The Lockup: Mutiny

Easily a top tier room for me from the ones I've completed thus far. Immersive theming, unique hook (the handcuff system was brilliant as both a concept and in the way it was managed) and a fantastic host!

Some people have been concerned about the safety of the handcuffs, but not once did any of us feel unsafe in the least. Not only did we have emergency keys, the host was on hand should we need ANYTHING at all and made everyone feel very comfortable about the whole thing, even ensuring the tightness was right for all of us to avoid any injuries.

This is easily one of the most unique concepts I've seen and I absolutely loved the way it worked. Can't wait to come back and try the other rooms!

(You'll start handcuffed but nothing to worry about as you can easily free yourself!) 

We really enjoyed our hour in Mutiny and are hoping to try their other two rooms soon 🙂 

(There's also a really good coffee shop directly behind their building) 

This was a great game! Very fun especially with just 2 of us. Sheffield does not have a great selection of escape rooms, The Lock Up is by far the best!

Something unique. You start handcuffed to a chain on the wall, separated from your team mates, and have to break out of your cell, then the room.

Due to the restraints, the puzzles are more around what you can reach, and relying on communicating with your party to get out. It's really innovative, and a lot of fun.

Some reviews called this  "dangerous" and I couldn't disagree more. Nothing about this hurt, we were all given emergency keys for our cuffs, and the room, and the clip to the handcuffs can be taken off if you find it too much. Obviously using any of the safety measures made the game much easier, but it built a lot of confidence to just stay manacled and solve the puzzle, knowing you were in control the entire time.

Also, hi Hovis ❤️

A great original idea game. It’s not a very large room but the space is used extremely well. 

The puzzles are clever and Hovis is the cutest little doggy. 

A very unique experience which starts a little frustratingly but soon develops into a great game...
