Locked In Games: Caught In The Act

Plight of the Thespians

Two of my favourite games have been provided by Locked In Leeds, and so I was very excited when they opened up a York branch!

Story

You’re a group of actors locked in the dressing room, and the show is an hour from starting. Quirky? Yes. Believable? Not really…

Puzzles

Uncomplicated, with apt nods to musicals. I didn’t really get the irrelevant film references, though. The final puzzle, a practical challenge, was far too difficult. We were encouraged by our Game Operator to cheat, which made for a dissatisfying ending.

Mise-en-scène

No where near as breath-taking as Leeds, sadly. This was just a room with wigs thrown in.

Final Comments

We had a laugh, but, from an experienced escapee’s point of view, this poor performance of a room deserves the hook.
