Many years ago an ancient statue of the Egyptian cat goddess Bastet was stolen from the private collection of Lord Barrington Smyth.
This statue was not only said to be one of his favourite pieces, but was also believed to have great powers, bestowing great fortune upon its owner.
There had been no information regarding the location of the lost statue, until recently Lord Barrington heard rumours that a statue matching Bastet's description is now in the possession of a local Mystic, who lives deep in the National forest.
Lord Barrington needs you to enter the Mystic's Cabin to locate and retrieve the statue, and so return it to its rightful owner!
Do you dare to enter the Mystic's secret domain?

A good room with a variety of puzzles and solves. Our poor searching lead to a slower than desired time but it was still great!

We played this as physical rooms were reopening post pandemic. This is a mystery-driven room with a lot of nice moments. 

We’ve frequently been recommending it friends and family who wanted an escape room experience in Brum because this is such a solid room. It’s perfect if you want a challenging and satisfying mystery story with exciting puzzles. 

Not fully beginner-friendly due to the level of difficulty, but this is suitable for people with at least ~10 rooms under their belt.
