What a great game. Some real thinkers in there. Brilliant concept I haven't seen before. The owner (I'm sorry I can't remember) was brilliant as our host, with sleepy sidekick Hovis (beautiful dog).

Ehhh, good room. Lots of padlocks and flowing story but a small room. I love the way this room starts but it lacks in depth. Good puzzles just wish there was more to explore

Very well themed room, and uses handcuffs in a more fun way that I haven't seen before. It does rely on good communication and each person in the room pulling their weight. Thoroughly enjoyed it and there were some original puzzles in there.
We just expected a little bit more from it. As when thinking about it, there were really only 3/4 actual puzzles in there, they just needed to be repeated couple times. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing as we still enjoyed ourselves and they were interesting enough. But we didn't end the room feeling "is that it?". Host/Owner was lovely and we did enjoy our time with his dog Hovis.

Our 2nd room here! We thought this was the best of the (12 so far!) escape rooms we have done! The theming is really immersive, clever use of the handcuffs throughout was unlike anything we’d done before. Some very original puzzles once out of the handcuffs too! We were so impressed by this room, can’t wait to come back for deep space brig!

A lot of fun, this room. Definitely team work involved! Nice addition to Lockuo's roster.

We really enjoyed all of the Lockup games, and we love Hovis. This room worked really well with 2 people as we were able to move around a bit easier at the start. We were quite slow with the first puzzle but then made nice progress with the rest, following the game logic. The set was fun for this room, only improvement would be some sea shanties playing 😂
