Locked in Edinburgh: Space Academy

Lovely game, with some very cool stuff and a real sense of fun. This is a very physical game, so no good if you have mobility issues. Best venue in Edinburgh? Yep. 

Another excellent room from Locked in Edinburgh, but this one is rather different from the others in that it relies on co-operation throughout. Very inventive puzzles and lots of humour throughout make this a really enjoyable room. Even the dog loved it!   

Once again Locked In Edinburgh show why they’re our favourite escape game venue in Central Scotland, with a unique and creative game that dialled up the fun level to the max and had us laughing out loud on a good few occasions (look out for a few uniquely Scottish bits of humour!). This is a room that we found quite on the easy side, especially compared to their other offerings, and as a result our fairly experienced full team of six powered through (to top the leader board, no less!); but even though it was a speedy escape, the full experience lasted a good deal longer and we didn’t feel short-changed. I was wary about a space theme as I’ve not really been that drawn in by similarly-themed rooms in the past, but the ever-creative team at Locked In manage to make the most of the theme, with some really unusual and creative puzzles and set-pieces, including one or two genuinely stand-out moments. It was great to be properly surprised a good deal of times, as that doesn’t happen too often. Our host, Alix, could not have been better - right from the start, she was friendly, energetic, encouraging and just downright hilarious, and was a big part of why the room succeeded as the set up was really all part of the experience. We came away, although not feeling particularly challenged, having been thoroughly entertained, and that’s why we do this, right??! A great experience and maybe a good starting point for those new to Locked In to work up from to the likes of Secret Lab and Cutting Room (the former of which is in my top three rooms of all time!). Thanks again Locked In Edinburgh; now, please do more rooms!!! 🤞🤞😁

A fabulous space room! Our hosts were Gillian and Liv, who were really enthusiastic about our mission into space and who led our room brilliantly.

This was really different from the kind of room we usually do well in and it was easy to see why this is quite tricky for  team of two but we really enjoyed the challenge of having to think differently. We did this room after powering through Secret Lab and Cutting Room and it is so different to both of them. It's a really fun, family friendly one and a great addition to Locked In. 

Leaping (hauling yourself over a high door) to go from space to space got a bit tiresome, if there was an extra (normal) door I would have rated this higher.
Solid puzzles, some unique and very fun ones too!

Plenty to do, some "hi-tech" puzzles, nice use of A/V, and a slightly corny story that ties it all together in a space theme. Another great room to add to the Locked In Edinburgh stable.

Really enjoyed this room and the fabulous hosting. Finally a space-themed room that doesn't just have screens for the purpose of looking futuristic but actual puzzles and fun elements!

The attention to detail at Locked In continues to fill me with awe. This room is wonderfully designed, amazing fun and fantastically hosted. Lots of unique puzzles, some real "wow" moments and you can have a little dance in the middle if you want to! The conclusion at the end is also so well thought out.
