The Exit Game

Sherlock Holmes: Parliament Games

Escape room

We scheduled a 21:30 game and showed up about 30 minutes early and our game master got us in early, which was much appreciated.  However, as soon as we walked into the room and saw how obviously worn everything was we knew we were in for a substandard experience.  The game flow was non-existent and we found ourselves, multiple times, holding obscure clues to puzzles we'd already solved.  The worn-ness of the room became evident as clues needed to be manipulated multiple times to get the actions to work, screws were sticking through one item, and an item meant to hold a heavy piece of furniture from falling was dangling behind the item (When we asked about it we were told a previous team had pulled it out and it had yet to be fixed = potential safety issue).
  Our game master did a conscientious job of trying to keep things moving and bypassed a step when we thought a piece was missing that we spent 5+ minutes trying to find (she showed us where it was at the end and despite our looking at the specific area and moving the item around couldn't find it -- that one was on us).
  Overall,  Sherlock Holmes was notably more frustrating than fun with the obscure puzzles, worn equipment, and lack of/confusing flow.  We don't recommend playing this room, nor will we return to do any of the others at The Exit Game.

First, I want thank the manager/owner for talking with us about the escape room industry while we were deciding to open our own. 

Second, I agree with the negative reviews about this experience. Puzzles were disjointed, had no flow, some just broken. Game-master wasn’t paying attention and asked us “where are you in the game” if I had any idea where I was in the game, I wouldn’t be asking for a clue. 

I really hope they take to heart the bad reviews and fix up the experience. Or close it and open a new experience that doesn’t rely heavily on outside knowledge of how escape rooms work. 

I love this industry and would even offer some help sometime if the owners want direct feedback puzzle by puzzle.

Game master was not paying attention, clues were given before items were found to make sense of the clues. Some clues made no sense at all.

One of the worst I’ve ever played. There’s no flow whatsoever.
