My first ever escape room and the best of memories (although I see it's sadly now closed). An awesome 3 room adventure with a cool centrepiece and great props (white coat and guns really made it immersive!)

plainquite easy
Admittedly, I wouldn't have chosen this game myself but our 9 year old now has the ER bug and decided she wanted to do an ER for her birthday party and this fitted the requirements. Essentially - they all had a great time, they were all new to ERs bar our child, and the GM did a good job with some gentle clueing although we also provided some hands off guidance from within the room. I wouldn't recommend it for enthusiast groups - the space is a little spartan and worn down, and it is a bit light on puzzles (even factoring in the above, we finished in 45 minutes) plus the ending comes as a bit of a surprise and could use some more build up. If you need to take some newbies to play somewhere, they will still have fun (but if at this venue, I'd choose Mayan Temple over the other games).

hi-techstory-drivengreat hostingquite difficult

One of the more difficult ones we've done. Had to resort to asking for a lot of clues to be able to finish in time. One small section had actually broken which the gamesmaster had to come in to fix for us but the room was still fun

This game is a lot of fun! Theming is very much on point and there are some good hands-on puzzles. There is a LOT to do in this room though so inexperienced players or smaller teams may want to consider a larger team!

This was my favourite room at Lockhouse, there's enough quality props and tech to make it feel like a treat, and the puzzles were tricky enough to get us talking for quite a while. A little bit corny but I don't mind.

Reviews by escape room review sites

For some reason both the escape game venues currently open in central Cambridge use room designs from Hungarian company TRAP. I played most of the TRAP games in Budapest some years ago, but Armageddon is one of the designs that didn't exist at that time, so I happily booked in to try it when passing through town. I remembered the Budapest TRAP rooms as as solid and slick mass-market games, but then they were some of the first escape rooms I ever played, so I didn't have much to compare them to....

A strong room with impressive set design and puzzles we've not seen anywhere else.
The second room from our Cambridge double bill.
The less experienced escapers in our team found the room to be a lot of fun, but those with a few more escapes under our belt were left a little underwhelmed. Thereโ€™s a nice variety of puzzles but itโ€™s a pretty short experience and a very crowded one with seven players.
