The experience

About this quest

From the mind of Deadlock Escape, comes a fun and chilling new outdoor adventure!  

This Family friendly game is a little backstory on the evil Dr Krenshaw that has been haunting the walls of Deadlock ever since the opening!  

I hope this game will be enjoyed by many and gives you the same amount of fun solving it as I had making it!   

Is this for you?

Who it's for

Deadlock Escape regulars who want the backstory of the evil Dr Krenshaw, local escape-room players after an outdoor version, and families with older children will get around 80 minutes of medium-difficulty puzzles on a 1.1 km walk past Remai Modern, River Landing and the Meewasin Valley Trail. Pick something else if limited mobility makes varied terrain and slopes hard, or if your children are too young for a chilling villain.
