Great experience, Chris and Gavin were really great hosts and explained everything clearly. The room difficulty was a good level for us, it wasn’t too easy but was a good challenge and at one point we thought we weren’t going to do it. Will definitely return!

It was a spur-of-the-moment escape in Milton Keynes and we decided to play all three games in one afternoon. Having played over 50 escape rooms as a couple, we really liked these ones, even though a small number 4 got me confused for a while ;)
Eloise, Gabby, Izzy, and Jess made it a day to remember and were brilliant hosts. If you are new to escaping, book a room and see how long it takes for you to want to play the rest. We are hooked. Thank you for a really fun afternoon.

It was an absolute pleasure having the duo spending the day with us, we are so glad to see that you enjoyed the games! Congratulations on tackling three rooms in one day, that certainly is an amazing challenge to set. We also have it on very good authority that you did very well, cheeky numbers aside. ;)
Eloise, Gabi, Izzy and Jess were all so pleased to have made your experience a memorable one. Having such a lovely recommendation means a lot to us and we hope very much to see you back in future. Thank you for playing!

Great experience - thanks Izzy and Eloise!
We did the Timelock which is the easiest but it was the right level of difficulty to make it enjoyable.

Elouise and the team guided us through a really enjoyable works social night out.
The room was tough enough for it to take 57+ minutes to crack it.
Great facility, and brilliant staff to walk you through the rules, hints and clues.
Would definitely recommend.

Our group of 5 (3 adults and 2 teens) thoroughly enjoyed the Parallax ‘locked in a room’ game. The puzzles required different approaches so all able to participate and accomplish the task. Chris, the host was super helpful. Would definitely do another one!

Hi Elizabeth!
The actual game itself is 60 minutes long however with an intro and debrief either side we would advise just over 90 minutes for the full experience.
We look forward to locking you up!

Hi RobertoSolo,
We accept teams of two however it’s quite tricky so we recommend 3 minimum. If you think you’re up to the challenge with 2 though you’re more than welcome! Our online booking system and office will also advise of this.
We look forward to locking you up!

We are looking to book for 9 people for a leaving party at work. Could we stay together

Hello, Thanks for your question.
As we have a maximum room capacity of 6, you would need to book 2 rooms and could split the group into a team od 4 and 5 for a thrilling head to head game, So although you will not be in the same room for the hour of the game, you will be able to share your successes and frustrations long after the game is over. I hope this helps.

Hi. Sorry for the delay in reply. As I’m aware the largest room is for 6. If you phone then they’re very helpful.

do you have any rooms for 2 people?

Hello!
Both of our games are suitable! Timelock has a 50% escape rate and Invisibility Gene has a 40% escape rate. If this is your first time playing an escape I'd recommend going for Timelock. Our games were designed in mind for groups of 3 or more players but we've had lots of groups of 2 people go through and some have been successful! Hope this helps!
Thanks,
Alice

Hi, there are 6 of us wishing to play. It looks like we will be allocated 2 rooms. Does this mean we will be split in two groups rather than one to play? Or have I misunderstood this info on your booking page? Thanks:)

Hi Helen,
6 players will be allocated 1 room. The maximum capacity per room for all three of our games is 6 people. Hope this helps!
Thanks,
Alice

Hi Chloe,
Thank you for your question!
We recommend that players are aged 8 and over to fully enjoy the Locked In A Room experience. It may be worth mentioning that under 14's have to be supervised by an adult aged 18+ inside of the room throughout the duration of the game. Hope this helps!
Many thanks,
Alice
Hi there is the venue accessible for a wheelchair user please?
Hi Kathie M
Our venue in Milton Keynes is wheelchair accessible, and out of our three games that you can choose to play, Invisibility Gene and Parallax are both fully accessible for wheelchair users.
If you wish to play our Time Lock game we would advise ringing our bookings team who can notify the venue manager and receive advice for specific booking requirements.
All the best!
