The aptly named "Let the Games Begin" was the first of our rooms to open here at DreadLock. Packed full of puzzles, all inspired by classic board games, this is a fun, colourful game which will make you feel like a child again.

Mandy our host was wonderful in her guidance of our little team of 3 adults and one child for this room. We may have asked for a free clues to finish this room as it was a bit tricky in spaces. But we loved it and got the cluedo thing right at the very last moment. All in all a great experience and looking forward to coming back for more.

The staff at this place are really friendly and welcoming. The room itself is rather low tech and decorations are not groundbreaking but it’s all on theme and it gives that classic escape room feel. The puzzles are really fun and all fit within the theme too - some of them were quite creative! If you are in the area I recommend you try this place out :) I look forward to doing more of their rooms

After doing "Witch Way Out" and "Detention" at Dreadlock we had to do their 3rd and final room. This room hits you with nostalgia the second you walk in the door, with well themed puzzles linked to old games I would play as a child and a bonus task for figuring out the Cluedo puzzle hidden in the room. Although this game is more basic in its set design than the previous two games I would certainly say this game is perfect for the whole family. Overall a great experience at DreadLock and the owners are absolutely incredible - so friendly and passionate about what they do. Difficulty - 3 / 5 Puzzles - 4 / 5 Theming - 4 / 5 Set Design - 2.5 / 5 Enjoyment - 3.5 / 5 Value For Money - 5 / 5
