What is the Difference Between an Escape Room & an Immersive Adventure?

By definition, an escape room, or “room escape,” is a place where you must search for clues, and solve puzzles to escape the room before time runs out. Online room escapes, first called “escape games,” had web players searching for “a key” to exit the door.

Today, you’ll see escape game used interchangeably for portable games (like we offer) as well as for built-in escape room adventures. (You can read more about this topic, here: Escape Game vs. Escape Room.)

Even though we use the word “escape room” to describe our downtown Columbus business, our philosophy is to never lock people in rooms, and we do not care so much about guests beating a clock. Instead, players at Magic Escape Rooms receive a mission and work together to complete that mission at our Columbus escape room location.

An “immersive adventure,” differs from the “breakout game,” and incorporates custom props that naturally fit within the game’s theme. Our custom-built props may require players to perform fun tasks, or solve puzzles, to complete a thrilling mission.

Our adventures are multi-room sets. We offer unlimited hints from our game masters and never have you play with strangers.

When we use keys and locks, it is for specific reasons - usually to fit the time era of the game. That said, our Columbus escape rooms are GEN 3 with lots of electronics and special effects built-in, behind-the-scene, for satisfying solves and invigorating awe-inspiring moments. We want guests to feel gratified after completing their unique escape room experience.
