Outdoor Escape Room in Downtown Columbus

A self-guided, two-hour clue-solving trail around downtown Columbus with clues on murals, statues, and landmarks

Duration: 2 hours
Service animals welcome

An immersive clue‑solving adventure around downtown Columbus that blends a scavenger hunt, an escape room and an urban crawl. As you move through the area, you will follow a storyline that sends you to new spots, asks you to crack puzzles and invites you to explore the neighbourhood in a hands‑on way.

You will search for real‑world clues and use them to solve codes, then enter your solutions in the app to reveal where to go next. Clues may appear on murals, statues, landmarks and other local features, so you should expect a mix of public art and neighbourhood highlights as part of the experience. The difficulty level is adjustable, and you can take as many or as few hints as you like, so the challenge will suit a range of experience levels.
