In October of 2024, on our weekend away to the Gold Coast, we checked out a
total of 7 escape rooms. Our fourth room was Cottage Capers at Lost Locks.
This was our 315th room to date. Here is what I
thought:
- the
room very much felt like a generation 1 room. The quality of theming was
pretty poor by current standards;
- the
puzzles were all ok, but not memorable. We did have a few mechanisms
throughout the experience that did not work (some were finnicky and worked
on the third or fourth attempt, others were poorly designed so that we
solved them before we should have solved them);
- my
girls enjoyed the Christmas theme, but that was probably the best part of
the room. The actual execution of the theming, with props and quality of
floor/wall/ceiling dressings, was below average; and
- I
thought this room should have been retired some time ago and was surprised
that the price charged was more than what we paid at other, much better
escape rooms on the Gold Coast. Prices here are $55 per adult, which I
think is far more than this room deserves to charge. We were out in less
than half the time, with a pretty unsatisfying, anticlimactic ending.
I would give this one a miss. Our family of 4 paid $210 for
less than 30 minutes for an average, generation 1 room. For less money, go and
check out Padlockd or better yet, Eclipse Escape Rooms (which are the cheapest
and best rooms we played on the Gold Coast).
