Set within Jedburgh Jail this room has been themed around the story of Malcolm Munro who was imprisoned and hanged at the Jail. The puzzles fit into Malcolms life and theres even additional information if you want to learn more about him.

Good mix of puzzles, of which we overthought a few, but they're all signposted and fair. The story concludes nicely too. 

The Jail is closed for the winter but the Escape room is still available to book on weekends. We'll worth a visit if you're in the area.
