unoriginal
Game was ok! Had 1 specific part to it that we were told at the start of the game it would be obvious what we needed to do when we got to it! Unfortunately even if it is obvious I really don’t think you should be doing this thing in an escape room! It sets a negative president for players moving forward! Apart from that was ok!

Good, not great, experience with this escape room. It had a good story and set-up, with a few nice touches, BUT the whole thing felt a bit unoriginal and lots of the puzzles were in serial, which led to all of us trying to solve the same problem a couple of times.
Overall though, a solid escape room.

value for moneyoriginalillogicalvery difficult
Very difficult rating based on us getting stuck due to (in my opinion) illogical/trial and error leaps for progression.
Overall enjoyable for the price, with a few unique aspects. Escaped with 1.4 million out of 1.5 million stolen, but needed several hints.
Reviews by escape room review sites
Locked pull a few innovative tricks out of the mailbag. One in particular is quite transgressive, while being totally in theme with the room – we felt the need to check with the GM that we were on the right track
We headed to Locked Escapes in Dunstable to relive the 1963 Great Train Robbery and see if we could pull off the ultimate heist! See what we thought of this escape room in the heart of Dunstable’s Quadrant.
