Neighborhood: Eixample
Passing through the glorious Plaça Catalunya, you enter the newer city district of Eixample, literally translated as “extension,” which immediately becomes recognizable by its more spacious streets and elegant atmosphere. The main artery of this sizable district, Passeig de Gracia, is lined with high-end international designer stores. Not to be outdone, the glitz and glamour of this zone is perhaps best exemplified by the comfortable and lavish five-star hotels that flank the divine and modernistic buildings from some of the world’s most recognized architects such as Gaudi and Montaner.

- Vít Š1 contributionA great experienceA great experience (the Sherlock Holmes game) for me and two kids 12 and 14 years old. Actually never been to such a good escape game - feels more like to be in a movie. Plus, the gamemaster follows you around with cameras the whole way through, and if you can't progress any further, he'll give you a hint (if you want) so the game doesn't lose momentum.Thank you very much for your review!

- natalie5994Bournemouth, United Kingdom28 contributionsExcellentWhile in Barcelona we tried the Sherlock themed room, our games master Felipe was excellent and really set the scene perfectly. The set was really great and the game itself had some unique puzzles. As English speaking players it really helped that the GM spoke impeccable English and the game itself wasn’t altered by whichever language you speak.Thank you very much for your review!

If I could give less, I would.
We spent about 20 min shouting and calling for help or clues, nobody listen or even looked at us at the cameras. After about 25 min they came inside and gave us the key, because there was a problem with the room. 10 min later, at a different spot, they asked us to spin the wheel faster and faster until it fall on one of the participant’s leg! Of course, they didn’t know that, because they weren’t lookin, again.
We ended the game with feelings of disappointment and pain.
Most of us have done many rooms before, but this is the first time ever that we injured in one.
I recommend to anyone who want to stay safe and healthy-don’t go to any of their rooms.

Hello, good morning.
While we always appreciate feedback, we regret that many of the things you mention are not true. First of all, we apologize if the room was not to your liking, we understand that each client has different tastes.
As for the clues, each room has a different timing, as we indicated before starting, whenever you ask for help, the Game Master will decide whether to give it to you or not, in case you have enough time, we let you think a little more. At no time you have been left 25 minutes without help, as you have indicated. There is no clock inside the room, so it is impossible for you to know the real time.
Regarding the test in which you supposedly got hurt, our game has been open for more than 7 years and we have never had any problem related to that enigma. We apologize if you really dropped an object on your foot, but we really cannot be held responsible for that, as that can happen to you with any everyday object and it was a human error on your part, even though you decided to finish the game and our staff did not charge you. As stated in the authorization you signed when you entered, if the players decide to finish the game the amount of the game must be made, in that case we made an exception and that shows that our staff did everything possible to be able to help you, even though you have made an uncertain comment about our company. Every day we work to offer the best possible service and criticisms like this make us take steps backwards, we ask you to rectify the comment and that it really is a constructive opinion, even if it is still negative.
Thank you very much,
Eric

After having done other rooms in the Maximum franchise, this has been by far the worst and most disappointing, and goes directly into the fight for the position of worst room of all time. I'll start at the beginning... Do you know those rooms where a person dressed in street clothes greets you and explains the rules and so on, and you get upset because there is no immersive intro? Here you will have this. It is even worse when the person has little people skills or shows little empathy with the group. And much worse still when that same person picks up the signature sheet, goes into a room and instantly returns characterized and transformed into a crazy witch, that you are left thinking "what happened here?". The room itself could be good, because the idea of the Harry Potter theme (without violating copyright) is not bad, but it is small and with little more than simple tests. The same beginning with an immersive intro and a little more love from the game master would greatly change the initial bad taste in the mouth. After some simple tests, with claims of spectacularity, and observing that it is one of the smallest rooms we have visited (and also one of the most expensive), we left through the final door in just over 30 minutes. We didn't know if it was over or whether it was still going on, because we didn't see anyone until another game master from another room appeared and asked us how we had gotten out already...
That's something else! Apart from the non-immersive intro, there is nothing that bothers you more than being in a room with a specific theme, and from inside the room hearing laughter/screams from other rooms that are in the same place... HORRIBLE! . To finish off, and despite having more than enough
almost half an hour (that is, 50% of the paid time, at a rate of more than €115 per hour), the game master takes our photo, and kindly accompanies us to the fucking street, without even trying to give us some conversation to fill that paid time that we couldn't enjoy. Very poorly done after telling the game master directly that the room had seemed very short to us, and seeing the stupid look on our faces when we left the room (a very bad ending to the room, too, by the way). ). In short, an expensive, pretentious room that leaves much to be desired in almost all aspects. Money poorly invested in a room that I have to recommend that you do not go to, because it is not worth what it costs.

Buenas, como te hemos comentado en la reseña (prácticamente identica) que has dejado en Google,
Primero de todo, gracias por dedicar un tiempo a hacer este comentario, aunque si me gustaría pedirte que eliminaras o modificaras los spoilers, que como bien dices tú mismo, describes para no fastidiar la experiencia del juego a otros escapistas.
En cuanto a los comentarios, Maximum tiene una larga trayectoria en cuanto a su manera de funcionar, y siempre se dan las normas antes de la introducción para, justamente, no fastidiar esta y que como jugador te metas en el papel una vez ya sabes las reglas.
Además, Prisioneros de Alkaban, es una de nuestras salas más míticas, más tradicionales y también más pequeña, aunque adaptada para que su público objetivo disfrute de la experiencia al 100% además de que logre salir a tiempo (imprescindible para nosotros que todos los equipos logren salir, aunque requieran de tiempo extra), y no sientan un juego vacío.
Por lo que explicas, tal vez se os he hecho demasiado sencilla la sala, para ello te recomendaría juegos como Refugio 27, donde la dificultad aumenta considerablemente.
Finalmente, otros aspectos que has mencionado, como la inmersión final, la sonorización y demás, no dudes de que los tendremos en cuenta y trataremos de todas las maneras de mejorarlo para que la experiencia de los jugadores sea de 10.

We just played Sherlock. The host was arrogant, he followed his script obviously, but did not think or did not try to welcome us. At the end of the game he did not ask how the game was, any feedback, he did not offer any rooms in their network or discount for them, he hid in his room and we after waiting a while just walked out ... The room was also cheap!! Overall we paid 70€ just for low quality room + low quality experience. I must add that we have visited over 40 room and we have a room in Sofia, Bulgaria... And I cannot even start to compare the quality..

Hello,
Thank you for posting a review although we are very disappointed that many parts are not true.
First of all, our Game Masters always welcome the players, offer them water, toilets and an authorization to fill in. After that they explain the rules of the game in a comical and entertaining way. At the end of the experience the Game Master takes a picture of the players and accompanies them to the hall, where the clients collect their things while we send them the picture and at the end they are dismissed. In no case are exceptions made and much less has it been the case that a group receives neither welcome nor farewell.
Regarding the experience, each player has different tastes and we understand that you may have liked it more or less, we can only say that "Sherlock" is one of our most played rooms and one of the most loved by our customers. In Maximum we take care of the ambience of the rooms in detail and each room has a totally different theme. We think this comment is very unfair, especially considering that you are owners of other Escape Rooms, since you know perfectly well the work behind each room and how harmful opinions like yours are.
Thank you.

There were 4 of us and we did Sherlock Holmes. It should be noted that the atmosphere is a 10.
For my taste it was a very quick escape room to make, I would give some more tests.
It's my sixth room and I have to say that it's the weakest one I've ever done, it tastes bad but that's how it is.
The GM is very good, dedicated and eager to make people have a good time. As a recommendation, if there was another extra besides the GM, I think it would improve the experience because at some point it was needed.
In short, it is worth doing yes, but for €20, I think €31.5 per person is crazy for the escape room they offer.
We also had a great time, but when we left there was a feeling that we had been missing something to fully enjoy it.

Good escape (Prisoner of Alkaban), easy if you already have some experience, but fun because of a very good setting. It was a little short, but we had a good time 😊
As a suggestion I would specify that you have to crawl and get out through a "window", therefore, some agility is needed. Also, there is no elevator and you have to go up and down stairs to access the escape room, which is important for people with reduced mobility. Finally, the bars in the room should be wider in case large people come, I have passed very tight and it has been uncomfortable.
In short, it has been a good experience, but it is not for people who already have experience doing escapes, it is an easy level. I would recommend it for families or novices (be careful, there are some small substitutes, nothing strong, but in case very young children go)

Prisoners of Alkaban was a genuinely great adventure that we enjoyed beyond our expectations.
Firstly, the atmosphere is thrilling, enhanced by the roleplaying of our gamemasters Aida and Oriol why was excellent. But after that, the puzzles where very innovative and smooth, why is refreshing for a group like us that are used to escape rooms. What we particularly enjoyed was the diversity of puzzle types, ranged from dexterity to pure reflexion.
Anyway, the Maximum Escape house did an awesome job on this room and we enjoyed it so much we booked two other games the same week. Dive in without hesitation !

My partner and I escaped from Prisoners of Azkaban and had a great time! The rooms are super well decorated and our Game Master María did it perfectly, helping us when we got stuck but without giving us the solution. Without a doubt one of the best scapes I have made, it is not the typical padlock scape, the tests are super imaginative and very diverse! we loved it!

Ulysses is more of a “guided adventure” than an escape room, since you don’t really have the autonomy to go looking around for clues and deciding on the next steps. You just go along for the ride, deal with problems as they come up, and have a laugh interacting with the AI of your spaceship. I’d recommend this room to people who enjoy the roleplaying aspect of escape rooms.

Great experience! Our game master was Ruy, who truly outdid himself to make our Prisoner of Alcaban experience memorable and fun. Hands down, the best escape room we’ve ever done. Well done Ruy!

Maximum Escape is one of the best escape rooms in Barcelona without a doubt. They are very well prepared adventures, very careful puzzles and scenarios and very well laid out stories.
This time we did Sherlock Holmes (we had already done Prisoners of Alkaban) with the game master Sara, a crack! He made us have fun, we had some scares, but we always enjoyed ourselves at all times in the cold London, and solving a case that not even Sherlock himself could finish.

Los que han hecho Sherlock...hay quien dice que no es apto para miedosos. Es que hay zombies/fantasmas/cadáveres saltando/actores que te asustan por detrás? Quería ir a hacer Sherlock con unos amigos, pero pagar por sufrir....XD. No se si alguien ha hecho el escape de Alien Orígenes en Barcelona (es el único que he hecho por el momento y con el que puedo comparar...), da más o menos miedo que ese? Gracias por la ayuda.

No es de miedo, pero si hay algún susto que no te esperas. Hay una parte oscura, que para los que no les va la oscuridad quizá no sea recomendable.
