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!


Once again Locked In Edinburgh show why theyβre our favourite escape game venue in Central Scotland, with a unique and creative game that dialled up the fun level to the max and had us laughing out loud on a good few occasions (look out for a few uniquely Scottish bits of humour!). This is a room that we found quite on the easy side, especially compared to their other offerings, and as a result our fairly experienced full team of six powered through (to top the leader board, no less!); but even though it was a speedy escape, the full experience lasted a good deal longer and we didnβt feel short-changed. I was wary about a space theme as Iβve not really been that drawn in by similarly-themed rooms in the past, but the ever-creative team at Locked In manage to make the most of the theme, with some really unusual and creative puzzles and set-pieces, including one or two genuinely stand-out moments. It was great to be properly surprised a good deal of times, as that doesnβt happen too often. Our host, Alix, could not have been better - right from the start, she was friendly, energetic, encouraging and just downright hilarious, and was a big part of why the room succeeded as the set up was really all part of the experience. We came away, although not feeling particularly challenged, having been thoroughly entertained, and thatβs why we do this, right??! A great experience and maybe a good starting point for those new to Locked In to work up from to the likes of Secret Lab and Cutting Room (the former of which is in my top three rooms of all time!). Thanks again Locked In Edinburgh; now, please do more rooms!!! π€π€π
Reviews by escape room review sites
Space Academy was a fun experience with plenty of tech and theatrics to boot. I wouldnβt 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.
