Legion

Rating: 3/5 - Enjoyable with a good variety of puzzles Things I liked: ➕Nice mix of tech and padlocks ➕The puzzle variety means there is something for everyone. Logic, physical, numbers, visual, cypher, etc. ➕All the puzzles were fair and made sense, no outside knowledge or other issues ➕/➖ Theming is decent with a lot of real serial killer news paper clippings and photos (no blood or gore). While some areas of the set looked nice, other areas felt a bit sparse. There is always opportunity to add more detail and character to the space, make it feel more lived-in. ➕Some non-linearity so players can split up ➕More than a single room to explore ➕One puzzle requires teamwork/communication ➕The owner/GM is clearly an enthusiast and great to talk to, he was helpful when needed. I appreciate that they allowed me to play solo with a public booking, I was able to escape with a few hints/nudges. The owner made a small modification so that I could complete the communication puzzle without help. I'd recommend a team of 2-3 enthusiasts. My ranking of the rooms I've played here starting with my favorite: 1. Queen Anne's Revenge 2. Legion 3. Release the Hounds

Definitely one of the better rooms (and companies) in the Columbus area. The puzzles were logical and made sense, and there was one or two neat puzzles you won't find in too many other places. The owner is always great to chat with after the room about the industry in general. Lots of parking, and a couple really good restaurants nearby, so absolutely worth the visit!

Thoughtfully designed room with quality puzzles and great game flow. This would be a good challenge for all skill levels.

Very fun room overall and very logical! It was well suited to our skillset. A couple well layered puzzles to challenge an experienced escape artist. The owner Glen was wonderful and fun to talk escaping with afterwards. Can't wait to see what the next room looks like here!

We were in town for Otherworld and wanted to do an escape room before. I am so glad we got to do this room! When we first went in, it didn’t seem like there was a lot of stuff in the room, until we started solving puzzles and started discovering more. The story line was great and the puzzles were well thought out. We were all very impressed with the mechanisms that were built in the room! And even did a few puzzles that we haven’t seen before in other escape rooms. The game master was very nice and welcoming and you could tell he was passionate about his work. If we had more time in town, I was ready to book a second room and going to Otherworld later lol. Hoping to go back to try the other ones someday soon!! Definitely worth it.

The set and quality were good, as the decor conveyed the home of a serial killer, minimalist design, yet effective use of hidden compartments. The props seamlessly integrated with the theme, enhancing the overall experience. One aspect that impressed me was the flawless functionality of all the props; there were no technical issues whatsoever. The gameplay and puzzles were intelligently designed, offering a cohesive and engaging experience. Despite the non-linear nature of the room, the gameplay flowed smoothly, eliminating any confusion about the next steps. The puzzles were meticulously crafted, encompassing various types that went beyond mere locks and combinations. I particularly enjoyed the multiple-level puzzles, where solving one challenge led to the next, fostering critical thinking and providing an extra layer of excitement without becoming unsolvable. The Game Master was friendly and approachable, but their assistance wasn’t necessary as we navigated through the puzzles. I appreciated the limited use of red herrings, where certain props cleverly hinted that they weren’t clues, adding a playful element without wasting much time. Importantly, the escape room was designed to be solvable, without fostering a sense of antagonism between the participants and the room itself. Given unlimited time, any person would have a fair chance of solving it. Overall, this escape room delivered an exceptional experience. Its attention to detail, thoughtful puzzle design, and immersive atmosphere made it a truly memorable adventure. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking an engaging and thrilling escape room challenge.

Very well designed puzzles and the puzzles were well integrated into the rooms theme. Very enjoyable room. We would definitely return to try their other rooms.

Loved this room. The owner obviously is passionate about his business and wants you to have a great experience. Will definitely go back to do other rooms there soon.
