Cincinnati Escape Room

Incredibly fun, something different and challenging to do with a group of friends or family. Great for those who love puzzles and riddles. The staff are always friendly and enthusiastic. Highly recommend.

This place was so much fun! We had a group of 8 do the stranger things room. The clues were challenging but not so hard that it felt endless. The theme was a lot of fun and spot on to the show. We want to do another room. It felt clean and well kept. Definitely recommend it for a group of friends for a fun evening or afternoon.

I have done 2 out of the three rooms here and loved them both. They were really fun and very challenging. Both Secret Cincinnati and Prison Break are fun and I would definitely recommend them. The employees give great hints as needed and seem to be enthusiastic about their job. I would recommend you go with a decent sized group. About 5 or more people who enjoy puzzles will give you the best chance!

Weve been here three different times for three different rooms and have always had a blast. The building is a little skeptical looking if youve never been before just because its a little dark and sits back off the road a bit. Most recently we did the Secret Cincinnati room and it was a lot of fun. Lots of puzzles involved!

Went here (for the second time) for my birthday and it was really fun! Me and friends escaped! The puzzles were really challenging and interesting and the service made sure we were taken care of! It was a very cool experience I will never forget!

My first escape room experience was here doing the Baker St/Holmes room with my wife. Not knowing what to expect I found it to be very engaging and challenging. With it only being the two of us, we were definitely at a disadvantage. The puzzles are kind of open forum instead of sequential so there were probably times that we were working on 3 different puzzles at the same time but not realizing it. We made a lot of progress though and could have probably gotten out with 10 more minutes. I found...
Read full review some of the puzzles to be quite creative. Overall we were impressed by the whole experience and had a blast. Ive done two more escape rooms since thing (both at escapology) and still find Baker St to be one of the more unique and challenging even though its less high end.

Prison break was great! This was probably the 15th room we have done and it is in my top 3. So much fun for everyone! Well be back!

Challenging and exciting, the Escape Room is a fun way to spend an hour or so with friends. The best part is that they change the rooms periodically. We did the 221b challenge. It was fun and absolutely a challenge, but I expected to see more Sherlock Holmes lore Incorporated into the challenge. On the whole, Id say grab your friends and give it a go. You wont be disappointed unless you dont like puzzles to begin with.

Had a blast! Highly recommend to anyone.

Good production value and a great experience. We did the Cincinnati themed room and had a great time. I dont want to give anything away, but if you havent done an escape room before, you need to do one, period. And if you do know what escape rooms are, this is a good one.

My first escape room experience and it was great! The puzzles were challenging and creative. Would definitely recommend this type of game for a fun family activity - though probably best for 12 years or older.

Just did the Seven Forces experience with family and friends. Set in the Mason center the experience was shrouded in mystery. The live actors did a great job setting the personality of the game and creating immersion. The puzzles were plentiful and rewarding. If your ready for the next evolution of escape games this is a must do.

The experience was great! A bunch of my friends and I went to the prison escape room and had a blast. The room was nicely decorated and its perfect for anyone getting into escape rooms. The prison escape vibe was definitely there. You could have up to 8 ppl(I think) per room but I would recommend 4 to 5 ppl max for because it can get a little too hot in there. The price of $28 is quite reasonable since you do get an hour and hints to help you complete a room. I would love to try a harder challenge sometime and would definitely go back to do so.

Strange location but, this is one of the better escape rooms I have been to in Cincinnati. The rooms are engaging and well thought out puzzles / clues. We have done the Prison Break room and 221 Baker Street. I liked the Prison Break room the best.

Very fun thing to do. My friends and I had never done one. I thought it would be cheesy and lame but it was totally exciting. Once you start solving the puzzles youre hooked. Toward the end, as we were running out of time, everyone was full on running back and forth intensely trying to get to the end. Really cool idea. Oh, and we solved it on our first try!

Went to the Cincinnati History Room. this is where we went for a part of my daughters 13-birthday party. At first i thought it was a bit pricey; however, after going through the experience everyone had a great time and would do it again and again. Of course we escaped with seconds to spare.

My family and I have done around 50 escape rooms and this company places near the top for overall experience. We previously did the Upside Down and just did the Prison Break and both rooms had a fantastic flow to them. The puzzles were difficult enough to be challenging, but not so challenging or obscure that you wasted a bunch of time trying to figure out what to do next. The design and puzzles were creative, even with a common Prison escape theme. Staff was very friendly and helpful and location is a cool older building that adds to the atmosphere. Absolutely recommend the Cincinnati Escape room!

Cincinnati Escape Room is amazing! The place was quick to get to from the bridge, the rooms are incredible in their decor, and the staff was awesome and gave great clues without giving the answers away. We went at an earlier time so we had a smaller group of 3 to work with which was really nice. Reverse the Curse especially has interesting twists and turns! The conference room was also perfect for a get-together with another group, very urban chic in a historic building. Plus to get free parking in Cincinnati made it even more worth the trip!

The most fun Ive had in a while! I was impressed by the puzzles complexity how each one tied into the rooms theme. The staff was super friendly too. Altogether a great experience. 10/10 would recommend to family and friends.

The Upside Down was a fun room with strong immersion into the world of Stranger Things and the 80s. Its a good room if youre newer to escape games with moderate difficulty, but the multiple rooms and interactive puzzles make it a lot of fun. Our game master, Cam was friendly and helpful.

My boyfriend and I were visiting one of my friends in the Cincinnati area and wanted to try an escape room for fun. It was our first time and had no idea what to expect. We chose the Baker Street murder mystery room and was not disappointed! We were in a group of 8 trying to solve the mystery and each person added their own help to the group and made it very fun! The room wasnt too difficult but had enough challenging clues around the room to keep us thinking at all times. We got out with only about 3 minutes remaining and we all felt like we were on top of the world! I would HIGHLY recommend this place and if Im ever in the area again visiting, we will definitely be back to try a different room.

We are escape game enthusiast. This is a pretty basic room - mostly padlock based. I prefer games that are packed with puzzles. This one felt a bit more search and find vs actually doing puzzles. The clues were never clues - they most just told you the answer. I would suggest Escape game Cincy over this place.

We ve played several escape rooms across the country and was somewhat disappointed in 221B Baker Street. Decor was lacking and storyline was a little weak and puzzles didn t flow. There were some stretches and too many red herrings. We were really looking forward to the game but it just didn t meet our expectations when compared to others. Staff was nice but seemed very very disinterested. I wish I could say I loved it, but just can t.

Cincinnati Escape Room is easily the most challenging yet fun escape room I have ever been to. Being a college student is hard but finding things for my friends and I to do is even harder. I have brought countless of my friends here and we can t stop ourselves from coming back. The staff is very welcoming and helpful. I have done all three rooms and each is fun in its own way. Will be coming back with more friends!!

We did the upside down escape room and it was wonderful. Cam was a wonderful game master and he absolutely made my 18th birthday! Definitely coming back in the future.

Played the Seven Forces - Summons with a group of friends and had a blast! The place it was held was very large and they did a great job incoporating props and clues throughout the space. The acting of the staff was very immersive, and the scenario itself very interesting. Would definitely recommend for anyone who is looking for a good challenge!

Lots of fun. Well organized. Very challenging adventure (we escaped). Staff was friendly and helpful. Secret Cincinnati was lots of fun - even for folks not from the area. Highly, highly recommended.

Our group, Covedale Pet Hospital had a fantastic time! They really worked hard to make a memorable experience. We had about 20 people sponsored by Merck Pharmaceuticals. They really hit it out of the park! We cant thank you all enough.

When I first heard about The Seven Forces Escape room from a friend, I didnt know what to think; an escape game where you play against multiple teams, including strangers!? I work with an escape room company, and our policy has been not to let strangers book with each other cuz it can lead to chaos and people demanding their money back. Surely this would be the same.... It was not. In fact, the Seven Forces Escape Games may redefine the whole idea of an escape room! To begin, you must book a table...
Read full review of at least four people; you may think, well thats tedious, why not just two or three.... trust me, sweetheart, youll want at least four. There is A LOT going on, against other people and in multiple rooms, at once. When you arrive you will meet the other groups at The Gala, and rules will be explained to you; if you get there a little early (like we did) you may just discover some secrets before the rest of the party arrives to the scene. Once the game begins, time flies in a barrage of fun and chaos. The puzzles are interesting, challenging, and stray away from repetitive patterns other escape companies have grown to depend on. You may choose to work together with the other teams, sharing secrets, or you may choose to stick to yourselves in a sense of competition; but trust me... it may be wise to build a kinship with the other teams. The theme of the game was so much fun; A bidding gala held for the masterminds of the criminal world! And APPARENTLY this game we played, titled The Summons, is just the first of many in the series! I highly recommend this game for anyone who loves Escape Rooms. I will say though, while there is nothing extremely violent or innapropriate, I would not recommend this room for children simply because of how difficult the puzzles are and the chaos may excite or overwhelm them. Also wouldnt recommend to those who arent open to the idea of playing with strangers.

Great family event! Had 9 people ages 11-72 and we all had a blast. We didnt escape the 1st time and made reservations to come back the next day to complete the challenge!
