The girls in my family did the 80's themed escape room. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN! We all dressed up and did our hair and makeup crazy which was awesome. There were 9 of us there. Our instructor's name was "The Party Stanimal" (Stan) and he was amazing. He was dressed up like the 80's and talked like the 80's. Hilarious 80's lingo. Perfect, he NEVER broke character AT ALL! He offered to take our pictures and showed us and told us everything we would need to know! He made it awesome! They have lockers to lock up your things. I thought it was crazy they told us to lock up our phones.... But it was really for the better. Everyone really has to be attentive the whole time for you to figure it out because the clues and riddles are really thinkers! It wasn't too easy that you felt bored. And it wasn't too hard that you felt like giving up. The room was decorated like a 80's basement and the decorations were pretty cool. They played music the whole time and it was a great touch. Stan was in there the whole time with us and interacted with us periodically through out the hour. He would give us little hints when we were getting stuck but never have anything away. It was very interactive, it was mostly clues and riddles but a couple times we had to do a dance off or grab a partner to do something which got everyone involved. I see why they wanted everyone to not have their phones. It got pretty hot in the room towards the end, FYI. I would definitely go back and do another themed one. IT WAS SERIOUSLY A BLAST!!! read more

My mom's husband wanted to fly my brother, my wife, and my self home for my mothers milestone birthday as a surprise present. I had a creative idea to have my brothers who live local to take my mom and party to an escape room so we could spring out of a hidden area when they solved that portion of the puzzel. Some of the more corporate rooms were hesitant to allow it but the Room Escape Adventures Columbus were very accomodating. The room we were in was awesomely decorated (felt like i had stepped back into my childhood) and had something i had yet to experience in an escape room, a game master who was an active part of the experience as a character who was able to enable the room's puzzel events to be less mechanically triggered and more abstractly interactive which was very unique and enjoyable. Patrick was great as our host DJ PJ, and as a bonus we also had Corrin as a videographer who had documented the occasion (under the guise of a clever cover story), which we will enjoy watching for many birthdays to come. Thank you very much for such a memorable and enjoyable experience. read more

The MOST AMAZING Experience! You Gotta Do it!!!! My boyfriend and I had previously done an Escape Room event from a separate company a year ago and decided to give the Trapped in a Room with a Zombie a try. THANKFULLY we did because it was SO MUCH FUN! We ended up only having four people (the optimum number is from 8-12 generally) but we ended up cracking the code with 3:45 left! It was an adrenaline-pumping hour of clues, riddles, mystery, and terror! :) The zombie Nat was incredible and you felt genuinely afraid at many points. For all intents and purposes, she was a zombie! Professor Stacey was a great guide through the process adding humor, instruction, and just plain atmosphere to the event. Be sure to bring a little cash because they deserve a tip for their incredible performances! :) When it was over we all agreed we had such a blast! We want to do the next one for sure, it was so realistic :) My boyfriend is always a little skeptical and he couldn't stop talking about it afterward--we will be back, you need to do it, and yes, you will be hunted!! read more

With me and my two friends, we worked together with a wonderful group of 5 people. For 60 minutes, we were stuck in a room with a zombie, and together, had to enact the beauty of teamwork to figure out the puzzles, solve the riddles, and dodge the zombie's attempt to eat us. Mike, the one who played the Zombie, was wonderful, humorous, and convincing. His presence added a sense of urgency and pressure that immersed us into the environment. Tabby (I hope that was her name, she was tall, and spoke in a Eastern European accent) was excellent in playing the doctor and observer, with dry humor and speech that simulated a facts-only personality. In the end, we all had a good time and with the right mindset, you get to see the roles of various people enact to come together for a specific goal (a leader, a surveyor, the thinker, the mood maker, etc). I would and will do this again, especially there's a 2nd room! read more

This was an amazing experience! I went to the Still Hungry show (Trapped in a Room with a Zombie 2) and it was an exciting 60 minutes. Connor (the zombie) and Stacey (the professor) were amazing! They made the experience a lot of fun! I forgot they were actors and truly believed I was racing the clock for my life by the end of the 60 minutes--Connor and Stacey were that good! As the for the experience itself, the puzzles are hard and they test your critical thinking but they are not impossible. I was on the team that actually survived and made it out of the room so it was a thrilling experience! When you survive and escape the room, there's nothing sweeter than the rush of victory! This experience is great in winter, fall, spring, summer! If you are thrill-seeker, puzzle-solver, or just like getting together with a group of people for a night of fun, this experience is for you! I recommend it to everyone! read more

I had an amazing time participating in the "Trapped in a Room with a Zombie" activity! Our zombie, (who's name was Stan,) was very in-character, and acted like a zombie perfectly for an entire hour! Our professor, Stacey, gave us a summary of all of our performances at the end of the activity, which was a very nice idea. This activity would be fine for older kids, because I am eleven and I wasn't too scared. The actors are very good, though, so sometimes you felt like you were actually in the room with a zombie. This activity challenged me to be creative, and was a great team building excercise. I went into the room with my Dad, one of my friends, and six people I didn't know. Coming out of the room, we were all cheering, hugging, and laughing together. I would highly reccomend "Trapped in a Room with a Zombie" to anyone! read more

We went for my Sister's birthday recently and it was an amazing experience! Exceeded all expectations. We did the Da Vinci's Meatball room and it was so much fun! The puzzle was challenging but could be solved with teamwork and a couple small hints from the staff ;) trying to solve it with the lights off and using flashlights was a nice touch! The theme was great and the service was even better! Our host, Savage was in character the entire time and was extremelt nice and helpful. Part of our group was running a little late and he had no issues waiting for a little bit for them to arrive. First time doing an escpae room and I have since recommended it to all of my friends. 10/10 would do again and would recommend. We are looking foward to trying another one in the future! read more

We did the 80's Dance Party! It was fun as heck! Tubular, even! The puzzles were funny, well-designed, and challenging. Some are based on wordplay, some on codebreaking, others on manual dexterity... A bit of pop cultural knowledge comes in handy, too. The room is built in such a way that almost everyone ends up contributing SOMETHING to the party, whether it's a found clue or a bitchin' guitar solo. And DJ Stanimal was a fantastic host. After explaining the basic rules to us and getting us fired up for a rad party, he mostly hung out behind the DJ booth, dropping a sneaky hint here and there. Altogether, a great experience that I'd recommend to anyone who likes puzzles or gets teary during "The Breakfast Club." We'll likelly be going back to "Room Escape" again! read more

We had a great time escaping the zombie!! Our zombie, Doug, had me screaming (even though I know zombies aren't real ) pretty much the whole time but he was great! Even when it was over I was still a little scared of him. Professor Corrine was also great! She was rooting for us to win but never broke character. She hosted a great experience for us and was really fun to spend the evening with. I would definitely recommend this for a group looking for a fun evening that is a little different. We all had a great time working together to solve the puzzles and stay away from the zombie. We will come back to try a different room sometime. Thanks for a great night! read more

This was the first escape room for most of our group, and we had a blast! We did The Chamber, and Amy was a great host. She was the perfect level of creepy/scary (in character) and guided us through the game with just the right amount of help to make things challenging, fun, and dramatic (10 seconds to spare). We enjoyed the puzzles - some were really creative and surprising! A few notes: 1) Make sure to use the address listed on their website, not the Google Maps address. 2) Customer service was hard to get on the phone, but when they responded to my email, they were very helpful. 3) Wish there was a way to leave our host a tip by credit card! read more

Great time with the family and another family who joined us to make up our team of 12. Mike G was fantastic as our German scientist host. He never broke character and his quick wit was perfect to put everyone in his/her place. Corrine did a superb job as the chained zombie. We had the code for the final lock but stressful condition caused the code to be input incorrectly and time ended during the 2nd attempt. Soooooo close! Looking forward to trying one of the other themed adventures soon. Thanks Room Escape Adventures for a well run event and a great time. read more

I recently completed the da Vinci meatball room with a group of co-workers. Although the premise of the story is a little cheesy, the room actually served as a fulfilling challenge. Patrici was an excellent host and never once broke character. We all had a great time. If you are not familiar with the area, the building is a little tricky to find at first. There are not any signs on the outside and the building seems like it would only be for professional offices. Make sure to use GPS or look at a street view map before you go. read more

This place was awesome! I've done several escape rooms through different companies across the country. This one was, by far, the best. The attention to detail in the decor and themes were top notch, the host of our room (Escape from the 80s) never broke character from the time we walked in the room until after we'd left the building, and the room itself was challenging but extremely fun. We escaped with 5 minutes to spare with a few clues to help us along the way by DJ PJ. I highly recommend Room Escape Adventures! read more

I agree with everything Mark S wrote about his experience with Andonio and the Da Vinci's Lost Meatball experience. He stayed in character, and helped without giving away too much information. We've done several escape rooms with strangers, but this was our first 'family only' adventure. I loved the family interaction and amazed at how well we all worked together and that everyone enjoyed it. We will definitely return for another Escape Room adventure. Thank you for a wonderful, Day Before Christmas, activity. read more

This was our first time doing an escape room! We weren't sure which one we should do so I found this one online and it didn't disappoint! We went with our best friends from college and had an awesome time. Dr Stan and Corrine really made the experience. They were in character the entire time. The room was intense and difficult but not impossible to solve. It was exciting and nerve wracking having the added element of the zombie. I highly recommend if you are looking for escape the room that you do it with them! read more

We took a chance that a room escape would appeal to our entire family, ages 11-71. Escape from an 80's Dance Party CRUSHED it! Everyone found a way to contribute to our harrowing escape (with a minute:15 to spare!), and the Party Stanimal stayed in character no matter how many times we were completely off target (or our teenagers rolled their eyes). By the next morning, we were STILL talking about all the clues and we're already planning our next visit. I'd never been before, but I will definitely be back! read more

Escape an 80's Dance Party was such a blast! Our group had never done an escape room before but we had great teamwork and managed to escape with 10 minutes to spare. I loved the decor of the room and how creatively the puzzles fit in with the 80's theme. Everything ran seamlessly. It helps to have some knowledge of 80's culture, though there are hints to help you out. DJ Stanimal was an excellent host. I definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking for a new and exciting experience. read more

We did the one with the Davinci meatballs (I don't remember the exact room name) but it was very fun. We were helped by a chef by the name of Rina ( I believe her name was Corine). She didn't break character from the moment we entered to the time we left, and she was very helpful. I would recommend this room for first timers or younger people, we finished pretty. But there were 7 adults working together and one kid so we had a lot of minds. Lots of fun nevertheless. Would recommend 100%. read more

We celebrated my aunts 50th birthday here and we had a blast! Ruth was a SUPER AWESOME hostess! She clearly played a big part in our adventure. Her acting was spot on. We experienced the 80s themed escape and boy was it 80s filled. I was Clair Huxtable for the day, my boyfriend was The Terminator, LOL. We were in good company of legends from the 80s, HA! We all agreed that we'll be back. We were all anticipating the zombie but on our next visit we'll make sure we get our zombie. read more
