Well run and good fun

We played The Dig escape room in St Albans and had a great time. The host, Elise, was really friendly and gave just enough clues to nudge us in the right direction without giving too much info. It's doable with only two people and we just managed to escape.

Great family activity

We did the Bunker room and our room guide was Scott.
He was very welcoming and explained everything very clearly.
The room was well set up and the puzzles were fun to complete and Scott was on hand when we needed help.
We competed as a family with two teenagers and it was a very suitable activity for all of us.
The location is easy to find and there is a great variety of rooms to choose from.

A fun and atmospheric experience!

We had a great time escaping from The Secret Bunker in Dunstable. Josh gave us a good intro and answered all our pre-escape questions... then into the bunker. The room itself was very atmospheric and nicely recreated the WWII look and feel. There was a good mix of puzzles for adults and the kids (11 and 8) to tackle and a few surprises along the way. Great fun!

Great experience enjoyed by all

Went for a team Christmas event and had two rooms competing against each other. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves and Sabrine and Alex did a great job of supporting us through our escape!
If you are nervous or anxious my advice would be to avoid 'The Dig'. The pre warning was subtle!

Enjoyed the Great Train Robbery with Josh

Five of us took on the Great Train Robbery room. Theming/narrative is simple but effective. Puzzles are satisfying and a few are especially innovative. A couple required something that we would never have considered but prompts from our host Josh were well-judged in terms of timing and subtlety; just enough to keep us moving forward. Game design is more than just an escape, ensuring you almost certainly get to keep playing for the full time. Venue itself is bright and clean, with lockers available. Good fun on New Year's Day - thanks Josh!

Family Christmas Outing

The puzzles were well thought out, our host (Elise) was welcoming and entertaining, and the premises were clean and spacious.
We did the Great Train Robbery room and escaped with seconds to spare with a good amount of money. Elise was great at guiding us when we needed it, whilst allowing us to feel like we still achieved most things ourselves.
Family of five (older teens and parents) all enjoyed… and we’re still speaking to each other.

Enjoyable test which could have been more demanding than it was

We've visited several escape rooms over the years but this was our first in St Albans. We successfully negotiated Shadow Lair at Locked Escapes in a ridiculously quick time of 34 minutes so we comfortably prevented the total destruction of St Albans. It was not easy, though and we did enjoy it; some of the setups were very interesting and unlike any we've seen before (and we've seen quite a few!) We think one or two hints were given to us a little prematurely by our host, otherwise we'd probably have been closer to our normal outcome, which is escaping during the final 5 minutes of our allotted hour. There are 3 other escape rooms at the location and we hope to revisit one of them, at least, in 2024.

Great family fun

Went with my two teenagers, usually a tough crowd to entertain. It was our 1st escape room and we all had a great time problem solving as a team. Our friendly hosts gave clear instructions at the start, the room was well equipped (everything looked new), the challenge level was perfect, and the story interesting. I would highly recommend. We plan to go again and try the next difficulty level!

Great for a date night!

Fantastic company with great escape rooms - we have vowed to complete all of them! Big big thanks to Jamie who was funny, helpful, and made the experience very enjoyable. Best date night we have had in a long time - would recommend to any couples, it was a chance to switch off from parent mode and have fun, a lot better than other typical dates.

Brilliant- exceeded expectations!

Works outing to relieve stress! A few of us were worried because it was our first time but the staff were brilliant- friendly, funny and very helpful.
Half went into one room and half in another. Felt safe (had to get a few clues). We were reassured that the rooms are not actually "locked". Ben and Grace (I think) were superb and did everything they could to make it a fun activity.
I am def booking a family outing over Christmas or in the New Year!

Mummy and daddy day out

Had great fun at locked in St albans.
I didn't really know what to expect as it was my first time but sabine was great help. She explained everything and was there to prompt us/give clues when we asked.
I gave it 4 stars because I got frustrated at how difficult it was (that's my problem not there's!)
Nice to spend some quality time with the husband and do.something completely different to normal day to day life.
Really recommend it 🙂

Great fun to work as a team

Lovely meet and greet with Grace followed by a really fun experience. It was our first time at an escape room and it took us a while to "think outside the box" as it were but once we got the hang of it, we worked well as a team and managed to find one of the two artifacts.
Would thoroughly recommend it and it was great to have something themed around our lovely city.

An excellent day!

Such a great time! Sabrina was fantastic and I would highly recommend this as a trip with friends. The CSI room has some great twists, including a greater objective than just simply escaping, which is delightfully novel. Parking is super convenient because of the shopping centre too, and there's loads of other stuff nearby to make a whole day out.

Difficult but fun

We were pretty tired after a big meal only minutes before but as soon as we entered the room we really got into the spirit of things. We did the train robbery room and I’ve got to admit quite a few puzzles were difficult to figure out and we had to call on Grace to help us with clues more times then we would like to admit 🤦🏻‍♀️. She was very helpful though and gave us just enough info to figure things out and get out of the room with £1.3mil. We will definitely be booking again as it was something different and fun to do for a date night.
