For many years, the Institution has been rumored to be conducting unethical human experimentation. You are now in the control of The Doctor. He knows your weaknesses, he knows how to stop you escaping, but are you willing to make the ultimate sacrifice?

Finally managed to play our fourth room at Lockdown. Always a great experience. This room got the better of us and we didn’t quite escape. Very close though! Lots of interesting and unique puzzles and lots and lots to do. Excellent room and highly recommended

The owners recently revamped this room and we loved it! This room packed in so many puzzles with many wow moments. Pacing from one puzzle to another was perfect with no dull moments. Not too scary either which was great for our group as we had a good laugh. Great fun, highly recommend.

Really like this game. Loads to do, loads of puzzle variation, lots of fun little surprises and a couple of jump scares. Highly recommended.

Themeing was on par, felt like we were in a doctors office. Lots of content to keep us going, only got stuck a hand full of times where we needed a prod in the right direction. Music added to the pressure towards the end. Overall fun to do and quirky at times!

This room had some good moments and certainly threw a few surprises our way with some theatrical elements that we weren’t expecting. With the exception of one puzzle, we enjoyed this game but I feel confident that this puzzle will be tweaked to make it better, so if you play, you may not have the same frustration that we did.

Their attention to detail is delightful and gives a good sense of immersion to the room.
