If you have attempted escape games in other cities, be warned that the Sherlock room does not hold up to other well designed, complex, non-stop code breaking rooms. I was excited to take my mother who loves mystery and detective novels into a "real" escape experience after visiting one in Reno and the Las Vegas theme of Sherlock was perfect, not horror but good old fashion detective work.
I thought it was odd that the room maxed out at 10, most escape rooms hold 6 people and are relatively small. I thought with a large party size there would be so many clues to break that you would need a large group to escape- wrong deductive reasoning! The room was still small, we were tripping over each other and there were so few clues to discover that at least 4 of the 10 did not really have a chance to "break any clues" because the puzzles were solved quickly by others on a first attempt.
The lack of a backstory was a let down, we had no "reason" to break out nor any scenario to explain why we were trapped in the room. The one positive was that we were not given clues unless we wanted them (some escape rooms are so precise one mistake is the difference between escaping or not so they feed you a lot of unrequested clues) and aside from the one malfunctioning contraption that required outside help to "release" we escaped the room using only one "clue" and with 16 min left.
