Quite fun! The staff were pretty friendly and accommodating. I think some of the logics of the puzzles didn't really make sense and followed more of a weird escape room logic, but that seems to be common for many escape rooms

I loved the staff! They were friendly and enthusiastic, and glad we could work with them. Sadly, the puzzle rooms left a lot to be desired, especially at the price point. We've done plenty of escape rooms, and the Xternal Forces puzzle room felt very frustrating and poorly designed: several clues were unsatisfying spelled out literally, while others were unpleasantly obscure and unconnected.

Had a 11 year old birthday party here and the girls loved it! We did sound of murder and it was a little scary for some of the girls but after a few hugs, they were off and running around looking for clues. I don’t think they would have been able to solve the room themselves without using an adult for help but they thoroughly enjoyed themselves and proud that they finished within 30 min. We also used the cake room which was very convenient to have onsite for food and cake. Since we finished early, we had a bit more time in the cake room which worked out well. Would definitely recommend!

We celebrated my daughter’s 11th birthday at Beat The Lock Escape Room, and it was an amazing experience! The space was perfect for a group of teenagers (ages 10-15), offering just the right balance of challenge and fun. The puzzles were engaging, and the staff was super helpful in guiding them when needed. The kids had a blast working together to solve the room, and it was a unique and exciting way to celebrate. Highly recommend for a birthday party or group event!

The 10am game for my daughter’s 10th birthday party was perfect. The group was split into two groups and they had to work together to solve the puzzle. They finished a few minutes to spare. We booked the cake room right next to it. I was able to go in while the kids were in the room to set up and decorate since there was no other party before us. The cake room was a smaller room portioned off from a bigger room. You have to clean up after. We brought cup cakes, and picked up pizza at Round Table down the street. It was the perfect party. Easy, and fun for the kids. Would recommend it.
