Types of locks in an Escape Room - Legacy Escape Box

[@LegacyEscapeBox]

Types of locks you'll find in an escape room. My favorite is the retina scan lock!!

[@tyniiajones4080]

what boxes do you use?

[@LeMayJoseph]

Uhhhhh, the what? I mean, it’d be pretty cool to do that with a glass eye! I’ve seen a Sherlock Holmes themed room in Winter Garden, FL where they used a rubber thumb and a fingerprint lock!

Great video =) It is very helpful for beginners, a lot of people never saw some types of locker, let alone use them . All the best wishes from Serbia

I’m getting so excited about all the possibilities in my Spanish classroom. I won a grant and now have an escape room kit. Now I’m realizing the kit wasn’t that extensive. I wish I’d watched you first and also realized the kit was overpriced. Maybe I’ll apply for another grant to add some cool extra locks and such. And I realize that my 80s diary with its little padlock and cheap gold key would work for this. But I don’t want my students to read it! LOL. You could do all kinds of things with a locking journal. Getting inspired with your content. I have written a plan after they finish their jungle Spanish novel to free the main character who will be locked in a cage I think. It will combine treasure hunt clues and puzzles and word chunks they must put together. They must have knowledge of the books for a lot of it. Feeling good. Thanks for help!

[@LegacyEscapeBox]

That’s amazing with your grant! And wow you know that 80’s lock is going to rock it!

[@LeMayJoseph]

That sounds incredible! What a great way to test the students’ Spanish, so engaging!

Excellent video!

[@baylag6303]

this channel is so awesome!

[@LegacyEscapeBox]

Wow, thanks!

[@LegacyEscapeBox]

Is it good that we have like another 10,000 locks in the back?

[@heatherc7009]

I've just purchased a lock like your second one (the copper coloured word lock). On mine its not clear at what rotation to input the code... Where does yours take the code?

[@LegacyEscapeBox]

I think maybe that one is on the bottom? I'll have to recheck :) Try to keep the correct word combo the same and spin all the letters to see if it's on front or bottom...

[@LeMayJoseph]

I’ve thought about using one of the clear acrylic locks, hiding a torsion wrench and a lockpick elsewhere, and having something else start a short lockpicking tutorial video on a loop. BE A REAL LOCKPICKER TO ESCAPE!

[@LegacyEscapeBox]

Love that, sounds like a lot of fun!!

[@LeMayJoseph]

Yeah, I think it’s a fair puzzle for a complete novice because it’s transparent, so you can see what you’re doing. I’d never do it with an actual metal lock.

[@KhaosWolf94]

My covert companion would blow through these locks in no time.

[@maj61601]

I am disappointed in the Boom Count in this video. Rookie numbers. Let’s get those up in the next one, BOOM! (Great video thank you!)

[@LegacyEscapeBox]

For sure gonna work on that! 💥

[@lisabell4149]

Can you do a follow up video with the boxes you can use still?? 😅

[@LegacyEscapeBox]

Not a bad idea! - Bryan

[@nenadpavlovic8405]

Hate the cryptex - not mechanically, but immersion wise, a lot of rooms use one, and it is usually out of place, and completely unnecessary .

[@LeMayJoseph]

They’re cool if it’s like a DaVinci theme or something.

[@markotb]

Would one be allowed to bring lockpicks and shims into an escape room. Smash through all those locks in seconds :)

[@LegacyEscapeBox]

New world record!!

[@markotb]

@@LegacyEscapeBox legit question though. Ive never done an escape room, but I can pick and decode a lock, would this be considered cheating?

[@LegacyEscapeBox]

@@markotb Good question! Should only be able to use what is in the room. Cannot usually bring your own equipment, although would be a fun concept to be a “lock breaker!”

[@markotb]

@@LegacyEscapeBox thanks, I thought so. And Id prefer the challenge without cheating. Love your videos, I only found you this week.

[@mahrcheen]

That would be like a party in game where one of the characters has a skill in lockpicking. Character have it whole time, nobody knows when something gonna need unlocking :P Same principle as with being tall to grab items from above or being smart and see patterns quickly. I'd allow only handy rogue manual picks, not automatic tho.
