We did this room as our usual Team Of Two. Just a simple premise, but a very busy room. Lots to do simultaneously so as not to get too bored. :) Charlotte was a fantastic GM. Our final puzzle was marred by a missing item, but we embarrassingly discovered this missing item in the pocket of one of team members during our drive home. With our tails between our legs, we returned to the game site and apologised profusely!

While there are loads of high-tech, narrative driven experiences these days, sometimes you just want to be locked* in a room and solve a bunch of puzzles. If that's what you're after, this is the room for you. *Not actually locked in
Gameplay
Good solid puzzles and lots of them. We did manage to confuse ourselves by doing a few things out of order but straightened it out with a few hints
Atmosphere
The low-tech nature helps contribute to the Victorian vibe, and there's some lovely furniture
Customer service
Mark very clearly enjoys game mastering, and the hints were useful without making things too easy. The stats sheet at the end is one of my favourite parts of any escape room

It's a single room with lots of padlocks and a relatively common theme, but it is well-executed
Story
In true Holmesian fashion you're solving a crime but it's really just a basic framework for a bunch of puzzles
Difficulty
Hard
Good mix of logical thinking, creative thinking, and searching

We struggled through with 2, but it's a pretty small room so could get crowded easily

This room had great and well thought out puzzles. I enjoyed doing puzzles which I hadn't done before. We felt immersed into the Sherlock theme with aesthetic props. Ali and Mark were very friendly and enthusiastic about their rooms which made me want come back and finish all their rooms off.

We enjoyed the collection of puzzles in ‘Baker Street Mystery’. The charm of Sherlock Holmes lends beautifully to escape rooms and this experience delivers the cleverness of Arthur Conan Doyle’s iconic detective. Given that it’s a single room experience, Social Escape ensured players would move around the room whilst solving the puzzles in ‘Baker Street Mystery’, effectively maximising space. It is worth noting that Social Escape is working on a revamp for the experience with all-new puzzles and an expansion beyond 221b Baker Street’s living room. Play this one now before it’s gone!
