Summary

  • Recommend 3-4 escape artists
  • Good for Sherlock Holmes fans
  • Puzzles were creative and clever
  • Put your physics and math cap on
  • Good for seasoned escape artists

As a lover of Sherlock Holmes stories and the BBC TV show, the escape room was beautiful decorated and detailed. My father loved this escape room as math and physics were used for some puzzles. I appreciated how they carefully detailed the escape room with the story. Each puzzle and hint made sense. The game master also showed us how he uses statistics to track the progress of escape artists.

Overall, it was a brilliant, smart and creative escape room!
