    The Heist
    Really enjoyed ‘The Heist’, our Locked Room puzzle game today. Lots of different kinds of puzzles to solve, physical & mental. Very well designed with several brilliant surprises. Holly, our Games Master, made sure it didn’t get too frustrating by giving us a couple of clues when we got stuck. Time passed very quickly & we had a great experience. Would thoroughly recommend! Some parking available outside the building but building & carpark are tucked in behind a wall on a one way street so best to leave plenty time to find it.

    Fantastic experience
    We were given a visit to the Locked Door as a gift and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The challenge itself was very stimulating, and, admittedly, we did receive some clues and help from our game co-ordinator. We selected the Heist, but there are a number of options to choose from. The staff were simply lovely, helpful, fun and the actual rooms are creatively clever and the time passed all too quickly. Well done to both owners (sisters we understand) and their employees. Hugely recommended, private car parking at the door and the photo to take home is not an extra cost, which was refreshingly good.

    Great time!
    As a family, we have done a few of these now, keep coming back for more! Great team building exercise but everyone in the group have their own strengths and discover clues that others have overlooked. Really clever! Different levels of difficulty. Definitely recommend. Located in a quiet part of city center with no bus gates to contend with and free off road parking.

    One of the best escape rooms I've been to!!!
    This for sure was one of the best escape rooms I've been to (I have been to rooms in many different cities and countries, and this was at least top 3)! A lot of exciting stuff for several players to do both together as a team and separately. We did the "Raiders" room, and solved it in about 50 mins (3 persons). The host was really friendly and helpful, and gave us a couple of hints when she saw that we might be a bit "off". A really good experience that left us really excited and thrill- fulfilled. Too bad we only had time for one room...

    Great first time experience.
    This was my first time doing an escape room and it won't be my last, despite not getting out within the hour. We had 2 groups visiting so we did 2 different rooms; Raiders and Enchanted Forest. Both were well thought out, with plenty of puzzles to work out. There were many hints available from our lovely guide who explained everything to us before we entered the room proper. Overall, a very good experience.

I’ve been to The Locked Door three times now and would heartily recommend to anyone who enjoys escape puzzles, or puzzles of any kind. The room themes are very good and the puzzles are varied and interesting. There’s excitement in all the rooms and you do get a feeling of huge satisfaction at the results of some puzzle steps.

The location is very much out of the way, so you won’t just stumble across the place, but definitely worth seeking it out.

To give a little balance to the review, I would say that while some aspects are very high quality, there is definitely a sense that a budget has been applied to some of the props within the rooms, but this doesn’t detract at all from the fun you will have.

Lastly, the staff here are excellent: friendly, informative and excited to tell you about the adventure you are about to embark on. COVID has clearly also be considered fully and we were given all the expected precautions. Top marks all round!

Our family of 4, 2 adults and 2 children (16 & 13) visited the Locked Door Raiders room. It was a fantastic experience, well organised and supported with clues where needed. We were met and transported to Ancient Egypt by the knowledgeable and motivated staff member. Not only was the experience great and the puzzles amazing, the care and attention to detail of the room design was very authentic and all hand crafted by the sisters who run the business. Such a great family outing and will definitely try their other rooms in the very near future. 100% recommend, thanks.

Having decided to take the caledonian Sleeper to London, we took the train up to Aberdeen and try out these escape rooms after a trusted recommendation and so glad that we did. We had booked 2 rooms a few hours apart, having planned to go for food in between, bu the restaurant was closed and the GMs offered to let us do the rooms back to back - something we had never tried before. A little hung over, we agreed and had amazing fun. The Heist was tricky and massive fun for the two of us, just the right amount of challenge and we managed to get out just under the hour. A water break and straight into raiders - now one of my favourite rooms with a very unique feature. At first it was bewildering with so much to do but we knuckled down and got out with 5 minutes to spare. We would have loved to have stayed at chatted to the GMs for longer, they were keen enthusiastic and knowledgable, the founder is a keen ER enthusiast and we will be back to try the Christmas room. Highly recommend

We had never visited an escape room before and weren’t really sure what to expect. We were greeted at the door and given a really in depth brief before starting the Raiders themed escape room, and the woman who talked us through everything was really friendly and enthusiastic. The room itself was tough with loads and loads of puzzles and locks to solve, and the experience as a whole was really impressive and thoroughly thought out. We learned afterwards that everything in the room was designed by the girls who ran the Locked Door - which took us a while to wrap our head around as there was so much involved! Would definitely recommend and hope to be back soon - 10/10!

Great experience and laugh with your friends. Host Holly was a delight and enhanced our experience so much. Challenging yet achievable. The clues were set up so greatly and clues are given when needed but you still need to work it out on your own too. Would definitely recommend and will be returning !

I’ve only been to one escape room experience before, although others in our party had been to more. This was on a different level! The Indiana Jones style theme of the one we did here was absolutely brilliant. The whole group was fired up and whooping all the way through, caused by their finds. There were a couple of genius twists. We did receive one or two clues from the very observant hidden staff, just at the right moment to keep things flowing. A great experience! And very professionally run by the friendly owners.

An excellent experience. Made to feel comfortable and safe from the start. Then a boost of immersion being dropped in to the story.

A great sense of achievement every time you solve an aspect of the puzzle. All the puzzles are rewarding and difficult but never impossible.

Zombie skull smashing is not compulsory.

Great fun at The Heist! 💎🧩🧠💭👀⏳
2nd visit from our team and we can't wait to go back! Holly and her team are always friendly and the games are very clever and very exciting! Great imagination to have created these rooms. I recommend The Locked Door to friends and family as well as colleagues.

If you like puzzles and putting your problem solving skills to the test-this is for you! Don't be shy, give it atry it. GUARENTEE YOU'LL ❤️ IT!

A nice escape (no pun intended) from the year of Covid. A safe environment during this time too with the rooms being sanitised between teams, hand gel provided, and teams wearing masks and are from 2 households only (during the current pandemic).

An excellent , well organised , fun experience . We went with friends for a birthday treat ( we’re all over 55 and had a fantastic afternoon . The staff were extremely friendly and gave us a wee help when we were struggling with a couple of clues .

I like the fact this is a local family/ friends business who create their own rooms and props which were brilliantly done . Would definitely return to tackle some of the other rooms . Thanks for a great day out and see you again - very soon !
