You only have one hour to escape. Can you do it?
Have you ever wondered what it feels like to walk the street market in another country or experience a trip to outer space? How about going to prison or walking through a mine shaft? Maybe you’re a historian who wants to travel back in time or visit an art museum? The good news is that you can do it all in Columbus. The bad news is that when you do, there is only one way out.
The escape room experience is my family’s go-to for a fun time. We grab our friends (also escape room junkies) and venture out with anticipation over what’s on the other side of the door. For one hour, we get to pretend to be somewhere else. The catch – we have to solve clues and puzzles to get out, and teamwork is a requirement.
We’ve been “escaping” all over Columbus and still have a long way to go. With so many locations and rooms to choose from, there’s always something to do. Check out some of our favorites below.
The Escape Game Columbus: Located at Easton Town Center, The Escape Game Columbus offers six rooms: Prison Break, The Depths, The Heist, Special Ops, Gold Rush, and Playground. At the time of writing this blog, we only have one room left to escape. When you go, say hi to “Ben” for us. The staff is great and the rooms are amazing. Plan to buy gift cards for future visits as you can save 20% per person.
