Trip Planner is a powerful tool that arranges the optimal itinerary for your trip, calculating game and access times. However, we know that especially when traveling abroad, not all escape rooms you want to visit are in our database. Nothing lost! You can manually add any room you want so that the algorithm will include it in your schedule on par with the rooms available on Lockme. In this article you will learn how to add an escape room available on Lockme to your schedule.
If you want to create a new itinerary first, go back to the post “What is the Trip Planner?”, where you’ll find step-by-step instructions for creating an itinerary.
Step 1: Selecting the event type
Once you’re in the second stage of planning:
Locate the “Add New Event” section
Click the “Room (Other)” tile (marked with an open padlock icon)
Step 2: Fill out the room form
After clicking, the “New Visit to a Custom Escape Room” form will appear on the screen. You must define the game parameters in it, based on which the system will create the plan.
Room Name: Enter the room name to easily identify it in the schedule
Game Duration in Minutes: Enter the estimated duration of the game (e.g., 60, 75, or 90 minutes). This is a critical field for the scheduler to correctly calculate the time frame
Location: Use the address search or pinpoint an exact location on the map. Providing the correct address is essential—the algorithm relies on this to calculate travel time to the next stop on the tour
Step 3: Adding Available Times
To help the planner create the best route, you need to specify exactly when you can play in this room:
Below the map, you’ll find a list of days that cover your trip
Enter the time when the room is available for booking (e.g., 2:00 PM)
Click “+” to add a slot to the calendar. The algorithm will analyze them all and select the one that best fits the rest of your schedule
Step 4: Additional Details and Priority
At the very bottom of the form, you’ll find options to help you finalize your trip:
Price & Phone number: You must book rooms outside of Lockme yourself on their respective websites. These fields are optional, but allow you to record the cost of the game (in your chosen currency) and contact information for the staff in your planner, which can be extremely useful while traveling.
Priority (Priority Slider): Use the slider on a scale from 1 to 10 to indicate how much you want this specific room. If the schedules of different rooms start to conflict, the algorithm will plan the route to book the highest-priority rooms first. (If you’re unsure, leave the default value of 5/10.)
Step 5: Saving and Editing
After filling out the form, click the green Save button. The room will appear on your events list. To the right of the created entry, you’ll find a pencil icon (to edit the entered details, for example, if someone snatches a date right out from under you and you need to enter different times) and a trash can icon (to completely remove the room from the schedule).
