The owners truly cared about our experience from start to finish. They are very smart, and had details in the room that we haven’t seen before. It was in a large space, and felt very realistic.

Super well made, lots of fun, very intuitive. A little spooky for like half a minute but it's fine.

We loved this game! Awesome atmosphere and a fun theme, although our team of 2 agrees with the other reviews that the story could possibly be reworked some so that it doesn’t need an explanation at the end. Overall a strong room, and we had a great time!

Highly electronic which gives a different experience. This may be one of my faves because of the creativity and use of some neat “tricks.” Story delivery can be improved IMO. Some fourth wall breaks could be resolved. I still loved it. 75 min game - it’s a long one - but we didn’t tire. Kudos. I did find myself mesmerized at a few points in the game as I looked around. Again, kudos.

Gameplay

The gameplay was fun. Very few keys, heavy on the electronics.

Atmosphere

Very cool. Theatrical background of the owner played a role in the light show, sounds, etc.

Customer service

Super nice owners and game master. They love what they’re building. Their heart and soul is in Captivating Worlds.

Particularly interesting or different

Yes

Different and interesting! Surprises along the way.

Story

Story is compelling but could be enhanced by telling us a bit more in the beginning maybe? I found myself a bit lost at tines but the story was there.

Difficulty

Hard

We beat it with a team of 4 with clues and nudges but the game master reacted like we were the exception. He was super nice and loves his job. We loved him!!

Puzzles were excellent. Room is non-linear. EVERYTHING is completely connected technologically. You are actually solving puzzles and there is no game master hitting a button onto the next step just to make you feel good. Every experience is earned. An escape room unlike any other. A must go. Only comments are that upon completing a puzzle, it wasn’t clear which puzzle was the next to complete. This room def feels like walking into a dark, thematic play and you are the player. Tech effects feel like a video game. This place is one of a kind

Unmatched. Has to be one of the best in North America.

AMAZING customer service. This place is a business of art and passion. The owners are proud of their rooms, and the creator himself was my game master!!

This is such a cool and unique experience, every enthusiast within a radius of Columbus should get this on their scorecard. In shock that the owner accomplished this level of build quality, programming and puzzle by himself! Imagineer quality. The puzzles are unique and challenging, maybe approaching the too-tough side for our duo... Some unique elements I was very amused by. Awesome experience.

Gameplay

There's a good amount to do in here, esp for only two people. Clever puzzles that don't go by quickly.

Atmosphere

Unreal. Peak spook without being gory.

I can’t rave enough about this room. The technology was incredible. The set design was great. The flow of the room was awesome. The staff was so friendly!

Gameplay

The flow of this room was great. At every point, you know what you’re supposed to be working on. You may not know how to go about it, but that’s the point.

Atmosphere

Big shoutout to this set designer. I felt fully immersed from beginning to end.

Customer service

Can’t rave enough about the staff. It’s a couple that owns this company and our GM was the woman owner. Oh my, she was so pleasant and helpful without giving anything away.

Scary

Spooky

It’s somewhere between “not scary” and “spooky”. Some parts may frighten children but not a horror room at all.
