Puzzles were not especially complex, but they were also not repetitive or tedious. The theming and decoration were delightful. The staff also interacted in a really fun way. A truly joyful experience.

Another amazing room by this company. Room was on the smaller size but highly recommend for Christmas lovers. Game flow was amazing, there were some new features in this game that were very unique and we hadn't yet experienced them in any of the 43 other rooms we have done. Highly recommend.

This is such a kind review! With this room, we were trying to make it accessible to all escape room players, regardless of their escape room experience! It's wonderful to see that escape room enthusiasts such as yourself also had a great time!

Integrating familiar Christmas characters, songs, and creating a bit of whimsical magic. Moreso the game master is watching from afar but involved to ensure your team is having a good experience as with our prior game there.

Thank you so much! We were really trying to make sure the room would be a good fit for all players, from those who have never played an escape room before to those who have done so many times. We're glad that you had a good time!

Fun little Christmas themed room! Very accessible for new escape room players, but plenty of effort put in to ensure seasoned players enjoy themselves too. Our family, inc. 12 and 10 year old kids, had a great time. Lots of puzzles that could be solved in parallel; perfect for our team to divide and conquer. GM Jay was also very engaged and entertaining. Thanks again, Sure Lock!

Booked this with myself, my significant other, and our two adult children. It was a very solid little room. Certainly friendly for new users but still having some cool little puzzles and nice touches. Overall a well planned and laid out room. Having 4 of us there were a few moments without quite enough to do but it was minimal and expected with a newbie friendly room.

We appreciate this so much! We made a special effort for this room to be approachable for those who have never played an escape room before, but also charming and fun for groups that have! Thank you for coming out to play one of our rooms!

Had such a fun time. One of the coolest rooms in terms of how things were run and how they interacted with each other. Can’t wait till their next room.

Puzzles were super unique. Thought we were done and then there was a whole other section of puzzles to complete. Super cool!
Atmosphere
Super cool special effects.
Customer service
Our GM was super welcoming. Enjoyed his interactive responses to what we were doing in the room.

Would highly recommend this escape room. It nicely got us into a wintery/Christmas-y spirit. The puzzles were varied with some elements we hadn't encountered before. Our gamemaster Kenzie (Trixie Everfriend) was great and provided a couple of nudges when we needed them. There were several surprises as we worked through the puzzles which added positively to the experience.
Gameplay
Good variety of fun puzzles with some elements we hadn't seen before.
Atmosphere
Set design and props helped transport us into feeling like it was winter and Christmas time.
Customer service
Yes, GM was great before, during, and after the escape room.
Particularly interesting or different
Yes
The variety of puzzles really added to the experience and also allowed different members of our group to contribute in their own ways.
Story
The experience seemed to flow well and follow the overall story of what was happening and what we were trying to do.

I think most children would find some of the puzzles really fun to work on and would like the set design.

Did not require climbing or crawling or major physical exertion.

Mobility probably shouldn't be an issue for most of the room. Color blindness would be a hindrance for one of the puzzles.

Except for one driver who didn't notice she was using directions to Sure Lock Escapes in Renton on her phone.......
