The Hotel Paradise is a haven of five-star luxury and exceptional customer service. As the hotel’s manager, you are rightly proud of the spotless reputation you have built up with decades of hard work and dedication. But one morning you receive a call which threatens to shatter the Hotel Paradise’s good name. Lady Murdoch-Westwell claims an exquisite diamond necklace and a sapphire ring have been stolen from her room as she dined in the hotel’s bistro. Pointing the finger at one of the hotel’s maids, she has already put an expensive claim in to her insurers. You trust your staff and are sure she must be lying but can you prove their innocence and protect the hotel’s future?

An enjoyable room, made better by the company but still enjoyable non the less. Some more complicated puzzles than I was used to with locked in but they mostly worked well. A couple of confusing puzzles and an underwhelming ending but aside from that still another interesting room.

story-driven
A classic hotel room heist game with plenty to do and less tired than a couple of the other games here. We found, again, that signposting was very hit and miss, which was a shame, as there were some decent puzzles.

great hosting
A mostly linear game with a series of puzzles that vary from physical to observation and logic.  Puzzles are solved with either a padlock (all the favourites) and maglock.  Theming is adequate for the story conveyed but elements feel tired and in need of a refresh.

Last room in our 5 in a day escape day. Fun room with again a great theming if the set and soundtrack. Couple of unusual puzzles here and interesting games mechanics! Very fun

Reviews by escape room review sites

Locked In have a big old building on the north side of Leeds, with a briefing area expansive enough to take a dozen teams. It has the feel of an institution or an old hotel, and when we entered our game room it seemed less like a transition to a different environment than a convincing extension of where we already were.

Despite the name of the game, you’re not attempting to steal anything. Rather, you’re investigating the reported theft of a wealthy guest’s jewellery from her hotel room, with s...

An excellent escape room with a very cohesive plot. The lower tech level seemed to enhance their ability to come up with unique puzzles. I’m excited to go back and crack some of their other rooms.
