but on the whole had a great time and would recommend this room to anyone who can find it at their other locations such as in Cincinnati.
