The Sins of Doctor Faustus

Rating: 4.5/5 - A must-play in OH, fantastic looking set with high immersion and terrific use of tech/lighting/effects. It's worth driving a couple hours to play here. Pros: ➕Set is beautiful, immersive, and thematic ➕Lighting and special effects were terrific, feels almost theme park quality ➕Puzzles were challenging but not unfair, I enjoyed the variety. Note that they are fairly non-linear so it's better with more than 2 people. ➕Great use of tech with only 3 padlocks ➕Interesting narrative with a fun ramp up in intensity towards the end ➕Friendly owner and GM, GM gave us just enough nudges without being overbearing Room for improvement: ➖Some of the puzzle flow wasn't the best, we spent time trying to solve things that couldn't be solved yet ➖Way too many visible, unused brass padlocks that take away from immersion ➖A bit too much reliance on reading text from the screen for puzzle confirmations and where to look. The info is helpful but with a bit more obvious in-game signposting/lighting, then the info wouldn't be necessary. Particularly the drawers, the indicator lights could be clearer. Instead of the screen, it would be cooler if they could use more of the character in the corner to communicate puzzle updates or hints like I've seen in some other rooms. "Spooky" is appropriate as there are some creepy moments and some minor startles. I'd recommend 4-5 players, 2 would be doable but challenging.

I thought this was a fun escape room, but with all of the overwhelmingly positive reviews I thought I would like it more. I just thought it was okay. The scenery was amazing though.

We did this room when they were still getting opened and it didn’t disappoint. We were on a trip for my wife’s birthday and I told them it was her birthday when we checked in. At one point in the game they said this puzzle is for Michelle and when she solved it there was a birthday card in there for her. Highly recommended and can’t wait to get back and play their other rooms

Found Captivating Worlds from ratings and reviews on Morty. This room definitely lives up to the hype. The artistry and care put into the room design including lighting and sound , triggered by actions in the room! The puzzles flowed well and the story was really well done. The way the lights and sounds build tension as you go gets a bit intense, made it all the more exciting with our last minute win.

I really enjoyed this room with my friend! They were even able to make quick time accomodations for us, which was very kind of them. It is clear that there was a lot of time, love, and care put into the rooms, including a lot of consideration for the story. Highly recommended.

Easily one of the best if not, the best escape room I have done. The gameplay was nothing short of exhilarating. With a nonlinear structure, and a variety of different puzzles that weren’t too easy but weren’t annoyingly hard, our whole group was enthralled the whole time. The atmosphere was truly incredible, with the many unique ways they incorporated technology, sound, and lighting to truly make this room levels above the competition. I always wanted escape rooms to have a more immersive, deep story behind it, and this is the first room that finally delivered. The service was also amazing, we were here on a business trip, and none of the times had worked for us, but I was able to reach out to them and they were able to accommodate us and make a later time so that we could do this room, with no extra charge too!

This room and this place is just. My all time favorite. I can bo say enough good stuff about this place. The owners are amazing and this room is next level. First off is spacious. So much room. The technology and atmosphere are outstanding! 100% must do

This was our pick for best room in the Columbus area. A great combination of tech, puzzles, and immersive elements, with just a touch of spookiness.

very emersive setup, room was brilliantly decorated to match the theme, puzzle play was very well thought out and exciting. the room was non-linear, meaning at any given time there was a few puzzles you could pursue which we enjoyed, some rooms are very linear. This room also avoided the traditional find a key and unlock a lock. this was more about solving interesting puzzles that would then change something in the room, we enjoyed that more than the 'find a key open a lock' that so many rooms use. We also loved that this place is private bookings, no risk of sharing the room with others. this was our first room here and we went back the following few weeks to finish all 3 of the other scenarios

Hands down THE BEST ROOM IN OHIO that we have played (and we've played a lot). You'll see some things you likely haven't before. Well thought out puzzles too!!
