Other World Escapes Portsmouth: Pub: The Lock Inn

This is another great example of theming in an escape room.  All of the puzzles had some link to the story of the room, with local connections too.  Without giving too much away, there is a second area to the room  which was SO COOL when we found it.  A great combination of puzzles, and lovely production.  Strong recommend.  Room 13 for us!

This room was such fun! It kept true to being a proper pub, and our GM (T) was INCREDIBLE!!! T brought it all to life, and I can't recommend T (and the room) enough! The adult humour was done in such a casual way that it encouraged my husband and I to start cracking jokes! The puzzles were fantastic, things were hidden in ingenious ways... We recommend this room!

In addition to this, as it was the final day of our Honeymoon, T let us make our mark in the room itself... See if you can spot us! 🙂

A little tired and the GM wasn’t overly endearing, so made this a meh experience. The puzzles in the most part worked well but some of the padlocks were tired plus somewhat linear. 

The atmosphere certainly gave it a 90s pub experience. Some rude humour but could have been amped up a little more. 

A funny and original game with some solid puzzles and a cool set. Wish there was a soundtrack as you could hear a lot from the corridor outside which took me out of it a bit. In all a light hearted and enjoyable room

A great 75 minute game - so unique and some excellent puzzles.
