You are invited to spend an hour with the famous Dr. Becker at Boleskine Lodge Practice.
He is currently with another patient and will be with you shortly. In the meantime make yourself at home and enjoy his hospitality and his study - a beautiful place decorated with his bizarre collection of strange and wonderful things.
But do not dig too deeply as things are not always as they seem in this place, after all it is well known that some of his previous guests are still there after volunteering to help with his studies.
Dr. Becker has a past which is questionable at best and not everyone agrees with his methods.

The second room we did here again not a theme we normally would do but it was very well presented and the room certainly delivered a creepy/scary atmosphere which is exactly what they are going for. If you like the horror themed rooms you will like this one I think.
Having played their online exorcism game during lock down and really enjoyed it we were excited to try their newer game in person. The atmosphere in the first section was good with a nice set, definitely creepy although not overly scary. Would have benefited from an in character opening by the game master or the use of a live actor to add some depth to the tension. Interesting premise but the story never really developed beyond that and the scare factor never elevated to the level of a true horror game. Still definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.
The year 2022 started with the eagerly awaited news, that the award winning company „Emergency Exit Escape Games“ came up with a new chapter: „The Studies of Dr Becker“ is their third online available Escape Game after „Exorcist“ and „The Beast“. And with them both still being No. 1 and No. 4 on our Top-List (since 20 month and after many more games played) …the expectations were high! And we weren’t disappointed!
The Studies of Dr. Becker was a fantastic game overall which had so many high points from the interactions of Charlie and Liam to the high-quality videos that integrated seamless into the story. The characters of Charlie and Liam also played off each other and us which brought some humor and fun as an added bonus. This game reminds me a lot of Simon Pegg’s “Shawn of the Dead” movie with the style of horror and dark humor. This game is offered in person at their location, which you should play if you ever get the chance. Otherwise, this is a great game to play as an online experience (plus you might only be able to enjoy a "nice view" of Liam through the remote version).
We would really recommend playing The Studies of Dr Becker (and its predecessors if you haven’t yet). We are sure that an in-person visit would be equally fun but we can’t stop raving about the online hosted experience. At £20pp (for a four player team), this is a great way to spend your Friday night.
