Magician’s Secret

The atmosphere and setting of this were top-notch! Loved the old building it was in, as well as the ambiance before the game even started. By the time you're even in the room, the escape room fun has begun! The owner was so friendly and fun to chat with. The story-telling and history behind the theme were so much fun. Some lock-and-key puzzles that fit the theme well, but also lots of really fun high tech too. There were a couple things that we had never seen incorporated into puzzles before, even though we have done 60 at this point. Loved the clue system and the immersion!

Overall loved this room! Such a cute theme and everything was really unique! Our game master was awesome and super friendly! Cant wait to come back

This room was a lot of fun! It was a nice mix of puzzles and visuals that kept the game fun and entertaining.

Being my first escape room, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the game master made it extraordinary. From the start, he set the stage perfectly with a captivating preview and backstory of the character (Thurston). It really pulled us into the story, creating an immersive atmosphere that added so much depth to the game. Each room itself was different. Every puzzle felt purposeful and thoughtfully designed. The incorporation of technology was so cool! We encountered gadgets and effects that blew us away and made every reveal that much more exciting. It was clear that a lot of effort went into making the room interactive and realistic. If you’re looking for an escape room that has it all, this is absolutely the place to go. I walked in as a first-timer and left as a huge fan. Highly recommend to anyone in Central Ohio.

We really enjoyed this room! It was a fun mix of traditional lock & key puzzles as well as tech driven ones. There were a few elements used that I’ve never seen in any other room, including the hint mechanism. Definitely worth a play! The room is a good balance of fun and difficulty. It was challenging enough to keep us thinking and having fun but no puzzles that made us frustrated or felt illogical.

Magician’s Secret was an amazing experience! The room was beautifully designed, with clever puzzles that perfectly balanced challenge and fun. The time limit was spot-on, giving us just the right amount of urgency without feeling rushed. The staff were professional, friendly, and provided hints at just the right moments. Overall, it was a well-organized, immersive escape room that left us feeling accomplished and entertained. Highly recommend!

This escape room is best in class and one of the most unique games I have played. I loved the story line and custom built props which truly gave it a magical feel. One of the best games I have ever played!

This escape room is one-of-a-kind! The theme is creative and unique, the set is innovative, and the game is great for all ages. The owner was very personable as well! Definitely check this place out.

One of the best escape rooms in the Columbus area--not to be missed for escape room enthusiasts! It's very clear this game was built by someone with a passion for game design. All of the props and puzzles are hand-made, unlike the cookie cutter games you can expect from most escape room franchises. The puzzles aren't overly challenging, but their unique design leads to some clever and unexpected solutions. I'm very eager to see more games from Magic Escape Rooms.

Columbus is lacking in great escape rooms. For the area, this is a gem, but even in a strong escape room area this would make a good showing. It's not particularly difficult or long (the rooms are only 48 minutes long, not the traditional 60, as they are a small business and running rooms on the hour and need time to reset). I do wish they would add a few more puzzles to bring it up to the traditional 60. That said, it would probably be tough to do so as they're not working with a ton of space (although they used what space they had fairly well). Everything made sense and was well-constructed, and they even had a few puzzles that I'd never seen before in over 70 escape rooms done. My ONLY complaint was that sometimes the audible instructions were difficult to hear. Otherwise, I'm looking forward to more of their rooms opening!
