🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

• The owners put a lot of thought into the set design especially being on an island country like Cyprus where it's quite difficult to get props. The room actually has squeaky wooden floors, netted ceilings, treasure chests, real sand, etc...

• We enjoyed the change of scenery from being on the ship to off the ship. It was nice to be able to "travel" within an adventure-themed game as if you're really searching for that treasure.

• The room is quite logical and very clear to the point in terms of puzzles as it's intended for beginners and families.
  

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

• As enthusiasts, you might be confused by some of the "clues" that are in the room that are intended for beginners and kids since this room is designed more geared towards those types of players. Perhaps the GM can be more active in informing the experienced players to ignore or bypass those " helpful clues" when the time comes as they're not really needed in order to solve certain puzzles.

• As a pirate-themed game, we felt that some of the 4-digit locks could be replaced with old-looking treasure locks to stick with the theme.

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

This Lockdown Paphos location is in inside the all-inclusive Leonardo Laura Beach Hotel and Splash Resort in Chloraka, Cyprus. Being that it's located in the hotel, there are a lot of first-timers and families. This game is designed not to be so difficult but more for fun. Many groups try this game first and come back for the second one ("The Super Lab" ) the next day. If you're in the area for vacation and want to give an escape room a try (especially if you have kids), definitely sign up for this treasure-hunting journey!

Lockdown Paphos' other location (their original) is in Kato Paphos, Cyprus. They currently have (3) games available there - "Wizard School", "Space Station", and "Tomb of the Kings" . The area has a mall and lots of restaurants. So once you think you're ready for more challenging rooms, definitely check out these as well.
