First room we have done here. Got close to finishing but ran out of time. The room design is great, brilliantly themed. Host was great. The clues and puzzles were unlike any we had come across before and it is all riddle based, which is why we struggled, we over complicated things due to the other rooms we have done and other puzzles at other places. If you prefer more word based riddle games then this is a must, if you prefer numbers, or puzzle solving etc, I wouldn't recommend it.

2nd ever room, completed on the same day as my first as we failed the first room. I enjoyed this one immensely and felt I had visited a few locations within one "room"

This was quite a simple room but very linear. The clues all followed a similar format which was not really to our taste but this shouldn't put you off...
Sherlock has solved the crime already but he is challenging you to follow in his footsteps! You start at the crime scene and then move on. The scenery is well done, and you could believe you are on a street corner, there is a good puzzle flow throughout each section leading to the end. This is a fun room and would be good for beginners.
