My first escape room. If we hadn't been enamored by the incredible attention to detail in the room, we would've had more time to spend on the puzzles. To date, my only escape room fail. I will be back to tackle this one!

Fairly standard room, fairly standard theme, fairly standard set, fairly standard puzzles… there’s nothing remarkably good nor remarkably bad here. This might be the average-est room I’ve done 3/5

Escape Room Live's Alexandria location is just a wonderful place to go as every room is quite enjoyable. At this point, Sherlock study escape rooms are as common as pirates and zombies, but this still was a standout. The sets are extensive and beautifully done. There are not a ton of 1st gen of combo locks. The room has a nice flow and we were watched over nicely by our gamemaster. I'd still favor the Apothecary > Poe > this Sherlock room but certainly add this one to the list if you can do multiples.

I really liked this room. There were some clever puzzles and all of the reveals in the room were very well maintained and hidden. My husband and I played two rooms during our visit and Max and Eden were such great game masters. We met a few other people before and after our game and they were also so nice and friendly. This room is a little smaller so group sizes between 2-4 are perfect for this game.
All of the game masters and staff here are amazing!

Shout out to our gms Eli and Vanessa! Great staff add so much to the overall experience. This was a solid room. Not the most compelling storyline or atmospheric space, but we enjoyed the puzzles and had a good experience. However if you can only do 1 or 2 of the rooms at this location, skip Sherlock and do the Poe and Wizard rooms instead. This location used to have some rooms that were only 45 minutes, but we were told they added some puzzles and now they're all 60 minutes.
It was fine. Not bad, not great. Their Poe room is more richly themed, and the Wizard room set is really good and atmospheric.
The staff is amazing! Thanks Vanessa and Eli!

Solid but not particularly special.

There was a mix of mechanical and higher tech locks. Nothing super high tech.

In my opinion 2-3 players is the sweet spot for most rooms, including this one. My spouse and I successfully completed this room as a duo at a very comfortable / relaxed pace. There are parallel puzzles and there's plenty of physical space so a group of 4-5 would probably be ok, but you get to do more when you're in a smaller group.

There's no objectionable or scary content, but I think kids would be bored by this one. Also some of the puzzle content is up at grown up height and wouldn't physically be accessible to children.

Visual impairment would make several of the puzzles difficult. Color blindness might impact one puzzle. No audio puzzles. Players in a wheelchair might not be able to see all of the components for all of the puzzles, but could take on the complementary solving role. The room itself has ample space for a wheelchair to move around.

Street parking can be challenging as the location is in a busy area of downtown Alexandria with lots of restaurants and shops.

We really enjoyed this game! We’re big fans of TEG; this acquired series is unique and fun. The theme was engaging and the difficulty was perfect for those looking for a good time.
Fun, original puzzles 🧩
Smaller one room environment but it’s still sufficient
Our GM Vanessa was incredible!
We felt like junior detectives on the scene.

This room was a ton of fun! It was one of the more difficult rooms we have done, part of which can be attributed to the fact that we only had 45 min vs the usual 60min. I think if we had the extra time we definitely would have gotten out because we were like one step away from the end! The room was fun, and really well designed and definitely kept us engaged the ENTIRE time. There was no standing around just wondering what to do next, we kind of had multiple puzzles going at once which made the time go by soooo fast. Overall this is the best Sherlock themed room I’ve done, and I would recommend it to anyone who’s done escape rooms before and is looking for something a little more challenging.
It definitely flowed really well, and it was a lot of fun.
The atmosphere was great! The game design was really high quality compared to other rooms we have done.
The team was extremely welcoming and friendly.
Yes
It was actually pretty difficult! You also don’t get a full hour - it’s 45 min which makes it harder.
I love a good Sherlock themed story!
Hard
This was a hard room - but I will say the puzzles were very thoughtfully designed and it was difficult but not because things weren’t working or things just didn’t flow.
