Loved this game! If you’re a fan of the show, you’ll get a real kick out of the story and top-notch acting. Starting in the optometrist office was very cheeky and fun. The bar beforehand is also delightful and there are puzzles and games there too. Overall, it was very fun and a must for Sherlock fans!

There were sort of actors in the pregame, but it was mostly just an orientation. At one point you do talk to someone on the phone during the game itself, but that’s it.

There are some parts during the orientation where you stand around for a bit
Accessibility
Generally accessible. Some clues are content where delivered via video message, but I suspect captions are available.

Another great experience from the guys behind time run. Brilliant intro and Immersive experiences and multiple rooms of puzzles, just some puzzles and frustrations let it down for us compared to their other experiences.

This speakeasy and escape room is so unique! It took us a while to find the actual escape room, its hidden perfectly. We love the puzzles and the theme.

It's very good but a few things bothered me. 1) everything felt so commercial, from the bar to the photo that you have to pay for. I paid enough for the room, I don't need this. 2) some of the puzzles were about trial and error. Especially in the last phase, wasn't really fun to solve these. 3) the room was cold and we were too. It's not fun playing and also freezing. Otherwise the room was great. Loved the facade and the scale. It's just not in my top 10 of the year.

I thought this whole place was amazing! I really loved the “front” of an opticians office, and the level of detail they put into EVERYTHING! The speakeasy is wonderful, even has some games to play in it, and the bar is great too. The bathroom is even cool!

We both love the show, so while this room was not all that special or unique otherwise I would recommend if you are a fan. We did get paired with strangers.
