The Abandoned Carnival

We heard this was Padlock’d’s best room and it sure didn’t disappoint! They really made fantastic use of the space by repurposing an old carnival site into a big escape experience that had some really cool props. While it looked and felt a little dated, that actually played into the “abandoned” carnival theme rather well, though it’s definitely not scary or creepy. While Padlock'd may have gotten a little lazy and generic with their newer offerings, this one remains original and unique.

This room had great props and atmosphere, partly because it was once an actual carnival and Padlock’d repurposed it. The puzzles required teamwork, and had a great variety and fit to the theme.

Not sure what the hype was for this room. We did it based on reviews and high rating - but I don’t get the appeal, Yep it was different and had good puzzles, but overall I thought it was just ok - we had some technical issues with one of the props and that ate a bit of time. Definitely been in much better rooms. Overall a good fun room but not great.

Very immersive carnival atmosphere. Challenging room due to the larger space and requires good team communication but not impossible for two players. The two of us completed under half the time.

This was the final room of a 6 room marathon my partner and I completed, and it was still a blast! There is a standout mechanic that I have truly never seen in a room before and it was so much fun. We were given special permission to complete the room as a team of two, and having our phones with us was crucial. The space is massive and there is a puzzle that requires communication over a large amount of the room. The puzzles were all approachable and linear, not a huge amount of challenge for an experienced team, but also a great room to try if you are new to escapes. Riley was an energetic and friendly GM at the end of the night. We can’t wait to come back and finish the padlocked rooms!

The biggest room on the premise and it shows! Plenty of space for everyone to work on puzzles without getting in each other's way. Some clever puzzles though the ball shooter was a bit frustrating to use. Although this room is marketed as spooky, to be honest it didn't register as scary-themed at all, even to my sensitive self. A fun experience overall!

Loved that the puzzles are easy enough that you can solve it but difficult enough to where if you had a few people it would be challenging

The Abandoned Carnival had many unexpected twists, turns and surprising reveals. There was a great variety of puzzles and 1 particularly exciting and fun moment that was a delight (sorry, no spoilers!). The staff at Padlock'd were friendly and accommodating and our game master Zachary took good care of us.

Besides my co-worker trying to concuss herself it was a great room and experience. Such a spacious room I recommend at least 5 people would be a great amount. Puzzles were in the theme and are solvable!
