You are Robert Montgomerie, the only remaining direct heir to the Kildermorie Estate and the Montgomerie family fortune. You’re attending a family gathering, hosted by your Grandfather, Hugh ‘Monty’ Montgomerie, the 9th Earl of Kildermorie to celebrate the dawn of the new Millennium. As the guests raise a toast, a scream fills the air…Your Grandfather is found dead in the library - and it looks like MURDER! Suddenly, you’re bundled into the Drawing Room and the door is locked. Confused, you bang on the door and call for help until it dawns on you... that as the direct heir, all fingers are pointed at you! You realize you’ve been framed! But who would want to kill your Grandfather… and why? You overhear the Police being called, but know that, as the Kildermorie Estate is hidden deep in the Scottish Highlands, it will take them 60 minutes to arrive. The only evidence that proves your innocence is hidden in the Mansion… For centuries, the Montgomerie family assigned a single gatekeeper to its secret family history. The Earl’s sudden demise means he can no longer pass-on these secrets, but the wise old man ensured there was sufficient evidence, hidden throughout the family residence, should anything unexpected happen to him! What he didn’t anticipate is you’d need to uncover these secrets in only 60 minutes! Will hidden clues reveal distant family secrets? Can you gather enough evidence and piece the story together to prove your innocence? And the biggest challenge of all... is it even remotely possible to solve the mystery before the clock strikes 12? Success means freedom, fortune and saving the future of your family… Failure means life behind bars...Do you have what it takes to find the family killer before you are framed and lose your inheritance? Time is of the essence!

Good! Not great but good!
Lots of things you could solve many ways, which was trickier with only 2 people!
Some exposed wires/game pieces(vacuum), and had to push doors open after unlocking them with only a click sound from them unlocking to know to try opening them
Our GM was great! People at the front seemed a little less passionate about their jobs

Our GM Logan was great! Sent messages to us based on the jokes we were making, which I personally love and don’t think it breaks immersion. Game pieces didn’t feel too worn or gross. Leaps in logic that seems to be common for escapology.
Basic theme, nothing too new or ordinary. Some leaps in the logic, game pieces could have led to multiple solutions and no clear reasoning as to why. I had fun though!
Boring set, only cool thing was a painting on the wall with eyes that moved.
Our game guide, Logan, was so funny. Sent little messages based on the jokes my group made. Made it feel personal!

Don’t remember the murderer, it fell flat as a story

Two people with a lot of escape room experience got out with over 15 minutes left. Pretty easy, only needed one clue.

Small room, be wary. Minimum is two for this game though! 3-4 probably, but 2 only is great for those with escape room experience!

Had to push things open that were probably supposed to pop open.
No

One puzzle involved running but with more than two people not physically active at all.
Final room probably too small for those with mobility aids. Color based puzzle. Sound based clue. Lower lighting.
Yes
Easy to find and plenty of parking, but can’t find by walking around.
Easy
2 parking lots nearby and street parking available.

I have been to a different escapology in San Fransisco and I love their games but I’m gonna be honest this one to me was kind of frustrating just because the puzzle flow wasn’t very great. And the hints they gave were hints that I was already on and the hint didn’t really help sometimes. The room itself was good and the them was on par but I think some of the puzzles were a little bit older and could be revamped. There is a bar there which was pretty cool but this room was not my favorite
Honestly many of the puzzles were not as clear than other escape rooms I have been to and some puzzles flowed and others didn’t and had many things associated with a single puzzle to get the answer
The atmosphere was very in theme. Some of the puzzles it self could be revamped and maybe touched up. Once of the puzzles is very finicky and I actually took something out without solving it but I continued to put it back and solve the puzzle
The staff was great. There is a bar there and I think their service is good

We were running late and they started the clock after 5 minutes (which is pretty standard). We expected a higher number of clues with more locks, but it was still engaging and fun. With 2 people, we needed a couple of hints and got out in a little less than 40 minutes.

Some of the puzzles are too clunky in terms of mechanics and take long to solve once you figure them out. It’s not that they were difficult or very clever

Great puzzles and environment. Only one complex/confusing puzzles. All the rest were quite logical and flowed well. Lots of fun!

We did this room with six adults and two kids. We had a blast. We got through with no clues and found the puzzles solvable and logical.

Some of the clues on paper were way too small to read. Also the color orange is not the same as red.
The clues on paper were way too small where you could barely read the text.

Visual theming of this room was great, but some of the puzzles just seemed disconnected and left us needing some clues. Very immersive room.
Other then a few puzzle hiccups the room flowed well.
Great immersive set design.

We did two rooms here and ate at their restaurant in between. Love the concept of the combination of bar/restaurant/escape room. Everyone we interacted with was fantastic and cared! Exceeded expectations for a franchise. This room was well layed out. I loved a couple of the more unique uses of "furniture" in their puzzles. There was one math problem that got us caught up.
Yes
Loved the "furniture" puzzle.
