Great place for a 13 year old boys birthday celebration. Challenging, fun and unique.

WOW! THIS PLACE IS THE BEST!! Our group had such a blast that we decided to go back the following night and do two more rooms (total of three)! It's a type of fun that can be addicting. Highly recommend for a group of friends looking to have a fun night out. We made some pretty priceless memories that you can't put a price tag on - definitely want to go again. ALSO - (cuz details matter) clean restrooms, super friendly staff, well-organized - all around great experience! Stephanie was so much fun to have as a guide!! Our group LOVES Stephanie! read more

Can't believe I have never done this before. Located right in Hyde Park near Madison--Its located in a small plaza. Went with my co-workers for a team outing--The puzzles/clues are so fun to figure out and the fact they only give you an hour makes it even better. Highly recommend trying this out with a group of friends! read more

My husband and I joined my family to do the murder mystery and weren't sure what to expect. It exceeded all expectations. We bonded and had a great time as a family trying to solve the puzzles and we finally broke out! Shoutout to D-man who was an awesome host. He was very friendly and accommodating. read more

I forgot how fun this place is until I went back with my family while my sister was in town. We decided to do the seasonal, Christmas-themed room which was only 30 minutes instead of the usual hour. We didn't break out but it was fun and challenging and the room was Christmas everything which was very cute! We might have to make this a family tradition! read more

I recently tried this with a group of friends and we had a blast. We did the island escape room. There were 8 of us. I've heard that if you don't get 8 people in your group, they may put other guests in your room with you. When we walked in the room, we felt like there was no way there were a ton of clues in there but they are very hidden. You are given 3 free clues to use. If you want to use more you can but it cuts time off of your 1 hour limit to break out of the room. We got out of the room in about 50 minutes. It was very fun and I highly recommend trying it out! read more

What a pleasant surprise. Did a team building event here and everyone had a great time. Challenging and fun. They have multiple rooms, so I hope to come back. Check it out!! read more

Excellent and creative escape rooms here! Most recent one was with Olivia as my host, who was very helpful with hints at the right times.

Tonight was an absolute blast! Breakout Cincinnati is a must do. The owners were fantastic. The facility is really nice, and the game was incredible. We decided to do "the kidnapping" and boy was it intense. We loved the back story that the game had and solving the clues as the clock ticked away was so exhilarating. I would recommend anyone to go to Breakout Cincinnati. I could see this as a great team building opportunity for managers that think outside of the box and want to provide their team with fun exciting ways to learn to work together, or a fun night for a group of friends. I will certainly be back to Breakout Cincinnati. I can't wait to try the other scenarios that they offer. read more

The escape room was okay, the theming was decent but I have seen better for cheaper the price. The employees that helped were excellent but I think the rooms could've definitely been better read more

Had a great time at Breakout! All the clues were perfectly challenging and we barely escaped!

This was one of the best experiences I've had in a long time. The high level adrenaline rush to figure out the problem was exactly what our group needed on this Saturday afternoon. It's in a great little location. Lots of different options for games. Our game master, Stephen, was great and very helpful. He encouraged us along the way and helped with little hints. Would definitely recommend doing his games! read more

A great family activity, but Adults: BRING YOUR READING GLASSES. This was our first Breakout and Im happy to say we broke out with 9 seconds to spare (with a litttle help along the way from our guide). We had 2 adults & 6 kids (11-17yrs) in our group. The 11-yr old was too young to solve the puzzles but could participate as a helper. 1. I would suggest breaking into 2 groups of 4 and taking turns solving the puzzles. 8 people cannot see the puzzles, so breaking into 2 groups ensures everyone gets a chance to be in on the action. 2. When you get into the room, if you pick up anything, be sure to put it exactly where you found it when you first walked in! 3. Use your guide if you get stuck and HAVE FUN!!! read more

my friends and I randomly decided to do an escape room and chose this location. We did mystery mansion and had so much fun! One of the workers Micah did a great job helping and guiding us through so big thank you to him!! read more

It could've been a 5-star experience but a woman brought her 7 year old and the girl ruined everything. I paid $80 to come here with my fiance and brother to have a little girl snatch everything and whine non-stop. There should be an age restriction. Or if you plan on bringing little kids, pay for the whole room so you don't ruin other people's experiences. The worker watches on the camera, we should've been refunded. Or have a strictly-kids room. We stopped playing about 10 minutes in and I had to fight back putting the girl in her place. It was ridiculous. *****they did get back to me and make the situation right. Our room employee was new (it was his veey first room by himself) and didn't realize he needed to address the situation. Very happy with the way they handled it. read more

Breakout Cincinnati really takes the concept of a breakout room to the next level. A group of 5 others and myself went and did the Museum Heist and had a blast, barely escaping with a little over a minute left to spare. The clues are difficult, but not so tough that they leave you stumped. The game master in our case was helpful as well when we asked for clues as you are allowed to do. The best part of the experience here at Breakout Cincinnati had to be the attention to detail with how they put together and made the rooms impeccably realistic. It really felt like we were trying to rescue a stolen work of art with the minutes quickly ticking away. It also left me wanting to make some of the cool contraptions that they fit into our room. With them just opening up a new "Island Escape" room which is supposed to be their most challenging room yet, I can't wait to be back. Hopefully, savoring another well-won victory over the puzzles we come up against. read more

Me & 6 friends tried the Breakout Kidnapping tonight. None of us really knew what to expect - but we had A BLAST. We BROKE OUT with 1 minute & 13 seconds to spare. It was extremely challenging & looking back on it, I'm not sure how we even did it! It was really fun though, & I know we're already planning to go to the other options they have! read more

Breakout Games - We broke out!! - Escape Games Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

This was the most fun my family has had in years! My whole family (9 people ranging from ages 8 to 52) loved it. We can't wait to go back and try the other rooms. I would recommend trying to sign up for two rooms in one day with a short break (about an hour or so) in between. Trust me, after you do the first room, you'll want to go again! The staff was enthusiastic and helpful, which really adds to the experience because they act as "game masters" who help you through the room if you need it. This was a great bonding experience for my family, and I'm sure it would be just as great as a coworker team-building exercise. In fact, I would recommend it to anyone, of any age, for any purpose! read more

So fun! We had a group of six and did the Casino Royale room, although we thought we were pretty skilled, we were about 3 minutes short of breaking out. Needless to say, it was much harder than we anticipated. We're already talking about when we can go back. Fun! read more

Encouraged by a fantastic Yelp event in the Kidnap Room here, I had to go back and try another adventure. Casino Royale it was. So cool! You get to be James Bond for one hour and it is a really refreshing way to spend an evening with a group of friends. People are super nice and friendly there and the rooms and clues are very well prepared. I am hooked! Will be back for new adventures. Luckily, they change periodically! :) read more

Great!! We did Do Not Disturb and it was a ton of fun. Grace did a great job making it fun and enjoyable to the entire group. Will be back!!

We did the Kidnapping room with a group of 8. My family of 6, with my nephew and his girlfriend. Everyone had a blast and we escaped with just 2 minutes and 58 seconds to go. This was after using just one penalty clue. The best part was the fact everyone contributed and our 6 year old son found the first piece we needed to get going. We were worried they would not enjoy it or contribute, but that was not the case at all. This was an absolute blast to do. Something different and exciting for the whole family; which we enjoyed talking about for hours after over a nice dinner out. We will definitely be back for all of the other escape room scenarios! read more

Breakout Games - Family affair! 6 year old was our "secret weapon"! - Escape Games Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I'm really sad I don't live close to this area with all my friends because we had so much fun here and would love to come again. Our game was back at New Years and i've been meaning to review, but never got around to it. I don't quite remember who was the game master and who was up front, but I have "Ethian" in my brain right now so I assume Ethan and Ian are the names of the two lovely dudes who we had the pleasure of meeting. They were very friendly and helpful all the way through and made what was the first escape room experience for most of us a success! We made it with something ridiculous like 3 seconds left. Go for it, it's very fun. read more

So fun! All the rooms are so detailed, definitely recommend going with a group! Submarine Survival is their newest room and is super fun. I will be returning for sure. read more

Such a great time and a fun way to use your brain! Everyone enjoyed it! Definitely would recommend to everyone- work or fun. The amount of detail used in the room is amazing. I can't wait to go back. read more

Breakout Games - These girls had a fabulous time. Enjoyed every minute and definitely want to come back. - Escape Games Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

A great time with family for our daughters 22nd Birthday! The staff is very friendly and encouraging. We did the Casino Royale room. It was well prepared and challenging! I would definitely recommend Breakout Cincinnati! read more

Great group activity. I was glad that there were enough different parts to work on that you did not have to be on top of each other. This means you can go with your family or coworkers without biting each other's head off. read more

I set this up for my department for a fun and teambuilding experience. I have to admit I was worried when we began, but my focus on the time soon disappeared as I worked with my co-workers to solve the riddles to get us out. I love how they give you feedback after you are done (since they watch you the whole time) and let you know how you did as a team. I will be passing their info along to the other managers at our company and encourage them to get their departments out here to try their hand at it. I also plan on getting family and friends to do the other rooms! FUN, EXCITING, TEAM BUILDING, BRAIN STIMULATING, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!thers learn about great local businesses. Please don't review this business if you received a freebie for writing this review, or if you're connected in any way to the owner or employees. read more

Friendly and very helpful staff, easy online booking/waivers, clean facility, varied themes (kid-appropriate ones as well), loads of clever clues, tech interactive, team-work required! A lot of excitement packed into a tiny space. This was one hour well spent with family (4 adults, 4 kids under age 9). The kids begged to do another! read more

Had so much fun in the Casino Royale room! We made it out with 14 seconds to go! Our hostess was very helpful with tips and the setup of the game was very intriguing. We all had to work together as well as divide and conquer to get the job done. It's interesting to see how everyone's brain operates to solve the puzzles! read more

This was my first (and second) time at the Breakout Games-YES, we went to twice in one day(it was so much fun!)-and it was one of the best group activities I have done in a long time! I might be a little biased because we were able to breakout of the two scenarios we chose-The Kidnapping and Operation: Casino-but it honestly would have been a great experience either way! The staff was friendly, helpful, and pleasant-especially Ryan and Peyton!-from the time of booking over the phone until we were walking out of the door. Can't wait to come back!! read more

We went to Breakout Cincinnati last night and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. A group of seven adults, we decided to sign up online and register/fill out waivers in advance, which I would suggest. We used a Groupon for the event and it worked out great! Upon our arrival, we were greeted by friendly employees and efficiently set-up to play. We loved "The Kidnapping" game and our game master, Katie, expertly explained the rules and supported us over intercom. One minor drawback was that one of the furniture pieces in the room had a jagged edge and two people in our group snagged their jeans walking past! read more

We went here with a few friends for a birthday. It was fun! The place was smaller than I expected. We did the kid napping game and it was a lot harder than I thought! The lady that was working the reception desk was very helpful. A bit expensive for what you get, but overall a good time. read more

Breakout was my very first escape room so I had no idea what to expect. Went with a bachelorette group and it was really fun. I liked that there were 3 total rooms in ours. It didn't feel super cramped and there was room to move. The staff were very helpful and friendly. I also liked the overall way things were presented. It was very well done. The countdown clock with the warnings and the storyline came over the speaker at times, which was cool. I will say that the room was very challenging for us and there seemed to be a ton of clues that actually led nowhere, which was frustrating. Overall a really fun time! read more

I love escape rooms and have experienced several but the "runaway train " was one that I didn't care for at all. The clues in the room did not flow from one to another, fortunately we had Grace as our narrator. She was so helpful in the clues that she verbally gave us. Thanks Grace read more

What an adrenaline rush!! So glad my sisters thought of going to one of these for our father's Father's Day gift! I would love to tell you all about it but that would be giving away the game and that's no fun. Well first and foremost, it is on the second floor at the east end of the parking lot. No, it is not above the Escape Nails. Look to your left if facing it. There is a banner on the railing that says, "Breakout." The person at the desk was very friendly and helped all the confused and nervous people that were coming in. If a waiver wasn't signed online, it needed to be signed, via IPAD, before even starting. During this time, people can use the restroom and have questions answered. Oh and yes, people can use the bathroom once in. You are NOT fully locked in the room. There is a safety button to get out but be quick so you can help them They were very accommodating with us because the max is 8 but we had 9. That was very nice of them. Once everyone was signed, (We did Kidnapped) we had a guy lead us in the hallway and instructed us on what to do. LISTEN TO HIM/HER!! Yes, it is very hard to pay attention when nervous but it might help you. Once in room, a creepy "Saw" voice came on and gave us more instructions, LISTEN. Then we had exactly one hour to escape. It was nerve wracking and fun!! We were able to use phones for math and there was a small whiteboard to write down notes. The clues were not worn or over used. The props were great went with the theme. The guy that lead us in watched us and gave us clues when asked. Make sure you know how many free clues you get. You can still ask for clues but it will cost you time. Everyone made a great team effort and glad we worked together so well. This kind of exercise could be very productive or very disastrous ha ha. Did we get out?....... YES WE DID!! Only had a few minutes to spare. ha ha We got a picture taken but no free shirts. Only get a free shirt if you beat the fastest time. $15 for a shirt which is not bad. It was such a great experience. I believe we are going to do the Casino for our (my triplet sisters and I) birthday. read more

Breakout has some pros and cons: Cons: Rooms are kind of small (but some are bigger than others) Some puzzles are very linear (I guess some of that has been fixed, kind of want to redo room where it has been redone) Pro: Andy is super nice, they listen to criticism and make improvements based on it. They have some neat puzzle features that I haven't seen at other places. Good themeing So far we have done the casino royale room, kidnapping room and museum heist. The only room I didn't like was the casino one because it was VERY VERY small and very linear (which I hear they have made changes to make the room more fun, I kind of want to try it out and see the changes) The Kidnapping was fun. We only had four people for that room which I think made it more fun. It is kind of a small room too so if you had seven people it might feel too crowded. If you do not have experience in a room it might be helpful to have six people just so you have more varied experience to solve it. I loved the museum heist. Some fun puzzles in there, room was a decent size and lots of stuff for people to be working on at the same time so not a lot of standing around being bored. read more

Great experience! A group of friends and I went for a birthday and the staff and breakout games were great! We had a lot of fun, even though we did not breakout in time. read more
