My team of 45 colleagues booked 6 separate games at The Escape Game Cincinnati last week and had the best time!!! We have done many team building/offsite events in the past but this one definitely takes the cake. No one has been able to stop talking about it and are asking when we will be able to go back. Mark my words, next time we WILL defeat the Prison Break room.
This is a great team building exercise, and allowed our newer employees to mingle with colleagues they do not usually get a chance to work or chat with. We will definitely be back and will be looking forward to it in the meantime. Thank you Caroline for helping to make this event such a success!!!

After doing Gold Rush for my birthday in 2019 I knew I wanted to do another the year following. Unfortunately with the state of the world in 2020 that didn't happen, but I was thrilled to get to come back this year instead.
This year we tackled The Playground, a fun colorful romp through a 4th grade class room on the final day of school before the big Kickball tournament against the 5th graders. Having to finish all your assignments before being let out to the tournament you have 1 hour to finish such topics as Art, Social Studies, and of course most importantly, Teamwork.
Having done three rooms at this location so far this one has felt like the best for a larger group. Gold Rush and Special-Ops felt perfect with three players for my group (but we are experienced adult players so take that with a grain of salt). But with Playground you have a bunch of things to be doing at once, so everyone has a chance to feel useful. While you can do it with less I think four players would work out pretty perfectly. We ended up playing with six, my party of four and another 2 players that joined our time slot.
This room did include some more physical elements than the previously played rooms, so make sure you have at least one player comfortable with things like vertical ladders or crawling (The jungle gym is right there in the poster after all), but otherwise all other elements of the room are accessible for most levels of mobility.
Out of the three rooms done I'd say this one was my second favorite so far, with Gold Rush in first and Special Ops in third.

This is the 2nd time I've played the EG. Two of my grown kids were in town for the holidays and had never played anything like this. In total, there were 6 of us and we had a blast! This is just so much fun and the time goes too fast. We will be back when they are in town again!!!

Had a great time in The Heist. Challenging and great clue assistance. My only suggestion is to make sure your group is large enough, to avoid being paired with strangers (who hog all of the tasks). My friend and I would get our hands on a clue, but the family we did it with, would snatch it out of our hands and, in some cases, perform the task incorrectly, wasting time. We did escape with 6 sec to spare.

We took our 5 and 7 year old on a whim, not really knowing what to expect, and we all ended up having a blast! I recommend choosing a game with a 6 or 7/10 difficulty level if you're taking younger kids. Our game host was very kind and helpful. We look forward to doing this again soon!

Escape Room Provides Outlet to have "Lots of Fun" with Otherwise "Difficult" Family over the Holiday
Jan 2020 • Family
My siblings live out of town and were both in for the Holiday. The Escape Room provided a great way to spend time with each other as a family in a fun and challenging way. We really enjoyed it as a group and had a great time analyzing our successes and follies afterward over dinner. We did NOT escape, but got pretty close.

If you are a fan of escape rooms you have to do this one!! I have done several escape rooms in many different locations around the world and this is one of the best places I’ve been to. The puzzles are beyond just finding different combinations for locks, they are so immersive and “high tech”. My friends and I loved them so much we did all four of them in two days and are hoping they’ll create more 😂

The Escape Game Cincinnati is an exceptional experience! It is located in an excellent location in downtown Cincinnati. The quality of the games is incredible - I am talking a Disney quality experience. I would recommend this location for families, corporate events, a group of friends or dates. Our game guide Brandon did an awesome job and was so fun. The GM, Ali, runs a top notch store. 10/10 would recommend!

We recently visited The Escape Game Cincinnati to play the Heist attraction. Parking on a weekday evening was a breeze, with multiple spots available on the street. The staff was extraordinarily helpful and courteous. The atmosphere was fun, and the room we played in was clean and in perfect order. Whenever we need help with a puzzle, our guide was phenomenal at giving us clues to help without giving away the whole answer. I would definitely recommend this activity for a family outing or business bonding activity.

The staff at the Escape Game Cincinnati have top tier customer service. They go above and beyond to make you feel welcomed and excited about your visit. I called to book due to having gift cards, and the process was simple and hassle free. This is by far the best Escape Room company in Cincinnati, and we will be back as they get new rooms. We have done 2 rooms so far, and can’t wait till our next one!
