This is an absolutely fantastic room. One of our favourites. It involves story telling in effective ways and has clues and puzzles that require logic as well. It’s hard to be unique in the escape world but Lockwood absolutely was able to pull this off. I strongly recommend this one.

Playing this room was so refreshing! The space is on the smaller side, but it packs quite the punch in terms of puzzle content. The puzzles were extremely creative and such a joy to solve! Loved the aesthetic. Loved the small details. Loved the storyline. This room proves that you don’t need a large space and a massive budget to create experiences that are oodles and oodles of fun! It’s so nice to see escape room creators doing unique and interesting things, and the folks at Lockwood definitely ate with this one!

This room was a lot of fun! The puzzles were solid, it was just the right amount of dialogue (with subtitles which was very appreciated), and the room itself was simple yet well designed given the theme. It’s a quality company that I will continue to support, looking forward to more rooms in the future.
