Top Rated Escape Rooms at Night for Kids and Couples in Sheffield

Cameron Swann: I booked an escape room for my birthday weekend and accidentally booked the wrong day (I’m dyslexic and clearly misread). I arrived on the Saturday at the time stated with my friends as a birthday trip to be told I’d accidentally booked for the Sunday. From there I was refused a refund despite being 24 hours notice and having paid £102. I appreciate this was my mistake but being £102 down with no slight refund the day before my birthday is disgusting! Won’t be visiting again.

Becky: Good fun! We did the contagion one

Mary Brown: did the Taken room- was challenging but great fun! Dylan was absolutely excellent as a host, helpful and funny and really made our experience so much better. thank you Dylan! x

Quiche: Have played 2 rooms here and looking forward to our next visit.!

Hayley Anne McCready: Well themed Escape Rooms with a fun variety of puzzles

Martyn Marshall: Brilliant place, all the staff (Sandeep) was very helpful and knowledgeable. Escape rooms are very well thought up and genuinely brilliant. Would highly recommended it anyone. Coming back soon!

Taylor Wilcox: Submerged with two groups was brill.

Simon Kirkham: Spent a great time with the team at escape rooms really enjoyed the "experience" and we got out within the hour. Really good fun recommend it for group of 4 or 5 to "fill" a room . I think they had five rooms so different experiences depending on which you choose but all will tax your mind

Jodie Porter: Brilliant escape room!! Hannah looked after us very well both at the bar and during the experience

B Herring: I have done many escape rooms and this one (witchcraft and wizardary) is definitely up there with one of the best I have done. It had so many locks, which I loved. It was very well set up and decorated overall, very authentic. Kirsty our host/game master was lovely. She was very friendly and welcoming. Definitely recommend, it is so much fun.

B23: An amazing evening! I did the Harry Potter escape room and had a blast! Our host Chloe was brilliant, so nice and helpful, she definitely helped make the experience so fab. We had so much fun and found the puzzles so intricate and cool. Would reccomend this to anyone!!!

Glen Simmonds: Really enjoyed this experience the staff were great and with a couple of clues we managed to escape ,will go again and try the sherlock room..

littlechewise X: Awful place went with my two friends two days ago and it was a horrible experience, lady was unkind and rude and never gave us our clues on time causing us a delay in the next clue, was very unprepared (the tv kept switching off). For an hour asking £22 is completely unnecessary. If were giving you that much the least you could give us id human decency and treat us with kindness not “this is the hardest room you’ve picked.”Never arriving here again. What a waste of my time

Julie Gilbey: Did the 221B Baker Street with my 2 kids (27 & 20). Thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm not the most logical person but I solved 2 of the codes and was well proud of myself!Definitely go again.

Matt Walker: Loved it. We did the Baker Street, can't wait to go back for another one.

Erica Broadhurst: Such a fun experience. Went for my birthday and even with a party of 2 we had a great time. I'd definitely recommend that you enjoy the company of the person you're going with and that you have a toilet break before you go in.A little pricey but worth it for the fun. The game master was lovely and supportive as it was our first room. She made the story very fun and was very helpful when we were stuck. Definitely recommend and I will be going back soon to have a cracking at the spookier rooms.

Ell Ward: Did the witchcraft escape room as a couple. I would only recommend this room if you had more than two in your party. The puzzles were more of finding random things around the room than actual linked clues. I wish the clues were better put together.

janet haslam: Had a fab time here on my daughter's Hen party. It was my first time in an escape room. Staff were really helpful. I enjoyed the whole experience. Fab time and will be going back with colleagues.

Amanda Pink: We took our daughter for her 11th birthday along with 4 of her friends ranging from ages 9 to 11. We had a fantastic experience and found that we all were able to participate in the tasks and clues. The 2 lovely ladies that were looking after the reception area were so helpful and kind and interacted with the kids on arrival. They explained what we had to do and gave hints along the way when needed. The price for 6 of us was excellent value for money. Overall a fab day out that we all enjoyed and something different for us all to experience. Thank you so much to the team there, we will definitely be back very soon to try out a different room! X

Craig Watson: Had a complication with a booking because we were unable to attend due to getting COVID, was settled really quickly and refunded. Can't wait to check this place out when we are all clear!

Lova Chechik: Great escape room, we really enjoyed ourselves! The guide was very professional and helpful

Claudia von Bastian: We had a fantastic time at Crack the Code for a team outing (adults ranging in age from twenties to forties)! We did Apartment 9 and had a lot of fun and really enjoyed the well thought-out puzzles. The challenge level was just perfect for us. The clues were excellent and really helped to get out of some dead ends that we managed to get caught up in. We didn't make it out in time (SO close!), but we still felt very happy and satisfied, and thoroughly enjoyed it! Can only recommend!

Drew M: As someone who's done 50+ escape rooms, we often struggle with finding rooms that are either too easy, too needlessly complex or too cliche so it was nice to find some good puzzles that were fairly fresh. We'll go again

Michelle Leedham: Brilliant. Went with family, just 3 of us. Did the Hugh Dunnitt mystery and I think we expected it to be easier than it was. We were all glad it wasn't so easy. We all enjoyed it and will definitely go back. Thanks Eve

Steve Davis: First time in an escape room & Loved it. Great Host Made it even better. 👍

Stephen Booth: Absolutely loved it,highly recommended.

Deborah Booth: My hubby bought this experience for my birthday. A great choice 😁Absolutely brilliant, we did the Hugh Dunnit experience and solved it. The murderer was..... .not one of us. The guys working there are fab, very welcoming and friendly,funny and informative. The set up is well laid out and the game really makes you think. We'll definitely be going again.

Peter Ryan: I did an escapee room (Hugh Dunnit) with my wife for her birthday. It was awesome, neither of us had done one before, and it was a lovey balance of challenging without being annoying, and fun and funny. Jonathan the host was also a really nice chap. Strongly recommend!

Helen Wilkinson: Took my 14 year old daughter and her friends to do the murder mystery room and they loved it! The staff were really friendly and even though the girls were a bit nervous to begin with they put them at ease and they all came out loving it. I felt completely at ease leaving them there to puzzle it out. Thank you to everyone for making her birthday one to remember.

Gertjan Koolen: This was our first escape room, but Hugh Dunnit was great to play and much fun! We had a good time.

Rob Needham: We took 12 kids for my daughter 12th birthday and they all absolutely loved it. The youngest children were 9 years old and thoroughly enjoy the experience. Joe and Eve were excellent with all the children and help them both be able to complete the challenges (we had 2 rooms). Fantastic experience, highly recommend.

chloe sayers: Really good experience and the staff are amazing (especially the little corgi) would definitely come again! Could tell he put a lot of effort into his rooms and really cared about the experience :)

Simon Marshall: so well thought out, really kind host, dynamic and engaging room and great value for money!

Kayleigh Thomas: We did the nuclear meltdown room and it was great!There was lots of great clues to figure out, and the quality of the room and the things in it was top notch. A great, well looked after, escape room with fantastic attention to detail. 💯Also, Hovis, the Customer Services Representative, made sure we were well looked after throughout.Thanks! 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Natalie: Loved it! Great nuclear meltdown game - challenging and creative. Looking forward to doing the others!

Amala Anyika: Had a great time in the Meltdown escape room. There were lots of different types of puzzles/experiments to solve, which I hadn't seen before. Difficult, but in a good way. And we actually managed to escaped 😅

Nic R: Loved it! Had an amazing time. The puzzle was just the right amount of challenging and there were some really interesting elements I hadn’t seen before. Would recommend!

Claire Barlow: We tried the mutiny escape room and had a great time! It was challenging but not entirely impossible! We loved the clues and all the props. Highly recommend

Christian Briddon: My daughter and I did the Nuclear Meltdown room and really enjoyed it. The way simple science experiments are integrated into the narrative is brilliant. Staff were also really friendly. Recommended.

D B: Excellent escape room! The theme and puzzles of the 'Meltdown' room were really fun, thought-out, and creative - had us digging out our GCSE science! 10/10 would play again. Liam was v friendly and helpful. Hovis was a bonus 🐶.

Yean Chooi: Best escape room experience I've ever had! The mastermind behind the room we tackled, Liam, clearly loves his job and it shows in the detail he packs into all the puzzles. Every bit of it was imagined, designed and made by him so having him on the other end of the walkie-talkies was perfect- he only dropped just enough of a clue to unstick us without giving away the entire solution. Definitely worth a visit

Adam Bravery: The Lockup is a good venue with a passionate owner (Liam) and very reasonable prices. We played Mutiny which was unique and had some good ideas. I think the concept was excellent but it's execution could have been better - but I've played a lot of escape rooms and can be quite critical. I think new players would have fun at this venue, perhaps in one of their easier games as Mutiny was quite tricky. Liam clearly puts a lot of effort into his games and was very friendly too - thanks for having us.

James Taylor: We did the Mutiny escape room and everyone agreed it was excellent. The owner was extremely welcoming and clearly very passionate about the experience which showed with the creative room layout. I'm definitely planning on visiting again shortly to do one of the other rooms!

Ingrid Jolley: Fantastic experience for very excited 13 year olds. The chap that runs the place is absolutely lovely. Much fun was had by all!

Emma Macedo: My friend and I played Meltdown here in October 2021. A room that was not to difficult for a team of 2 with a few really unique puzzles I've not seen in other games before and I've played a few now. Yes, there are science experiments involved but don't let this put you off if you're not too into science! We completed the game in 54 minutes and spent ages chatting to the friendly host/owner after our game (including stroking the most adorable Corgi who also resides here!)

Carolyne Pike: We did deep space brig this afternoon and it was excellent. The room itself was brilliantly set out with some unique and innovative puzzles. The owner was there to welcome us and it was really evident, both in the room and chatting afterwards, that there is a real passion and enthusiasm for these escape rooms. Proper hidden gem if Sheffield and cannot rate highly enough. Looking forward to our next trip to try some of the other rooms. Big double thumbs up from Team Squad.

Joe: TLDR: Lockup Escape Rooms is a hidden gem in Sheffield, highly highly recommend their 'mutiny' room, staff were passionate, friendly and incredibly helpful, pricing extremely reasonable (even for a student).Went yesterday with a few friends and did Mutiny, the pirate themed room. Was by far the best escape room I have ever done, completely in a class of it's own compared to the others I have experienced both in Sheffield and abroad.Whilst most escape rooms throw a wall of random information at you and demand you organise the pieces in order to escape, Mutiny layered it's puzzles in such a way that each was distinguishable and uniquely rewarding (i.e. you don't have to worry about a puzzle you can see in on the far side of the room when you are concerned with being handcuffed to the wall), and it was always clear in which direction you had to move next.The puzzle designs themselves were ingenious, each time we met a new challenge and realised what it wanted we said "damn, that is so cool". This only got better as we progressed through the room.Our game master (I already forgot his name, whoops!) was also the best I have had. Super friendly and REALLY knew his stuff. He designed the entire room himself, and so could adapt every little piece of information he gave you about the room to fit your capabilities. This also meant his clues were perfect, never spoiling anything, merely guiding us back in the right direction if we strayed too far away from what we were supposed to be doing. He was super passionate about the room and it was a joy to discuss the puzzles with him after.Overall the only criticisms I could give were extremely minor design points for the room, which I only have because I enjoyed the room so much I would love to see what more it could be capable of.Will definitely be returning to The Lockup, and can highly recommend it for others. Whilst not the most well known in Sheffield at the moment, I suspect this will drastically change as more and more people experience the rooms it has to offer.

Alan S: Went with a group comprised mostly of people who hadn't done escape rooms before. Liam was very accommodating and the room itself was fun & challenging (meltdown).

Ben Hurt: Great experience, friendly owners and a cute Corgie called Hovis what more could you ask for.

Heather Goodall: Liam and Hovis were very welcoming, we did Meltdown and really enjoyed it, really good puzzles, would definitely recommend!

Elle Hill: Fantastic fun! Great host, will be back

Sabrina Laycock: Called the day before the experience I’d planned for my husbands 40th birthday to say software has failed. Asked for refund but still not received. This was 22/09/22. I’ve emailed twice and no response.

Karl Taylor: Booked here early august but as we were travelling there we got a message to say their system had crashed and we couldn’t play, was told we would get a refund and a voucher for the inconvenience, unfortunately I have received neither

charlotte Malin: Lovely chaps but very disappointed. Smelt, seemed shabby over priced for what it is, can do at home with VR set for free. Wouldn’t recommend.
