WOW!! This was an absolutely wonderful experience. Seriously top notch, I just walked out and I’m really on cloud 9 about it. The PUZZLES were fun and interactive with a lovely balance between clever tech, logic, and acute observation. The STORY was honestly beautiful, it had the best narrative arc I’ve ever seen in an escape room. The OWNERS are so kind and took the time to discuss the puzzles and the build and make us feel good about our performance. I have nothing but positives to say about this room. The attention to detail and level of care is unparalleled and I can’t wait to come back and do the rest of the rooms. They even carry escape games in the lobby!

Beautiful room with awesome design, such an incredible surprise that I’ve never experienced before in an escape room. The story was intriguing and came together at the end nicely. Surprisingly we found some classic locks which I didn’t love, especially from a company that’s reliably knocked my socks off with other rooms, and the fluidity of the gameplay wasn’t my favorite, but still a very worthwhile experience. Loved our GM and the finale is very fun. If you only have time for one, I’d go with Faustis or Machine, but if you’re looking for all of the great rooms in Columbus this is definitely near the top of the list!

Just discovered this place that apparently only opened a couple a months ago. We got a VIP experience because it’s all so new and pristine and the staff seems genuinely excited about the launch. We really lucked out with Jack as a terrific game master in the wizards room, he was present and fast to respond whenever we needed help or guidance. This room is AWESOME. The trailer doesn’t do it justice, actually the trailer is a little weird, but the vibe of the room and the puzzles are just a blast to go through. It’s magical without feeling like a knockoff of somebody else’s idea. You’ll see your classic witchy iconography like potions and wands, but there are creative and fun new elements that I’ve rarely seen. We also did the Gas Station 51 room to take advantage of their deal to book another game for 30% off. We could’ve booked it for another day, but we were on a bit of a high and decided to jump right back in. The alien gas station theme is unique and fun with fewer but more challenging puzzles featured in the room. Our game host Josh was just terrific and allowed us to go over the interesting mechanics of the room and various puzzles. On the whole I preferred wizards to alien, but found both enjoyable. My partner and I spent a day enjoying each others company at PaniQ and we loved it so much. The shooting gallery add on, which is such a good deal it would’ve been stupid not to do, was so fun, there are arcade games and a tasty nonalcoholic bar in the lobby, which is picture perfect and beautifully put together. As a bonus we got to talking to the lovely bartender Sky, and she introduced us to Trey, another employee who was so kind as to offer us a preview of the soon to open Quiz Game. SO. MUCH. FUN. I can’t recommend this place enough, not only the escape rooms, but the whole event of spending the afternoon was just fabulous. I’m excited for the superhero room to open, we’ll be back :)
