One of the best rooms we've done. The theming to the hosting to the puzzels, everything was so cleverly thought out and well done. Our games master Ronan was a real stand up guy and never broke the illusion. The clue system is very original and the finale is... well I shan't spoil anything but very very fun.

Really not what I expected. The format is very different to your typical escape room and simulates a detective computer game so well. I love the interactions with the actor and having to out of your comfort zone. 

We felt really safe to play in their sandbox. The creator was an amazing host and really heightened the experience and fun. 

Well worth seeking out for something different.

A solid game, more of a detective experience than an escape room. Very classic puzzles and tech used. Did feel a little old/worn. Loved the end, good fun.

Case Closed is a brilliant game, the hosts are so focused on ensuring you have a brilliant time. Not your normal escape room experience but feels more like a murder mystery with escape room elements. 

A perfect way to spend 90 minutes with some friends and I couldn't say anything better than whats already been said here.

The Murder of Max Sinclair is not an escape room. Or, at least, it is not like other escape rooms. It is an escape room++. Or, perhaps it is an example of what an escape room could (and, IMO, should) be.

Escape rooms sell us a dream - for an hour or so, they promise to transport us to another place or time, to be the hero in our own story. Yet, all too often, they fail to deliver on that promise. The Murder of Max Sinclair is perhaps the best room I have ever played in terms of actually delivering the fantasy it promises.

You will feel like a detective. You will have to act like a detective. You will solve the crime the way a detective would (or, at least, the way a detective would as portrayed in a TV murder mystery). So forget about 4-digit codes, or placing statuettes in a particular order, or blowing out candles. Instead, pour yourself a whisky, put on that trenchcoat, light up a cigarette and step out into the foggy air underneath the flickering streetlight, and you will love this.

In terms of real-world logistics, I should mention that Ronan was very accommodating of our team's requests, an absolutely superb host all the way through the game (including the thrilling ending!), and was a delight to talk to afterwards. There is a board game cafe on-site where we waited between games, and a geek pizza place close-by. We played as a family (2 adults, 3 kids aged between 12-17) and we all left absolutely buzzing from the experience.

It's not perfect, but as of right now I think it's one of the very best experiences available. I would recommend it to anyone.

The host encouraged us to take a bit more time to enjoy this one. We’re normally time driven by (and enjoy the rush of) trying to get out as quickly as possible! but I was glad for the pointer on this one - beautiful design, and a genuine joy to play even if it’s not the most difficult room. Would definitely recommend regardless of whether it’s your first or 100th room!

This is an unmissable room for any escape room enthusiasts out there! A very clever, immersive, and extremely original room that deserves its reputation as one of the best rooms in the UK. Our host, Ronan, was exceptional throughout our time there and really brought the room to life. The format that the Case Closed team have got is very unique, and the extra time that you get compared to the standard escape room allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the experience and not worry about getting out in time, but instead enjoy the immersive elements of the room.
Such a clever idea, and we had such a fantastic time solving the case. Can't wait to try the Radio one you guys have got planned. Thanks again, Case Closed!

Case Closed is without a doubt my new favourite room in Edinburgh. No- favourite in Scotland. And for that matter, a strong contender for my favourite in the UK. If I don’t see Case Closed listed on the 2023 TERPECA nominations for the UK, I’ll be very surprised indeed.
