Talented and somewhat eccentric musician Charlie Lagami is celebrating a big birthday with family and friends.
You arrive to join in the fun only to find the place deserted, all the guests dispersed and Charlie in quite a state, dead in fact.
Charlie has just managed to leave some clues as to the attacker’s identity. Can you eliminate the innocent, reveal the culprit and get the hell out of there before the detectives arrive? Or will you be caught with blood on your hands?

Who doesn't love an escape room crossed with a murder mystery?! Slightly different from a normal escape room as you are trying to find a murderer and motive, the room was about half puzzles and half just finding things that were hidden in devious places. A lot of fun, original puzzles but the room lacked a little bit of the flow the other rooms we played here had. Certain things we were able to find but not use until an arbitrary point in the game, which led us a bit astray.
Loved this. A well conceived room with humorous flourishes and a great host. 7 of us made it manageable, but could have been more of a challenge with 2 or 3. Will definitely be back for some of the other rooms.
A massive space makes this a perfect game for larger teams of either enthusiasts or families. Some very clever puzzles and a great way to play out a classic who-dunnit.
Probably the most family-friendly venue near us (possibly in the country) is Oakham’s One Way Out. With 70 minute games (and generosity with over-runs),
From the character filled intro, the puzzles, decor and the cake, Framed! is a truly wonderful game and one that will challenge the maximum number of players due to the sheer amount there is to do. It’s a joy to play and really makes you work hard to escape. One Way Out is a little gem of an escape room and one that I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone. We can’t wait to return and try out their other offerings.
