What to do and see in Ohio, United States: The Best Room Escape Games

March 10, 2022 Jasper Kershner

If you are looking for an active place to stay with world-class attractions, Ohio’s major cities can satisfy any vacation desire. Each offers its own distinct flavor of fun, from professional sports – Bengals (Cincinnati), Cavaliers (Cleveland) and Indians (Cleveland again) – to museums, outdoor activities and more. One of the most famous is the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. If football is your thing, don’t miss the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton. For the science-minded, visit the meat eaters at the Carnivore Conservation Center in the Wilds near Cambridge, dedicated to the breeding and scientific study of endangered mid-sized carnivores. Kids will also love Planet Snoopy in Sandusky or the Columbus Zoo’s Zoombezi Bay Waterpark and Jack’s Landing rides.

My husband and I got a Groupon for this escape room as a present. We had never done one before and were excited to try it. There are several experiences to choose from: Trapped in a Room with a Zombie, Escape an 80's Dance Party, Escape the Wild West, and DaVinci's Lost Meatball. We decided to go with DaVinci's Lost Meatball. Our guide was Chef Martini and he was great! You need to arrive about 15 minutes early to sign releases and go over the rules. Our quest was to find DaVinci's 3 lost meatballs in order to find the magical 4th meatball. It was myself and my husband and 4 other ladies we did not know. We had an hour to complete our quest, and as we time traveled back to the 1500's the room was lit by only candlelight and the "torches" (flashlights) each of us were given. The puzzles were great and there were lots of surprises. I was really impressed with the experience. We managed to find all of the meatballs with 3 minutes left on the clock. We had a fantastic time and will definitely go back and try another room!

Trapped Toledo

Locked in a room with a group of friends or strangers, you must use your wits and the group's collective knowledge to find hidden clues, solve daunting puzzles and overcome challenges to escape before time runs out. ​Are you ready?

I have gone to Trapped Toledo twice and both times were excellent. The price of admission is reasonable, the staff is always super nice (both the desk workers and actors), and we always have a great time, win or loose. We've gone in as groups of 5-6 people both times which seems to be a good number, though more is likely to help you solve things quicker.

We had a fabulous time axe throwing. Ragnar did a good job with the games and let us do extra throwing with the time we had left since we were just a party of four.

With different rooms that follow unique story-lines, you and your friends will have 60 minutes to escape your adventure of choice by cracking codes, solving puzzles and following clues.

I’ve done 4 games here. Some have been challenging where we got our with 3 seconds to spare, others we got out in plenty of time. I feel like they do a good job with theming. Do Not Disturb, Runaway Train and Kidnapped had much more immersive sets than Murder Manson. Game masters have been attentive and kind. A little lenient on clues, but usually when the team is most of the way there already and just needs a nudge. I can’t wait to go try their new Undercover Alley
