The Pumpkin King's Christmas Cabin

The rooms at this establishment just seem to get better and better. They are so creative, detailed, thoughtful, surprising... I could go on and on! I can't tell you how many times we gasped in surprise at all of the uniquely revealed clues. I love the storyline - even though it portrayed the pumpkin king a little on the meaner side (in 'The Nightmare before Christmas', he was not meant to be mean, just misunderstood 😉). I felt truly immersed in the experience and there is an exciting ending to conclude the story if 'one' chooses wisely and can keep a secret. The game hosts are very helpful and friendly. They do require 4 players perhaps because there is a lot to uncover but I think we could have done it with just 2. Either way, it's an incredibly fun room that holds many unique experiences as do each of their other rooms. I can't wait for their next escape room to come out!

What a great twist of an old classic story! Some very fun and different pieces that we’ve never seen done before! Each area was so immersive and felt so real!

Super fun, high-tech family, friendly room

This was definitely one of the best escape rooms that I’ve ever done! The game was big with multiple large rooms full of thoughtful puzzles, and it was super immersive. The puzzles were challenging, but not too difficult that you got completely stuck. The staff at the Locked Inn is also so kind and helpful, and will give you a clue if you end up getting stumped. Without spoilers, there’s a unique plot line that’s part of this room that was such a fun twist. The room itself is also well decorated and smelled like christmas, making it much more immersive. It was both christmassy and spooky, and I had so much fun doing this game with my family.

There’s so much to do! We always love Locked Inn rooms. Similar to their 1985 room, you will be busy. I thought the puzzles were fair, though a couple could use a little reworking in my opinion (especially a clunky one involving a list of candies). Group size matters a lot in this room too. You’ll need a group of at least 4 to be able to complete everything, but at some points in the game flow there might be only one thing to work on. This turns a portion of the group into spectators since there might not physically be enough room for everyone to participate on the task at hand. But later on it’s all hands on deck, so don’t attempt this with too few people. Without spoiling anything, I used all 5 senses in this room. We especially loved the distinct Christmas smell when we first walked in. The vibes were awesome. Kudos to Locked Inn for good puzzles and good prop design. They get a lot of good buzz for their Room 1985 experience but I personally preferred this room. I really hope people book this room all year around because it’s not a holiday pop-up, it’s a challenge that enthusiasts should flock to.

We had so much fun in this room!!!! Cory was a great help when we needed it!
