Medieval Room: In search of the fountain of youth, we had to get our fill of the miracle water before time ran out. Voodoo Room: A Voodoo queen has cursed our town. We had to break into her shop and break the curse. Pros: We arrived in beautiful San Diego ready to explore the city and play some amazing escape rooms. Lockdown San Diego dd not let us down. The gamemasters at Lockdown San Diego greeted us when we walked in and immediately impressed us with their enthusiasm and efficiency. Because we play so many rooms, we especially appreciate when gamemasters are able to shorten their intro for enthusiasts. Mark and Nina introduced us to our story lines in the Medieval and Voodoo Rooms. Once we entered the rooms, we were immediately impressed by the set design. Each room created an immersive feel that gave us the full sense that we were actually in a Voodoo shop or Medieval castle. This only enhanced our experience at Lockdown. The game flow in both rooms was also very smooth. Puzzles flowed logically from one to the other. This was evidenced by the fact that we needed only one or two hints in each room. The puzzles were aligned to the themes of the rooms and we truly enjoyed solving each puzzle. ​Cons: There was one puzzle in the Voodoo Room that stumped us for a while (we needed a hint on this one). We felt it was a bit counterintuitive but once the gamemaster corrected us, we were able to resume our flow. The tech in the rooms was a bit slow and tricky at times, but the gamemaster again helped us navigate the issues and kept the game moving. Lockdown San Diego was an excellent game-play experience for beginners and enthusiasts alike. We definitely recommend you check them out in San Diego!

Sadly, I didn’t read the reviews before going. Nobody recommends. Don’t waste your time- awful service and broken puzzles that ruined experience.

I would not recommend this room. Too easy for experienced escapers and not kept up enough for newbies. Customer service is lacking

Gameplay

Very lackluster with many puzzles that didn’t seem to work correctly leading to drawers opening without completing multiple puzzles. Faded clues that were hard to read. Completely silent with no music. The only 2 combo locks were not reset well so half the combo were already there.

Atmosphere

There was no music until we completed the room. Room was a bit rundown. Puzzles didn’t all work correctly

Customer service

He seemed preoccupied. He didn’t walk us to the room, didn’t offer to take a picture, didn’t seem to value customer’s happiness.

Particularly interesting or different

No

Not in my opinion

Story

Generic story and props

Difficulty

Easy

The staff member sarcastically stated “it’s not my fault you’re too smart for the room.” It was some very obvious puzzles and the ones that looked most challenging didn’t even work correctly

Game tech

Mechanical

Very low budget, low tech

Ideal number of players

1 experienced player, 2 inexperienced players

Scary

Not scary

Some music or sounds playing would help the mood

Was anything broken?

Yes

2 of 2 combo locks were only halfway reset. Some drawers and cabinets opened without having to use the exact answer. 3 big puzzles were not used due to that. We didn’t realize we beat the room with certain outlined spots unused

Live actors

No

We had to open a door that needed wd40 on the wheels…

Someone with a wheel chair could do most of the puzzles

Easy to find location

Street parking in a busy area. We got lucky

Don’t waste your time I wouldn’t even go back if it was free. Customer Service was horrendous and it had multiple broken puzzles.

This was a fun room, loved the spooky voodoo vibe and had some unique puzzles. Had a lot of people in our group so could have been less. The ending was anticlimactic

Voodoo is a fun room with a good storyline and enjoyable moments. Like the other rooms at lockdown, awesome for introducing to the hobby. I brought a corporate group here once for team building and they all loved it.

This room needed some work when we did it. Hopefully it’s fixed up now but it was riddled with broken puzzles and at one point someone needed to come in and rip a drawer open and they didn’t even stop our timer. This was also our first room with a SMELL aspect and it kind of soured the concept for us, as there were basically no smells to be had.

Another fun room. Did it as a group of 6 experienced players so it was a bit easy for us but still fun and worth doing. Great room for beginners or small groups of experienced players.
