The Thames Tunnel at The Brunel Museum in London was the world’s first underwater tunnel, and Deadlocked Escape Rooms have collaborated with The Brunel Museum to create our most cinematic adventure yet.
What starts as a simple task of helping contractor Joey Beamish with some network tests soon explodes into a time travelling romp through the true stories of the Thames Tunnel.

Played this as was looking for an online room to play with my 8yr old and everything else was too spooky for him apparently!
I wasn’t disappointed though and it was good fun. We didn’t need too much help but was thankful that there is help available.
Was a very well put together room and now a visit to the Brunel Museum has been requested !
I didn’t realise I should have paused the game when we had our dinner so by the time I finished it said 3hrs 57 but we definitely wasn’t there that long 😂
Lovely little game with awesome objective (support a museum!) and great immersiveness by Deadlocked team.
Very interesting puzzles, and I thought they were very creative.
I enjoyed this game very much. It had a real magical atmosphere, the puzzles were Hi-Tech stuff, and James and Charlie were the usual charmers with their roles there. I recommend it a lot. Go ahead, play this and get ready to learn.

I really enjoyed playing Tunnelling Through Time. It’s filled with the charm, humour and clever puzzle design we’ve come to know and love about Deadlocked.
We finished the game in just over an hour and we were a little sad that it had ended. As with their previous charity collaboration, this game is more accessible for less experienced escape room fans.
Die-hard puzzle veterans might get more of a brain workout from their meatier options – The Insiders and The Cyphstress – though there’s something for everyone to enjoy here.
Give it a go, support the museum and learn something while you play!
Overall, Tunnelling Through Time was a perfect collaboration for a great cause. The amazing experience steps back in time with interesting characters, unique puzzles & mini games. The diverse mix of escape room puzzles to fun mini game styled puzzles, opened up a enjoyable way to learn about some of the true stories of the Thames tunnel.
