Averting A Christmas Eve Disaster!<\/h2>\n

Our friend,\u00a0Savio,\u00a0<\/span>told us that Santa had just loaded all the presents on his sleigh ready to deliver to all the boys and girls around the world, when he discovered a problem. Santa\u2019s sleigh was stuck!\u00a0<\/strong>If he didn\u2019t release it soon Christmas will be a disaster and no gifts would be delivered.<\/p>\n

So this Christmas Eve we leapt into action and headed to Hornchurch. (Yes, I know that’s not the north pole, but that’s where the portal to the barn was located.) Braving the traffic and the last minute Christmas shoppers we arrived at\u00a0ROOM LOCKDOWN<\/a> where we were met by Games Master Ben.<\/p>\n

He explained our team’s mission. We were to enter the barn and find a way to release Santa\u2019s sleigh. And we only had an hour to complete the mission.<\/p>\n

First we were shown into a Christmas themed room. A large decorated tree stood in the corner of the room. Tinsel and decorations were all around.<\/p>\n

So where was the barn?<\/p>\n

Well, to stop anyone realising that this was a portal to Santa, we had to prove ourselves worthy by solving puzzles and revealing the secret door. then we still had to solve puzzles to free the sleigh and send Santa on his way.<\/p>\n

As you probably know by now ( as you open your presents) we succeeded.<\/p>\n

Merry Christmas Everyone!<\/h1>\n
\"Santa's
Santa’s Sleigh is Stuck at Room Lockdown<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Room Lockdown<\/a> run a number of escape rooms. They change the themes on a regular basis, so there is always something new to discover. Games Master Ben tells me they also run seasonal games. This Christmas themed one runs until 6th January 2019 and they run an annual Halloween themed room.<\/p>\n
