Such a fun experience! This was our first time visiting Escape History but have done 10 or so rooms throughout Ohio. We tried their WWII room and ended up booking Capone right after. Spencer was an amazing host and showed our family a wonderful time. Cant wait to go back and try their 3rd room soon.
Came here with my coworkers and had a total blast. The Lincoln room was challenging and so much fun. I will most definitely be coming back with my family to try the other rooms!
One of the best escape rooms weve ever been to! Was with family visiting the Youngstown/Niles area and had heard some great things about Escape History so wanted to check them out. We ended up doing 2 of their rooms, Titanic and also The Speakeasy. There were some really cool wow factors in addition to very challenging but fun puzzles. Would be perfect for a birthday party or team building event. If youre in the area go check these guys out! Absolutely recommend Escape History.
This was a fun experience. We look forward to trying a different room soon. Staff member was very nice and helpful.👍👍
Our GM team was traveling through the area and we heard great things about Escape History so wanted to check it ourselves. We absolutely LOVED their Titanic room. Was 4 of us total and wish we had time to stay and do more but the team was very friendly and took some time to chat about their passion for escape rooms too. We highly recommend these guys and if youre in the area looking for something fun to do this is it!
Very helpful staff and great rooms. We did their Capone room and got out with just 2 minutes left! Loved the use of the space and good price for what you get. Fun experience with family detaching from phones and technology. Highly recommend visiting escape history if youre in the Niles area.
I loved the time I had here. I did the Titanic room with my family and had a great time. The room wasnt too challenging, but it also wasnt too easy. They have 2 other rooms with varying difficulty. The employee there offered good help and was very friendly. Definitely recommend to people who enjoy escape rooms
Really fun experience! The host and staff were all very nice and did a good job of explaining the rooms. Went with 5 friends and did their speakeasy and titanic escape rooms. We got out of both with just 2 minutes to spare! Highly recommend for friends/family or a good team building activity. Thanks Escape History!
We did all 3 rooms in one night. This was not the best escape room experience we have had nor was it the worst. The theme and story lines are good. The rooms have wires that they could have at least attempted to hide and fragile things that if you look wrong might not work right.
Update from 5/7: After hearing I wasnt totally satisfied with my visit, the owner, Josh, reached out to me. He invited me back to try another room, so my group did the Lincoln room and had a much better experience! Josh and his wife were very friendly and helpful. The Lincoln room was much better designed than the Titanic room, and the puzzles were very enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this room.We did the Titanic and the Mummy theme at Escape History. Most of our group had done an escape room before, and we were all super excited to try out a local place! Unfortunately we werent blown away by the experience. Our game master didnt seem very happy about being there or getting us excited about the experience at all. At one point when we needed a hint we were told it would be a minute since the other room that was going on also needed a hint. Not a great thing to hear when we are racing against the clock! The room was decorated with nice vintage looking items which help set the scene. Overall we thought the room was decently challenging, but we would have liked to solve more puzzles rather than just finding combinations to locks. One of the few puzzles that didnt involve padlocks actually malfunctioned and opened before we had found all of the pieces. We ended up coming out of the room slightly frustrated from mechanical issues in the room and the nature of our game master. One of our players stuck himself on one of the exposed screws in the room, so that may be something to watch for with children. While our group did enjoy our experience, Id say this escape room definitely has some areas to improve on.
Fun escape rooms and helpful employees! We did Capone’s Speakeasy and got out with just 2 minutes to spare. Loved the puzzles and technology.Definitely recommend checking out Escape History next time you’re in the Niles/Youngstown area.
We met these guys at a convention and were eager to try their rooms - they did not disappoint! The owners were very nice and friendly and gave us a tour of their space after the games. Our favorite room was the Titanic and then Speakeasy (didnt have a chance to do the 3rd). Great for all ages and families loved the history theme as well.
What a great place. Staff was great, rooms are clean and interesting. We took our Crew and had a great time. Looking to go back and do the other rooms. Very well put together, staff is very professional, and I would highly recommend using Escape History for team building, or just plain fun! We are still talking about our experience. Thank you for a great evening!
It was my husbands birthday and we were desperate for a night away from the kiddos. I had heard about escape rooms but never went. we had such a hard time choosing due to being history buffs but we picked the titanic and so glad we did. we had so much fun figuring out puzzles, riddles and finding clues. we are so excited to book our next visit to a different room , would like to experience all of them at some point. if you need a night out and tired of doing the usual..... this is worth the visit.
Would absolutely recommend! This was our first time doing this and we had a blast. The staff was also very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be going back again to try the other rooms.
Had an amazing time at Escape History in Niles! Was visiting Youngstown with some friends and ended up doing their Speakeasy room. Beautiful set and great puzzles. The staff was very helpful and friendly and looking forward to going back and doing their other 2 escape rooms. Highly recommend for team building events or just a fun night out with friends and family.
My family and I had an amazing time doing their Titanic room! Went on a Sunday and the gentleman working was very nice. It was all our first time doing an escape room and are already hooked - cant wait to go back and try their others! Thank you Escape History!
My family and I did their Speakeasy escape room and had an amazing time. The staff was very friendly and the kids loved the puzzles and game. Highly recommend checking Escape History out and looking forward to trying their other rooms.
Excellent staff and rooms! We loved the two we did (Titanic and Speakeasy?) Went last Friday with family and they couldnt stop talking about it. Highly recommend checking these guys out if youre in the Niles/Youngstown area! Thanks escape history.
Great experience and friendly staff! Loved all 3 of Escape History’s rooms. Favorite was probably Titanic or The Speakeasy. If you’re ever in the Youngstown/Niles area definitely go check these guys out! Highly recommend.
First time in an escape room. Pretty cool experience. Maybe like a MYST game for adults a bit, (showing my age). The room we selected was the easiest of the 3 available, and good level to start at.Good group activity. And Josh was pleasant, insightful and helpful.Give one a try if you havent.
Super fun! I would like to come again. We did the Al Capone room, and it was super fun trying to figure out how to get out of the room. The workers were super nice too! I suggest coming here, it’s fun.
Went with my family to do a couple of their escape rooms and we all had a fantastic time! Kids loved it and I definitely recommend for all ages. Manager was very helpful and nice. Thanks for a great experience Escape History!
A great idea for a date night or night out with friends! The rooms are vintage and the plots are based on historical events. My husband and I were trapped in the Lincoln room and had an hour to find our way out. The clues was difficult, but not hard and it was the fastest hour of my life! I can’t wait to go again.
Very friendly staff and great rooms! Visited with our team a couple months ago and met some of the owners. Highly recommend if youre passing by or live in the area to check Escape History out. Thanks again for a great time!
We are already planning to return, to experience the other escape rooms here! My crew had a blast, no matter the age!
We had a mixed experience. The gentleman running the place was super nice and helpful. About four of the locks did not work correctly causing us to not be able to proceed or give away clues too early.
Visited the new Capone Room. Really interesting experience in finding all the clues. A little luck carried us through. 1 star off from technical difficulties that didnt allow us to open everything in a timely manner. Otherwise, totally worth a visit!
Had a great time! My mom and I did the Titanic room. We ESCAPED!! Spencer was GREAT and very professional
We did the Titanic experience and it was a lot of fun. I just dont think it is worth $30 I think its a little pricey
Great place to go and visit! I have done all three rooms and they are a blast! Employees are super friendly and the place is also super clean. Thanks Escape History, I will be back!!!
Wonderful place! Donated to our K-8 school walk-A-Thon without hesitation, lucky to have such great community partners in our area! thank you for supporting local schools!
Escape History is a generous sponsor, for the second year in a row, for an escape room held at the McKinley Birthplace Home in March. Thank you for your generous support!
Really fun, nice rooms, but ours was not properly set up after the previous games. Missing one item and one puzzle that stuck.
Fun escape room, we did the Titanic experience. Staff was very friendly, and helped us with hints when we needed them!
We had such a great time.....very inquisitive finds......if you love mental puzzles you will LOVE this. We did the Titanic & it was great!!!
I really enjoyed the rooms that I have done. The staff there are also very welcoming and friendly. I recommend trying a room if you haven´t.
This place was terrible. We have done many escape rooms in the past. This has been the worse. None of the clues made sense or were connected. Do not waste your money.
This was a very good time,excellent setup,I would recommend this business for a night out with the family for fun.
Such a fun escape room experience! You really feel like you have been transported back in time to solve a mystery and change history.
Just went with my family, ages 8-80, and had a great time together solving the Lincoln Room!
I took my daughters and friends for a birthday celebration. They had so much fun trying to figure out all of the clues.
We did the Hitlers Spear room.Lots of fun ! We beat it ! We are 2 for 3 in O hi O!
Awesome room! And as usual great help and hints, and kind helpful staff
This was the most fun, it was very challenging, cant wait to do another room..
Not very interactive, props didnt open/work properly.
Generous staff who donated tickets to our school fundraiser. Looking forward to visiting their establishment soon.
The staff is amazing to work with. Definitely would recommend this place to everyone!!!

2022-01-24This place is great! It was a really fun challenge and it’s set up really nicely. Spencer was our “game master” and he was friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better especially since my whole group was new and not sure what to expect. It’s definitely not as easy as I thought it would be but that made it even more fun! And you are able to ask for hints which helped but didn’t totally give it away. Overall a really great time!

2021-12-06Had an amazing time with friends at Escape History! We tried their Titanic room and got out with just a few minutes to spare. The game master was very nice and helpful and the facility was well kept and clean. Puzzles were challenging and there was enough to keep everyone in our group busy. Will certainly go back highly recommend.

2022-06-19This was a spur of the moment activity and we are so glad we did it. Carson was our games master and he was awesome. The Al Capone room allows you to explore a hint of a criminal mind...lol.The facility was very organized and clean. Give it a shot you wont be disappointed. Hint: to save time, complete your waiver on-line.We got out of the building before blowing it up although we had to dive we were so close.

2021-02-14Visited some friends in Niles and did Escape Historys Titanic Room last month. Had a blast we originally wanted to do Capone but they were booked for the day and the host was very nice and was able to accommodate our group. Place was really clean and had cool puzzles. Highly recommend checking them out - next time Im in the area Ill be back to try their other rooms!

2021-09-19We did two rooms in one day and both were fully engaging and entertaining. The rooms were well designed and thought out. Clues were timely from the game master and truly helpful. I plan on coming back for the third room soon.

2021-07-18Weve done a few escape rooms in the past and wanted to try one in Niles/Youngstown while driving through, glad we stopped in! The manager was very nice and helpful, we did their Capone room which was challenging but we had an amazing time. Good location right by the mall so plenty of places to eat and hang out afterwards. Thanks Escape History!

2020-09-22My friends and I visited Escape History last month and did their WWII room which was a blast! The host was very nice and helpful - the puzzles were challenging but not too difficult and we got out with 3 minutes to spare. Well definitely be back to try their other rooms soon. Lots of good rooms in the Niles/Youngstown area but this is definitely one of our favorites.

2021-04-30Had an amazing time at Escape History! We did their Capone and Titanic rooms last Saturday. The location was very clean and easy to find. Host was great and unfortunately they were fully booked otherwise we wouldve tried their last room. Looking forward to going back sometime soon.
