Columbus Escape Rooms:

Currently being constructed, Edison’s Lost Invention is an incredibly fun, private escape room experience that will appear next in our Columbus escape room line-up at Magic Escape Rooms. We are working on the set and prop details for this game. (We’ve recently shared some drawings of one of the props on our blog.) The story and game play are finished.

While we will not share much information, we can tell you that this escape room is based off of our (portable) Columbus escape game by the same name. We invented it way back in 2018 and have had thousands of people play it. This “new” iteration of the Edison game will definitely not resemble the original; we’ve reimagined this Columbus, OH escape room into a bigger, built-in adventure. It’s story will unfold as it is played. Like the Magician’s Secret, players will step into another place in time for an adventure within the “Wizard of Menlo Park’s” personal, secret project.

3/19/25 UPDATE: We are just a few weeks away until we can start constructing this new Edison escape room adventure. As soon as we finish an update to one of our Canton rooms, and add some additional touches to the Magician’s Secret in Columbus, the set build will begin. Check out this prop rendering for the new Ed game!

4/29/25 UPDATE: We’ve begun framing walls and building the props that will be used in this exciting, downtown Columbus escape room! Rumors have been told of Edison having a secret workshop in the Commerce building back in the late 1920s. It was the time of the discovery of King Tut’s tomb and its cultural influence on Americans. Edison, himself, was inspired by this find and worked with… to develop… Hmm. More to come later!
