On an exclusive tour of the abandoned mines at the Cavern Coal Mining Company, you prepare yourself to descend 300 feet in the mine’s rickety elevator. Your tour goes unexpectedly off track and you are faced with one obstacle after another. If you take care of some unfinished mine business, you may get some unexpected help in getting back to the surface.

Our family has done all 4 current rooms at Captivating Worlds. My wife and I did Deep Underground just the two of us. We thought that was great - it would be ok with 4 people but would feel crowded with more. We successfully escaped with only minor hints (one was a lock where we'd tried the right code and the lock was just sticking a little, so they told us to try again, and one was a hidden item we'd missed that would definitely have been found if we had more people looking around). The theming and experience were fantastic.

Staff are great and friendly. They do a great job of only giving hints when you ask and only just enough to nudge you as much as needed - they're clearly paying attention and have experience at running games.

We succeeded with 2 experienced players. 4 would be ok. 6-8 would feel crowded.

Again, Captivating Worlds is so cool. I really like that in Deep Underground there are multiple rooms and you are going back and forth between rooms multiple times to complete puzzles. There are also a wide variety of types of puzzles. The experience is incredibly well themed and had a good story. We had six people in our group and I’d say at multiple times throughout the experience we felt quite cramped, so I think 3-4 max would be best.

I had so much fun at Captivating Worlds The Sins of Doctor Faustus that I got my wife to come back with me the next day! Deep Underground is yet another amazing escape room, a far more claustrophobic and stress filled experience, but that did so much to add to the experience and joy of getting out in time!

We completed the Deep Underground room and it was fantastic! Very immersive and well thought out. One of the best we’ve been to hands down. I can’t wait to go back and try the other rooms!

Absolutely would recommend to others, this was one of the top rooms we've ever done! Our GM was the owner and designer of the rooms, David, and he made sure we understood everything at the end.

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!

The owners really put a lot of thought into their rooms and how the puzzles will move you through the game.

Gameplay

This room is really well done. My wife and I played this one today. Definitely doable with 2 people.
