The Christmas Heist! - CLOSEDPadlock'd Escape roomIRLThis was a perfectly serviceable Christmas-themed room. I personally preferred the Christmas-themed room at Lost Locks better, but this room still had fun elements. The first section of this room reminds me of Padlock'd's Heist-themed room and Quest's Sherlock-themed room. That isn't a bad thing; just letting you know.
Safe House: Mission 2Padlock'd Escape roomIRLI typically like rooms with themes like these. I love The Escape Game's Spy-theme game in the States, for example. What brought this otherwise perfectly serviceable room down was that it wasn't properly reset, and this caused multiple things to fail. The game master was nice, but a very, very important aspect of the room that is meant to be completed near the end was left open from a previous group. If the room was properly reset and everything worked, I would give it a thumbs up.
The Abandoned CarnivalPadlock'd Escape roomIRLThis is by far the best escape room Padlock'd offers, and I have done every room they offer (and they gave me a special pin for that, which I love). This room is big and often reserved for bigger crowds but they graciously allowed just me and my fiance to do it; we were willing to pay for empty slots. there is so much about this room i wish i could spoil, but i won't. however, if you think this is a mere escape room, you are mistaken. it contains a multitude of rooms and experiences that accurately depict what it would be like to be trapped in a carnival. some of the experiences are the kind of thing that other places would charge separately to experience on their own. This room is great for families. It is a little spooky, but it is by no means scary. It is fun, and the "fear factor" is on the level of a mild Goosebumps novel. I highly recommend this room.
The Forbidden JunglePadlock'd Escape roomIRLI was expecting to be disappointed with this room after having experienced jungle theme rooms like Ruins over in the States. However, I was pleasantly surprised. Many of the aspects of this room were designed by a company called "Indestroom," but this isn't necessarily a bad thing. This allowed some from neat effects and moments. If you are a fan of Jumanji, you'll love this room Overall, I recommend The Forbidden Jungle.
The School Of MagicPadlock'd Escape roomIRLLike this company's other "magic-themed" escape room, a lot of elements were created by the escape room company Indestroom, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Unlike this company's other "magic-themed escape room, we didn't run into a slew of broken puzzles. Everything here worked and felt magical. If you are a fan of the series that inspired this room, you should definitely give it a go.
The Serial Killer - CLOSEDPadlock'd Escape roomIRLI hate to leave a negative review of an escape room, but I am always honest in my reviews, and this room just did not hit the spot for me or my fiance. Some puzzles were broken, and some aspects did not make sense. That said, our game master was wonderful. She helped us have a great time even though the room was one of my least favorite rooms Padlock'd offers. If you want an outstanding horror-themed room from Padlock'd, try Freak Show or Nightmare. I highly recommend both of those.
R18Lost LocksEscape roomIRLthis is one of the most unique escape rooms i've ever done. this is definitely a raunchy, nc-17 rated, room with a lot of sex toy-related puzzles, but it is perfect for couples and bachelorette parties! it is more fun than it is intimidating, so don't be afraid of it. you'll have a ball.
Buried - CLOSEDPadlock'd Escape roomIRLDon't let the "buried alive" concept throw you off of this room. Yes, you are buried alive, but the coffins do not go underground (they are in a mausoleum), and they are spacious. The puzzles are unique because of the circumstances you are in and your reliance on your other partner who you cannot see and can only hear if they shout loud enough. The final clue felt arbitrary. We were lucky that we got it right, but luck definitely plays a role in the final clue. Overall, I would still recommend this room.
The Crystal MinePadlock'd Escape roomIRLI really liked this room. One of my only notes is that its various rooms were small. Had it been a little bit larger, it would have been perfect. We had a great gamemaster, and I appreciated the story.
Mad MonsterLost LocksEscape roomIRLhaving completed 56 rooms, this room is in my top 3. despite being a single room, you really must experience this. the puzzles are ingenious, the design is divine, and our game master, ryan, was so kind as to explain some of what went into conceptualizing and creating this room. my one piece of advice: before you start, make sure the handcuffs aren't too tight.
Buccaneers BountyLost LocksEscape roomIRLthis was a fun and creative room that incorporated elements some of you may be experienced with and some may not. i don't want to say more on that for fear of spoilers, but i do recommend the room to everyone. Our game master was Ryan, and he was exceptional at his job. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel comfortable and at ease. This room is a good one.
Paradise PrisonPadlock'd Escape roomIRLThis isn't my favorite Prison Escape room (that title belongs to the Escape Game's Prison Escape room in the States), but this was perfectly serviceable, and it was conveniently located. If I had to pick, I'd go with the nearby Fox In A Box Prison Escape room, but I wouldn't steer clear of this one by any means. I'm glad we did it. If you like these kinds of rooms, you'll be glad too.
The NightmarePadlock'd Escape roomIRLOut of all of Padlock'd's "horror themed" rooms, this and Freakshow are my favorites. If you like Nightmare on Elm Street, Inception, or other dream-oriented puzzles, this is a lot of fun. All of the puzzles and clues made sense.
The DollhousePadlock'd Escape roomIRLI did every room Padlock'd offers, and while some of their rooms like Abandoned Carnival, Freakshow, Nightmare, and The Museum Heist, but this room was just not good. The puzzles did not make sense, it was very, very dark and difficult to see a lot of the room, even with flashlights. Some of the scares did not match the theme of the room; and for someone who doesn't want you to help the souls they've kidnapped escape, this room's storyline operator sure does a lot to help you keep score of how many you have released. If you want to do a great room from Padlock'd, do Abandoned Carnival. If you want something scary from Padlock'd, do Nightmare or Freak Show. Skip this one.
The Magic MoonstoneEclipse EscapeEscape roomIRLThis room is huge. The size and scope of this room is breathtaking when you enter it. This room is also genius (as are all of the rooms by Escape Eclipse, and I might be their biggest fan given I have returned from the eastern United States to do their rooms, and am returning again this month. That is not a short distance.) This room is pure fantasy, and it is my fiance's favorite escape room at eclipse. In fact, we loved this room so much that in November of 2025, I surprised my fiance by throwing him a birthday party inside of this particular room. (BTW, they pay a lot of attention to detail when it is your birthday. They had little messages hidden everywhere for him). I won't tell you how they keep time in this room, but it is creative, which is the best word to describe Escape Eclipse in its entirety. We were told that the owner made many of the props by hand, but they were still movie-quality. If you enjoy fantasy and magic, this room is for you.
The FreakshowPadlock'd Escape roomIRLOut of all of Padlock'd's horror-themed escape rooms, this room and "Nightmare" are my two favorite horror-themed rooms of theirs. The scare actor is option and fun, and we had a great game master. Some of the puzzles an answers were extremely creative, and I would consider this room to be among Padlock'd's best offerings. If you can only do one "horror-themed" escape room at Padlock'd, this is the one I would recommend.
Retro RevengeEclipse EscapeEscape roomIRLThis is Eclipse Escape's spookiest room. I think the highest compliment I can pay this room is that I did it twice. Once just me and my fiance, and then a few months later with my fiance's friends on his birthday (escape eclipse hid birthday surprises throughout the room.) The puzzles in this room are clever and creative. They were truly put together by a mastermind. While some of the puzzles were hard, none of the puzzles were impossible, and all of the answers made sense. This is a brilliant room for escape enthusiasts and beginners alike. I cannot recommend this room enough. There is an option scare-actor available for this room, but we opted not to utilize the scare-actor. This room does involve restraints and blindfolds during part of it, but you will be treated with dignity throughout.
The Enchanted OfficePadlock'd Escape roomIRLThis was the first escape room I did with Padlock'd (I have since done all of them), and if I hadn't had another room booked with them later that day, I might not have ever returned. The sets are nice, theme was nice, and that makes sense because this room was largely designed by the escape room manufacturing company Indestroom, or at least, it bore many of the signs of a room designed by them. The one thing that made this room an unplesant experience is that a remarkable number of things did not work. If you have to pick, I'd select School of Magic. But, it all depends on if they have fixed the items that didn't work. If they did, then this would be a wonderful room
The Flaming PearlEclipse EscapeEscape roomIRLIf you only have the chance to do one escape room at Eclipse Escape, this is the room I recommend you do. It isn't my favorite, but it is a masterpiece unto itself. There is a lot to do, but do not worry because the puzzles make sense. This is not the kind of place that wants to make you feel dumb; the rooms are challenging, but just the right amount of challenging. They can also adjust rooms for you, and they take requests to a reasonable extent. One great thing about Escape Eclipse is they are upfront about the difficulty of their rooms, and I find them to accurate. This room feels like "concept room" rather than being a mere "story room." One more thing, when I missed an effect because my partner was working on it while I worked on something else, the game master came out at the end and offered to show it to me. Great customer service, a great room, a great experience.
