What’s the experience like?

I’ll admit, I was a little nervous walking into The Escape Game at Easton Town Center in Columbus — not sure if I’d be any good at this kind of thing. But right away, our game guide (I think her name was Jamie?) made us feel like we were about to do something fun, not just get locked in a room with strangers. She had this way of explaining the rules that made me laugh — “If you need out for any reason, just hit the button. No judgment.” That helped.

The place itself smelled faintly like popcorn from the movie theater down the hall, which was oddly comforting. We picked “The Depths” (the submarine one) since my cousin is obsessed with anything ocean-related. The puzzles started off simple but got trickier fast — there was this one clue with a weird metal lever that stumped us for five minutes straight. At one point someone from another group cheered when they cracked their code and it echoed through the walls. Made me want to hurry up, honestly.

We ended up working together more than I expected — even my uncle who usually just watches these things got into it, squinting at dials and muttering ideas under his breath. There’s something about being on a timer (60 minutes goes faster than you’d think) that makes you forget about your phone or what’s outside. When we finally opened the last lock, everyone high-fived and laughed way too loud. I still think about that moment — weird how you can bond with people over clues and fake submarine noises.

Afterwards we wandered around Easton Town Center looking for tacos (Condado Tacos is right there), still arguing over who actually solved the hardest puzzle. Our guide waved as we left — she looked genuinely happy for us, which felt nice. So yeah, if you’re looking for an escape room in Columbus that’s more about teamwork and less about being scared or confused, this is probably it.
