This was, by far, the best escape room experience I’ve ever had. However, I wouldn’t recommend it to people who haven’t seen the Sherlock series. I believe most negative reviews will likely stem from those who didn’t comprehend the theme or found the game too challenging.
This has so many surprises and is really great fun. We did it as 4 teams of 5 as a work party. It is fun being able to compete against other teams. We really enjoyed the feedback at the end which was so personalised. The theming is just brilliant both before and after!
A disappointment considering this is the same team who did the incredible Time Run original escape rooms. As you play, another group is playing in the previous room you were in, and you can hear them and the videos of that room very clearly, to the detriment of the immersiveness of the room. The Time Run original escape rooms had the same system but it was managed much better. Some of the puzzles felt disconnected and in general they weren't that clever. A group of 6 is way too much for this room - I think it would have worked much better with a group of 3. There are better escape rooms out there!

In the early years, as escape rooms spread throughout the U.K., one London venue quickly gained an international reputation for production values that were streets ahead of anywhere else, as well as a variety of then unheard of innovations such as a briefing performed in costume and in character. That venue was of course Time Run, who eventually closed due to the loss of their lease, but returned in a new location having scored the massive coup of an official licence for a Sherlock game - not Co...
In our briefing we were told we’d travel around London very fast. They weren’t wrong! What starts as a very unassuming opticians shop quickly becomes an exciting briefing at 221B Baker Street (the iconic residence of Sherlock Holmes). We then rushed off to a series of fantastic locations from the TV series such as St. Barts Hospital, Mycroft’s office, and a brilliant (if a little creepy!) museum of medical instruments.
