Mark as done to rate

Permanently Closed - 21st of October 1891, London. A dark silence hangs over 221B Baker Street. The great detective Sherlock Holmes has been discovered dead, washed up in the gutters outside a seedy East End opium den. Without his nemesis, the wicked Professor James Moriarty plots world domination from the shadows. You - Sherlock's oldest friends and faithful assistants - are now the only hope of stopping him. You've received a mysterious telegram saying that somewhere, hidden in Sherlock's study, is a file he compiled on Moriarty's evil plans. If this is true, it must be discovered and delivered to Inspector Lestrade of Scotland Yard within the hour. Prove your mettle as Baker Street's finest by tracking down the file, outsmarting the Napoleon of Crime, and solving the case. The plot thickens, but the game's afoot!

If you are a Sherlock fan this us the room for you, unsurprisingly a murder mystery theme, where escaping is still important
