📖 THE STORY

Imagine walking into your office one morning to find a dead body. Well, that’s what happened to James Murdoch PI today, and although he has no idea who it is and swears he didn’t do it, he has been arrested for the murder.

Could this have something to do with a case he is investigating at the moment? Was he close to finding out the truth? Perhaps he is being framed in order to stop him from solving the case.

You are a team of investigators who need to search the office, collect the evidence and discover the real perpetrator and clear James’ name, before the police and forensics clear the site and declare it a closed case.

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

• This is a traditional search and puzzle, office-themed Escape room, with beautifully lavish decoration, interesting and authentic props and plenty of hiding places.

• The puzzles are logical, with a good level of complexity and a nice mix of logic, physical, hidden object and code-based types.

• As well as the searching and puzzling you need to make deductions and announce the correct culprit in order to save the day!

• Kept us busy for almost the full hour, but never felt slow or uncertain.
  

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

• Nothing to report!
  

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

As one of the first, if not the first, escape rooms in the country, this room has been taken from its original location in London, loving restored and tweaked in Coalville style and kept alive. Those who have played the original should find there is enough difference to make it replay-able. If you’re fond of murder mysteries, detective stories, or just can’t resist lying down in the chalk outline of a body, then this is a must-do!

ℹ️ ADDITIONAL INFO

• The venue has multiple physical rooms, portable escape games and even a puzzle-hunt around the local area, so you could easily spend all day here enjoying what they have to offer.

• And if that’s still not enough they have a range of online games to play!

• On a high-street so no immediate parking but the shopping centre has very affordable car-parks within a few minutes walk.
