SO much fun! Our group of 13 year olds had a blast! A lot of laughs, challenging clues, and a little scary made for a really great time! Highly recommend.

As an escape room enthusiast having done over 100 rooms in 3 states I have to say "What Happened to Detective Magnum" is by far the BEST! Great attention to detail creates a feeling of full immersion into the 80's, and into a story line unlike any other room. I love rooms that are not just a series of locks but use very creative ways to get you from one step to the next, and the room's creator does just that. There were many surprises I've not experienced in other rooms. While there is not an "in-room actor" the gamemaster does interact more than most rooms which I found to be very enjoyable. Rudy

We did both Mutiny (a pirate ship) and Floor 23 (an elevator) themed rooms. Wow both were amazing! We do a lot of escape rooms and we think Columbia has the best weve done. Both had a lot of unique challenges to complete to find clues. Loved them!! We had 4 of us in the elevator and 5 for the pirate ship. Worked out great. The effects in the elevator were perfect and the pirate ship had some surprises right up front!! Hannah also ensured the experience was fun start to finish! Thank you! Well be back to do the 80s room next!!

Jessica was our game master as we played the Wizard. Super nice and sweet. She was definitely there to help. I would love to have her as a game master again. Can't wait to return.

A lot of fun! The Wizard room was challenging, but not ridiculously difficult. We had 9 people & finished in 40 minutes... 6 people would be a better number. Hannah was a great hostess.

Our group escaped from the Mutiny room! It had a great pirate ship atmosphere and Jessica was a fantastic game master. She fully explained the rules and what to expect. I liked how we were given time remaining warnings, as well as the increments in which they were given. It was such a fun and entertaining experience! Best team building hour spent with friends and co-workers!
