The puzzles are similar to those you would find in an escape room. Instead of escaping a room you will be working through the story of Arthur Conan Doyle's time in Edinburgh, learning some interesting tidbits along the way.
We are different to most other treasure hunts because we provide a physical bag and the entire game is played using a combination of objects along with permanent features of the city.
You will only need your phone to contact the game master if you're stuck or need help.
This is a small business and a work of passion created by some local tour guides that love games.

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.
