The story

A MURDER. AN IMPOSSIBLE SUSPECT.

London, 1896. A desperate letter arrives at 221B Baker Street. A woman stands accused of murder, but insists she is innocent. Her extraordinary claim? The killer was a ghost.

Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson are drawn into a sinister investigation that leads them through the shadowy streets of Victorian London, where nothing is quite as it seems.

Step into the detectives' shoes, examine the evidence, solve the puzzles and follow the clues as your team pieces together the truth.

Can you solve a murder that defies all logic?

Frequently asked questions

Just one purchase covers your whole team! We recommend 2–6 players for the best experience, but you can also play solo. Gather your friends or family and get ready to solve the mystery together.

You can send a message and decide on what day and time the card will arrive. Easy peasy.

Our gift cards can be redeemed against any of our games or bundles, so they can pick the adventure that suits them best.

We've given our games a PG-13, meaning there's no violence, adult themes, or gory scenes.

The puzzles can be quite challenging, even for grown-ups, so we always recommend children play with an adult on hand who can provide guidance.

Hallows Hill* is more on the spooky side than outright scary, so should be no problem for kids who won't be unsettled by a ghostly tale or a bit of a jump scare.

However, we've had many escapees from 11+ and hundreds of great reviews from families who've played together. Our Trustpilot page is a good place to get the lowdown direct from players!

*Please note that Hallows Hill contains references to historical practices of Spiritualism and features a section involving a Ouija board.

No downloads needed! Our games run directly in your web browser.

All you need is a laptop or desktop computer and an internet connection!

Your code will not expire until you complete your escape so you can buy now, and can start the game whenever you are ready.

You can even play across multiple sessions and the game will save your progress. There's absolutely no time limit so take as long as you need.

Absolutely! Our games are brilliant for work teams - whether you’re planning a small team social, a big company-wide event, or just fancy swapping another Zoom call for something a little more exciting.

We offer dedicated Team Events packages with flexible setup options and discounts for larger groups. You can find all the details on our Team Events page.

If you’d like a hand choosing the right game, working out numbers, or cooking up something extra special for your team, just send us an enquiry - we’re always happy to help you plan a cracking event.
