The Game is Now.

So I attended the Sherlock Escape Room.

It was hard to find, but clearly marked when you did actually get there!

The sets are fab and the Sherlock themed bar, great.

You get film contributions from Andrew, Mark and Martin.

Audio contributions from Benedict and Loo.

My pal and I teamed up with a German couple and did quite well.

It is great fun.

I do have a photo, but the technology defeats me...

All in character, I assume?

[besleybean]

Er, yes.

Apologies, I thought that was implied!

Benedict was as we sometimes see Sherlock, you kow, the more jokey, light-hearted and human version...

which I suppose does fit in with where we left off from the story.

it sounds like so much fun! I really want to try an escape room some day, I hope i'll be able to go to this in summer at some point. was the escape room difficult?

[besleybean]

I think it is...

partly because of the time pressure.

There were only four of us, so I can certainly see the advantage of having a full team of six.

Having said that, the lovely German couple my pal and I were with, were both brilliant.

You need a bit of creative thinking...

You also forget that the staff are listening to you the whole time!

They said to us afterwards, that we were an infuriating group...

We very quickly worked out the solutions and then immediately talked ourselves out of it. Ha!

Was that because "the solution" didn't stand up to close scrutiny?  That may be more an indictment of the solution than of your detective work.  

 

[besleybean]

No I think it's more to do with flapping about like a spooked flock of birds, cos you are so aware of the clock ticking...

Tick, tock.

Ah, memories of Andrew...😍

Not positive you are supposed to be quite so in love with the mortal enemy!
