Ohio's Immersive Art Experience - Otherworld

Enter another world in this impressive art experience, located in Columbus, Ohio! Expect the unexpected at every twist and turn, with all rooms interconnecting in a weave of art. Look in every corner for hidden rooms and crawling spaces to different places.

If you are looking for something to do and are near Ohio, look no further. After taking a day trip to Columbus specifically to see this art gallery, I have zero regrets. In fact, I already want to repeat the exact same experience to explore it even more!

They did an excellent job of creating an open-world space that you have to figure out and explore on your own. 

No maps. No guides. No explanations.

Just exploring on your own and seeing what puzzles you can unravel, including puzzles that interconnect secretly across the entire gallery! Unfortunately, you cannot take photos on a tripod so my images are not the highest quality (being at a much higher ISO in order to get enough light in these dimly lit spaces), but here are images of all of my favorite spaces.
