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!

We enjoyed this room and liked the story line although some puzzle were very different to work out for the next clue!

Really good room and staff. The puzzles were difficult but not impossible. I took some extended family as their first escape room and they thoroughly enjoyed it. I also liked the fact that they had a kids version of the room (and another room) so we could send the kids in one and the adults do another one.

This was a solid game. Everything worked and we got clues when needed. We were 4 people, 2 of us very experienced with escape rooms and 2 had not done one before. This felt like a good game for beginners.

My friends and I personally did not enjoy this escape room. I did not love the usage of screens, nor the overall lack of interactive decor. The “clues” given to us were lackluster, and more so, straight out answers in lieu of helping. Also, just a personal thing, we were very upset there were no costumes :(
Gameplay
The beginning could be done fairly quickly, and at one point, we thought we’d be done in a short time. We then got to one puzzle that we were so stuck on, we just couldn’t figure it out. Our game master didn’t give the best assistance.
Atmosphere
I’ll be honest, I was expecting A LOT more from set design, for such a well known company. I was truly disappointed by the screen usage, as well as the “bookcase” in the room. I believe expenses would have looked better spent elsewhere.
Customer service
The woman who took us to the room was great. The person who greeted us at the end was not as good. She could have been having an off day, but she didn’t seem to enjoy her job, nor did she explain where we went wrong. There were times where we needed assistance with things not working (a keypad not working after getting the right number and not knowing the order of something) and instead of helping, we were either outright given the answer, or we had the parts reexplained to us that we already clearly understood.
Difficulty
Hard
I’m not entirely sure that the difficulty comes from the “clues,” or from how annoying they got. Even when the game master was explaining what we would have been able to do if we finished the last pieces to the escape room puzzle, she mentioned that the pieces we had didn’t line up properly, so we would have had difficulty.

Escapology is sort of notorious for broken tech/mech and having only 1 game master over multiple rooms at a time. Both of those were true for this, but it didn’t impact the overall enjoyment or escape from the Mansion Murder. Our gamemaster was spot on, and answered our 3 questions directly and thoroughly, and definitely helped us save time near the end by re-posting clues on the board we already discovered as a reference point. The atmosphere was great, very immersive “framed, then locked into a room” by including the 60 minutes timer as the time our team had until the cop arrived and arrested you. The puzzles were all straightforward but one, and like most Escapology rooms, the solutions required the white board and marker. One puzzle in particular required multi-layer pattern to unlock, which is an Escape room bottleneck and with make/break your time in this room.
