Mark as done to rate
Being the brilliant mind that he is, the genius, Sherlock Holmes already made a prediction about a future incident that was going to happen to him. He predicted that he was one day going to be poisoned and quickly found ways out for himself, creating a secret elixir that will cure him of his poison. But there really is no Sherlock Holmes without mystery to his ways. Deep down in his mind, he hid the secret elixir and kept the ingredients a mystery to every other person around him. Now, his predictions turned out to be accurate and he ended up being poisoned and is in a coma. However, to get the elixir to cure him of his poison, Sherlock needs you to enter into his mind and search for where he hid the secret to his cure. Guess you’d have to find your way into the genius’s mind to save him and a way out to save yourself?

Not remotely Sherlock. The first room is pretty with some interesting tech, but the story is just... so messy and takes a bizarre turn that was extremely strange and disappointing.

This room was not my favorite. Getting started was a little confusing, but as soon as we did it didn't take much to figure out the room. We escaped, so we were happy about that.

This was one of the weirdest rooms I've ever done. The plot itself is really bizarre--we're going INSIDE Sherlock Holmes's mind??--but when you get inside there are a bunch of really weird and creepy visuals, and bizarre puzzles. That being said, it provided a challenge, and we had to use teamwork to make it all work out. Some of the puzzles were incredibly challenging. Others were a little finicky. Others were quite creepy.

I'd never experienced a room like this before. I think it was meant to be chilling/scary/creepy? But ended up just being really bizarre.

There was a part where you had to move a large object around the room. It is on wheels, but still quite active.

The production quality of this room was realistic. It was nice to not see office ceilings! The puzzles blended really well with the storyline. There were some fun tasks we needed to perform that I’ve never experienced. Andrew was our host and he took great care of us.

Some fun puzzles but I was very confused about how the theming, story, and the contents of the room all fit together by the end, which was creepier/spookier than expected

Our GM gifted one of the daughters of the group a toy she was pining over, that was sweet of him.

Simple room and very straight forward. Linear. Only need 2 people otherwise there would be too many brains and likely some will feel left out with not much to do. A little creepier than advertised. While I was fine with it, friend was not. Ending was anticlimactic with no real sense that you have succeeded.

Shoutout to Jake of the bat, though we didn’t need him as a gamemaster much in the room, he was nice to talk to up front and introed the room well. The game itself was surprisingly short. Me and my team saw the record was 25 minutes and we were only 6 minutes off that by the end. The puzzles and setting were fun! I just wish there were more of them. I’d say the room was really easy EXCEPT the last puzzle was crazy hard for us… took us about 10 minutes to think it through and be confused but we got it in the end. Wish the story was a little better though.
