I walked in with my girlfriend and they said I required a reservation and they stated details could be found on their website. Below is a copy and paste from their website and there is no reservation mentioned. Poor service poor staff would not recommend. Welcome to Great Escape Game! We have changed our escape rooms to private room experiences. This means that you will not be in the room with individuals that you do not know. We have also completely changed our schedule to ensure no two groups arrive at the same time. Each Escape Game is a reallife escape room adventure for a small or large

Ive done all the games here and passed them all with 2-4 players. Theyre all really fun! Most recently our game master was Michael and he was very helpful and friendly. Highly recommend!

My family just finished Prison Break and it was so much fun. Sydney was amazing at giving us just enough of a clue to move forward. We booked another one!

I had a great time at Great Escape Dayton! I went with a group of friends and we did the Area D escape room. We found it challenging, but not impossible, and our game master Michael helped us along the way but appropriately - not giving away too much. I plan to return!
