Sherlock Studies

This was a great whodunit type room. The puzzles were simple and straightforward until the final murder mystery solve which I thought was a great conclusion. Overall, I had a fun time and Elizabeth was a great GM. She was super kind and helpful throughout.

Such a great room One of the better Sherlock type rooms we’ve played Very intuitive, great flow, fun variety of puzzles, riddles, physical elements and detective-experiences throughout We haven’t done Knight yet but this is my current favorite room here Great GM for the room. Had a blast Tidbits: Easy parking Great burger place next door but ample options in the area Room would easily accommodate 3-4 adult sized humans

This room is a linear room with classic puzzles and I absolutely loved it. I felt like a real detective putting pieces together and cracking the case. Great room

This was a very traditional old school escape room. No RFID puzzles or high tech stuff. Most of the locks were 5-letter word locks, so that was a little same-y. However, it was a fun murder mystery to solve, with a kind of clue-esque metapuzzle to solve at the end, and we had a good time. It could have been improved by just a little more info letting us know that each of the suspects and weapons could only be used in one place (e.g., if someone was somewhere else using a weapon, even at a different time than the time of the murder, that person would be eliminated as a suspect).

Lighthearted and well-themed. Fans of Sherlock Holmes will appreciate this traditional lock-heavy escape room. There's a great puzzle involving portraits and a fun "connect the clues" element at the end of the room to determine the murderer, weapon and location - it feels like playing Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective. Probably my favorite Sherlock Holmes game (I've played a few).

Solid game one of the first mystery games where I feel like I am actually searching through evidence to put together the pieces of the puzzle. Felt like a hunt the killer game where I actually had all the pieces and the pieces weren’t obscure to the point where you think it’s irrelevant.

The process of gradually gathering clues and piecing together the solution to the mystery was an unusual and appropriate way to theme the overarching puzzle. Other than that, nothing really stood out as memorable to me - it felt like a little like a throwback to early escape rooms, though it would have been good back then.

I really wanted to enjoy this room. The theming was cool and the puzzles were interesting. But one of the locks didn't work even though we had the correct combination, and they didn't give us all our time back when they had to come in and force the lock open. Gamemasters were not responsive and it took several requests for help. Also, they didn't seem to be following our gameplay and would give us answers we had already solved.
