Had a date night. I've done an escape room before, but my partner hadn't. We had a really good time! Although we did not get past the first room, we had a really good time trying to figure it out. I think my partner and i had some questions about our escape room because something wasn't adding up. And when the attendant came in to get us, they also admitted/expressed that 1 of the puzzle may be off. It made them think as well. But either way, it's fine. The staff were great, they were laughing at us/with us(we joke around a lot). Only "eh" is, they are a little pricier than what I'm use to. So if you're thinking of doing a little "affordable" date, this may not be your first choice. But nonetheless less, fun time, bring your smartest friends (the overthinkers). Lol (Sorry, no pictures because duh! Theres no pictures in escape rooms!) read more

Puzzles not very creative. Too many passcodes and lock/key. Unfortunately, they left the previous guests' note sheet that contained answers. The GM was giving out clues without us asking. Won't be back. read more

We're staying at the Hilton for a date night and ventured across the street for some excitement. We attempted the Titanic room but unfortunately did not escape; although we did make it to the final room. The building is old and adds to the ambiance but I will say it was quite cold temperature wise as we wore our coats throughout the game. All I'll say so I don't ruin it for the next person is the first room took us much longer than the second, not allowing us enough time to complete the third. Don't overthink the clues in the first room, as difficult as they may seem overthinking will make things that more difficult. I recommend this escape room, it's more along the lines of a family owned vibe rather than mainstream chain (although they do have numerous locations in various areas the customer service and concept seem more intentional) read more

Just returned from trying out Escape the Titanic with my family member. We had a blast and Cheyenne was terrific in hints and just making us feel welcome overall. Lovely set design and a great historic building location. Thank you for an excellent time! read more

I think if you've maybe never done an escape room, you might really enjoy yourself here. My team has done a lot of rooms all over the US and we tried the Night at the Castle room at this location. The room is mostly a generation 1 room, meaning they mostly use old school locks and keys. This isn't my favorite type of room, but it'll do if the puzzles make up for it. Unfortunately, that wasn't really the case here. At one point, without spoiling anything, it devolved into a word search. Another technical element that was missing here is that our Room Runner could not hear us in the room. She could mostly see us, but not hear us, which was a bummer. The only way we could talk was through an old-school walkie-talkie. This is very sub-optimal. The clue system wasn't even that great. At one point we got a clue that didn't mean anything to us because she thought we were on a different part than we were. My last complaint here was that this challenge had multiple spaces, which you needed to utilize over and over- this meant a lot or traversing back and forth, which wasn't easy considering *how* you had to go back and forth. The people were friendly, but you can likely find better rooms in Columbus. read more

Our family had a fabulous experience at the Escape Room! Destiny was our host & she was appropriately helpful! We had a blast working together & trying to be smart. read more

I have done a few escape rooms here. They are typically harder than others that I have been too. I feel like they need ones that are a little less time-consuming and mathematic. Hoping to try one again but maybe an even easier leveled one. read more

My corporate team came here to do an escape room as a team event, and we had a great time! Ronnie was very friendly and made the experience fun. We did the Da Vinci Heist, which was the perfect amount of difficulty and was very fun. As soon as we finished, we wanted to do another one! Highly recommend coming here for any event or just a fun night with friends read more

The experience was so much fun! The puzzles were challenging and engaging. I would highly recommend!

We had a group of 12 people decide to challenge ourselves for something different. We all enjoy group games and a couple of us had done escape rooms before and we're all pretty smart, right? Ha! We actually did pretty well. I did appreciate that the room/theme we chose engaged most every one of us at some point. There were times that several of us had to work together to accomplish a task or solve a clue. That's really what we were looking for. Other moments included individuals working on smaller clues that may or may not have contributed to the overall mystery. I see how this could be stressful or not work well in a group where people were not very comfortable with each other, or didn't work well together. I did not expect to have an employee assigned to our room who watched over us through cameras and we could utilize her for hints. Unexpected, but I understand the need for it now. If we were stuck, we could ask for a hint, but I could imagine that may turn into an easy crutch for some groups. We tried our best to stick to our own devices to finish, but we needed a couple of hints. It's a neat concept and I am willing to give this idea a try again. It was a bit pricey for an hour of engaging entertainment with our friends. I am not sure what could make this better, but I will need to try some of the different rooms/themes to really get a better grasp on the overall quality of such an activity. I only have one experience to go on. (I was added to their email list when I registered and somehow won a free visit back so I will return soon and then I'll update this review) read more

Had never participated in an escape room before today and was able to book a room an hour before going. Super simple process signing up and great explanations given for each theme. The instructor, Amanda, was so fun and kind and a great guide throughout the Contagion room. Provided great hints and worked well with us! 100% will return to this location to try their other rooms with friends! read more

First experience in escape room. We tried Jailbreak which is an introductory room. Gus was great!

It was such an interesting experience & Kaelyn was our room leader was so witty and funny! If you are into CLUE and with a crowd of people you enjoy, this would be a worthwhile experience. read more

Escape room: Can You Get Out? More like can i even get fucking in. Went here with my wife and her son and spent 20 minutes trying to find the entrance. Brilliant idea though, the game starts early! 5 stars read more

Really enjoyed our Escape Room. Did the Davinci Heist with six people. Our adventure guide was very helpful. Really liked the beautiful building and some of the unique puzzles you had to solve during the game. read more

I went here with my friend for a first date. We did "The Jail". We had a good time and it's a good way to break the ice and lighten things up. It was just us two in our group and we did solve it. The controller did well paying attention and could tell when we were a little stuck. We did have to request one hint. You are allowed three. They let you know when time is close to running out. Overall it was a little easier then I thought it would be. Though, I'm not the sharpest tool in the toolbox. This is a great idea for a regular or first date. It would also be lots of fun for groups of four (Friends). Anymore then that and it would be seem to crowded and cause minimal participation. This would also be fun for two parents and up to two teenage children. It is a little expensive and they should definitely offer a you discount for four or more people. The employees were all nice. When my daughter gets back to town, I am going to bring her here. read more

We have donee multiple escape rooms at this location and so far they 2 of the three were very good. We did contagion and DaVinci Heist which were both awesome. The only one I was not a fan of was Morgan's Raid because the pUzzles did not make much sense and it was very difficult to see anything making it not very fun. read more

My wife and I did both Escape the Titanic and A Night at the Castle with just the two of us. Both rooms were well-done, but we preferred Escape the Titanic, which had some especially amazing decorations and unique puzzles. Escape The Titanic was fine for a group of two but but A Night At The Castle would particularly benefit from a larger group because there is a great deal to do at once and sometimes it helps to have people in multiple places. Also do not ignore the warning about climbing for A Night At The Castle! I have a fear of heights and certain elements of the room were not a good fit for me--the staff did provide a workaround but it really slowed us down. The gamemasters were friendly and great with hints. read more

Honestly, one of the most boring experiences EVER; We went this past Saturday night (8/29/20) We (party of 6) had gone to Martini for dinner and passed by afterward and none of us had done one before, so we said, what the hay! We did the 2 story king Lear room- we were told this was the most popular. All I can say is that 5 minutes in it, I knew it was a bad decision- seriously we all left, and went home to bed: at 10:30 on a Saturday night....wouldn't recommend AT all read more

Our corporate team had a great time with our team building outing here. We were able to get a good deal at the time as an introductory offer. The only downside is the price is really high outside of this offer, and we opted out of doing another one at this location solely due to the price. If money isn't an issue, I think you'd have a lot of fun here. If you are trying to find an inclusive price for all budgets there are a lot of other escape rooms in Columbus that can accommodate you better read more

Thanks Emily for awesome time! We have done escape rooms before but really love how this place uses multiple rooms for the challenge.

We had a great time in a Night at the Castle room. Our room host , Amanda, was great! She was very helpful and funny. We almost made it out in time, if we only had 5 more minutes! We will definitely be back to Escape Room USA - Columbus. read more

We did A Night at the Castle on New Years Eve! Had a wonderful time! Super creative and thought provoking escape room with fun built in for all! Megan was the best room host taking us through the challenge! She made it so much fun!!! Definitely one of the best we have ever done and enjoyed the historical bits with the Castle we had actually visited! read more

This was my first time doing an escape room! I was exploring Columbus and wanted to try out something new while I was here for a few days! Nico was great at assisting us in completing our room! He would assist us by giving clues if we were stumped while in the room. He was very helpful as soon we entered to begin our journey. He gave us all the necessary information needed to complete our journey! I highly recommend this place to do an escape room and make sure you have Nico he made our first experience wanting to come back for another one! read more

It was hard fought, but we lost right at the last puzzle. Mike did an awesome job giving us hints and making sure we didn't waste too much time. read more

We had a great time doing the KJB room. The room was done well and had a lot of detail that was unexpected and interesting. Mike did a great job overseeing our "escape" on camera and giving us clues when we were stumped. A lot of fun. read more

Nancy was such a good guide! Her clues were very helpful and concise. I would highly recommend this escape experience to others. We had a group of 6 which was perfect for the room we did. read more

I have done a number of escape rooms and my 9-year-old son wanted to try one for his birthday. We chose Jailbreak because it was good for beginners with a high escape rate. For a group of adults who have done these before, this room was pretty easy. It was perfect for our son. He loved it! Leo was a great host. We used two clues and his guidance helped us along without being obvious. I loved that there was a lounge you could hang out in before the event. You were also permitted to bring drinks into the room (which would be fun for a group of adults). read more

Chorsey was a great host and very energetic as he gave us our clues. He made the experience that much better. The room was fun and kept us on our toes. Would defiantly recommend others to try this out! read more

We had a great time escaping The Titanic! The hosts were very accommodating and informative. It was definitely a bit of a challenge but worth the fun. The main thing is that we were able to get out with some time to spare. If every back in town, I will be daring and try out the Contagion room. I'm pretty confident with our team....we can escape anything! read more

This spot had a great atmosphere from the minute we walked. A nice waiting area and friendly staff are just the beginning. Our guide Elise was great and helpful during the time we were working on escape room. The room was hard but we will definitely be back as we just need a little bit longer to complete it. Make sure you try the Mona Lisa escape room as it will make you use your brain. read more

We loved coming here with our (huge) work group! Kristen was especially helpful in accommodating us when we walked in very unprepared- THANK YOU! read more

Ingrid and the staff were amazing!!! I loved my experience and will be back again!!! Definitely a great place to take a date. Challenging puzzles. I had so much fun with friends!!! read more

Ingrid was a great host! Super friendly and made the night fun! The setting was great and the building was the perfect vibe for an Escape Room. Would be back! read more

KGB Interrogation was HARD but it was one of my favorites in Columbus. The room was VERY well designed with many little details to create an ambiance. Amanda was a great host! I would definitely try some of their other rooms!! read more

Great location, great staff, and great rooms! We had signed up to play two rooms and ended up playing a third! All rooms have their own unique challenges and themes... we will definitely be back!! Shout out to William and Candye for making it a great experience for all! read more

We are no strangers to escape rooms. They are one of our favorite activity regardless of what city we are in! We loved the theme of the German castle, we have visited Neuschwanstein castle before so we were very excited! However, when we entered the room we found an unlocked door that led us to a room that we weren't suppose to have access to yet. This caused a lot of confusion for us since we were trying to escape in time! To compensate for the mistake, the employee gave us SO many hints to get us back on track. This became frustrating since it kept interrupting us as we were solving the puzzles. We asked for less assistance, but she blatantly ignored it. In the end, we escaped in time but were very frustrated with the experience. When paying $30+ for the experience, we expected it to be a lot more enjoyable. I sent an email to the company explaining the issue, but no response. There are other escape rooms in Columbus that are more professional which I would recommend trying out! read more

Absolutely a blast! Our game master Kristen was amazing!!! Will definitely return!!!

Did the Titanic Escape and had so much fun. Great place for a date night. Kyle ran the game amazingly.

did the KGB room - WE WOULD HAVE MADE IT OUT. we were told we could confirm numbers with our room advisor since there was a lot of math and that way we wouldn't have to start all over if we got one number wrong. the room advisor's sheet had the wrong number on it and it cost us the last few minutes of our game when we would have gotten out otherwise. we spoke with the manager afterwards and he tried to pin the blame on the room advisor even though it wasn't her fault. it SHOULD be the management's job to ensure that all of the information they have on their sheets is correct for the room advisor so they can CORRECTLY guide is through the room. didn't even get a genuine apology from the manager nor did we get a call back the next day even though we were promised one. i've done over 20 escape rooms throughout columbus and have never gotten such poor treatment as this. read more
