We really enjoyed this game! It only takes place in one office room, but that didn't impact it at all for us - still lots to find and interact with physically and via a computer interface. Even more impressively this is the same space used for Deep Cover but it felt very different as a game, because of how the story unfolded and how it used the space in quite a different way.

It made good use of Case Closed's signature style of asking questions to ensure you genuinely understood what going on in the story and had used your brain to think about it!

If you're in Edinburgh, absolutely do Radio Nowhere and Murder of Max Sinclair as a higher priority than this game but this game is great value and still felt like a proper escape room. This game had a particularly great physical real-science-based interaction and a surprisingly high octane ending.

We did this and Director's Cut (as well as the other bigger games) all in one day, which was a bit intense but great, especially with some downtime in their boardgame cafe (Secret Solstice). If you only do Deep Cover or Director's Cut - both are on par with each other but we slightly preferred this one due to some of the surprises and interactions but tbh - do both! 

We played the Christmas Carol Escape Room yesterday and had a really good time! It was a fun mix of escape room and immersive theatre – the puzzles were interesting and a good mix of challenging puzzles and easier ones.

The ‘games masters’ were great with hints and nudges in the right direction but only when we actually needed them, so we never felt stuck. They also really brought the experience to life – fully in costume and character throughout. Speaking of being in costume – we were also given characters to play, which I thought would be naff but instead was fun and made us feel properly part of the story rather than observers, without intruding on the puzzle solving experience.

It was a great venue for an escape room experience as it felt authentic being in and around a working mill. Must give special mention to the effort put into a number of the props and set pieces – they were excellent. Highly recommend visiting as a family or group of friends, you’ll have a great time!
