Escape Room Props: Keys, Locks & Codes

About this quiz

What you’ll learn from escape-room props

From key types to lock hardware and code formats, this quiz focuses on the real-world logic behind common escape room props.

Each question is multiple-choice with 4 options and no timer, so you can think through mechanisms and clue wording without rushing.

Difficulty and question settings

Difficulty is mixed on purpose: straightforward identification questions sit alongside deeper items about lock behavior, code conventions, and puzzle flow.

Choose your preferred question count and difficulty before you start to tailor the run—short for warm-ups, longer for full practice sets.

Common pitfalls to avoid

A lot of wrong answers come from assuming every lock works the same or overlooking how a clue is meant to narrow the code format.

Confusing key types (warded vs dimple vs tubular) and what they typically open
Mixing up lock categories (padlock, cam lock, hasp, deadbolt) and their use cases
Forgetting to check code constraints like length, base (decimal/hex), or ordering rules
Overreading “theme” clues and missing the mechanical clue right in the prop
Assuming a combination lock always uses 0–9 when letters or symbols are possible
