Escape room newcomers, or kids who can handle a mildly creepy atmosphere, would get a good kick out of this room. It makes excellent use of an old bus which has been filled with a great set (though it might be a little dark and with four or more players I can imagine it getting cramped). The Jurassic Park-style setting makes a welcome change to the plethora of spooky laboratories, detectives' offices etc. and you're fully immersed in it. There's one puzzle that could possibly made a little easier, but there's nothing that really hung us up. Highly recommended!

The setting of this escape room was very different, being based on an old bus. It was a strong concept, wonderfully decorated and the hosting was good. However the puzzles were limited and quite simple. There were multiple moments where we all waiting  on someone to complete a single puzzle and no one could move on to anything else until it was done which somewhat impacted the flow and experience.

Idea was good but room very small and felt it lacked variation. Worth playing but not a memorable one for us.

Enjoyed this escape room, it was our first one so we weren't sure what to expect, the host was really good. Experience immersive, only criticism is that we would have liked it to be laid out in to different rooms but appreciate that's difficult with limited space and also this is quite expensive compared to others but still worth doing

Excellent non-linear room. Really good theme and well-built room. Very original.

Largely observational and physical puzzles - not much logic. Usually I wouldn’t be a fan of this, but in the case of Dino Deadlock that isn’t the case as the puzzles were made really well.

Would definitely rcommend!

The set on this one is fantastic, so much time and effort has gone into decorating the bus and it pays off. Kids will definitely enjoy it.

The puzzles are physical and can be time consuming so not ideal for a small team or if you prefer more logical puzzles.

If you’re a fan of dinosaurs and escape rooms then this is a room you must try. A beautiful set, decent puzzles, and a really fun ending made our detour 100% worth it!
