Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

It was so nearly good. The opticians entrance we all loved, but we were left waiting and no one had explained, until we asked, why there was a delay. They were short of staff, it happens, but if the team had explained when we arrived rather than us chasing it would have been a better experience. The mini game was a piece of paper on the table for us to do individually not as a group, not a great start as everyone focused on that rather than each other (we are a competitive lot!). The afternoon tea was cold, straight out of the fridge and looked like it had been made the night before, a poor selection and the group only ate half of what was on offer. We had to chase every drink down so did not feel like a boozy afternoon tea. And the room was very cold. A disappointing experience, I would not recommend.

Was a fun yet challenging experience. The staff stay in character the entire time which elevates the fun. This is the second time around. Last time ut was the Sherlock Experience - this time it was the Mind of Moriarty.

I booked this with my daughter for birthday. We were joined with another couple to complete the game. It was great to meet new people and we even ended up having a McDs together afterwards! There were 3 rooms and the tasks were pitched well. We did it all with a minute to spare! We really enjoyed it, the staff were great fun and we loved the videos with the Sherlock actors

I booked this with my daughter. We were allocated to a team with another couple who were lovely. We loved the build up and the fact that the real tv characters do the videos. The puzzles were quite tough but we were given hints when we needed them. We loved it and would definitely do it again.

We've been to a couple escape rooms, and the really good ones have a combination of good, attentive staff, and creative clues. This had the latter, but the staff wasn't that great.
We got stuck on one light switch clue for nearly 25 minutes, and it meant that we couldn't do a whole lot of the experience. The staff could have recognized where we were missing the clue and given us a better hint to keep us moving. They kept repeating the same thing, which we clearly weren't picking up.
And at the end, they're pushy toward merch, which I didn't think was in good taste.

Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry to hear that there was a problem during your experience. We have had nothing but positive feedback on our staff in the past, and are sad to hear you have had a problem here.
We maintain very high standards for our games and staff, as you can see from our numerous excellent reviews, so will investigate this as a matter of urgency so that future customers have no issue with hints.
If you would like to discuss this any further, please do send us an email.
Thanks again,
Team Sherlock.

Great puzzles to solve. Narrated by actors from the Sherlock Holmes series made it feel authentic. Interesting themed pub to experience. You don’t have to be a Sherlock fan to enjoy it but if you are I would definitely recommend.

A must visit for Sherlock fans and escape room fanatics alike. The staff were incredibly friendly and the escape room itself was the best I've ever been too !

Could we play the live experience followed by The Case of the Poisoned Chalice or is that overkill?

Our speakeasy cocktail bar, The Mind Palace, is perfect for pizza and drinks before or after your experience!
We are only three person. Is there any way to take part?
We also could pay four tickets.

The game is designed for 4-6 players, however, if you have less than four people you can still purchase tickets but please note that you may be grouped up with other players.

The game requires a basic level of English comprehension, you do not need to be fluent, but you must be able to read and speak English to a good standard.
