LOCKEDIN Games York Review: April 2019
LOCKEDIN Games York, located opposite the Yorkshire Museum, is an exciting escape experience where you and your squad can test their mind and motivation to see if you have all got what it takes to escape within 60 minutes.
Both Rages to Riches and Caught in the Act, custom built escape rooms, cleverly incorporate York as a theme, while still retaining the quality and authenticity of the rooms.
Puzzles made sense and structured well, challenged your mind, but without frustration. The games masters are also super duper lovely too.

Ask yourselves Who, What and Where – identify the killer, find the murder weapon and location of the crime before your 60 minutes countdown ends and the murderer returns to the house to finish you off too.
Now, his aim is to build a memory manipulation machine, that will wipe the memories, of the speech attendees, York and in fact the whole of Yorkshire. His assistant has seen sense and is recruiting spies to locate the key to stop this devilish Doctor – the Torque bracelet.
The Force Four superheroes, Torus, Oculo, Hermes and Badger, have been stripped of their superpowers and it is up to you to stop the evil baddy Mobius taking over York city centre.
Our game master James the Flush prepared us for battle to use our skill, strength of mind and inner super hero powers to complete our mission, save force four and grab our slice of victory.
Team name decided; Fire Foxes, and my personal superhero name chosen; Forkward Fire Flame, it was time to don the superhero cape and mask and prepare for a battle like no other. Without giving too much away, this high tech filled room had gadgets and games galore to get your heart and mind pumping.
Known as Eoforwick to the Saxons, Eboracum to the Romans and then invaded by the Vikings who coined the name Jorvik, York is a city steeped in history and charm, an architectural Aladdin’s cave of all things historic, but is an ever-evolving city which offers a range of exciting events, activities, museums and restaurants.
Travelling by rail to York could not be easier and the station is less than a 5-10 minute walk into the heart of all the historic action. Perhaps you already have an organised itinerary, or maybe decided on a spontaneous trip away, either way, if you have already pre-purchased your
