Happy to see a new venue in the city, played 2 games so far and thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks to Amelie for awesome hosting.
Half decent room
Meh. We luckily went on an offer so it was cheap. Just very basic and straightforward.
Reviews by escape room review sites
Many Sherlock-themed escape games need an excuse for why the great man himself isn't present - perhaps he's been kidnapped, or has died, or is simply too busy with more important cases. Escape's version takes a novel approach: here you are in fact the bad guys, sent by Moriarty to infiltrate Sherlock's apartment and steal a particular one of his possessions.
Although the Escape venues tend not to invest too heavily in the room decorations, 221B Baker Street looks more impressive than their norm...
