a week agoThis escape room was so much fun! It had rooms to unlock, the tricks were just the right level of difficulty and we left with a feeling of whimsy and accomplishment. Would definitely recommend! It was a little hard to find, so here are pictures of the building and where to go, because it’s worth the hunt. Go up the elevator of the building to the 5th floor, and you will be guided by your host.

4 months agoWe had a fantastic time at Magic Escape Room! The puzzles and technology in the room were so well done and the story for the room was super engaging! You'll get to figure out locks and combinations as well as non-tradtional puzzles. We can't wait for more rooms to open!
Amanda Schreckengost
a month agoSuch a fun experience right from the start! You can tell how much thought when into the design of the rooms. There was a wide variety of puzzles, really cool special effect moments, and added Columbus history! The puzzles were clever and intricate enough to pose a fun challenge but they never became frustrating. We made it out with a few minutes to spare! This was definitely one of the best escape rooms we’ve done and it’s a must try!

2 months agoThis was so fun! My wife and I have done several escape rooms and we both loved this one! The entire setting played into the storyline; from the mysterious, but beautiful, building and 5th floor, with the introduction immediately starting into the whole plot line. We loved the multiple rooms and hidden details. The two of us were able to finish in the nick of time, and felt great doing it. We highly recommend Magic Escape Rooms and plan to come back and let our kids also try it!

a week agoThis is one of the best escape rooms that we’ve done. There were a lot of puzzles, locks, switches, hidden clues, and items to engage, which made it seem like we were constantly making progress. It was very well thought out and the clues were given only when we really needed them but were super helpful!
