During an expansion of our venue, we stumbled upon a doorway to a new world. A world of absolute nightmarish darkness. No one knows where this world came from or how long this lightless space has been here, but the only person to venture inside (one of our employees) has yet to return. Knowing the traps and puzzles already in our venue we fear the nightmares that might come from within. We need your help to find, rescue and escape this dark world and bring back our friend, ALIVE!

Dark Dungeon has straightforward tactile puzzles and tasks, with fun moments and some potential for big scares. A unique concept and best played by a group of enthusiastic scaredy cats. When we arrived at Lost Locks we were greeted very warmly by Ryan who was lovely to chat to. We felt very generously taken care of by our game master Sam, her intros really drew you in and set the scene and her enthusiastic debriefs were much appreciated. This business has really wonderful top tier games and we can't wait to come back and try some more. The atmosphere is fun, the vibes are excellent and we're very excited to see what games they release in the future.

What an experience. ‘Dark Dungeon’ offers a pitch-black room in which to play the game — no blindfolds needed to maintain the visionless experience. It is truly incredible that, even after spending the majority of the time in the room, your eyes don’t grow accustomed to the darkness. You simply can’t see… anything. The puzzles flow well and are balanced to compensate for the lack of vision. The atmosphere and textures players feel throughout the space are intriguing and help clearly signpost what is and isn’t connected. The ending was something else. I LOVED it. I don’t want to say any more because I don’t want to give anything away. As a horror fan, this was possibly my favourite escape room horror moment — it would be between this and the ending of Cipher Room’s ‘Mr Pepper’s Toy Shop’ in Sydney. At the time of writing, having played essentially every open escape room on the Gold Coast, I can confidently say that this is one of — if not the — best escape experiences in the city.
Gameplay
The linearity of the room lends to the sensory experience. It was clear that the room had been carefully designed and iterated to deliver a thoroughly enjoyable escape experience. The ending was a delight, and tickled my love of horror in such a big way.
Atmosphere
I’ve played another room that is played without vision by wearing eye masks, but ‘Dark Dungeon’, impressively, is played in a room without the need for a mask. It is truly that dark. I kept expecting my eyes to adjust, but they never did. The aesthetics and textures of the room were great.
Customer service
The Lost Locks team is always welcoming, and not just to us — to everyone that walks through their doors. It’s nice to see such warm hospitality.
Particularly interesting or different
Yes
Playing without vision in a room so dark you don’t need blindfolds, and that ending — very unique, very, very enjoyable.

I enjoyed the subtle reference to an earlier Lost Locks room!

This is a unique room where if utilising the full allocated time, everything except the last 5 minutes takes place completely in the dark. This very different experience was fun, scary and satisfying. Although there was not many puzzles, this is understandable because of the nature of this room.

Nice room! Really fun doing it in pitch black darkness, can‘t see a thing. Puzzles are somewhat easy and quick to do once you find the clues or parts needed. Could probably be a couple more puzzles, as we got out in under half the time and there would be so much more time to it. But overall, a really nice room and unique experience:)

Really enjoyed the room, you need to be very cautious cause the whole thing is dark but it’s very fun overall, simple puzzles that create challenges in the dark too.
Gameplay
We had some issues with one of the puzzles getting stuck but other then that very fun!
Atmosphere
It was completely dark so don’t need too much to for the atmosphere- the last puzzle is very fun though
Customer service
The two girls on were really great!!

Fun concept because of the dark aspect, so relying on your other senses
Story
Was not really focused on the story and more so focused on the fact that I was terrified
Difficulty
Medium
The room is not that difficult but it’s tough because you can’t see, I’d also say having more then 4 people felt like a lot in this room and meant a couple people had to sit out for some puzzles
