This puzzle game was quite challenging! We enjoyed the format of the game and the sights along the way. Our Consultant Sabi was quite helpful!

It was really fun, quite challenging especially as there was only two of us, however we were able to get hints and had a really good day exploring the city. They also sent us some recommendations of where to go next once we had finished, which was really nice. Thank you!

Great fun, even for a bunch of complete newbies like us. We were right in thinking, though it was always about good observation skill. Definitely recommended - though good weather is a preferred companion.

The puzzles were the perfect amount of difficulty for us. We love escape rooms and we love puzzles. But it turns out there’s a lot more. You get to walk through a lot of the city and learn about Sherlock and Conan Doyle! We found lots of quirks about Edinburgh that we would have otherwise missed

It was kind of fun but very frustrating as we had a hard time figuring things out and had to constantly contact our point person. We were told it would take 2-3 hours. We thought we had plenty of time before our next activity. 5 hours later we had to give up where we were and missed our next activity. Definitely made me feel stupid and incompetent and I have a bachelors degree.

Absolutely amazing experience! I've seen the poster a few times on previous trips to Edinburgh and finally tried a challenge as a birthday gift/activity for my Mother with my Brother and fiancée (locals). Fantastic way to show my Mum the city with really clever and enjoyable clues to crack along the way. We've done a few rooms before and there were still so many puzzles we haven't seen before which was fantastic. Sabi was amazing throughout, guiding when we needed without giving too much away so we didn't feel cheated. Can't wait to try the other challenges when we visit in future.

A wonderful experience from beginning to end! You will need at least 3 hours to complete the escape game.

We loved the Conan Doyle puzzle experience around Edinburgh. The puzzles were challenging but also accessible and opened up areas of the City that we had not seen before.

Excellent way to spend a few hours exploring the city. Certainly something "a little different" if that's what you're looking for.

One of my favorite tours of all time. The clues took us to many places we missed on the more mainstream tours that truly made our trip to Edinburgh. The clues were tough enough my husband and I felt pretty smart when we were done. I loved the little cards telling us more about the places we solved clues and felt like I learned a lot about famous Scots that I would have otherwise looked past. The storyline was surprisingly rich and touching, with the final solution being well worth the work to get there. I have a very different view of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Sherlock Holmes now. Two notes: the weather can really make or break this experience AND I walked more than I thought I would. It might be difficult for people with physical challenges.

I was hoping this wasn't a cheesy tour, and it delivered splendidly! The puzzles are fun, and the tour takes you to some interesting places the buses don't, and we left feeling like we had a new understanding of Arthur Conan Doyle and the inspiration behind the Sherlock Holmes character.

This is a great treasure hunt experience for a family. We did it with three adults and a teenager and finished in about 2 1/4 hours. There's quite a lot of walking so a good way to explore Edinburgh. Clues are not too challenging, especially if you've done this sort of thing before. We had to ask for help with one but then realised we were over-complicating it! Overall a great way to spend a morning.

We’ve liked the difficulty level, the clues were clever and made sense once you’ve figure them out. The walk has a good length, you don’t need to be particularly athletic to do it with ease. We’ll probably try another of the challenges on a future visit to Edinburgh.

This was such a blast! Great way to see the city, and if you’re at all a Sherlock Holmes fan, it’s just a fantastic way to get some insight into his history. The game organizers are very fun and kind, and helpful along the way (but not too helpful! Very important). I highly recommend this activity if you’re new to the city. It helps you get your bearings in a fun way! Feel free to stop for coffee or snacks along the tour, but keep in mind it’ll take you probably at least 3 hours 👍

This puzzle challenge was so so much fun! I worked through it with two friends and between the three of us we were able to successfully make it through all the challenges (with a few helpful hints 😅). It was so well organized and the time suggestion was accurate! Plus, it's a great way to tour some of the beautiful city 😄 I would recommend this activity to anyone and everyone with a few hours to spare in Edinburgh!

What an amazing experience! Sabi is a master in the art of puzzle making. Her Sherlock game was very well-paced, explored the intellectual and architectural history of Edinburgh, and revealed some of the most beautiful vistas in the city. Like a good Sherlock tale, the clues were clever and at times, very subtle. It made for some really exciting discoveries. Very reasonably priced; an excellent value. One of the highlights of our weeklong trip.

Very enjoyable, some tricky clues but fun to solve. Great way to see the city. Found some new parts of the city to explore another day.

We had a fantastic day. Really well thought out and planned. There were a few clues that really tested us until we stopped overthinking it. Also a great way to see different sights of the city.
