value for moneygreat hosting😨creepy

Great hosting, Great value, and Great puzzles, what more do you want? None of the rooms here are going to trouble TERPECA 

but I can't think of anywhere better in this area.

This was only a fairly small single room, but well designed and packed with some great puzzles. It was creepy rather than scary, I had a 7 year old and it was fine. Definitely recommend this company.

Nothing wowing or grandiose in this game, but it offers a variety of puzzles, with a rewarding progress and logical flow. Plus, Ormskirk is lovely to visit! Recommend. πŸ™‚

Loved the immersion of the room, great hosting and perfect introduction video to set the scene. Lots of great puzzles but a couple that didn’t seem to fit. Small space but they did pack in a few surprises. Mostly traditional locks but the tech elements were well done.

Lots of fun - took us a long time to get going. Loads of puzzles and some interesting bits we hadn't seen before.

Great little room, a very typical "Cabin in the woods! game. - Some interesting puzzles. An easy game if you're experienced.

Theming was nice, hosting was good with helpful hints when we needed. It was on the easy side, but we still had fun playing it.

We are suckers for a cabin themed room and this was exactly it! The themeing was great and the puzzles were even better! Again lots of content but could get through it in the time given! Team work is a must and again some quirky jump scares along the way. Loved this room, probably the best one of our escape room jaunt so far! Look forward to playing the ministry when we come back.

Creepy and jumpy at times which made the Room fun. The puzzles we did were slightly difficult but enjoyed having a stab at it. Will be going back to try again!

Reviews by escape room review sites

Perhaps on the easier side, The Lodge would be a great entry level game for those thinking of trying an escape room. Even enthusiasts should have a good time as the puzzles are decent and the theming is spot on.

The moment we set foot into the Lodge, all we could think of was Shia Lebeouf… such was the theme and setting and Lockdown had it spot on, a not so innocent shack in the woods, rustic homely but just a little bit sinister.
