Meh. We luckily went on an offer so it was cheap. Just very basic and straightforward.

Reviews by escape room review sites

Many Sherlock-themed escape games need an excuse for why the great man himself isn't present - perhaps he's been kidnapped, or has died, or is simply too busy with more important cases. Escape's version takes a novel approach: here you are in fact the bad guys, sent by Moriarty to infiltrate Sherlock's apartment and steal a particular one of his possessions.

Although the Escape venues tend not to invest too heavily in the room decorations, 221B Baker Street looks more impressive than their norm...

Theming and Set: Lovely, until the weird timey-wimey wobble at the end. Searching: Not really enough to keep the teens occupied while solving one riddle at a time.
