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.
  • Instructions and backpack with materials and puzzles
  • 19th century map of Edinburgh

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.
