A really nice twist on the Sherlock genre - this time you play on Moriarty's side. The ending puzzle was especially original, even though the rest of the game was fairly linear and, of course, decorated like Sherlock's lounge so not going to be the most exciting from that point of view.

Meg was a great GM (she hosted us twice that day), though we didn't need any clues for this, finishing in about 30 minutes (not noted on the photo so I am not totally sure).

A great solid room, plus Escape Rooms Cardiff will give you a 25% discount if you book an additional game after finishing another one (so good value).

We played the original version of this room and loved it so had to come back from the second. Great room, very immersive, lots of interesting puzzles we hadn't experienced before. Got out fairly quick but really enjoyed the experience.

Reviews by escape room review sites

Finding Sherlock 2 has successfully breathed new life into one of its oldest rooms (and therefore one of the oldest rooms in Wales). This new incarnation has dramatically overhauled its puzzles with great success, creating wonderful Moments and challenges in the process.

I think people who played the original Finding Sherlock game will get a kick out of seeing how the game surprises them. Finding Sherlock was one of my favourite escape rooms to play in Cardiff. Finding Sherlock 2 is even better!
