Traveling to the top of the tower and checking out the view from the observation deck is a must for any visitor or resident of Cincinnati. You and your friends planned to do just that before heading to tonight's Reds Game.

Will you and your friends be able to find your missing tickets and a way to escape The Tower quickly enough to make it to the game on time? Level of difficulty: Moderate Number of participants: 2-10

Harry Houdini, the world’s greatest magician, is searching for individuals clever enough to become his apprentices. This tremendous honor can not be given to just anyone as his apprentices will learn all the secrets behind his amazing illusions.

Only those skilled enough to pass the test by escaping his locked game room while locating his favorite props will be considered for the positions. Can you and your associates successfully challenge the master himself inside Houdini's game room? Level of difficulty: Advanced Number of participants: 2-14 (If you would like to bring more than 10 participants, please contact us.)
