I absolutely love this series! They’re more tabletop text adventure mysteries than escape rooms per se. But that’s why I love them as a huge fan of murder mysteries and Sherlock Holmes. You play as the Baker Street Irregulars and follow leads by using an address book and investigating wherever you think it’s necessary. I love that the game doesn’t hold your hand. It allows you to figure out on your own what you need to do and how to find out where to go. At the end, whenever you decide you are “done” investigating, you have to answer a quiz that will determine whether or not you’ve figured out the solution, culprit, motive, and other important details. You’re scored on how well you did, and how many more leads it took you to find the answer vs. Sherlock. Though Sherlock “cheats” by knowing which minimum leads are important, so we just consider it a win if we solve the case at all! Overall, with many cases in the series, it’s highly recommended for mystery fanatics! I’ve spent so many hours thinking about every single case!
