51 escape rooms

having 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.

Accessibility

in my humble opinion, this game would not be wheelchair accessible . as for hearing impairments, i have profound hearing loss, and i had no problem playing this room. as for visual impairment, there is low lighting in this room, so call ahead with any questions before booking it.

Surprisingly fun and engaging despite it being a single-room experience. Cool concept and sick finale, though I do wish it could’ve been longer, as most experienced teams would likely finish it in under half the allotted time.

This was a short but fun experience. I haven’t played anything like this room and its ending was great and unique.

There wasn’t much of a story, although you could guess through the puzzles.

What a fun experience! We’ve never encountered anything like this and it certainly was an enjoyable experience! This room kept us on our toes, knowing a hungry monster was on the look out for us, and forced us to communicate and work together in unique ways. Great concept with a great execution!

Unfortunately, this escape room didn’t meet expectations. The puzzles lacked quality and creativity, and it felt cheap. I usually enjoy rooms by Lost Locks, but this one just didn’t deliver. Given that it’s priced at the higher end compared to other escape rooms in the Surfers area, I expected a certain standard as a baseline. Instead, I walked away feeling underwhelmed and that the experience wasn’t worth the cost. I would recommend another room.

Issues with mechanical components of the puzzle left us disappointed. Seemed simple but the puzzles were not clear and quite obtuse with their clarity, was no debrief with our game master compared to the other rooms which also disappointed myself.

Gameplay

Short and unexciting

Atmosphere

Lighting was great

Customer service

Staff at the venue are amazing, our gamemaster for this room was nice enough but no where near the same quality as the other two. He seemed more interested in getting us in and out asap, maybe it was just busier.

Lost Locks is absolutely Incredible, Fun and Immersive, The Game Masters explain the room to you in detail. Give you the back story of the adventure you’re about to embark on and they do it in such a manor that you feel welcomed (like you don’t want to escape! lol). We had the pleasure of meeting Morgan our Game Master. She made our experience even better when giving us clues and hints saying that we had to tug on certain things a little harder to unlock certain clues, as we didn’t want to break anything. We have also had the pleasure of meeting other Game Masters, Such as Fluer, Nick and Miles and each time we attend Lost Locks we are always welcomed back with a warm greeting and smile by Brett and the team. Lost Locks offers Puzzles for all ages and takes you out of the world of reality and into a world where you must escape. We have Done Mad Monster, R18+, Dark Dungeon, Cottage Capers, Twisted Trials and Buccaneers Bounty. We Would highly recommend this attraction to first time escape room adventures, professional escape room adventures and those who like a challenge. 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Gameplay

Game play was great. Good flow.

Atmosphere

Atmosphere was interesting you actually felt like you were in the back of a truck heading to a Slaughter house. Set up of the room really put you in the zone.

Customer service

We were greeted with a smile. It was my first time ever doing an Escape Room, Morgan made us feel welcomed and made our night.

It walks the line between a "Tourist game with a gimmick" and "having something cool for experienced players" really, really well. I would recommend this for players of all tastes and experience levels.
