Very disappointed with our experience. We brought three children, and the room was so dimly lit that flashlights were essential but not provided. One important audio clue was so quiet, while another nearby item was much louder, that we could never understand it. Another required puzzle relied on manual dexterity rather than problem-solving and didn't fit the storyline. It was more frustrating than fun. Unsurprisingly, we didn't finish the room, but the biggest disappointment came afterward. The staff wouldn't explain what we had missed or even tell us how the mystery ended. Instead, they hinted that we should pay to come back and try again. After spending a couple hundred dollars, we left frustrated, without any sense of closure, and with no intention of returning. read more

I'd like to bring to your attention the horrible experience we had at the Florence location. Not only was Phoenix an awful game host, she informed us at the very beginning that she wasn't in a very good mood and wouldn't be providing clues since it's at her discretion, but my daughter and I both got injured in the room. She continued to let us try to figure it out and get hurt instead of providing a clue. When we did ask for a clue, she told us things that we had already solved. Was she even paying attention to the game at all? It's because of experiences like this that we haven't been to Sherlock's in over a year and will not be back. read more

We had a blast and we escaped. The staff was very friendly and gave us hints when we needed it. We did the bank heist room and it even had a bomb to blow the vault door. read more

We had a great experience here. We did the Jr. Jungle room with my seven year old and 11-year-old nephew. The time limit for that room is 30 minutes, so a bit shorter than the other rooms (also a bit more reasonably priced per person). was perfect for us, and we made it out in 20 minutes! The staff did a great job helping with simple clues. read more

Sherlock's Escape Rooms - Starting our adventure! - Escape Games Near Me - Florence, Kentucky

Had a blast! My first time doing an escape room and didn't know what to expect, but ended up having a lot of fun in the Cabin in the Woods. Staff is great and knows how to keep it fun. We solved it with 30 seconds to spare We had about 8 people in our group and I think that was too many - some of us were just standing around while others huddled around the clues. Would love to come back and try a different room! read more

I give it a 4 star only because it was pretty freaking pricy for what it was. 70+ dollars for two people to be in there for one hour. Fun to try for a family members birthday but certainly wouldn't go on our own terms due to the price. Our game master Ellie was great though! read more

Robyn was our room master and boy oh boy did she make our night a fun one! 11/10 recommend 110/10 if Robyn is there! read more

Sherlock's Escape Rooms - Fun - Escape Games Near Me - Florence, Kentucky

We had an excellent time at Sherlock's Escape Room!!! We had Gage and he was great! Super patient with kids!

i've gone to so many escape rooms and i just had the worst experience ever. it seemed as though the person running the room for us wasn't paying any attention and just letting us struggle after us repeatedly asking for the hints we are allotted. every time he did come on to assist, he was laughing as if he was mocking us for struggling. he closed early right after we walked out the door so it seems like he was setting the other rooms up for closing so he could walk out the same time we did. thanks kaiden! i'll make sure not to come back to this one. read more

Shout out to Elliott tonight. She was amazing We had a ball and having you as a instructor made it better!!! Thank you so much read more

I had a great time with friends at this escape room. There was an error right at the end that set us back, but they reset the trick and we got out! read more

Wow. What can I say. We did 2 virtual rooms with a different company this morning and we were soured from that experience. We were pretty low on our expectations for this one but since we were already paid we proceeded. This is night and day above the others. I can't believe how interactive this was. It was themed perfectly and we were able to escape in record time. They had one guy in the room as the participant. He did everything we asked of him and was in character the whole time. I would do another and another and another with this company. We were connected in 3 separate locations across the US We didn't have any technology issues (that weren't self induced ) I would recommend this for any escape room lovers read more

we had tons of fun Mackey was a great host! Would highly recommend to anyone. the puzzles were interesting and we almost almost solved and will definitely be back. read more

Loved the interactiveness of the game host (Log) when needed, and the facility has a lot of game options to choose from! The escape room itself was really well done, but getting a change to watch some video footage afterwards took the cake! Wish we lived nearby - we'd visit again really soon! read more

Sherlock's Escape Rooms - Getting ready!! - Escape Games Near Me - Florence, Kentucky

Was invited for a friend's birthday party and we had such a blast! It was me, one other adult, and 7 kids- so needless to say we didn't make it out successfully (it was ALL the kids fault... ). But we had a blast the entire time! Our room felt clean and we had plenty of space to move around. Our party host was wonderful and super helpful with clues... she may have felt sorry for us, I don't know... read more

Sherlock's Escape Rooms - Wasn't suppose to take photos inside- which I totally understand! But my kiddo was on the wanted poster and I got a kick out of it! - Escape Games Near Me - Florence, Kentucky

The escape room was as fun as I had hoped! The employees got into their role introducing the particular room you'd be going into and explained the rules and how they'd give out clues very well. The room itself was definitely challenging and while we didn't escape, we did get just a few steps away from getting out. (We like to blame that on choosing a 10pm start time, so I'd recommend going a little earlier.) It seems like it would be a perfect place for a kids birthday party and was also entertaining for adults too, given that they have different levels of rooms depending on if it's just children or adults involved. All in all, something fun and different to do! read more

Our Family visited Sherlock's Escape Rooms not long ago. The room itself was rather small and the clues were really difficult! We did manage to make it out "alive"-fortunately we have some really smart people in our group! It made for an enjoyable night out. We even took our 14 and 15 year olds with us! It was a really cool experience! read more

Went for a family night out and would definitely recommend. Savannah made the experience even more fun. read more

Came in tonight with four friends to tackle an escape room and had a Wild Wild West of a good time tonight!! Shout out to our master escapologist for all the helpful hints!! 10/10 would recommend Xander!!! read more

Anytime I enter an escape room with strangers, I always ask the question "Should we go ahead and designate a 'pee' corner now?" It sets the tone for the experience and shows my teammates that I'm in it to win it. GAME ON. I love escape rooms. I'm a firm believer that doing a crappy escape room is better than doing no escape room at all. I've done a lot of them in the Cincinnati area and let me tell you...Sherlock's is among the best. Let me lay some FAQs, on you: 1) Tyler, what makes Sherlock's Escape Room so good? Simple, the owner cares and displays an attention to detail. I actually got the chance to meet the owner while visiting and asked him about the business and why he started it. The owner (sadly, I cannot remember his name) has children at that awkward age where they were too old for Chuckie Cheese, but too young to enjoy boring adult stuff. Voila! Sherlock's Escape Room was born. The rooms at sherlock's have strong and consistent themes and the clues are challenging, but logical. After you finish, the staff brings you to the lobby where they show you some video clips of you making an ass of yourself in said escape room (truly, delightful). If you have a large group, I would recommend the Wild West themed room. 2) Tyler, is it expensive to go to Sherlock's Escape Room? Yikes, yes. But, they're pretty on-par when comparing to other escape rooms. A one-hour escape room will set you back $26 for one ticket. Or, $52 if you're like me and funding a date that will never go anywhere. 3) Tyler, can I bring my younger kids to the escape room? As long as they don't get in my way. Most escape rooms are aimed at a more 12+ age range, but Sherlock's has its very own "Sherlock Jr." room for children 7-12 or adults who want to look like a badass in front of younger kids. Enjoy! read more

I went here with some friends for a ladies night out. I had never done an escape room, so had no idea what to expect. The staff were very helpful and friendly. We did the cabin in the woods. The name of the girl who helped us escapes me, Lily maybe. At any rate, she was great. We did pretty well, but didn't quite make it out. It was a lot of fun anyway, it makes me want to go back and try again. I would definitely recommend trying it out! read more

Fantastic!!!! We booked eight virtual escape rooms for our middle school group. It was something very new for all of us to try and to please middle school virtually. They all loved it! 64 kids. Happy! The owners were a pleasure to work with. They patiently answered my dozens of questions and provided an incredible product. We can't wait to book my daughters virtual birthday party with them and another escape room as a family and another with friends. Considering these times, it's nice to have joy and I thank their company for this incredible option. read more

Im from California and stopped in for some fun. It was great family time and our host Mia was amazing!! We can't wait to go back and try it again!! read more

We had a lot of fun trying to escape the cabin. Their were three of us and I wish we had a few more people to help. It was challenging trying to get out, which we didn't, but it didn't ruin the fun. We had two adults and a 14 year old and everyone had a blast. I would come back again, with a few more reinforcements. The owner was funny and we loved looking at the pictures of us at the end. They were too funny. Lots of great moments of us looking very confused. They were very flexible with us calling and being able to accommodate us running a few minutes late and not being able to be their 15 minutes early. read more

My three friends and I had a great time escaping the Cabin in the Woods! Colleen was a great game master and was super fun to work with. The photos and videos they take are something I haven't seen at other escape rooms... they're really fun to watch when you're done! The room looked great, which was also better than other rooms I've done... it really looked like we were in a cabin. The only thing I didn't like was that they briefed all the games in the main waiting area by the desk. It got loud and crowded, and I think we could've been shown the intro video in our escape room on the little screen that they use to keep time and give clues. They also could have given us a clearer introduction to the game... we were sort of unsure when to start because we were never told 'go'. But overall, it was a really fun experience, and I would definitely be willing to go back and try another room! read more

We have done a few escape rooms over the last few years and we found this little gem in northern ky on YELP. Savannah was our guide and made the whole experience fun. We did the pirate escape room and she explained our mission and helped us during the game. Another unique extra they offer is costumes for guests to wear. So yes, we were pirates, argh matey! The room has numerous challenges that will keep you focused and many times confused trying to unravel the mystery to make your escape happen. read more

This place was such a great time. The hostess girls were lots of fun and friendly. They helped us through some difficulties. My group loved the challenge and would definitely recommend this to other ppl. read more

This escape room was so fun! Gerald was our host and he made it so much fun! We were able to escape the cabin in the woods with 8 minutes to spare. We have done escape rooms before but this one was definitely different and more fun! I would definitely recommend! Thank you for a great time! My friend from New Mexico was in town and it was her first time doing any escape room and she loved it! read more

Loved it! So creative and amazing puzzles. Four rooms to choose from plus clean. Friendly staff. My only suggestion would be a separate staging room with a coat room. read more

Great escape room. They have like 5 different rooms. Average price. Great staff. Gracie did great. Would visit here again, but I'm from Raleigh. Would recommend for Cincinnati area read more

This was an amazing day! We had my sons birthday here. The room was so much fun. The staff was amazing and they made it super fun! This was a very fun day for all of us. Little things stood out like the fact that the doors where held open for me by one of the workers when I came back with the pizzas, Ace 3 helped my husband with our cooler. It was really a A+ experience. We couldn't have been more happy! read more

Arrived 15 minutes before the escape room was scheduled to start, waited in the lobby until after the scheduled start time and was only then told they didnt have the personnel to do it and we would have to wait until the next one 90 minutes later. Disappointed. read more

Have been here twice in the past week and it's amazing!! Robyn was our host and she is absolutely amazing, she makes the game so much more fun and connects with us to make the experience the best it can be. The attic is easily the best room if you cannot decide! read more

Great games, friendly staff. Highly recommend! Bring your A game and a your smart friend!!

I booked my two daughters, ages 8 and 10, for the Jr. Sherlock room and it was a great experience. My girls had never been to an escape room before and were excited but apprehensive going in. Steve greeted us when we come in and was great at putting them at ease and getting them ready for the game. Since no one else was playing at the time Steve let me watch(and listen) to them on the big screen in the lobby. He explained everything to me as they went along and helped them out with clues via a walkie-talkie. They didn't end up escaping before time ran out but they still had a fun time and are already begging to go back and try one of the other rooms as a family! read more

Alright y'all I finally did an escape room for the first time! I thought it was fun if you enjoy a brain teaser. So my friends and I did the Cabin in the Woods room at 8:30pm. We had a total of 5 people in the room with us. I believe the maximum number of people allowed is 12, which I think 12 would be far too many at once. It would be "too many cooks in the kitchen" as you could say. So I think 5 was perfect. The staff was very professional and fun. The clues within the room were tricky and creative. We were given 60 minutes to escape the room, by that time we were on the last clue and FAILED to escape! Overall it was a fun experience, they offer several different rooms and even a junior room. The only downfall is I felt it was very spendy. For one hour of entertainment it costed me (and only me) $29 including taxes. If it was cheaper I'd love to try more rooms in the future! read more

It's not about being right. It's about creating an incredible experience! Several colleagues and I booked a session this week in order to experience an Escape Room together for the first time. As professionals in the learning and development field, we were hoping to participate in an enjoyable experience, stepping outside of the role we typically play, facilitating experiences. The online booking process was confusing - there are two locations to select from. The calendar invite that is provided once you have paid provides the Florence Address in the location field. So, though one may think they are booking at their Cold Spring location, the confirmation leads you to believe otherwise. I should have called to clarify, shame on me. On the day of our session, we arrived at the Florence location, following the address on the invite, for our 5:30 game, we were instructed that we had, in fact, booked at the Cold Spring location. While speaking to the associate at the counter, Steve, the owner came out looking ready for a fight. He was visibly flustered, literally ran from the back room to the front and was red faced. He let us know that we were the first and only individuals who had, "ever been confused by their booking process" and that he was "shocked that it showed up in our email" with the Florence Location. Despite being shown 2 copies of the invite on our phones and the emailed confirmation, he argued that it was our email's issue, not his. The company we work for uses the Microsoft Outlook App. Because he had someone waiting for us in Cold Spring, he refused to even consider letting us play in Florence due to having someone scheduled to work there and the Florence site having bookings that evening (understandable). However, when we shared that we weren't able to make the 20-30 minute commute, in rush hour, to get to Cold Spring and complete the session before our next reservation of the evening, he continued to argue sharing "sorry, that is the best that I can do," telling me that the situation was "created by you and therefore your fault." He indicated that the $100+ spent for the experience could not and would not be refunded and that if we wanted to rebook, they would charge an additional $15 fee. Having to go and support a session underway, Steve offered to have his manager call us (interesting since he is the owner). When Heather called, she was polite and offered to save the amount paid as a credit for a future session. Reluctant to speak to anyone else at the company, I agreed. Perhaps it will make a nice gift for my worst enemy? read more

Well, we had three teenagers that were each charged $2.10 per person. Once we called and asked why, they said they would reimburse it back ... it came in the form of a coupon. Maybe that is not the way it should have been done, but it was. read more

Had a great time doing the Shipwreck room! It's very family and first-timer friendly. Even though most of the rooms have ominous names, we were told there is no gore in any of their rooms. He showed us pictures and videos afterwards that he took during our time locked up and they were hilarious! If we're ever in the area again, we'd definitely go back. read more

Was fun time, the room was hard Wild West. Person ran the room Xan was fun.
