Cincinnati Escape Room

Definitely had a lot of fun here. Scheduled ahead of time on their website to meet on a Saturday around noon. When we showed up, there was one employee there but he was very helpful. No one else around though so I'm not entirely sure how they make their schedule work. We tried the prison break room and thoroughly had a good time. It was also connected to a couple of other rooms that we had to unlock. Overall just a lot of fun to spend a Saturday morning. We were able to fully escape within 40 minutes and I felt like it was very well done. Since there were six of us, it was a little bit easier to break out and I've done an escape room before where I could not even get out with a group of people after an hour. This was a lot of fun in definitely wanted to try another one! It is it is in one of the old warehouse buildings and you park in their parking lot behind it. It's a little hard to see from the street but their doors are close to the nightclub and there's an intercom where you can be let in if they are locked.

Rooms have really good set dressings and the staff we interacted with were super friendly. We did The Upside Down and Break the Curse and both had quality puzzles that are the right amount of challenge. The Upside Down Room does require at least one person in the group to have some knowledge of Stranger Things. Lots to explore here!

My friends and I did the 221B Baker Street escape room, and it was sooooo much fun! I would highly recommend it to any group of friends looking for an interesting activity to do, or for coworkers looking for a team building exercise.If you're not familiar, "escape" rooms are a new fad where you go into a room with a group (here they are groups of 8), and you have to solve clues in order to get out. The 221B Baker Street room is a murder-mystery that you need to solve, based on Sherlock Holmes. I would definitely recommend coming here with a group of at least 6 or 8 people that you know well...It would be extremely difficult to solve with a group of 2-4, because there's a lot of puzzles in the room, and there's only an hour to do it all! It would be even more impossible to solve if you came here with strangers...I think working with people you know well works best.So, you walk into a random room, furnished like it's Sherlock Holmes' study, and you have no idea where to start to solve this "murder"...Then you see a few clues, and you need to solve a riddle, then a map, etc. etc. etc. There's no direction, there's no specific order you need to solve things in, and it can get a little overwhelming, but it was definitely FUN!We ended up solving it in 49 minutes (there's only a 22% success rate on this puzzle, so we felt pretty good about ourselves!), through a combination of skill and luck. haha It was very challenging, and we were a group of adult engineers, so you know it's tough. I think even if we hadn't solved it though we still would have had fun!The price was a little steep...About $25 per person for an hour. But still, totally worth it, and I would recommend this to anyone! I can't wait to do a different one!

Poor customer service. We needed to start on time and expressed that very clearly and even asked if they had a different room that was empty that we could play instead. They didn't appear to have anyone else playing but wouldn't accommodate us. Instead they made us wait 15 minutes past our start time for a group of 5 people that were running late. The game-master was overly generous giving several hints that were NEVER asked for. We played Secret Society.The first part of the game is very very poorly decorated. It looks like an 8th grade art project. The rest of the game is decorated very well, but the "ahh factor" is lost because of the first impression at the beginning of the game. The puzzles are poorly designed and incredibly repetitive. It felt like everything in the room was reused at some point. There is little flow to the room because of the bad puzzle design. There is an overwhelming amount of busy work and extreme lack of actual puzzle solving. You also need some amount of prior sports knowledge. Overall I would not recommend this room.*We escaped

Tons of fun! I had never done an escape room before and thoroughly enjoyed completing my first one with family at Cincinnati Escape Room. We did the Cincinnati themed room. Upon arrival, the location is a bit confusing You do have to call and get a code to enter the building since other businesses are located in the complex. Not an issue - the staff was very friendly and helpful.We arrived early and after signing our wavers we were able to start right on time. The set-up is exciting, frustrating, and complex at the same time - making for a greatly varied game! You will definitely nee to work AS A TEAM to escape...so playing with people who you are not decent friends with doesn't seem like a great idea. I would guess you need at least 5 people to make it viable.Overall, we left very happy with our experience there; and yes, we escaped!

Hands down the best escape room in Ohio. We've been to many others in the area and this is by far the best. The puzzles are complex and varied, not just a bunch of combination locks. Each member of the team gets to participate and they don't force you into a room with too many people. I'd suggest starting with Prison Break!

Amazing! It was such a great experience and I had a lot of fun with my group of friends!

It was great! Staff was super nice and helpful! Will definitely do it again.Did the Upside Down Room. Was so much fun.

I bought tickets for my family last Christmas, and we finally used them yesterday, 12/17/23! This was the most fun ever! We did the Prison Break and had two of our group in one prison cell and three in the other. The rooms were amazing! The decor was spot on, actually made me feel like I was in a real prison cell! The challenges were difficult, yet super fun. My daughter kept thinking it would be a good idea to put one of the clues in the toilet, thinking it would travel to the other prison's toilet, and we could hear our host, Meara, over the loudspeaker telling her not to put anything in the toilet! We were laughing hysterically! The rooms were so fun and we loved that there were multiple rooms to discover! We were so close.... and then we heard, "would you like 5 more minutes?" YESSSS! and we broke out with 44 seconds to spare!. Meara was great and I cannot wait to return for more challenges! This was a great time, thank you!

Wonderful facility! Our girls had a great time in the Upside down room as part of a birthday celebration.
