The Sherlock Home

This is a must for escape room enthusiasts especially because this is maybe only one of two escape room air bnbs in the United States right now. The puzzles are numerous in this house so for just two people I was glad that we booked two nights so that we could space out the puzzling in between unpacking, sight seeing, and ordering meals to the house. There is a lot of searching involved throughout the house. Some puzzles are a little harder than others. But once we got to the third or fourth stage in the puzzles we flew through and were absolutely delighted and astounded by the craftsmanship of elements of the house. We cannot believe they built what they did into this old house from the seventies! So glad that we flew all the way out from CT to this experience. Also the home was very comfortable and the hosts provided us with snacks and drinks and cute decorations to celebrate our first wedding anniversary! So thoughtful and sweet! Also be prepared for many deer in the area that just wander the front yards of the quaint neighborhood. The hosts provided us with popcorn to feed them and at one point I got about a dozen deer to congregate in the yard! Overall a wonderful time and I can’t wait to do their second one based on Grimm’s fairytales!

What a great experience! The owners were lovely and super helpful. The amenities in the house are amazing. It just feels like you’ve been transported to another dimension with the level of detail that has been added to this house. The puzzles were all fair. My only complaint would be a puzzle or 2 that we didn’t understand, and the hint cards did not help us make the connection, so we had to just get the solution. So the hints could be improved in that way. Another thing was the puzzles required extensive searching, which is fine, but there are 0 hints to help with searching. So if you can’t find something you’re screwed. Something I really appreciated was how the puzzles picked up steam, getting more interesting and interactive as the game progressed. Totally recommended!

Truly there's nothing else like it. A solid 5ish hours of puzzles for us and we were never bored.

We loved the house with all the wonderful scenery and puzzles. Although the beginning was a bit slow, things really picked up and got exciting in the second half. There was a lot of searching and we had to use some clues but we had a lot of fun.

The Sherlock Home is excellent both as a comfortable place to stay and as a multi-hour set of puzzles that use almost every room in the house. It is far more than just a couple of paper puzzles and a lock or two. It has a surprising variety of interactions and reveals, great story, and a terrific incremental hinting system to get you unstuck without spoiling puzzles. Very very highly recommended.

WOW! If you like escape rooms, puzzles, or unique experiences then book this now! We stayed two nights and had about 7 hours of gameplay. There were three of us having a girlfriend getaway. I am still in awe about the experience they created. I don't want to give away anything - trust me - book it. The house is in a quiet neighborhood in a great part of San Antonio. The house was very clean and comfortable. I can't wait to stay at their next adventure.

Wow! This airbnb is truly one of a kind! We booked this place for one night only for our Texas Eclipse trip, and had a remarkable time. Everything, from entering the front door, to solving the final puzzle was a fantastic experience. One of the best escapes in Texas, genuinely. Book this experience - I promise you won’t be disappointed. Solved in about 3 hours.

Oh my god. Just finished. The immersion and environment is amazing. I’m definitely nominating this for TERPECA this year. Falling asleep and waking up to a puzzle house, isn’t that the dream? Kudos to the owners.
