What travelers are saying
- CC1994London, UK2 contributionsWe did the prophecy escape room & Beck was our game master! Fantastic time, well thought out room which kept us thinking (we did need some clues!). Finished with 3 seconds to go!
We did the potion making after, great fun and lovely cocktails.

Superb help from GamesMaster Ellie, well timed hints that kept everything moving along.Written December 2, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Katrina L7 contributionsGreat location and escape room and effects were spot on. We really enjoyed trying to crack Machina- close but not quite. Thanks to Stephen for his warm welcome and introduction to escape rooms.

- June WLuton, UK15 contributionsWe have done many escape rooms but this is one of the best we have done. You have to solve a murder so it's more about following clues and eliminating suspects. The staff were brilliant and entertaining. The 8 of us had a fantastic time. Looking forward to our next visit and another murder.Written December 9, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Alex7 contributionsI’d done the Operation Odyssey room just over a year ago and was so pleased I came back to do Spellbound. I’ve done ~30 rooms so far (not an expert, just enthusiastic!), and my partner only 3, but we both found that we were putting in equal work, so not to worry if you’re either a more experienced escapee or a beginner team, the room will absolutely cater to all manner of teams and you will not be left wanting.
The room itself was wonderfully decorated so as to be on theme but not distracting in the background, and gameplay wise everything flowed together very well. The puzzles here have a good balance of your traditional hidden codes/logic puzzles, and some wonderful creative puzzles/different uses of common props I’ve actually never encountered before!
Above all the room was just straight up FUN, you are able to enjoy the fantastical and are never labouring over something unnecessarily long or complex, which can sometimes happen in non-linear rooms like the ones provided here.
Our Games Master Emily was lovely and energetic right from coming in the door, and provided helpful clues with excellent timing (some places I’ve been can get rather spoonfeed-y, but not here!) Very hospitable and a charming dragon during our quest to find Ye Olde Xbox Symbols.Written December 10, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

These kind of experiences really allow team building and effective communication and it’s just so much fun to have this kind of challenge. It was our first experience and it will certainly not be our last. The next time we come back to Edinburgh, we will definitely book this experience again to try another room! Rosie was SO helpful and a wonderful host for us. It was an absolute blast and if you’ve never done an escape room but are considering it, do it!

Tyler was amazing and made the experience even better 🎃 Would definitely come again and recommend to friendsWritten October 31, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Patti T1 contributionThis was a fun scavenger hunt app that took us to some parts of Edinburgh's Royal Mile that we might have missed otherwise. We learned some random things, followed some fun clues, and it was a fun way to explore the city! One suggestion is to bring a spare power bank, just in case.Written April 12, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- John W2 contributionsTour (Jack) was great and quite knowledgeable on the Conan Doyle/Sherlock Holmes tour. We had a short snafu on the initial meet up, but it was quickly remedied.
Definitely a must do for any Sherlock Holmes fanWritten September 23, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
