Another Groupon purchase which turned out very well. We had purchased a locked room experience (Tick Tock Unlock)for our brother in law Steven and as we were back in Scotland he decided it would be a good idea for us to go along with him.
If you don’t know the concept of the locked room experience – it’s basically a team of you are locked into a room with a series of clues for items in the room and you have to work out how to get out. There are many many puzzles and questions that need to be answered and the room is literally chock full of locks and codes etc which you need to decode and unlock to get you moving towards release from the room.
This one in St Vincent street is very well done and the friendly staff member, Amy, helps you throughout the process via a screen on the wall. That way you don’t spend ridiculous amounts of time doing the wrong thing and get locked forever in the room!
I’ll not give anything away on the puzzles front though as it’s worthwhile working it out for yourselves. teams for 3-6 can play at once and you need many heads to work it all out. we had a team of 5 (Myself, Ben, Steven and Carol’s cousin and uncle (Sarah and Iain). We needed all 5 heads that is for sure. So many puzzles and so much interlinking. Whilst one person is doing the prep work for one area someone else is unlocking something painstakingly.
Great fun! We were not allowed to take photos in the room but they did take a photo of the team which we will stick up on here when they publish on Facebook.
They have only just opened in Glasgow but I’d recommend having a go. It started slow for us but by the end we were all into it and excited! And did we make it out? Yep…with 13 seconds to spare!!
