Your group of up to 7 people has been hired by Sherlock Holmes to assist in the trial for Mr. Bartholomew T. Mr. Bartholomew is on trial for the murder of multiple people, yet there is no good evidence to deem him guilty yet.

If you don't make it, Mr. Bartholomew goes free and you can not so safely assume who his next victims will be.

Overall an enjoyable room! Medium-tech, single-room design-- it was fun to complete for sure! Had a party of four which felt like the right amount of people for the room. Flow-wise it was more free-form, non-linear, well conducted-- never felt like we were completely lost on where to go next except after we'd found the letter (GM didn't tell us-- potentially forgot? --what the endgoal number lock was, so since we were told our goal was to get the letter we weren't sure what to do once we had it) and GM jumped in with the light hints at good times to make sure we stayed in the proper direction. Their hint system is hints and clues are different-- hints are at discretion of GM and are more subtle, but you have 3 clues that are more direct and you can ask for them. We didn't need to use any clues and the hints were well timed and not too much at all. I would say this room is better for people more familiar with escape rooms though, as it does have some stuff that is less intuitive if you're not familiar with common elements.

Not one of our favorite rooms but some unique puzzles that were fun.

Gameplay

Relatively few puzzles. Did not flow well. No connections from puzzles to locks. Too many red herrings.

Played this room about 4 years ago, so please note that when considering this review. Enjoyable theme, solid effects (for the time) and set decoration was lovely. I would recommend it as a starter room for newer players.
