Original idea and clearly story driven, but it didn't "click" for us so we found it frustrating - especially given all the hype and the good experience with Mad. 

An experience rather than an escape room. There's a few puzzles scattered amongst various videos and audio clips featuring the cast of the BBC Sherlock show.

If you're expecting an escape room, you'll be disappointed and feeling overcharged. If you're a fan of Sherlock first and puzzles second, you'll probably enjoy it. 

The immersion starts from the end of the briefing with a unique entry to the room. A good level of creepiness throughout keeps up the tension. 

Lots of originality in an expansive experience. Some of the audio could be a bit clearer but a text version is shown in case you miss anything. Not easy, but easily the best of the 3 rooms we played. 

Original puzzles, but the controls of one puzzle early in the game didn't work properly and one late in the game seemed to complete without us working out how to do it. 

Similar mechanic to Curio, light on puzzles, heavy on video's you have to watch to move the story along

The next instalment of the Chapelgate Mysteries is every bit as good as the first. The set is great with pieces of puzzles cleverly hidden in plain sight. Plenty of puzzles to keep even the most puzzle hungry Escapers happy. Hosting is brilliant and we could have happily chatted for hours. 

The better of the 2 rooms available when we played. Some good ideas and not reliant on padlocks. A background track would help lift the room and build some tension. However haven't we left the age of walkie-talkies for hint giving?? 

The design is interesting and could be good with a good puzzle designer, but as it is, it's severely lacking in puzzle quality and quantity. 

Fairly standard heist style room, math haters might dislike the number of times the calculator came into play.
