Trapped Toledo

This is a great group activity! I thought it was going to be claustrophobic but we did Rescued 3 Agent X and it was totally fun. We had 8 in our group and escaped with 13 seconds left. Definitely work together and divide and conquer. And have fun with it. Make sure to use the facilities before being locked in. We will definitely do this again.

This place is PHENOMENAL. I went with a group of 10 for my girlfriend’s birthday and we had a blast in the Locked Down 2 The Mutiny room. First you have to find the place though, which is a bit of a trick in itself. If you park in front of the Burger Bar then you can just walk past the barbershop and take a right and it’ll be around the corner.
My first comment is about the wonderful staff. They did a fantastic job of keeping everything moving smoothly and prepping us for the experience. They laid out the rules in a very clear manner and were refreshingly friendly the entire time. As for the puzzle room itself it was a work of art. The decorations were great and had a perfect ambiance only heightened by the actor that accompanies you in the room.
The riddles and puzzles themselves were tough but not impossible and got the brain working. My group managed to succeed with a mere 40 seconds left. The entire time was energy filled and simply a great experience. I give my highest recommend and will CERTAINLY be back.

Fantastic time. We did locked down 2 worth a pirate scene. You are locked in a cell and must solve puzzles, figure out clues, and work as a team. It does matter who your group of people are so make sure your friends are fun. The actor was fantastic.

My boyfriend and I went twice so far and definitely plan on going back. It definitely is better if you know everyone you are in the rooms with but not necessarily needed. First we did the locked down #1 for his birthday and almost got out and tonight we did the infected #5 and we got infected, so even though we didnt make it out yet we still had a lot of fun. Definitely recommend this for any group.

Had a wonderful experience. We did the Infected show and look forward to doing the others. So much fun! The puzzles were challenging but that was good. And the actors were phenomenal. I can’t recommend it highly enough!

It was awesome. Some advice, when you are planning this trip try your best to fill all 12 spots with your friends. My group of 6 merged with another group of 6 and it did not work out, and ran out of time because our 2 sides did not communicate with each other. But I would DEFINITELY suggest this for any birthday, party, or just get together… thank you Trapped Toledo for this opportunity and you will definitely see me again one day!

What a neat thing to do.
I feel compelled to write a review because I had NO CLUE what to expect before I participated in my first Trapped experience, and I genuinely had a good time.
This review is specific to «Sacked,» the Christmas themed room, but I’ll share a bit about the whole place as well.
The first puzzle you may come upon is finding the place. GPS, Google, and my friend’s directions got me to the correct location, but I still could not find the place without walking around for 5 minutes. (Note: If you get to the shopping center that it is located in, park in the angled part of the L shaped plaza. Walk through the angle to the other side of the plaza and voila!) This will be the first of many puzzles.
When I was inside, I signed a waiver and gave up my cell phone and met many new folks. (I went by myself and I don’t regret it.) On the wall, they have a half dozen or so locks that have clues and puzzles on how to open them. All different kinds of locks and different kinds of puzzles, I suggest you familiarize yourself with them. There was a lock that I had never seen before and I had no clue how to use it or reset it. Now is your time to ask.
Once we were let in the room, the action started. Now, this room was a small room, 12×15 max. The actor started and was great. It really set the mood and the story on how to get out.
Next up, flip the room upside down looking for clues and figuring out puzzles.
It was semi-​chaotic but a good chaotic. There is no way just one person can figure out the clues in the allotted time (60-​minutes).
The puzzles and clues were fun. Some were easy and others you had to figure out piece by piece. I was able to solve 2 or 3 of the puzzles myself, so I felt that satisfaction that I helped out a bit. I also helped with solving riddles and deciphering clues as a group.
During the 60 minutes, we were reminded periodically how many minutes were left and let me assure you, THEY FLY BY FAST!!!
Once you are in the room, there is no ability to chit chat with folks because you are focused on getting out.
If I had a hang up, and I don’t really, I would just request a longer experience. I felt that 60 minutes was over so quickly and my brain was just getting warmed up.
I will definitely go back and experience all the other rooms. Now I have an idea of what to expect, I am bringing my thinking cap with me next time.
My challenge to the owners is a 90 minute plus experience, or even a room that unlocks to a different room… hint hint. ;)
Thank you to Trapped Toledo for spicing things up and providing a really neat experience.
My last suggestion is to plan the rest of your evening or even plan on two rooms in the same night if available. You will have fun.

This is something new and different for Toledo! A small business run by local young people, a visit to Trapped! Toledo will challenge even the best puzzle solvers. I went with friends, and we’re all pretty good with puzzles, but we still blew up (we went to Blown Away). Our group wasn’t bad, and it cost about the same as going to a movie but was much more fun. Finding them, around the back corner of the building, was the hardest part.

Was looking for a unique experience while in town recently and came across Trapped Toledo. In a nutshell, they lock you in a room with up to 11 other people and you work as a group to solve puzzles while a zombie attempts to infect you. If the zombie catches you, you are «dead» and can no longer search for clues. You get one hour to solve all the puzzles. If you fail to solve the puzzles and unlock the door, your group perishes and you lose. No spoilers, but the puzzles are really challenging. Our group had a hard time with the puzzles. I’m not super bright so I especially struggled and largely ran about the room avoiding the zombie whose chain gets longer every few minutes. Even though i was of little value to my group, I really enjoyed myself as did our group. Seems like having a group of people you know makes it more fun since teamwork is needed. We had a great time and it is really well done. The zombie actors do a pretty good job of making it feel real. They also have a room where you solve puzzles to try and diffuse a bomb. No zombies in this room. I plan on trying this room next. If you like to solve puzzles and are reasonably bright, I think you’ll have fun. Something different to try.
