This location went above and beyond to help my family out in a difficult time my son has stage 3 colon cancer and wanted to do an escape room before starting chemo and he didnt have the energy to do it anymore. Once they found out they made the trip extra special for him and even gave him some cool souviners at the end they even refunded our money. The workers there are very friendly and truly have a heart. I just want to say thank you. It really made my sons day. read more

This was awesome! Looking for a thing to do with friends on my birthday and my Google searching led me here. Parking is a little tight because it's a tight shopping center area but it is there if you walk a little bit. Breakout Games is on the second floor and plenty of space to hang out outside until your group gets there. Little tight in the lobby though. We had a great time doing the runaway train escape room. They put a lot of work into it and we got out in about 45 minutes. There was eight people but luckily we worked well together. Definitely not a too many cooks in the kitchen scenario haha. We did have to ask Connor for hints every now and then but he helped us and did a great job. Overall we had a great time and definitely would return for more escape rooms! read more

Breakout Games - We had a great time for my birthday! - Escape Games Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I'm pretty disappointed. We were debating trying this room for 2 months. I thought we could've been greeted more quickly upon arrival but honestly that doesn't bother me. Two things that bother me. 1. There was a key clue that should've been given when a switch was flipped. It didn't happen. We spent large chunk of our time trying to figure out how to figure something out that should've been part of a clue we weren't given. To be clear, we flipped the switch. It feels like our game manager wasn't paying attention. 2. There was not a timer prevalent. It needs to be clear where that is located. We would've probably used a hint or two sooner had we known our time. Or at least be told "you have 30 minutes" etc. Werent informed of our time until 60 seconds remained. These a pretty vital things to enjoying an escape room. We were pretty excited and it was just a subpar experience comparably UPDATE: they did reach out and own the mistake and offer us a credit for the amount we paid to come back and try again. It's appreciated read more

The escape room gameplay was very much a team building activity and fun challenging puzzle! We completed the Bomb Squad room today with Evan as our game master who was very helpful even when we almost broke part of the puzzle. They were ready for my team as we came in and smoothly started after we arrived as my team had to do two different escape rooms. The escape rooms are challenging but not unbeatable. They have about 6 different themes, those including Submarine Survival and a Kidnapping theme. I would definitely say that my team preferred to have smaller groups in the games due to having everyone involved where too many people can lead to standing around sometimes. Overall super fun for teams and families! read more

This is the second time we've been here and had so much fun both times! This time around we did bomb squad, which had a lot of unique and fun clues. I've done other escape rooms which were significantly less impressive. This place really makes for a fun and interactive experience. We had Izzy as a game master today, who was very sweet and helpful when we needed clues. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for something fun to do! read more

I've always wanted to do an escape room! My boss mentioned this as an engagement outing and I was all for it. The pricing is reasonable. $25.00 a person. You can have up to 8 people Max per room. They have 5 rooms you can choose from and you can book ahead. Our team chose The bomb room and The Kidnapping. Before you do the games, you must sign a waiver. You have a time limit... one hour to get out. We had 7 in our team. Jake was a guide and he was awesome! He gave us some tips on the intercom if necessary and was fun to work with. This was not an easy task. You really had to think outside of the box. This was definitely a team effort to get out. You had to solve riddles and had mathematical skills. You are not allowed to use the phones for photographing or filming, but you are able to use it for lighting and calculations. We got out in the nick of time. We were down to almost a minute. So excited and happy for our team! Victory! I would do this again! It was so much fun! read more

Visited Breakout Games for my brother's bachelor party and it was a great experience! Our game host, Grace, did an amazing job with making our experience a memorable one (highly recommend her). We participated in the Mystery Mansion and had a fun time completing all the challenges to "catch the ring". My brothers and I are already planning on returning in the near future to take on another room! read more

If you're looking for a fun group activity to do , this is it! Went here with a group of 15 and we split to do two rooms. The room I did was Mystery Mansion and we had a great time trying to figure out all the clues. Even though we had a bigger group, we all contributed in different ways to getting through the breakout. Our game master Lesly was awesome, seems like this place has a great staff. Very nice, helpful, and easy to converse with. You have one hour to breakout and all the records for fastest breakouts are ~35-45 minutes, so you're guaranteed a solid hour of entertainment. read more

The room theming was poor, an overused piece of equipment necessary to solve a puzzle (a scale) provided inconsistent results and the game master had to tell us what the resulting code should be, our game master told us one clue was misleading, and our game master provided us with hints without us asking. Do not recommend. Will exclusively go to The Escape Game in the future. read more

I cannot tell a lie, this place is super funsies. This was my second outing to this location and Valerie, our game master...hostess...evil genius....she gave us a great time! On visit one, about a year and a half ago, we experienced Island Escape and that was incredible! I couldn't believe the production quality, difficulty of the puzzles, and all the awesome twists, turns, and figure it outs. This time around, we were in the same room but they revamped it into Runaway Train. This was still a top notch experience, but I had a little more fun with the first one. Let me explain without giving spoilers. First, pick your cohorts carefully. If you have that one friend who is super competitive and doesn't play well with others, maaaaaybe leave him at home. This is an ensemble activity and the room is waaaay too small for that kind of ego. Also...it's a game...it's meant to be fun...for everyone, Charlie. There are 8 total spots for the room, and I have done it with 7 people both times-that is a good number and significantly lowers the risk of ending up trying to break out of the room with strangers. Unless you like meeting new people that way-no judgement here*. Plus, you get an hour to escape the room, so it is a great physical outing with friends with a hard end time to then be lazy and get your drink on after...you can invite "that friend" to the drinking part....right Charlie**? There is no way to know this from the scenarios, but I prefer the break out rooms that have many puzzles to solve rather than a more linear solve this puzzle, get this clue, then you can move on to the next puzzle. The linear way creates a bit of hurry up and wait situations because only one-three people can work on a puzzle at once. Whereas, if there are multiple puzzles to figure out at once, then the group has more divide and conquer opportunities.If you recall the incredible game show from way back (1990s) when, Finders Keepers, it reminds me of that. You know you are looking for things, but at the start, you aren't entirely sure what, so everyone just moves about the room investigating. If you do get stuck, you get 3 clues for free and any above that eat away at your time. For this go around, we needed to use 2 of our clues, and Valerie was terrific about leading us to the answer, not just blurting it out. I cannot stress enough how high the production value is-videos, ambiance music, hidden compartments, levers that open doors on the opposite side of the room, 3d puzzles. It really is quite fun and we will definitely be back. I highly recommend going during the weekday if you can-there is a 10% discount (on top of the generous 27 dollar fee-so reasonable!) and there are fewer groups to contend with. *I had so much fun that I would totally be that person who joins your group to meet other people. Let's be friends!! **The name Charlie is fictional, feel free to add your friend's name here. read more

Our family of four (with two teenagers) had a great time in The Mystery Mansion room. You are not ever really locked in, so you can leave at any time. The clues were tricky at times, but you are allowed to ask for some hints. We were able to break out with five minutes to spare (you get an hour to break out). This is a great family activity, and would be equally fun with a bunch of friends. read more

Preface: I didn't play the breakout game(s). For work, I had some new colleagues use the experience as an ice-breaker/ team-building. It was fantastically easy and everyone had a great time. Whether you identify as a break out room or not, the overall experience was great from an administrative perspective. read more

I had such a fun experience! We did the Kidnapping escape room on Sunday night and had an incredible time! The breakout game was so much and immersive! Most importantly our game master Erica was super upbeat and funny, making the experience more enjoyable (I also loved getting to meet Milo)! 10/10 would recommend!! read more

Jake was the BEST game Master! SO helpful and funny! Not to mention a real cutie too! He even posed for a picture with us after we broke out! Our group will be back VERY soon!! read more

I came here with a group of friends and we did the submarine room. This was my first experience at an Escape Room at this location. The worker at the front desk was really nice and the room was pretty cool. I docked a star because the room had several things broken in it that made it difficult to win. If those items had not been broken, we would have broken out (we were 30 seconds away!). Overall, it was great and I had a fun time! read more

Connor is NOT and I repeat NOT the right gamaster for my liking. He told me that I needed to use my inside voice. I am a mature young woman who can follow her own rules. Ray would never tell me something like that. Ray makes my experience a 10/10. But with Conner it was a 5/10. He needs to be more accepting of others. read more

My group came to Breakout for a bachelorette party this past weekend. We did the Runaway Train room. Our game master was Jake. He was very helpful, encouraging, animated, and funny. We thoroughly enjoyed the decor and puzzles in our room--specifically one of the mechanisms that I won't name because you should go play the room for yourself! Overall we really enjoyed our experience at Breakout, and highly recommend anyone who may be in the area to check it out :) oh and ps--we escaped! read more

This was so much fun! Definitely something new and exciting to try with friends, co-workers or even strangers! The art of working together and thinking outside of the box! I love the concepts of this place. We did the Museum Heist and although we didn't "breakout" in time, we had so much fun trying to figure it out. We are now dedicated to coming back to try all of the other rooms to see if those are any easier...if there is such a thing. Whoever came up with this new business, KUDOS to YOU! $25 of fun that you wont regret! read more

Celebrated my birthday with Breakout and in a reoccurring theme, had a blast! This was my third time at Breakout. Tried Runaway Train and escaped just in the nick of time! This is a fun new room, though I loved the Island Escape room that it replaced. Runaway Train was definitely a more linear experience than the previous and might have actually been easier with less people. We had seven, and it is pretty challenging for seven people to try and solve the same problem at once. I've also attempt the Kidnapped room with strangers and failed to enter the escape code as time ran out. DISAPPOINTED!!! The hosts are always friendly and engaged enough to give hints or re-rail the train if you're a little too far off the track. read more

Had a fun adult birthday party at this location today. We divided into two groups and got to complete the Alleyway Vigilantes. The room was beautifully designed and felt like an authentic dirty alleyway. We enjoyed the interactive nature of the room and the three demential design. The level of difficulty was great and was challenging but achievable. The only downside was our guide offered more clues than we wanted and interjected several times without prompting. That said, she was super kind and encouraging. read more

Josie was an excellent game master with clear explanations before our game began. The clues were creative and required some creative thinking and we had fun as a family working it together. Will definitely go back for another outing. read more

This is the best room I've played in Cincinnati. The customer service is top notch. (Thank you Steph) The decor is great. The hint system is clear. The theme and story are both fun. (We played museum) The puzzles are very creative and unique. We got stuck on a few simple mistakes and a few things that weren't the way we think. The flow of the design seemed a little off, but for the most part the room was very well done. I enjoyed the more hands on puzzles. The bits of tech are also fun and clever. *we did NOT escape read more

Visited here about a month ago. The Alley room was dark and small, hard to figure out clues. It was my first time so I'm kind of on the fence about returning. Maybe down the line I'll give them another chance. read more

Great fun, we choose to tackle Mystery Mansion with our game master Ben. He was great! While we ran around looking at the clues. It was fun. We will plan on doing this again. read more

I took my kids there a couple of times, and had really good times. It is well done, and very professional. My only complaint is when I tried to call on short notice I was told I had to book online 3 hours ahead of time, and no walk ins or phone appointments were possible. Unfortunately, I did not have that kind of foresight or time to accommodate this type of schedule. Consequently, I took my money elsewhere for the next adventure. read more

We had an absolute blast at our first Breakout Games! We did the Mystery Mansion. We were a little hesitant as the description was "for all ages" and we didn't want it to be childish. It definitely was not!!! It was full of challenges and a great time for a girls night out! read more

Breakout Games - We broke out in just over 55 minutes! - Escape Games Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

What a fun activity for team building or family bonding! I came here with a group of 12 from my office, so we split into 2 groups of six. Without sharing too much, essentially you are locked into a room and the goal is to "breakout" of the room in less than 60 minutes using the clues within the room. Each room has a theme, I think there are 6 total. We did the kidnapping room (the other group did the museum). One girl did some research prior to coming so we knew we had a little bit of a freaky/scary room. But not bad at all. Overall, it was a fun challenge that I cannot wait to do again! read more

Stephanie was a great game master! Our group of 10 had a great time playing in the Mystery Mansion.

What a fun experience! With some family in town, we decided to get together and give this experience a try. I had never done anything like this, so I have no other escape rooms to compare to. Our entire group was impressed with the story and the challenges. It's only fun if it's not spoiled, so no details about the Casino Royale room we worked through. I also felt that it was definitely worth the money we spent. At around $25 per person, you get a solid hour of challenge and fun. Not only that, you will find your group talking about it for hours after. I will say that it was more challenging than I was expecting. We did not escape in time, though we were close. The employees were also super friendly and helpful. All in all, a fun, different way to spend some time. read more

If you've ever done an Escape Room, you'll quickly find that Breakout feels a bit like an "out of the box" escape room. They create an escape room that works at one location, then turn it into a kit that they can replicate at all of their locations. Breakout doesn't have the most creative rooms, but they do have this kind of business down to a science. The themes are generally well thought out and consistent, and they each usually have a surprise or two thrown in. I've found that Breakout's rooms tend to be a little smaller than a lot of other places. I love escape rooms with multiple rooms/areas to discover. Most of the rooms here are one-room experiences. Overall, Breakout isn't my favorite escape room, but they seem to be constantly adding new rooms, which is great for folks like me who like to regularly hit these up! read more

I love breakout Cincinnati! This was my third puzzle. We did the casino room and I'll admit, I wasn't nearly as impressed with this setup as I was the museum heist and the kidnapping. It just wasn't quite as elaborate to me and a lot of the puzzles in the beginning were similar. However, just because it wasn't my favorite doesn't mean it wasn't great! The staff here is always great and the puzzles are creative and detailed. read more

Great Team Building Experience! My team and I attended a breakout room here as a team building experience. The room encouraged collaboration and team work to ensure we broke out with enough time on the clock. You had 60 minutes to ensure that you freed from the "kidnappers" room. There were multiple puzzles to solve, which resulted in great fun! Overall, I would highly recommend this breakout room for many occasions. Definitely ask for their recommendations as I wouldn't say all are work or child friendly. read more

Our team had an incredible experience at Breakout Cincinnati! This is an awesome way to invest 1 hour of time and really challenge your mind as well as your ability to work together and listen to one another. Strongly suggest this for co-workers, peer groups, roundtables, committees, friends and families! You will feel like you are in your own version of the movie National Treasure! It will be one of the favorite team building exercises of the year. Tell them @CentennialInc encouraged you to accept the challenge.

I booked the "kidnapping" room for my brother's bday and we had so much FUN!! 3 out of the 4 of us were escape room virgins so I was nervous we wouldn't get out but we did with 8 mins to spare :D Ethan at the front desk and our game master Stephen were amazing!! We felt safe and well informed before going into the room and he gave really helpful clues that were just vague enough while in the room. The room is challenging but thats the fun of it! I highly recommend this location, game master Stephen and the Kidnapping room! read more
