I 100% recommend this room to all who might be interested in it!! Awesome puzzles and an awesome story. It’s fun, well-managed and reasonably priced (especially on weekdays!). Our GM was enthusiastic and lively and really made the experience work for us. We did it with two people and despite being super out of practice it wasn’t frustrating at all and we got pretty far in! We had some tech issues but it wasn’t the fault of the room and they were solved as quick as possible. The story was super well-written, memorable and funny, and the puzzles were complex and satisfying to figure out. We’re going to be following the creators for all future experiences for sure!
The gameplay was unique and filled every square inch of the room. The story flowed effortlessly across every puzzles and made us laugh at multiple points. Overall it was very well written and smooth!
The art direction was immaculate. It was super fun and actually expanded on the tropes it used instead of repeating them mindlessly. It was very immersive and creative!
Our GM was stellar. He responded to questions promptly while still keeping the solutions to the puzzles secret. When we had tech issues he was able to fix them quickly and professionally. He knew how to hype up the room and was just overall lovely to talk to.

The interactive elements inside the room were novel and such a fun way to feel immersed in the story!!
The story was delightful and flowed well. It had clever and funny moments. Definitely one of the more memorable experiences we’ve had.
Hard
We were out of practice going into this room so we had a tough but still enjoyable time. Definitely on the more complex end of things, but not frustrating at all.

It’s certainly possible with less but you definitely need great communication and multi-tasking abilities.
Not scary

We had an internet outage in the middle of the game through no fault of the GM but he figured out and fixed the problem as promptly as he could, and gave us extra time to make up for it!
No
Somewhat
Lot of stairs to get in but once in the room is compact and easy to navigate. Things are located both high and low to the ground, though!
You have to go up a large set of stairs to make it into the room, and once there it would be hard to maneuver with any large mobility aid. People with colour blindness would find this a little extra challenging. All audio was subtitled.

Follow the instructions on the website!

There is plenty short-term parking in the area.

Awesome game experience for our group of 3. Wonderful and detailed narrative. Unique puzzles and gameplay. Mostly linear, but also some opportunities for parallel puzzle solving. Highly recommended.

Thanks for playing and sharing your thoughts with us! 🩶 We really appreciate it.

The tech and storytelling in this game were great, a lot of fun puzzles and a ton to solve. There are a quite a few puzzles to solve, you'll spend the hour solving rather than searching for clues.

This is everything an escape room should aspire to be: split beautifully between being narrative-driven and system-driven with a novel interface, a fantastic set, numerous puzzles of different types, everything comes together. Staff was fantastic, I can not wait until they expand in this space.

Keep experimenting Lockwood and I’ll keep following! This held up to the high standards of their previous pop ups. This was a smartly constructed experience that forced you to follow the narrative but in a more manageable and interesting way than most “narrative” rooms. If you’ve played Obra-Dinn/Roottrees/Case of the Golden Idol, the primary mechanic of the room will be familiar. You must input discoveries from your investigation and the system will verify your inputs in sets and allow you to proceed. I really enjoyed this fresh take to an escape room that requires you to follow the narrative throughout. The writing is funny, the mystery is manageable for 1 hour experience, the room is gorgeous and the puzzles were fun to solve/all tied to the mystery. This room shows that you don’t need the most advanced tech to create an engaging experience. No notes, go play the room, you’ll have a lot of fun.

Thanks for coming, Alex! We don't plan to stop experimenting any time soon. 🧑🔬
