overpricedplainunoriginalvery easy

I bought a discounted voucher around Black Friday and redeemed it for a birthday escape with friends.

Story

Gather evidence to convict a serial killer before he returns to his cabin.

Puzzles

Straightforward. Uninspired. Common.

Mise en scene

Sufficient for a creepy cabin…but still very basic.

Final Comments

Even with the discount, this experience was overpriced. We broke out with over half the time left. Red-Handed is an unusually poor show from Lucardo and I look forward to it being replaced.

☕Joe Brown expert reviewed Raiders of the Lost Art by Tempo:
Rated between 4.5 and 4.5 out of 5
Played: 3 Feb 2026 Team size: 4

A must play if you're in the Bath area, a worthy second room to Eternal Life with lots of great twists and turns!

beautifulvalue for moneyimmersive🧟terrifying

I generally love a Deadlocked game as they always embrace the weird and wonderful, but I was torn about this game because I really do NOT enjoy horror games. I'm very glad I played it though (thank you to my team for the moral support), because it is an incredible experience. 

Deadlocked made great use of their premises, and they have come such a long way in terms of production value. The puzzles were great and worked very well, even as part of a seasoned team there was a good amount of challenge.

The pacing between puzzles and cinematics was effective and left time to focus on solving stuff while still keeping people on their toes. The game is really cleverly made in terms of layout and puzzle design, and beautifully and elaborately decorated - you can see how much time, thought and love has gone into it in every prop and set dressing bit. It's a two-hour immersive experience with two actors, and an absolute asset in the UK landscape that deserves every bit of appreciation.

Disclaimer: Be ready and able to crawl through narrow spaces.
