Sherlock Escape Rooms: Sherlock: The Game Is Now

Overall: A bit dissapointing.

OK, so the positives are that the set-up is excellent from the Opticians reception onwards (no spoilers here) and some of the puzzles are great. It's also clearly designed for fans of the tv series, of which I'm one, with a few of the actors popping up at various stages. 

However, there were two main issues: firstly, the hosting was so bad it was cringeworthy and the themepark trick of let me inisist on taking your photo so that I can then try and sell it back to you was misjudged. If you're going to involve the hosts in the story then at least get ones that can act and not make everyone feel uncomfortable.

Secondly, the puzzles were almost all in serial. We were in a team of only four and even we found multiple times that three of us were hanging around waiting for one person. This is just poor design.

We all came away a bit deflated. It had some good aspects but we definitely weren't buzzing afterwards as we have been with other escape rooms.
