Permanently Closed - We’ve received an urgent plea for help from the family of world-renowned researcher and archeologist, Professor Robert Mortimer. He’s gone missing and nobody else seems willing to help track him down. Anna Mortimer has given us access to Professor Mortimer’s travel agency on Main Street. She says he spent long hours there, but since COVID hit the agency has been shut down. Still, he would go there every day and potter in his private office. We need you to get into Professor Mortimer’s office and find out what happened!

We loved this venue. Even though it’s classed as a Mystery Room not an escape room, the gameplay is still very similar. The furnishings of the room were great and the story was really interesting. Our only grievance was that one lock was tricky to open! But the best part is that, if you finish early, you can use the extra time to solve additional puzzles in the room. Very well made game 👍🏻

This would be one the best rooms I've done to date. The storyline flowed really well and we love how this venue incorporates side quests after the main game is completed so we can use our full hour. Most of the puzzles in this room weren't like anything I've seen in other escape rooms before which was great. The game and puzzles were linear which made it perfect for two people to complete. The room setup was done really well, we really enjoyed our experience.

228 escape rooms

Urban Mysteries Co offer a travel-themed escape experience with ‘The Missing Professor’, a collection of archaeological props and artefacts amidst moderately challenging puzzles. The room sits a touch easier than ‘Lucidity’, and seemed to approximately be the same difficulty as ‘The Collector’. Our team of six was able to wrap up the main game and side missions within the hour. It was a fun room with a good sequence of puzzles!

Gameplay

The puzzles were well clued and enjoyable.

Atmosphere

The travel agency felt like a travel agency, and the use of archaeological props made the room shine.

Customer service

The Urban Mysteries Co team are always welcoming and kind.

Was a really good experience, but I wish that our game master was a little more hands off running our game! We seemed to have a puzzle piece for maybe 2 mins every time before help would come through over the speakers, which we felt was too much handholding that we ultimately didn’t need. It,didn’t give us enough of a chance to work out the puzzle ourselves, and then solved all but 1 of the side quests. Still a good room, beautifully decorated, would have been better puzzles given a chance to work them out :)
