Can YOU Escape the Room?
You've chanced your luck one too many times and now find yourself locked up in the most secure prison in the US. No prospect of escaping it would seem as the security has been ugraded following a high profile escape. Not one to shy away from a challenge you find out that a new high security vault has also been built on the island. The rumour mill is rife with theories and conspiracies, but you and a small group of inmates start plotting the most audacious bank robbery in history. Will you be successful?
You and a group of friends decide to spend a weekend in Bedford. You rent a house from a holiday rental website. It was supposed to be a fun relaxing weekend with friends. That is until you hear a noise downstairs in the middle of the night. You realize that someone has been in the house and turned off the power. All the doors and windows are locked - there is no way to escape….
When the Fairfax family are wiped out in a plane crash, you the closest living relative, are given the keys to the famous Wharf Distillery. With no knowledge of gin making you open the door and realise what you have taken on. There is a rumour that the recipe to the famous Gin was never written down. Looking at the order book, you see that time is now critical. You have assembled a team of friends to help you run the distillery but first, you need to figure out how to make the Gin.
It’s 12 months since you successfully escaped The Rock and things have taken a turn for the worst. One day you’re about to pull off a big heist when things go wrong, bad planning, you’re outnumbered and the cops are called. Once again you find yourself in the most secure prison in the US. Only this time it’s your fault. Following your previous escape, the prison security has been upgraded, but this does not deter you. Very quickly you and your friends start plotting another escape from The Rock.
The war is not going well. The Germans are advancing towards the coast of France and Belgium. Any resistance made by the allied forces is swept aside. A resistance group have found top secret plans which describe the next phase of the German advance including how they plan to invade England. The plans were being decoded in a secret hut near Bletchley but the agents have mysteriously disappeared. You have been asked to go to the secret hut with a team to try to find the plans before it is too late.
At the same time as the security upgrade of the infamous Penitentiary in San Francisco Bay is taking place a secert underground Vault is also created. During a recent robbery you and your accomplices find a strange key which you all agree unlocks a safety deposit box, but after multiple attempts to figure out which bank the key belongs to you decide there can only be one option left. You make the call giving the name of the victim and arrange an appointment this afternoon. Can pull off the most outrageous bank heist in history?

The attention to detail is great as is the support. Y Cathy running the show! This really help as she is quick to give you clues when you request them and attentive. I like the more personalised approach. Have been to only one other escape room provider and it was a bit like you were left on your own.
I should add, we took our ten and twelve year old boys and dressed up in fancy dress boiler suits to add to the ambiance (during COVID-19) and they really enjoyed it although we got locked in!!
Felt really safe (hygienically also) during the whole experience.

I think maybe we were a little ambitious with the 2 hour experience for a first time but it was amazing. We had such a good time and it was a good laugh. The staff were amazing and so helpful. We unfortunately didn't get out but we were going for gold so didn't ask for many clues to begin with which was also ambitious for a first time. We are definitely returning. read less

This was my first escape room and was quite tricky but the puzzles were all logical and made sense. We did get locked in unfortunately, but we were going for the gold level and maybe should have set our sights lower for our first room. The room was fun and themed well, my love of gin being part of the reason why my wife picked it for me. The staff were very friendly and I will definitely be looking to go again; the vault and rock rooms sound really exciting. read less

THE KUDOS CHALLENGE
The Kudos Challenge is unique to Don’t Get Locked In, enabling you, the players, to take control of how many clues you use and thus how difficult the game is. Less clues means more kudos. we have created 3 levels of difficulty:
Bronze

Silver

Gold

Each level allows the team to ask for a limited number of clues, for example Gold level is 0-3. This enables our players to directly control with what difficulty level they want to play the game. For teams that escape on the Gold level there is a special prize of our Don’t Get Locked Gin. You can also purchase it from our shop here
Of course you don’t have to take up the Kudos Challenge you can instead use as many clues as you want to ‘just escape’, that is the beauty of the Kudos Challenge it’s your choice how you play each game. Good Luck!
