It sounds scary, like that movie "SAW"!


The number one question we get?  Is it scary?  Usually followed by, "It sounds like that movie SAW."   Similar to that movie, you do have to find clues and figure out how to escape.  But that's about where the similarities end.

The simple answer is NO, it's not really "scary".  There are several Escape Rooms around the world that focus on a scary theme.  But our current San Luis Obispo County escape room is not a horror theme!  And this is NOT a haunted house type attraction.  While we do have future plans for Central Coast escape rooms with a scary theme, the current room is not scary.  

"Will I be scared?"   We find that people are generally a little nervous to start out.   That's mostly just fear of the unknown.   There are a few elements of the escape room that may take you out of your comfort zone.   But overall, our guests find the room to be more of a fun, mysterious challenge.   There are no monsters that will jump out at you.   At least not in this version of The Locked Inn (stay tuned for future rooms that will have different themes).

Escape The Room for Your Next Special Occasion!

This really is a fun and unique experience in San Luis Obispo County.   That makes it the perfect destination for your special occasion.   Is it your birthday, anniversary, girls, or guys night out... or perhaps a bachelorette party?


The Locked Inn Live Escape Room Experience is a great way to celebrate.  Let us know when you are booking what the special occasion is, so we are sure to congratulate you!  We love our guests, and we strive to make sure that everyone has the best time.  Do something different, bring your celebrate your special day with us!

Is it Easy to Escape this Grover Beach Escape Room?

The simple answer…NO!   In fact, most teams will not escape the first time.   It's designed that way!  If it was too easy, everyone would escape, fast.   And we want you to really enjoy the room, play the puzzles, find clues, and really get absorbed into the fantasy world of Escape Rooms.


The team above was our FIRST (and only at the time of this blog) group to escape in under 60 minutes, with no additional clues.  It was a very exciting game, they exited just 7 seconds before the final buzzer.  What does it take to escape the room?  Teamwork, and communication.  

We love the competitive spirit of our guests.   But really, this is not all about competition.  We want groups to try this SLO escape room, and we truly want guests to just enjoy the thrill of trying to escape.  So even though most groups will not escape on the first visit, every guest we've had absolutely loves the escape room experience.

Whether you are a San Luis Obispo area local, or just visiting…come check it out!

Join us at www.TheLockedInn.com.  Reservations can be made in real time, on-line.
