You are Robert Montgomerie, the only remaining direct heir to the Kildermorie Estate and the Montgomerie family fortune. You’re attending a family gathering, hosted by your Grandfather, Hugh ‘Monty’ Montgomerie, the 9th Earl of Kildermorie to celebrate the dawn of the new Millennium. As the guests raise a toast, a scream fills the air…Your Grandfather is found dead in the library - and it looks like MURDER! Suddenly, you’re bundled into the Drawing Room and the door is locked. Confused, you bang on the door and call for help until it dawns on you... that as the direct heir, all fingers are pointed at you! You realize you’ve been framed! But who would want to kill your Grandfather… and why? You overhear the Police being called, but know that, as the Kildermorie Estate is hidden deep in the Scottish Highlands, it will take them 60 minutes to arrive. The only evidence that proves your innocence is hidden in the Mansion… For centuries, the Montgomerie family assigned a single gatekeeper to its secret family history. The Earl’s sudden demise means he can no longer pass-on these secrets, but the wise old man ensured there was sufficient evidence, hidden throughout the family residence, should anything unexpected happen to him! What he didn’t anticipate is you’d need to uncover these secrets in only 60 minutes! Will hidden clues reveal distant family secrets? Can you gather enough evidence and piece the story together to prove your innocence? And the biggest challenge of all... is it even remotely possible to solve the mystery before the clock strikes 12? Success means freedom, fortune and saving the future of your family… Failure means life behind bars...Do you have what it takes to find the family killer before you are framed and lose your inheritance? Time is of the essence!

Did not enjoy this room at all. We would have never made it out if it wasn’t for the continual clues that our team never once asked for.

This was not a room I enjoyed. The puzzles didn't feel satisfying to solve and the customer service was not great. The room was themed well but the story became lost as the game progressed.
Didn't flow well to me. Connections between puzzles seemed to require logic jumps.
Good set design.
Staff was welcoming at first but seemed to just want to get us out quickly at the end.

Wonderful, linear room! Easy and fun for intermediate Escapers with clear clues, a silly theme, and moderate to high theming.
Yes
One effect was not reset.

This is the first room I did not escape. There were a lot of minor details that you needed to remember and yes you will need your whiteboard that is provided. Literally every little object it seemed was in play which was kinda sensory overload when trying to to solve the puzzles I had to ask for hints WAY too often because my group got stuck a lot! This room also had a lot of things broken when we played and didn’t “release” the next activity. Our game master had to come in once to help us progress because the safe wouldn’t open.
The puzzles were a little all over the place. It starts off well enough but then you have too many back and forth between the rooms
No special effects. This would have helped elevate the experience. But the design was immersive
The staff here was amazing
This is where it fell short for me. I feel like they were trying to do so much with very little

This was a very challenging room - it had a lot of easily missable small hints and clues. We definitely needed a lot of hints to complete it - not because it didn’t flow well but because of the amount of detail in the room with 2 people it is a little challenging.

The room felt clunky with unnecessary steps. Sometimes you needed a to find a key to unlock a box with another key. The puzzles seemed like they weren’t thought out very well either. Probably the weakest of the rooms I’ve played at that location.

These games are mediocre in my opinion, they are alright but over priced, better places in the areas.
It was alright, These games flow well and are mainly simple puzzle based
It was a nice atmosphere
Staff is nice

This was a good room, a classic who done it. The puzzles were good, most not too challenging, however we felt there were a couple puzzles that had illogical leaps or way to many steps to figure out which consumed time. We enjoyed Murder on the Orient Express at this location more. Overall descent room.
