Another great room by the Lockup and it was wonderful to see Hovis the corgi all grown up, what a good boy!

Really decent concept, but I'll knock a point off for the fact that it's just one room. The puzzles were super unique though and the entire second half of the experience was one big project involving multiple puzzles bringing together to solve the big finale. 

The owner said they'd recently done a pass on all their rooms to make them a bit snappier and improve immersion and this room had a great finale with some amazing technology.

They also had a "hard mode" bonus objective which we managed to complete which gave us some extra gloating points, this is probably why I rate this room so high, it gave us a great flow of puzzles along with a really difficult challenge to finish on

Highly recommend all The Lockup's rooms, they all feel like crafted projects, this is probably my favourite of theirs 

Half a point added for the owner saying "we replaced the directional padlock with an electronic version because those things suck!"
