The year is 1902 and Edward VII, Prince of Wales is to be crowned the King of England. However, a hidden network of republicans, spearheaded by Colonel Holtenberg, intends to overthrow the British Monarchy. The new rulers are waiting in the shadows and are planning a major European war. The Colonel has gotten hold of some intimate photographs of the Crown Prince in the company of the French actress Sarah Bernhardt. If the Crown Prince doesn’t cancel the coronation within 75 minutes, the Colonel will publish the photographs. No matter the turnout the British Monarchy and indeed the fate of the World are at stake!
To counter this threat, a team of British agents have been rushed to Colonel Holtenberg’s mansion in Denmark – and this is where you step into the picture. Your mission is to infiltrate the Colonel’s mansion and get a hold of the photographs within 75 minutes, to ensure that the scandal is averted.

This is a two hour room and I would have given this excellent (4 stars) as the puzzles are nice big juicy ones that you can get your teeth into, but the camerawork let this room down, the focusing was so slow and took several seconds to refocus, which meant that moving around was a constant blur. This was a complete shame as the decoration is very well produced and you want to see every item and every decoration., and blurry movement made some of the team feel alittle sick.
Some other lovely touches are the dressed in-character host and some lovely nods to the Sherlock mythology, including references to many of his more famous cases. Its definitely worth playing, but I'd give it a couple of week for them to work the camerawork kinks out.

If you ask for recommendations for Denmark, the name Midgaard is likely to come up. In what they claim to be the largest escape room facility in Europe, up to 96 people can play 16 rooms at the same time, which are divided into four themes. The flagship room is certainly Downfall, which also attracted attention this year with a 153rd place at Terpeca.
Another recommended room is Sherlock, which is offered in 2 options. Firstly, there is the 75′ minute variant, in which 6-12 players are divided into two teams, start at the same time in different rooms and have to reach their goal together. Cooperation and teamwork are the focus here. The second variant, which we played, is called Sherlock VIP. It is for 3-6 players, lasts 120 minutes and you play in all the rooms that the two teams would otherwise divide between them.
