About the escape room

The year is 1888, and a body has been found in a gutter. A justice-seeking mob has decided that you and your friends are to blame. If you don’t clear your name quickly, they will find you and put a swift end to your lives. However, a strange man named Dr. Henry Jekyll (and his partner in crime, Edward Hyde) claim to have the truth hidden away within their laboratory.

Will you find the answers you seek in time, or will the mobs of London find you first…?

Note: This room does not contain a live actor.

AI Overview

AIPlayers repeatedly call it very hard and short on time, with several mentioning a low escape rate. Pairing with strangers can derail the experience when groups don’t mesh. Game master support ranges from kind and flexible to slow or unhelpful, and a few puzzles feel finicky or unclear. Despite that, many still found the build decent and the theme engaging.

WeaknessesSteep difficulty and slow-to-arrive hints leave teams spinning their wheels. Being grouped with random players can cause chaos and crowding. A couple of puzzles draw complaints about ambiguity and at least one lock seeming out of calibration.

StrengthsAtmospheric 1888 London vibe and a clear, high-stakes story hook. Some game masters go the extra mile, even granting a little overtime when teams are close.

SecurityNo live scares and minimal physicality beyond searching and handling props. Standard briefing applies; if you’re grouped with other parties, expect a busy space rather than any safety concerns.

Level of fearDark theme, but players say it isn’t actually scary. Fine for families and teens who don’t mind intensity without jump-scares.

Actors' gameThere’s no live actor in this room. Interaction is through the game master, with mixed feedback on promptness and usefulness of hints.

Quality of riddlesClever in places but often unintuitive without nudges, with reports of a few answers not cleanly translating to locks. At least one team suspected a mis-set lock. Expect logic-forward, time-consuming sequences that can bottleneck larger groups.

PlotClear your name by unearthing the truth in Dr. Jekyll’s lab before the London mob closes in. The narrative keeps the urgency up without relying on startle tactics.

Difficulty levelHigh difficulty with tight timing, best for experienced players or strong communicators. Newcomers may enjoy the theme but will likely need frequent hints.
