Original escaperoom where the story is really matters. You can easily do the room with just 2 persons if you already have some experience. Very nice host.
What a fantastic traditional murder mystery! Loved this game, listen closely to your host when he explains how to approach the game and you will have a blast! No spoilers from me - it's a must play, absolutely brillliant fun, immersion and amazing interations.
I have played over 200 games, and I can honestly say that this was an experience like no other I've ever had. Although there are a lot of murder mystery games out there, this is the first one where I felt like we were actually solving a case. Extremely imaginative, and an amazing use of a small, rather unprepossessing space. Requires a lot of focus and attention, but I liked that. The denouement is wonderful--really a lot of fun. The GM was excellent, totally leaned into the theme. Not for everyone, but I'm sure that for murder mystery buffs this will be a favorite game.
Really nice theme of game, again something refreshingly different, and not your standard murder mystery etc.
Some quirky puzzles in this, that really added to the immersion.
I would recommend leaving some time between if you intend on playing Radio Nowhere at the same time, as there is a lot of thinking, and I really should not have turned down the offer of a coffee in between!
Absolutely brilliant and original game! Played some time ago now and still recall it as fantastic! The host was brilliant too!
Reviews by escape room review sites
If I could say one thing about Case Closed and The Murder of Max Sinclair, it’s that this isn’t your usual escape room. But it also isn’t your usual detective investigation either. Whatever it is, it’s 90 minutes of pure fun.
Case Closed is without a doubt my new favourite room in Edinburgh. No- favourite in Scotland. And for that matter, a strong contender for my favourite in the UK. If I don’t see Case Closed listed on the 2023 TERPECA nominations for the UK, I’ll be very surprised indeed.
