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!

8 escape rooms
We’ve done about 8-10 escape rooms and this is the first we haven’t completed. Some of it I think due to the puzzles/props malfunctioning and being worn out. Seems like some of the clues were a bit of a stretch so didn’t flow as well as others we have played. Overall the room was cool but probably wouldn’t recommend it to a friend.

Fun murder mystery escape room with a good combination of digital and physical puzzles. We enjoyed the storyline and the progression of puzzles. Fun room for all.

We saved this room for last at this venue because it was supposedly the most difficult. We did need some hints in this room but probably more due to malfunctioning puzzles and poor design compared to other rooms we completed there. It was fun and we all enjoyed it, but it was no one’s favorite in our group of 4. One puzzle in particular was super annoying and didn’t seem to be working correctly. It’s a fine room if you’re an enthusiast and want to complete as many rooms as possible that are good/fine rooms. But I wouldn’t choose this as a first room for a newbie, and nothing about it stands out as great. It’s just Ok.
Gameplay
The game fits in pretty well with other escapology games we’ve played (this was the last one we completed at the Fayetteville location, having done all the others). I will say in my opinion it wasn’t as “tight” in gameplay, flow, puzzle quality compared to the others in our opinion.
Atmosphere
Several fun surprises. Interesting setting and story.

It fits in with most other escapology games. Not super high tech but not just boxes and locks either.

Was anything broken?
Yes
One of the puzzles was broken which allowed us to bypass the puzzle altogether. We didn’t realize it until the debriefing when we asked why we hadn’t needed a particular clue/item. Another puzzle wasn’t broken per se, but kept malfunctioning. When we asked for a hint we were simply given the solution, so I’m guessing this is a common occurrence.

I wish there were a neutral option to choose from. This room is beautifully decorated and overall enjoyable, however, one puzzle in particular seemed far too complex. Our team is very experienced and we, sadly, spent 20 minutes and asked for multiple clues on this puzzle. Maybe it was just us, but I’m still not sure how you were supposed to approach the correct answer for the puzzle. The rest of the room was pretty fun! We were a little bummed our game master didn’t let us finish or explain the remainder of the room to us, especially since we were on the very last puzzle when our time ran out. Super challenging room, but mostly due to one or two puzzles specifically
