Hide a Gift, Engagement Ring, or Birthday Surprise Inside an Escape Room!
Turn Your Special Event Into an Unforgettable Hidden Quest
We offer a unique service:
FREE hidden item placement for birthday and engagement surprises.
Looking to pop the question, celebrate a milestone birthday, or surprise someone special with a custom gift? At Magic Escape Rooms in Downtown Columbus, we help you orchestrate custom surprises hidden directly inside our story-driven games!
How Our Hidden Surprise Process Works
Coordinate in Advance: Contact our team prior to your booking to let us know about your special occasion (marriage proposal, birthday gift, anniversary, or surprise reveal).
Drop Off the Gift Secretly: Deliver the item (engagement ring box, secret note, concert tickets, or gift card) to our staff prior to your game time.
Seamless Integration: Our Game Masters will secretly place your item inside a final locked safe, a hidden secret compartment, or as part of the game's climactic reveal.
The Magical Moment: As your group solves the final puzzle, the guest of honor uncovers their real-world surprise live inside the game!
Perfect Special Occasions
Marriage Proposals: Coordinate with our team to hide the ring in the final hidden compartment of The Magician's Secret for an unforgettable "YES!" Or have us plant the ring, ring box, or note inside of Edison's Lost Invention near the end of the historical discovery!
Milestone Birthdays: Hide birthday gifts, secret party invites, or custom souvenirs for kids and adults alike.
Corporate Milestones & Anniversaries: Reward team members with hidden prizes at the end of a private team-building session.
More Than a Game:
Creating Unforgettable Milestones
We believe the most powerful stories can be the ones our guests bring with them. While our rooms are filled with historical mysteries and intricate puzzles, the most rewarding "discovery" we’ve ever hosted didn't involve a hidden map or a secret code—it involved an engagement ring.
We recently had the honor of helping Jon and Annie celebrate a life-changing milestone. Jon reached out to us with a special request: he wanted to propose to Annie during their adventure inside Edison’s Lost Invention.
We worked behind the scene to seamlessly integrate his proposal into the narrative. As they navigated the 1920s-era lab equipment and pieced together the story of Edison’s final secrets, Annie found more than just a clue—she found a question that would change their lives forever: the next adventure. We are thrilled to report she said "Yes!" and we couldn't be happier to have played a small part in their journey.
Jon proposes to Annie in our Edison’s Lost Invention escape room.
