Lock’d

We found this one a bit underwhelming especially as at the end the tech didn't work which was massively disappointing. Had it worked I'd have given it an extra half star, as it was the rest of the room was a bit meh.

Thought that escaping was the end of the evening until.... we got stuck in the lift leaving the building. For about 20 minutes. The hosts at Lock'd were very kind, gave us a bottle of water (it was a hot day) and a free escape room to make up for it.

Our first escape room experience!  Initial room was plain and quite sparce, but in hindsight was appropriate to the theme but it took us a while to get started. We spent too long in the first area trying to find our feet and so had to rush to finish the game with some hints. The final puzzle was a bit temperamental and we had to be prompted to repeat the action to see whether the prop/puzzle worked again (it didn't!)

The set and themeing are immersive and you start outside the house and have to gain entry to start. The puzzles were fitting with the theme although it would've been nice to have magic implemented in to the odd puzzle. A good game but no wow factor
