5 star Tripadvisor Review

“The best I’ve ever seen. Entirely unlike any escape room I’ve ever been to, in the best possible way. There are things in this room that will make you yell ‘Why is no one else doing it like this!’”

Solve a Murder,

Be a detective.

Max Sinclair, private investigator, has been found dead in his own office.
Foul play? Tough times? Or just plain old bad luck?

The other cops call it an open and shut case…
You’re not like other cops.

You’ve got 90 minutes to explore the office, analyse the crime scene, and come to your own conclusions of what happened, figuring out who the real killer is.

Along the way, you’ll solve 5 smaller mysteries: identifying the murder weapon, tracing back the details of Max’s last case, uncovering a sprawling conspiracy, and more!

This escape room experience lets you live out the fantasy of really being a crime-solving detective.

ABOUT YOUR ESCAPE ROOM EXPERIENCE

90 Minutes in the Room

90 Minutes gives you more time to spend solving the mystery and enjoying your experience than any other Escape Game in Edinburgh. We want you to slow down, immerse yourself, and feel like a real detective.

Real Detective Skills, Not Just Puzzles

Our game focuses on real deduction and mystery-solving skills, rather than standard puzzles. There’ll be a few classic padlocks and riddles along the way, but you’ll have to theorise and communicate with your team if you want to get to the bottom of what really happened.

Mature Themes

This experience contains themes of suicide, and features several realistic firearm replicas. Please get in touch before booking if either of these are a cause for concern.

WHO CAN PLAY?

Age Limit: 16+
Due to the mature themes of the story, and the lateral thinking involved in cracking the case, this experience is unsuitable for children under 16.

Team Size: 2-8
All bookings are for private games, you will never be teamed up with someone outside of your party.
