This was our first time doing something like this, and with family coming in from out-of-town, it was the best of times. Our game master Mark was amazing. He was kind, polite, engaging and helpful. His attitude and energy ensured we will be back again. I must say however, that the receptionist Alex was none on the above. She was actually quite rude and uninviting; didn't smile, barely spoke, and when she did, it was with the nastiest face and attitude. We all actually thought that that was how the rest of the night would be. Mark fortunately changed that. You all have a great business, but from one business owner to another, she is not helping your business. read more

My sister and I were kiddnapped yesterday. Unfortunately we failed to escape but that's not due to the game it's self lol we just weren't smart enough to figure out all the clues. We did come pretty close though. Our game master was very helpful with the clues he gave us. I would most definitely recommend this place to others and if I'm ever back in the area, I'd love to play the different escapes! read more

Breakout Games - So close yet so far - Escape Games Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

I loved the Mystery Mansion! Many twists I wouldn't have imagined. Our game master, Ryan, was great! His hints allowed us to keep moving without feeling like we were giving up. I will definitely come back to try the other rooms! read more

Seriously the most fun you can have with a group of people! The staff here is so much fun and very professional. Haven't encountered a room that I haven't liked! read more

Our family has done two breakout rooms together and they both were so much fun! The rooms are clean and the clues and puzzles are the perfect level of difficulty. Our game master for Casino Royale, Austin, was fantastic. After our game he explained some of the clues that stumped us and took time afterwards to talk to us about other rooms. We're already planning our next visit! read more

Really enjoyed our escape room and had a great time as family. The creativity in the room was amazing. The puzzles were challenging but doable. Our game master, Ashby, made sure we had a good time. Would highly recommend this location. Look forward to doing this again. read more

I came here with a group of friends, and it ended up being one of my favorite things to do in Columbus! A great go to when you aren't sure what to do on a Friday or Saturday night! We did Kidnapping, and it was amazing! You are blindfolded before you walk in the room, and then while blindfolded, you are handcuffed in the room. All of this adds to the anxiety and adrenaline you feel as you race to break out of the room. We were able to escape with 4 seconds to spare, and it was an amazing experience!! Thanks Breakout Games! read more

I thought this was a fantastic way to do date night. However, we didn't end up solving everything... but that's okay. This is definitely an activity that requires more than two people. However, even thought it was more difficult with just my boyfriend and I, it was still tons of fun. We did the Meuesm Heist room. I am not sure about doing the ones where your blindfolded and handcuffed. This was a really fun way to send an hour and work together. read more

This was truly an awesome experience! The staff were very accommodating. Although the rooms were designed for eight people, they allowed 10 of us to play together. I will say, the game was extremely challenging. We did not finish in the time allotted. In fact, we probably needed another two hours, LOL. They only have a success rate of approximately 35%. So, be prepared to be challenged! Overall, super fun and a great team building exercise. read more

I took my 13 year old daughter and 6 of her friends for her birthday. This was everyone's first time in an escape room we started with the museum heist...it was tough but fun. I was worried about being trapped in a room with six 13 year olds....i survived. The room was big enough for all of us, the clues were clever and thematic. The props were neat and the codes caused some very cool things to happen. We had so much fun. Our game-master Jessie was great with us!!! The girls asked for LOTS of clues lol and Jessie remained patient and helped when they didn't quite understand what was going on. We didn't breakout but it was so fun! The girls can't wait to go back now that they understand how this all works! I am excited to go back too! read more

I have now completed two escape rooms at Breakout, and both have been a lot of fun. We did the Casino Royale in September with Alex as our game master. And last night we went and did the Kidnapping room with John Kelley as our game master. Both game masters were wonderful. They were helpful when needed. I feel as though it would be very difficult to complete the rooms without the game masters help, but that's one of the reasons they are there. They are helpful without giving away the answers. We have gone both times with a group of friends as a private event. I'm not sure how I would feel if I was with complete strangers, but I quite enjoy it with friends. The facility is nice and the escapes are challenging and interesting. Kidnapping had my adrenaline up more than Casino Royale did, but both were enjoyable. I look forward to completing the other two escapes in the future! read more

Eric was great! Totally challenges your brain and creativity to a new level and is so fun.

We did this the day of a bachelorette party! We had 22 people in 3 rooms and it was awesome! My group did the Museum heist. It was challenging for sure, and we probably wouldn't have made it out without the gamemaster hints. With 1.5 minutes to spare we escaped! I definitely want to do another now that I know what to expect/look for! read more

I've gone as a couple and I've gone with my whole family--both times it was so much fun!!

This place was so much fun!! We're here from New Jersey for the weekend and decided to do this and it was so worth it. We did the Runaway Train room--super challenging, but the satisfaction of to solving the puzzles (with 20 seconds to spare lol) made the experience incredibly enjoyable. You get unlimited clues and the employees are super helpful. Definitely would recommend to anyone! read more

Really cool place, so many details are put into each escape room. If you can figure out how to reach the next point of the escape room the game master will give you clues. You can ask for them at any time. Definitely check it out, so worth it! read more

Our game master Cameron was very nice and helpful throughout the entire game. We didn't "breakout" but had a blast trying and we will definitely be going back again soon! read more

Ryan was great!! Definitely would come back whenever I am in town. So fun and challenging!

First time experience, so nothing to compare to, but had a great time in the Hostage room. The three of us started slow (not really knowing how to start) and the early delay probably was the reason we did not get out on time. Clues and red herrings were interesting. We had the solution to get out, but did not have time to implement it. Close but no cigar. read more

Had an amazing time once again here!! I've been to 3 of their rooms and all were awesome and fun! I have been to multiple escape room companies and honestly Breakout and one that is not in Ohio are my favorite read more

We had a great time and will definitely go back. Ryan was a great game master/ clue giver as we were there for the first time...and were kinda "clueless"!!! read more

I took my out of town family there for a fun trip. From the beginning to end the service what's top notch. The staff was super. We had 2 children in our group 6 and 10. The staff suggested certain rooms that would be more suited for the kids! The check in process was quick. The instructions given prior to starting the escape were easy to understand for all parties in our room. We will return. read more

Super fun and challenging! The staff was extremely helpful and enhanced the experience. Our group ranged from 13-71 years old and we needed everyone's input to escape. We all had an awesome time! read more

The absolute best thing to do on a Friday night with friends!!! Super high production quality for the price!! High quality and super fun night for a reasonable price. The "moderator" of our game was absolutely awesome (thanks Ryan). A mixture of the high quality fun and super friendly staff makes me want to come back every weekend! read more

This was so much fun to do! We brought our 2 boys ages 11 and 13 and we loved it. Staff is friendly and the facility is very clean. Highly recommend! read more

This was a great experience! The gentlemen did a great job explaining the activity. I would highly recommend this for a fun day/evening out. read more

I highly recommend doing this!! So much fun, we took my in-laws and 2 boys (8 and 10), everyone loved it, FYI we did the "casino room", heard the "Christmas room" is great too! Fun and different activity for family and friends, my husband took his team from work as well. read more

What a great experience! We did the Museum heist and it was tough!! We didn't break out but had a ton of fun trying!! Truthfully, I didn't want to go to the breakout game but so glad I did! This was my first experience and I will definitely go back. The employee helping us also did a great job. He was very friendly and helpful. He would give clues that made us think without giving answers so it still challenged us. I would highly recommend going! read more

I have done over 20 escape rooms in Columbus area and Breakout consistently has fun and challenging rooms that keep me coming back as they update and bring in new rooms. read more

We reserved 6 out of 8 spots. Breakout Games offers a 15 minute grace period to enter a game. I called at 13 minutes late to apologize for being late, 4 of the 6 of us arrived and were first in line at 15 minutes late, the other 2 arrived at 17 minutes late and we were not allowed to join the game. During my previous experience, our group arrived 20 minutes late for 2 separate escapes and both were able to start late. The manager was rude, curt, and unlike any other jovial flexible staff I had met in my multiple previous experiences. There are so many breakout options in Columbus. Choose a different one. We received no cash refund and are out $150.00. read more

First time ever experience like this. We had four adults and two teens (17 and 13) and we had a great time! Alex was a fantastic game master and helped us along without giving anything away. Definitely would recommend! read more

I went with 8 people, aged 12 - 60+. We all had fun and met the goal with about 5 minutes to go. Very friendly and helpful staff. I'd recommend for anyone who likes a logic puzzle in real life scale. read more

Just got done with 'Kidnapping' and it was awesome!!! Handcuffs and blindfolds? What a way to start! Puzzles were very challenging and it seemed like they never ended! Our game master, Alex, was awesome! She was very helpful with tips throughout the course of the game. I will definitely be back to try their other games. My whole family loved it and can't wait to try another one! read more

What an amazing and unforgettable time. Certainly a great team building event. I would do that every year. The staff were excellent. High marks! read more

This place was super cool - went for my sisters bday and it was awesome. When you first go in you think it'll be super easy and you'll be done quickly but we got out with only ten seconds to spare! Totally worth it read more

I had went to an escape room in Cleveland once before but Breakout in Columbus was much more fun and entertaining! My friends organized the outing for my bachelorette party. We chose the Museum Heist room and Eric was our game master. We had a great time! The clues we were given throughout the game were helpful without being overly obvious and we all really enjoyed the mix of the different types of puzzles and the little surprises that popped up as you solved more clues. If we had more time that weekend we would've went back to try a different room! Definitely recommend for a fun group activity! read more

Our group of friends are very intelligent (I'm talking lawyers, doctors, all professional and highly educated) but we felt pretty stupid trying to complete The Museum Heist. I can't even say it helped to be logical. It was just very hard. We missed getting out by 2 sec. which was frustrating but there were not frequently clear, connect the dots moments. We ended up asking for about 6 or 7 clues to help us. I think the hardest part was just getting out of the entry way room for this particular escape room and into the main space. It was fun but sometimes I felt my brain would explode because I wanted to solve it and I thought we could do it without the clues. It was a great challenge and I guess we would do it again. It would be nice if they had one room at each facility for first timers so you could have a sense of success and then want to do it more often. read more

We did this for my son's 16th birthday. We also had an 8 year old with us. We all had a great time. Both kids want to go back again. Eric was a great game master. Recommend for family fun. read more

I have done the kidnapping and museum heist ones recently. Both times the game masters were fun. I think the best number of ppl for the games are 6-7. We are already making plans to come back and try the other rooms! read more

What a fun way to spend a few hours! This was our first time in an escape room. Jess was our game master and she was super helpful in explaining the game and giving clues. We didn't escape this time, but look forward to trying another room here! read more
