A fun way to explore the city and learn more about the history of how Sherlock came to be and the man behind him. As lovers of escape games, our team of two thoroughly enjoyed being able to puzzle solve while being outdoors and visiting landmarks across Edinburgh. We will definitely be back for their other games next time!
