SHERLOCK ESCAPE ROOM REVIEW SERIES
Sherlock’s Despair can be played at Breakin’ Escape Rooms in Holloway, London. W ith the last of the acclaimed BBC Sherlock series aired back in 2017, fans of the modern day detective series, about a razor sharp intelligent detective and his lovable companion, were left with a gaping void in their lives, one that has been filled by The Game is Now. Smiles all round and a good time to become an escape room fanatic. Why? Because I just remember it being so much fun. I’ll admit, this room isn’t as fresh in my memory as my other recent reviews, but I’ve a crazy huge backlog of rooms I’ve been needing to put up on my blog and I might as well start with this. Not only this, but with the most number of puzzles compared to all other Breakin’ rooms – there’s more than enough for the whole team to do. There are mathematical puzzles, word puzzles and logic puzzles a plenty – I actually LOVE a logic puzzle, and what better for a Sherlock Holmes room? The room is quite padlock heavy, if that’s you’re thing – so there’s quite a bit of hunting, searching and solving to find a key, or suss out a code. Magnifying glasses? They got em! Dusty tomes, cool looking lamps? Check and check! Gimme a deerstalker hat immediately!Īnd the puzzles? A good mix.
SHERLOCK ESCAPE ROOM REVIEW TV
I find it hard not to compare to the last escape room I reviewed ( Sherlock: The Time is Now – I do a lot of Sherlock rooms huh?), but where that one was modern and based on the TV show, Breakin’s was vintage and Victorian in all the right ways. It really feels on brand (to the Sherlock Holmes vibe, I should say) and like you’re stepping into the detective’s own study.
Sherlock’s Despair as a game has really cool theming. Instead, this group of motley beginners, absolutely nailed it. For that reason when we arrived we were given the choice of swapping to another room if we wanted … Even with that tiny doubt in my mind that we might not make it out in time, I’m so glad we didn’t swap. If you ever browse Breakin’s website, or ask them which is the hardest – they’ll say this one. Sherlock’s Despair was my very first escape room with Breakin’ and it was also the escape room I used to introduce a whole new team to the genre! For this reason, it has a special place in my heart. ** PLEASE NOTE the time between visiting and writing this review was more than 1 year. Recommended For: Budding sleuths and Sherlock enthusiasts! You – Sherlock’s oldest friends and faithful assistants – are now the only hope of stopping him.
Without his nemesis, the wicked Professor James Moriarty plots world domination from the shadows. The great detective Sherlock Holmes has been discovered dead, washed up in the gutters outside a seedy East End opium den. A dark silence hangs over 221B Baker Street.
