Lots of fun. GM was friendly and helpful, plus the game was interesting and enjoyable. Puzzles felt logical and made sense with the story, just sometimes felt a bit search-heavy. The finale was cool, and I enjoyed a mechanic implemented in the first half of the game. Very good game

hi-techfunnygreat hosting

Outstanding game before our Eurostar back home. We loved everything about it. There was a lot of elements to search under objects, which isn't usually things we enjoy but the hosting was so well done and cleverly implemented in the game that it overshadowed any tiny tiny issues with the room.

Thoroughly recommend it! There is a lot of tense moments as well that makes it feel like a strong 60 minutes. When you think you're at the end of the game, something new pops up. Brilliant!

Reviews by escape room review sites

Each room at Lock Academy is different and distinctive, but after playing a few of them you start to recognise a house style to the puzzles and the game structure. I’m not going to give away the plot, but Revolt starts off with the (fictional) founder of Lock Academy behaving suspiciously out of character, and escalates from there into the sort of big twist that the company revels in.

As with some of their other rooms, there are distinct stages to this experience and the decor is deceptively lo...

A review of the three games at Lock Academy, Paris. Revolt was my favourite, with an unusual theme, fun puzzles and an experience that improved with each step forward. LA Confidential had a relatively mundane start but improved significantly and had one of the most stressful, frantic (and enjoyable!) finishes I’ve experienced in a room. Tres Cher Lock is a game that’s worth playing, but it’s merely good in comparison to the other two – a strong start in what on the face of it looked to be a pretty ordinary room wasn’t quite matched by the end sequence.

Nous revoilà à la Lock Académie, dans leur nouveau local, très joli. Dès que nous prenons place dans sur des chaises et un canapé très design, nous découvrons une pétition pour empêcher le professeur Lock de vendre l'académie. QUOI? Vendre à Jim Key en plus??? NOOOON. Bon mais avant, une de nos membres fête son anniversaire, nous avons donc booké le pack anniversaire, une loupe, une pipe, un...

The Lock Academy has become accustomed to proposing elaborate scenarios in its own universe. This game is no exception to the rule – far from it! A variety of rooms very different from each other are all inserted in a perfectly coherent way in the scenario. Even more impressive than that, it is the pervasive humour that made this room amazing! The number of Easter eggs hidden in this room is unbelievable, and I cannot count the number of times one of those put a smile on my face. Finally, no puzzle was out of place, and they all contributed to the coherence of the whole. A flawless game!
