Didnt enjoy myself very much overall. I thought it was going to be a great concept have a lot of fun. But ended up being way over complicated and left a a bad impression on me. Dont think I will be coming back. No one in there right mind could have figured this out without having to ask for clues. And even when we asked for the clues , you cant even hear the person trying to give it to you because you guys have such a crappy walkie talkie. You need to invest in an intercom system so everything is nice and clear instead of the walkie talkie which was staticky and no volume. Heres a tip when you get to the next room you should extend another 10 minutes. Kind of misleading when it says escape room when it should have been escape roomS.

Solid escape room experience. We did the "Medieval Room" with a group of 8 on a Sunday. Staff was friendly and accommodating of our group and schedule. We made a reservation in advance, and the entire event ran smoothly. We had the room for an hour, and it took us about 30-minutes to complete all of the puzzles without hints. It felt shorter than other escape rooms Ive done, but the size of our group could have easily impacted that. PROPS: Escape room build out, and the intro video were put together well, and showed a lot of care and attention to detail. SLOPS: Medieval Room puzzles felt a bit easy. That being said, this WAS labeled as "medium difficulty."

My sisters and I came here for a birthday celebration and we had a great time! Initially was expensive but we booked through Groupon which was a great deal. This was our first escape room experience and we had no idea what to expect & were a bit nervous.The staff was friendly, energetic, & inviting- that alone will make us come back! The intro video and the room & props were cool as we did the Medieval Room. The game itself is an eye opener as this was our first time. At the end of your game, The staff let you take some memorable photos with some props afterwards. Overall great experience, & we will be coming back for more!

Worst ever! This is the 10th escape room weve been to as a couple and this was by far the least professional and least logical. Our first clue led us to an unattainable item. The attendant had to come in after 10 minutes of frustration and move the item closer! Then a sticky lock cost us another 10 minutes. This in addition to zero logical connections between clues gave this a terrible feel. We love escape rooms and would not pay $1 to go back to this one. Poor quality of room, condescending staff, and illogical clue connections leave this escape room location on the bottom of the list.

Went here for my birthday with two other friends and a good time was had by all. We booked the "old west" room and sparing the spoilers it was challenging, but not so hard we could not finish. The decoration was well done and complimented the back story. Afterwards we had time to do the "voodoo" themed room and it was equally if not more impressive. Would go again and I recommend it.

Really nice facility. Staff is super friendly. Group of 4 did the mideval room. It is apparently one of their easier rooms, but it was elaborate enough to be interesting and challenging enough to still be a lot of fun. We have plans to go back and try one of the harder rooms with additional friends.

Just escaped the Medieval room at Lockdown. Great staff, the space was clean and well maintained and the room was FABULOUS! We own Escape Frenzy in MN and love checking out other escape rooms when we travel, so if you are looking for a fun way to spend an hour go check out Lockdown in San Diego!

It was a great friendly experience. Great entertainment with an over priced experience. I will not return because of the price.

Amazing time and really fun great challenges that really get you thinking. The Voodoo room really gets your head turning.

Trent Timmons

Very enjoyable room. We have done 4 and this ranks as one of the best. Only ding-Room could have been a little cooler.

Lot of fun. Been to a few and this is one of the better quality ones Ive seen. Friendly staff and very nice facility.

Escaping was a Challenge but the amount of fun your party has trying to escape leaves you wanting more after!
