(100% fact!) Now, age-old rumors of a sightings and a hidden laboratory have been uncovered in downtown Columbus - has the "Wizard of Menlo Park" left a trail of clues for someone to find and follow? The Mission: Locate the lab, if possible, find the hidden device, and activate it. The Challenge: Solve the mystery within 60 minutes. The Twist: Once the machine is powered on and activated, will someone be there to communicate with you? Book your investigation today and see if you can solve the legend!

The room is great for two players, the two of us finished within an hour. We were a bit rusty, but the hints were so thematic we didn't feel guilty for using them! The game master really cares about the player experience, and the immersion is spot on from the moment you arrive

Great atmosphere, excellent performance by the GM working into part of the experience. Puzzles were fun and intuitive and easy to figure out in the flow of the game. Rocked this room with our group and set the fastest time to date (could have been faster if we didnt ignore some obvious things). Enough red herring bits to throw you off the trail too, but still stay immersed in the atmosphere and gameplay. Magic Escape Rooms are some of the best I've ever been in and well worth the trip. Both his rooms are great!

You are literally immersed in the story from the start right to the end.

So many unique "inventions" and props in this one. Great engineering by the GM.

Would rate the room as hard. Not the hardest ever, but we were on point and crushed it.

GM functions as a live actor before getting into the room, then proceeds to immerse as such when providing hints if needed.

No

Fairly confusing to find, but much better labeled now than used to be. No outside signage, but once you enter the building you can find your way.

Great story from start to end where the puzzles made sense to the theme and story. We came back to Columbus to try out this room as it wasn’t built when we did their Houdini’s Secret. Puzzle elements were new and creative. Would definitely recommend their rooms.

Magic Escape Rooms never disappoints! I love how the game starts as soon as you get off the elevator. You can tell the owner puts a lot of thought into his storyline and build of the space. Highly recommend for all levels.

We had a blast! I played with my partner and we got to play both of the rooms back to back, we thoroughly enjoyed the stories, set, and really cool puzzles! Our GM helped us with lots of small nudges, and walked us through some puzzles when we were getting really close on time.

on the website it says to “pay attention to the story” and that’s no lie! rushing through the puzzles got us tripped up on a number of things!

I really appreciate the feedback on Morty! It's a win to host 2 players who love escape rooms and also thoroughly enjoy the stories and atmosphere we’ve crafted for both our Gen 3 missions. We purposely moved away from traditional 'puzzle-centric' formats to create an experience where the narrative leads the way. It’s rewarding to hear that the immersion felt seamless across both the Edison and Magician rooms, and that you enjoyed the non-traditional intro. Thank you for choosing our downtown Columbus immersive adventures. I hope to see you two again in the future! Best, Louis, Magic Escape Rooms
