One of my absolute favourite games ever! Genius puzzles and I LOVED the physical elements and hidden surprises. You will not be disappointed by this spectacular room!
Absolutely beautiful room with highly intricate and lovingly-made puzzles. Great craftsmanship seen throughout. Very playful room which kept our energy levels buzzing. Requires ‘out of the box’ thinking for some puzzles. We blazed through the room with almost half the time left on the clock. However, we did not feel short-changed as the experience was superb. Just wanted to add, the gentleman who spoke to us before this room (involved with marketing) was lovely and was knowledgeable on other locations around the UK. Always nice to chat to a fellow enthusiast before or after a room.

Another fantastic room in Nottingham, this was possibly the most unique we have done. Loads of unexpected twists and turns, despite the fact we escaped quickly we felt like we had our money’s worth. The whole place felt like we were explorers! Top 5 room, the best we’ve done at Escapologic as well. Perfect for a team of two.
We really liked this - it's got a real cinematic feel to it and was just really great fun.
Cool use of space and some really fun puzzles. Good theming although quite easy I thought

I narrowly missed out on the chance to play Lockskey the first time round, when it briefly opened and then closed again due to problems with the underground location (since when it's been completely revamped, so I believe is safe to play even if you did the original version).
Robin Hood is an obvious theme for a venue based in Nottingham, and I'd have expected something in bright primary colours with an archery motif. However, Escapologic's take is a lot more archaeological. The setting is mode...
One of my favourite types of Escape Room is a quest, where the goal isn’t exactly to escape or to solve a world crisis, but one that takes you on a journey
Great game to start new players with
On the 16th December we found ourselves back to take on another of Escapologics devious escape rooms, this time the very fitting for Nottingham "Robin of Lockskey". Our roles in the game were to save the Sheriff of Nottingham from a gang of kidnappers. The team before us was given 24 hours to find the iconic ransom of a golden arrow, they however have failed and left us with an hour to complete the job. We were now in the private office of the Sheriff ready to go on the adventure and search, How did we do? Well, read on to find out.
A clever room that makes full use of space, including one of the best transitions between areas I have ever come across. Some really physical puzzles gave it more of a crystal maze feel at times which is not a bad thing!
