Cincinnati Escape Room, Cincinnati

A few minutes outside of downtown, there's a place in Cincinnati that's a little bit different. A place where modern-day sleuths can travel back in time to apprentice with Sherlock Holmes. A place where those same brainiacs can go undercover in a prison and break their way out. A place where even the history of the city becomes a puzzle to be cracked. This is Cincinnati Escape Room, and these are the adventures that await:

• 221B Baker St. (22% success rate): You and your team have just one last task to complete before the great Sherlock Holmes will accept them as a partner—unfortunately, that task is to outwit Sherlock Holmes. In 60 minutes, can you break into Holmes's apartment and piece together the clues he's left for you?
• Secret Cincinnati (19% success rate): Formative moments in Cincinnati's history unfold before you, but is there a secret message to be revealed in the story of the city? You don't need to know anything about Cincinnati to succeed at this challenge, but you'll certainly know a lot by the end.
• Prison Break (28% success rate): The bad news is you're locked away in prison. The good news? That's exactly where you want to be. Somewhere in these walls is a treasure worth a fortune—but even if you find it, a fortune's no good unless you can break out of jail afterwards.
