Escape Rooms Near Truro — Worth Every One of the 20 Minutes

Straight answer first, because you searched for Truro and we believe in honest advertising: we’re not in Truro. Locked In Cornwall is in Camborne — a 20-minute run from the city down the A390 and A30 — and every week, carloads of people from Truro decide those 20 minutes are the easiest part of the whole puzzle.

Here’s why they keep making the drive.

What’s at the other end

Three escape rooms you can’t play anywhere else, because we designed and built every one of them in-house:

• The Smoke House Curse — atmospheric, mysterious, and properly spooky — 76% escape rate. The one for teams who want goosebumps with their puzzles.
• Puzzle Escape 2.0 — the first-timer’s room. No scares, clever puzzles, 84% escape rate.
• Pasty Escape — Cornish piskies, a stolen pasty recipe, and 60 minutes to save the family legacy. 83% of teams manage it.

We opened in 2016 — the longest-running escape rooms in Cornwall — and we’ve picked up TripAdvisor’s Travellers’ Choice award five times (2021, 2023–2026), which puts us in the top 10% of attractions worldwide. Currently 4.9 from 277 TripAdvisor reviews.

The Truro logistics

Take the A390 towards Redruth, join the A30, come off at Camborne West, and we’re two minutes from the junction — about 20 minutes door to door. And unlike a night out in the city: parking is free, right outside, always.

Games run 10am to 10pm, seven days a week, from £20 per person. The classic Truro plan is an early-evening game then dinner back in the city — you’ll arrive at the table with an hour of “how did you SEE that?” to work through. Making a full evening of it? Date night ideas here.
