Columbus

Welcome to Columbus

Columbus, Ohio’s state capital, was laid out in 1812 at the confluence of the Scioto and Olentangy rivers in an area that was home to indigenous Moundbuilder cultures for over 3,000 years. Also a site of much Underground Railroad activity, a major Civil War Union Army base, and an important 19th and early 20th century industrial city, Columbus has a distinct historic feel. Pedal-powered tours with beverages and dining stops give visitors a fun look at downtown. A coffee trail, an ale trail, and numerous craft distilleries make for good walking tours. The Center of Science and Industry has been educating and entertaining for over 55 years, and kids of all ages enjoy the LEGOLAND Discovery Center.

Súper-FUN Trolley pub experience!
A super-fun experience. Lots of laughs, great fun cycling as much (or as little) as you wish! Capt. Spaz was a riot! He is very funny, and gave us a ton of city information/history. He was safe and careful going through town and took great care of us. We had two very fun stops and the peddled around. We all had a great time! Highly recommend!

It was a blast. The driver, David, was great. I'd definitely do it again. We could bring our own drinks, alcohal and non alcohol. We went on a Monday. One bar was closed. We only had 2 stops scheduled, but three bars. They the first stop and the second were far apart. I thought they'd be closer and more stops. I definitely recommend.

Worth it !
Spent over 2 and a half hours here! What a fun time with our 7 yr old. She played with other kids, learned to build a frog with Lego and got to speak with a master builder. We spent time in the movie theater as they had 4 different shows that played. Their coffee shop was great & the memories made were well worth it.

So immersive, challenging, and fun!
We had a great time with the Escapely game in Columbus!First off, I was a little wary that a “real world escape game” based in my city would be too generic and only nominally connected to real locations… but boy, was I surprised and impressed! The production quality of the game and the components was very impressive - everything about it was high quality and didn’t feel “hand made” (in a bad way) at all.Now, we’re pretty experienced with Escape rooms, and we love the Exit: The Game line from Thames and Kosmos, so we thought we’d breeze through the puzzles. Again, we underestimated the complexity of the riddles, but we enjoyed every moment. A few things we caught onto right away, but others had us scratching our heads until we had that "Eureka!" moment. We also learned that it’s good to be on the correct side of a building when trying to decipher the clues hidden in the facade. :)We spent about 3 hours from parking to ending, and successfully challenged ourselves to solve it without any hints or clues. We picked a beautiful day, enjoyed a nice walking tour around downtown, and visited places and landmarks that we had never seen before, despite having lived here for years.Overall, we loved it, and are already planning a trip to another city to try another Escapely mission out.Thanks for doing it right!

it was a great experience for my family and got us out of the house and off our phones! The puzzles weren’t too difficult and made everyone use their heads. We received the game as a Christmas gift, and considering looking into purchasing other games.
