About this tour

Bring your team together for a puzzle-filled adventure at The Banks, in the heart of downtown Cincinnati. Cincinnati Escape Game at The Banks offers five interactive adventures, including Prison Break, described as the venue’s most challenging game. Each mission invites you to follow clues, solve puzzles, and work together toward your goal.

The game itself lasts one hour, with 15 minutes beforehand for preparation and a briefing and 15 minutes afterward to debrief and take photos. Most rooms accommodate up to eight players, while Playground can host up to 12. Unless you reserve every spot, other guests may join your team. The games are adventurous rather than scary, and each room has an exit button if you need to step out.

Located on Freedom Way near the Bengals and Reds stadiums, Cincinnati Escape Game makes an easy addition to a downtown outing. Nearby dining options include Yard House, Taste of Belgium, and Condado Tacos, and the riverfront is close by for a post-game stroll.

How the score works and rating distribution in Cincinnati
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 9.4. Top 2% in Cincinnati means it ranks in the top 2% of tours in Cincinnati by this score.
