Very much enjoyed this game, it feels less like an escape room and more like something from crystal maze. You have to climb up and through things so this is not for those who struggle with mobility but very very fun.

Are the puzzels the best we've ever seen no? They felt more physical than logical at times but it made a very nice change from rooms weve done elswhere

Lovely game, with some very cool stuff and a real sense of fun. This is a very physical game, so no good if you have mobility issues. Best venue in Edinburgh? Yep.

Another excellent room from Locked in Edinburgh, but this one is rather different from the others in that it relies on co-operation throughout. Very inventive puzzles and lots of humour throughout make this a really enjoyable room. Even the dog loved it!

Reviews by escape room review sites

Space Academy was a fun experience with plenty of tech and theatrics to boot. I wouldn’t want to play this in a massive team, but four players would probably be a good number. A solid set, fun puzzles, and a lovely host made for an enjoyable experience for us.

The Space Academy is a fantastic room at Locked In. Located at the back of the Summerhall building (enter through the main entrance, go to the courtyard at the back, and head to the back right hand corner). There your Games Master, in our case the enigmatic Alex, comes to greet you at your booking time and take you to the room.
