🎄✨ **CHRISTMAS IS COMING TO KEYLOCK GAMES!** ✨🎄

We’ve been busy behind the scenes creating **TWO brand-new Christmas experiences** for this Christmas… and we can finally reveal them! 🎅🎁

🎤🎄 **MERRY QUIZMAS!** 🎄🎤
Get the family together and step into our Christmas family gameshow!

Take on a mix of Christmas-themed challenges, earn as many points as you can and see if your team can score enough to **WIN PRIZES!** 🏆🎁

Expect plenty of laughs, family competition and Christmas chaos — perfect for families looking for something a little different to do this Christmas!

🎅🔎 **SANTA’S LOST IT!** 🔎🎅
Oh dear… Santa has completely lost it!

Some of his **magical Christmas items have gone missing**, and without them Christmas could be in serious trouble! 🎄😱

Your family will need to work together, solve the challenges and **race against the clock** to track down Santa’s missing magical items before time runs out.

Can you save Christmas? 🎅⏰✨

Both games have been **created especially by us**, so we can’t wait to finally let you loose on what we’ve been working on!

📅 We’re aiming to open our Christmas games from around **the 10th of November**.

🚨 **BOOKINGS ARE NOT OPEN JUST YET!** 🚨
We’ll make another announcement **next week** letting you know when Christmas bookings officially go live, giving you the chance to get in early.

Our Christmas games have **sold out very early for the last two years**, so if you already know you’d like to visit us this Christmas, we strongly recommend booking well ahead once dates are released! 🎟️🎄

Two new games. Two very different Christmas adventures.

🎤 **Will you score high enough to win a prize?**
🎅 **Or will you help Santa find what he’s lost?**

Maybe you’ll take on both… 👀🎄

**Christmas at Keylock Games is nearly here!** 🎅🔐✨

🏆 FOUR YEARS IN A ROW! 🏆

We’re unbelievably proud to announce that Keylock Games has once again received the Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Award 2026! 🎉

That means we’ve now been recognised in the TOP 10% of attractions worldwide for FOUR YEARS RUNNING. 🌍🔐

As a small family-run escape room in Wickford, this honestly means everything to us.

Every booking, every review, every recommendation, every team photo, every scream from The Ward, every laugh in Nobody Loves Robot, and every returning customer has helped make this possible ❤️

To everyone who has supported us over the last four years — thank you.
You’ve helped turn a little local escape room into something truly special.

We’ve got plenty more surprises, puzzles, and adventures still to come 👀🗝️

Thank you for being part of the journey.
