Baker Street Mystery

8/10

We did all rooms in Social Escape Rooms and loved all of them. This one was second most difficult they have, in our opinion. We left after 59 minutes and 57 seconds! The room required a big attention to detail, some creativity, and logical thinking but it was all manageable and clear. Good theme, challenging puzzles, really great fun!

We loved completing this game today! The room was easier for us to complete, but we still left feeling so satisfied. There are lots of different clues to solve and you really feel like you get your moneys worth. It was just a single room, but we still enjoyed the sequence of clues and how interactive the host is. Loved seeing the stats at the end too. Great room for any level! We actually really enjoyed the older style locks and keys. Can’t wait for the upgrade though, just so we can come back and do another room at Social Escape as the team are amazing!

Baker Street Mystery proves that a one-room escape game can still be awesome. To be honest, I didn't expect too much from it, but we ended up loving the Sherlock theme, the challenging puzzles, superb game flow, and overall fun factor. And it won't be a one-room escape game for much longer, because Social Escape is currently revamping the entire room with all new bespoke puzzles. We'll definitely be back once the upgrade is complete!

Four of us locked In the mystery at Baker Street. The room was stocked With cool details both clever and neat Unlock the puzzles but don't try to alone. Padlocks abound secured Holmes’s home. Work out the trick and stay on the right path. Use your logic and a smidgen of math. The room was simple to solve but we will be back again. (That math stanza should rhyme if your accent’s American)

Did this room with a team of four. Was quite padlock heavy. Pretty standard escape room with low tech puzzles, no mechanisms.

The room was very cool and used a lot of mechanics not utilised by other venues. We were going fine until we missed one important clue that had use stumped for 25 minutes because we were too stubborn to ask for clues. Whoops. They give you a piece of paper with stats of your playthrough and how you stacked up to others and when you solved specific puzzles.

Completed this room as a group of 3. This was the first time I tried Social Escape rooms and it was an enjoyable experience. Baker Street Mystery was only one room but had a lot of interesting puzzles to solve. I really enjoyed getting a page of stats afterwards that compared our experience to the average, that was a fun surprise! The staff here were very knowledgeable and friendly, and it was great to chat with them about different escape rooms. Would recommend this room to players of any level, and can’t wait to try more rooms here!

For a one room escape room the amount of puzzles in Baker Street Mystery is truly impressive. The theming was fun and the puzzles were diverse and interesting. We had 6 people in this room but I didn’t feel like it was cramped or awkward like some smaller rooms tend to be. We were all always working on something but the linearity never felt confusing. Appreciated this room and keen to see it get its update into a multi room experience.

Right up there with the best “one room” escape rooms I’ve played. So many puzzles packed cleverly into the space provided us (a group of 6) with endless entertainment and satisfying solves. Great room!
