A new Sherlock-themed escape room is opening in London.
Come October, fans of BBC One’s hit series Sherlock will have the chance to become immersed in the new live experience Sherlock: The Game is Now. The experience is a wholly immersive escape room which recreates famous scenes from the series and puts you in the role of detective.
The concept of the escape room is that Sherlock has suddenly disappeared and his allies have recruited you to help find him in order to bring down his enemies. The experience will include video messages from the Sherlock cast and will last for 90 minutes.
In order to win, you will have to solve puzzles and complete challenges in a group. The story underlying the escape room was penned by Sherlock writers Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss alongside producer Sue Vertue.
“Suddenly YOU are in Sherlock’s shoes,” Josh Ford teased. “We’re going to empower you to think like Sherlock and be the hero in your own real-life episode of the TV series.”
“We can’t wait to try out these brilliant, mind-bending puzzles and (try to) prove we know what we’re talking about,” the writers joked.
“Helping out Sherlock on an actual case is what we always dreamed of doing and now is our chance – even if he doesn’t want idiots as colleagues!”
