Did the Sherlock Holmes Challenge and had a fun time (we were very lucky to have good weather)! Definitely a new and interesting way to see the city and explore its sights. The puzzles were fun, especially if you've done escape rooms before. Our host, Sabi, was very helpful, and definitely knew of any hiccups that might occur since it's a living/changing city. Overall, a fun 2-3hr activity!! Thank you!!

Great experience overall. Be prepared for a lot of walking and some really tricky puzzles. Text clues came really fast once requested. Saw bits of Edinburgh we didn't know existed. Would definitely do one again.

Loved this Sherlock-themed treasure hunt in Edinburgh! Super fun and clever challenge — great way to explore the city with a mystery twist. Highly recommended!

Excellent activity for a group! The puzzles were very good and took brainpower not guesswork to unravel. Took us 2.5 hours-ish and we got some exercise and learnt a bit on the way round and at the end

Great fun! We did the Sherlock hunt and it was really good. The clues were well put together and the bag of props was great. A good walk around working out the clues to get to the next part. Worth doing, allow three hours.
