Locked in Edinburgh

Edinburgh, United Kingdom•5(427)•Escape Room

Solve puzzles and uncover secrets in Edinburgh's only escape rooms set in real historic spaces at Summerhall, the city's former Vet School.

Locked In Edinburgh offers immersive escape room experiences set within the atmospheric real rooms of Summerhall, Edinburgh's historic former Vet School. Rather than purpose-built sets, players explore authentic spaces including an old laboratory, dissection room, anatomy theatre, and small animal hospital, creating a genuinely atmospheric setting steeped in history and culture. The venue features four themed games: The Cutting Room, The Distillery, The Secret Lab, and The Space Academy. Each 60-minute experience challenges teams to search for clues, solve problems, and work together to escape. Games range from uncovering the building's historical secrets to modern mysteries like identifying who is plotting against Pickering's Gin distillery. Locked In Edinburgh is officially voted the #1 escape game venue in the UK and #13 in the world as of 2018. The venue is dog friendly, making it welcoming for families with pets, and welcomes visitors aged 12 and above. Booking is required for all games.

One of the best escape rooms I’ve visited so far! We booked the Space Academy for my family’s visit, and we had an absolute blast. Our host was fantastic, and the whole experience was literally out of this world. We were a group of four, which felt like the perfect size. Our guests enjoyed the experience so much that we’ll all be back next summer to discover another room. I’m already very much looking forward to it!

We went for The Cutting Room and it was such a fun and exciting experience. Our game master was also very helpful it setting up the energy when introducing the challenge to us. Highly recommended!

Me and 2 of my friends did the cutting room at locked in and the room was fun, challenging and immersive! We had fun solving the puzzles and the theming was awesome!! Unfortunately our experience was let down by our host and we initially walked away both uncomfortable and unhappy. However we contacted them shortly afterwards with a complaint and were given an apology and refund swiftly with good customer service.
