Wasn't too challenging for a team of two, but definitely kept you on your toes! It's a mostly traditional escape room, with some interesting tech.
I really enjoyed it and the host was fab - definitely coming back to do the other rooms.
Only thing I would change would be a better clue system, with sound playing when you get a clue, and clues coming up after being typed - but it wasn't walkie talkies, so that is a huge plus!
Probably the Lockedin room that gets the least attention, but super fun nonetheless. Lockedin Edinburgh is one of my favourite venues in the country. Bravo!
4thnroomnas a duo with my 11yo.
Lots to do, but we plowed on through, found the spy -but alas failed on the last little test.
Lots of fun and lovely hosting. We were given a quick tour of the rest of the rooms, hopefully we'll be able to come back soon to do the rest!

With Distillery, Locked In continue their exceptional standard of theming and props. Here the equipment used for the room comes courtesy of an actual gin distillery elsewhere in the building, and it looks fantastic.
The largest and most impressive items in the game are sadly purely decorative, though clearly marked as such. A couple of surfaces are marked as suitable for writing notes on with a highlighter, which is a great alternative to a whiteboard or pen and paper.
A good portion of this g...
Not the most challenging of games but still no less fun. I’m glad we left this game to last as it was nice to finish on a game that was just good clean fun.
The Distillery might be the easiest of the three, but it's a nice challenge nonetheless. It looks nice - I mean, it's literally set within the Pickering's Gin premises, so of course the distillery looks like one - and some puzzles were fairly original. Once again, we felt swamped by the amount of things to do (and that crazy-yet-somehow-justified lock count), and I gave up on keeping a live count of my tallies.
