This was a fun room! The puzzles were interesting and not the usual code-locks. It was fairly straightforward
Some fun elements but wasn't particularly immersive. At times felt more like sherlock holmes game than Robin hood. Add in the fact there was a modern landline phone as a prop in the opening room...immersion left much to be desired.
This was very easy and not a lot to do. However it was very clever and physical! Lots of surprises. Would definitely recommend if you have children!!
A fun but challenging room, very immersive and great use of space. This is one of our favourite rooms
Our first time at Escapologic and we were annoyed that we hadn't been sooner. Great hosting by Dan and a simply brilliant room. Really imaginative game, puzzles were really on theme and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Would highly recommend

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!
