My daughter celebrated her birthday with friends at Lock and Key Southdale and had an absolute blast! The staff was wonderful- very helpful and nice and provided just the right amount of clues when needed to make it a fun experience for teen girls! Highly recommend. We will be back.

Our group had so much fun doing the Abandoned Carnival Room! We found it challenging, but not so difficult itโs impossible! We will be back to try the rest of the rooms here!

Impossible Mission was a very fun and well crafted room. Theming was great and puzzles were fun. Our game master was very good at only giving us a nudge when needed.

The wife and I are avid escape room/puzzle room nerds. We got to try out one of the rooms here and prove that with our time. The owner took time to talk to us afterwards and we had a very pleasant chat. Super fun, awesome people, liked the whole time, will be back to try the other rooms!

This was a most fabulous experience! I have been to a few escape rooms and this was my favorite! My children and grand children were skeptical, but really got into the experience and loved the creativity, the struggle to โfigure it outโ and the โgentle pushesโ we received. We finish with 20 seconds left!! We talked about it for the rest of the day. Well done!!

We tried to escape the Utopia room. It was beautifully done and so well thought out. We really enjoyed all the aspects the room had to offer. The staff were extremely friendly, and helped to immerse you in the storyline from the very beginning. Lock and Key is a great experience all around.

Very fun, so detailed. Was very, very warm in the rooms. Otherwise, every detail was flawless. Just the perfect amount of clues. We brought 8 people, probably more fun for all with 4. Great experience, would do again !

We had a great time at Lock and Key Escape Rooms! Adam was our game Master and he was super helpful! We didnโt quite make it out - we were soooo close - but he worked us through the last of the puzzles. Great atmosphere, super fun theme! Iโll definitely be back to play more rooms there! Thanks for the fun night Lock and Key Escape!

I had so much fun with my coworkers in the impossible mission room. We work at another escape room and the owner was so kind talking to us and letting us pick his brain after the escape room. We canโt wait to come back and play the haunted carnival room once it opens up.

Update 2/22/23:I recently went to their new location at the Southdale mall. I've done both the Impossible Mission and the Utopia rooms. They were both fantastic. After doing the second room, we couldn't decide which one we liked more because they were both so good. Such great entertainment. Great activity for friends and family. And the staff are great as well! We are looking forward to going back again for the next room.--This was the third escape room I've done and by far the best. There were only a few people in our group that hadn't been to an escape room before, so although they had fun, they didn't know the difference. Those of us that have done them before were super impressed. The host can really make or break the experience and ours was very good; he helped us when we needed it without helping us too much and making it not fun. The room itself had lots of cool electronic type events; without giving anything away, it is the kind of thing where you pull a secret lever and suddenly something else in the room changes. Highly recommend it. The theme of our room was like an Indiana Jones type thing, but I know they have other rooms, so we will definitely be back!

Such a great time and awesome escape rooms! Have played 2 there now and both have very high production quality and challenging puzzles. A little hard to find but if you come into southdale by the smash burger and take the elevator all the way down it is right there.

We did the utopia room. We have done many escape rooms all over the world and Utopia was definitely the most unique room weโve ever done. We signed up just the two of us and most of it was doable until about half way thru I can definitely see where 3 (or more) people is really needed. We didnโt make it out (not surprising because it is a 9/10 difficulty and 3+ people are recommended) but we still had fun. Weโll definitely be back to try the other rooms.

It was a crazy holiday season, but I am so glad we took the opportunity to bring our family to Lock and Key Escape Rooms. Our task? To get our names back on Santaโs nice list!!!! Most of us hadnโt been to an escape room before, but that didnโt prevent us from having a blast trying to figure out each little puzzle. They kept us on task with an entertaining and clue-filled story where we definitely found some new perspective. Thank you Tony and Alex! Weโll be back!

This was my first Escape Room experience and it was a lot of fun. And according to my brother, was one of the better ones he's been to. The back story and storyline made it fun to try and figure out how to get through it all. Would definitely go there again. Thank you Lock and Key Escape Rooms

Our entire group had a great time here! The puzzles ranged in difficulty so that everyone could feel they were a part of solving the room. We were amazed at the intricacy of the different parts, and it was so very well done! The gentleman who was working there seemed as genuinely excited for us to be there as if it was his first day showing someone the puzzle room. He explained things very well ahead of time, and was energetic and authentic. We will definitely be going to some of their other puzzle rooms when they open this summer!
