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.

Becker Beware
For my birthday, I wanted to do 2 escape rooms back-to-back; luckily, my friends obliged. The experience pretty much started at the door, with a sinister introduction that instantly set the tone!
Story
Investigate the questionable Dr Becker’s study: his invitation for you to visit may not be as well-meaning as it seems.
Puzzles
We tackled a mixture of physical locks and mechanical-based obstacles. The puzzles themselves were engrossing and in good supply.
Mise-en-scene
Perturbing is the word! Among the curious artifacts in the dated, dimly-lit study and beyond, there were surprises to keep you on your guard. There wasn’t a timer to keep track of how long you’ve got left, which I would have liked.
Final Comments
A surprisingly large maximum number of 8 people can do this room: there was enough for 6 of us to cooperate on, but I think any more players would have been too many. We escaped with around 7 minutes left on the clock.

The best at Emergency Exit IMO, one of the creepiest rooms we’ve done and good puzzles. The finale was particularly stressful/scary!
Reviews by escape room review sites
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!
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.
