    First step in completing the set!!
    Mixed team of newbies and seasoned escapers. First visit to Don’t Get Locked In and it didn’t disappoint. Really enthusiastic and friendly welcome. The room (Extortion) was excellent. All very professionally done and they made sure to keep it fun at the same time. We are definitely going to complete (fingers crossed) all of the rooms at this venue and really looking forward to it. Our Escape Room newbie pals loved it as well - a brilliant introduction. (Escaped with 9 mins 51 seconds left on the clock and 2x hints - high 5’s all round!)

    Highly recommended! Great time had by all!
    Such a great experience, the host Humza was exceptional. Welcoming, friendly, patient and helpful (when required) once we were in the room! It was probably the best escape room I have done to date, a great day had by all, with ages ranging from 10 years - forties! We will definetly be back for me,

    Wow!
    From the offset the hosts were amazing! Walking into our game we were all a bit disappointed, we had high expectations to have the wow factor however by the end we all walked out amazed! And it definitely ended on a wow! We took advantage of the discount and attended their rage room and bar for a cocktail later that evening. They made our whole experience very personal and made our whole hen weekend with the activities they provided. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    Great experience, good fun!
    Had a great experience with our gamemaster Hugo. It was my mums first ever escape room and she had such a great time we are hoping to book onto another one this coming week. Definitely recommend!

    We didn't get locked in!
    Humza was great. Did everything to ensure we the group had a fabulous time. The experience was very enjoyable and he coped with a group of excitable teenagers really well! The only thing I question is the price. Since the price is per head, the costs can soon mount. Given it must be the same price to run the room for 2 people as it is for 8. I think I would have preferred banded pricing or a "deal" i.e. buy 6 spaces get one free type thing. But generally I would recommend and can't fault the actual game play or the helpfulness of the staff.

    Great Family Fun
    We had a fantastic time in this escape room. We took the kids (16,12, 11) they had great fun trying to work out clues, crawling through escape routes etc We can confirm we managed it without too many arguments 🤣 Thanks to Hugo (who was an amazing host) we even managed to escape, but with a lot of help 😀 Well worth a visit

    Excellent family fun with teens.
    Excellent family fun for us and our teens. We very nearly escaped the Secret Hut. The whole team were great at explaining how it all worked, but a special shout out to Hugo, he was an excellent host. Great level of difficultly in the room, and we only needed a few hints!

All in all great fun! I was a rookie and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a last minute idea of something to do with my 13 year old. If you know what I am talking about and are a newbie, choose a linear room rather than non linear, if you haven't got a clue what I'm going on about asked Cathy or Lizzie who are incredibly helpful. Our room had mostly combination clues to be cracked which was a tad monotonous. Two of the clues didn't work properly. An hour is fairly priced, if not a little ripe. My son wanted to do 2 hours which is simply double the hourly rate, I would have been more inclined if the pricing structure was different.

I booked for my son’s birthday - a group of 6 x 13/14 year old boys. We chose Extortion. The whole experience was amazing - the game was explained to us before the boys went in, and it was fantastic to see them all working together to figure out the clues! In the end, they didn’t manage to escape but loved the experience! Fans of escape rooms will enjoy the challenge, and I was so impressed by the professionalism and presentation of the whole organisation. Highly recommended!

Thank you so much for taking the time out to give us a review and for your high recommendation. It's especially rewarding as a parent to see a group of teenagers working together and solving puzzles, great teambuilding. Obviously your booking was pre-Covid and hopefully we can all get back to playing escape room games this way with a group of friends. We've reopened again and not only is Extortion available to play from now but Gin & Panic is too and our Lock In Lounge is available for the VIP Experiences. From 8th August players can play The Secret Hut and Return To The Rock and then from 22nd August The Vault is open and Audacious (a 2 hour continuous game incorporating Return To The Rock and The Vault).

Well thought out escape room. We played Extortion and escaped. Have played quite a few rooms now. They make sure you sanitise on arrival, all wearing masks etc. We were told about extra levels of sanitisation and ventilation of the rooms between games. We had such a great time and will be back! Its good to see that there are things to do like this in Bedford!

One of the best escape rooms we have been to.
Really well organised and very clean.
The room was quite modern with keypads and electronic locks, opposed to tradition find a key type rooms.
Staff were great, friendly and happy to assist when necessary.
We will return to try another room......hopefully with more success!

Thank you so much for taking the time out to write a review. We have worked really hard to be as COVID safe as is possible and I'm really pleased you enjoyed Return To The Rock. Some of our rooms have few padlocks in, some padlock-less and some as you saw we have raised the bar with the technology. We look forward to seeing you again. Which room next I wonder?

What can I say !! Absolutely fantastic.The level of detail in the room was by far the most immersive and engaging experience the four of us had ever had. We are definitely looking forward to discovering the rest of the rooms available. The Games master was very professional and was quick to reassure any fears or answer any questions. We have tryed previous escape rooms elsewhere but was blown away by the experience. IF IN BEDFORD BOOK!! This experience will leave you talking for days and has all kinds of twists and turns. The kudos challenge was a great incentive with a free bottle of gin if u completed the room with 0-3 clues. We where over the moon to escape with only 9 seconds left and receive silver kudos. A big thanks to Cathy and cant wait to come back.

Wow, thank you so much for taking the time out to write a review and for the high recommendation. We try really hard when we design our rooms to create a totally unique and immersive experience for our players. I'm pleased that you all (a mixture of newbies and experienced players) enjoyed The Secret Hut. I look forward to welcoming you all back at some point in the future.

We tried this non-linear escape room after having a brilliant experience in their ‘Gin and Panic’ escape room. The room had some really unique clues and has an interesting atmosphere by starting in the dark (it isn’t pitch black so nothing to worry about). Natalie was great and very enthusiastic (as she was in our previous trip) taking time to talk us through our escape and answering our questions about the room. Then we had a nice drink in the lounge to cap off the experience. Would recommend as a fun and quite unique take on an escape room.

Hi jackcH3722QZ Thanks so much for your feedback and 5 star review of Extortion. Extortion has been really popular, it's got a bit of a creepy element to the game and yes starting off in the dark adds to the theming of this room - you've rented an apartment with friends in Bedford, you're asleep, get disturbed and come downstairs to find that all the doors and windows are locked! As you know.. the doors and windows are not ACTUALLY locked, that's one of the first things we talk about in our safety briefing at the start of all of the games with players but you're made to feel like they are :) I'm pleased you enjoyed Extortion and brilliant to hear of your positive experience in Gin & Panic too. A drink in the Lock In Lounge is always a good opportunity to discuss the room afterwards. Thanks again or your recommendation and we'd love to welcome you to Don't Get Locked In again.. you still have The Secret Hut to try (linear room), Return to The Rock (linear then non-linear), The Vault (linear then non-linear) and our 2 hour game Audacious (linear then non-linear)

We did the Halloween experience with a live actor. The room itself was great and we got out with 26 seconds left!
The live actor was great too and my friends found it very scary and disturbing when trying to solve the escape room.
Definitely recommend the rooms and thanks to the staff for allowing us to have a great time and feel comfortable despite the Covid rules.

Thank you so much for taking the time out to review us, we are thrilled that you enjoyed the Halloween Special with the live actor in our escape room Extortion. 26 seconds, that was cutting it fine! Our Halloween Live Actor Special in both Extortion and The Secret Hut was really popular and will most likely do it again next year. Really happy that you recommend our rooms and more importantly felt really safe and comfortable during this difficult time.

Our Host was very enthusiastic and clearly loves what she does. We did the Gin and Panic room which was well thought out with the right amount of challenge. You can get hints, but only if everyone agrees and it's really good to get a debriefing at the end so all your unanswered questions can be answered. Attention to detail was great. Can't wait to try another room.

Our first time at Don’t Get Locked In was an absolute blast! the staff are really welcoming and friendly, the room and building was a clean COVID safe space with cleaning stations and rules In place to keep you safe. The room itself was great we all found it challenging with a variety of puzzles to figure out. We will definitely be back in to try their other rooms.

Thank you so much for taking the time out to write a review. I'm delighted that you guys had such a good time with us, we've got plenty of other rooms to keep you busy with and have our Halloween Special coming up over the next couple of weeks if that's of interest. Extortion and The Secret Hut are both getting a Halloween makeover and there's talk of a live actor or two...

A thoroughly enjoyable experience. Cathy was extremely helpful and made us all feel very welcome and prepared. She was brilliant at making a sceptical 11 year old excited and encouraging our 8 year old. We did the Christmas themed room and escaped with a few minutes to go. The level of difficulty was perfect for a family - some aspects required us parents to step in and some really were quite challenging, whereas others the kids worked through by themselves. They absolutely loved it and the 11 year old came out obsessed and definitely no longer sceptical! Thanks so much - we will be back!

Thank you so much guys for the lovely review of your experience with us in Big Trouble at Christmas! Created inhouse by my husband, it was designed with kids in mind from 6 years upwards to be played with adult guidance or it's a great adult beginner room. We've had amazing feedback from parents, especially those with children with a few years or more age gap between them. Challenging enough so that adults that take part as and when necessary and easy enough in parts where the children can get stuck in. I'm thrilled you all had a great time with us and am so excited that your 11 year wants to play escape room games in the future.
