#sherlock escape room

[cringelock]

has anyone else noticed that what was previously 221b on instagram is now sherlock.escaperooms? this says to me that there was some quibble over use of the 221b brand on social media. this is…certainly a good sign, no?

Interesting that the “The Game is Now” escape room Instagram has now moved to a different @ Sherlock.escaperooms

presumably archiving the 221b user name for something else. 👀

#which could mean nothing

as a side-note, that last upload is about the official sherlock escape rooms in london and it’s bringing me very close to a poor financial decision (paying over 100 quid for a train ticket)

finding the sherlock youtube channel and seeing that the last upload is from 5 years ago was a punch to the gut

presented for your enjoyment: a full transcript of the sherlock official escape room! hustle 💜 loyalty 💜 respect 💜

Played an escape room game last night.

'The Disappearance of Sherlock Holmes'

It's starts with a letter from Sherlock to Dr. Watson. Fun one, but 2 riddles were annoyingly difficult. Solved it, but it took us 210 minutes. 😅

Sometimes a man is just a silly little computer virus infecting the very fabric of the narrative.

what's ur favorite bmc fanfic ever

OOOH okay this is a good question.

Ngl I don't think I could give you a solid "here is the one (1) best fic ever" so here's a whole bunch that I've rated 5 stars in my fic document!

Stammer - Excellent 100k fic, if you're looking for something long. Basically it explores Jeremy and Michael's relationship from when they were kids til a bit after the events of the musical. Really good character piece <3

Jeremy drops out of college during December of his freshman year - REALLY REALLY GOOD fic-- one of my favorites from Beth Harker. Basically Jeremy undergoes a lot of panic attacks and self hatred (some brought on by what remains of the Squip) as he and Michael go to college together. About 10k words.

in the back of my brain, the voices all sound the same - Pretty short ~1k fic that explores the idea of the Squip changing shape into things like Jeremy himself. Forever thinking about the implications.

Play it in Reverse - Really cool podfic that brings in the musical aspect of bmc and acknowledges it! With the Squip's help, Jeremy tries to fix the events of the musical by changing the lyrics. About an hour to fully listen to.

flesh & bone - AU where Jeremy is an android and the Squip Squad find him and repair him. LOVE the dynamic of everyone in this fic, but it's unfortunately unfinished. About 40k words and still worth a read despite this.

Loaded, Recoded, Unsorted - Ngl I think this was the first ever bmc fic I read?? Anyways, it still lasts in my brain despite being unfinished with about 15k words in total. Basically, Michael slowly becomes a squip with all the fun psychological horror that comes with that. Honestly if you like this I'd recommend checking out more of Nez's work. Excellent squip horror writer.

The Mechanics of Compromise - Ngl pretty much everyone I've come across has read this fic and it shouldn't be a surprise that its on this list. Absolutely adore how they handle everyone's dynamics and manage to create a really fun plot as everyone recovers from the events of the musical. Another really good 100k+ fic.

Only One Is Mine - Holy shit this fic is almost coming up on 100k words. Anyways this fic is so so so good. Basically it deals with the rising squipocalypse after the musical as Jeremy accidentally fuses with his squip and has to learn what it means to be half human, half supercomputer. LOVE this concept so much and love how its handled. Honestly one of my all time favorite fics in general-- really cool stuff!! Shoutout to Jordan fr <3

Honorable mentions:

Ophiocordyceps nippon - TRAGICALLY short fic that meant i actually rated it only 4 stars but I thought I'd share because I am still thinking about it. Basically what if the Squip was a fungus.

Same As It's Always Been - I've only read 2 chapters, since it was coming out at the time I was reading it, but its finished now!! I really enjoyed what it was when it was coming out, so I'm sure it's still a good read. Basically Rich is forced to repeat Halloween Night-- time loop style.

OHHHHH MY GODS THEY TOOK HIM TO AN ESCAPE ROOM.

of COURSE they did. and of *course* he just sped right through it. FUCK this is so cute!!!

[c0gito]

mfw sherlock is literally torturing a man in the cardboard box but he’s so cute and pretty so it’s ok 😍

[flourmelon]

I really want to see an ep where Sherlock just breezes through ten escape rooms like in The Cardboard Box.

Puzzle 42: Exit The Game:

The Disappearance of Sherlock Holmes

Created by Kosmos

Puzzle Classification: Murder Mystery

Difficulty Level: 3/5

Price: ~$15

Review:

Ooooooooh, man.

I failed miserably. So, bad I didn't even solve/complete the crime.

Now, even though I lost - I did find this to be a nice challenge.

The storyline was cool and the elements of solving the "locks" was unique.

My only knocks on the game was the quality of materials/paper products... but for $15 you definitely get your money's worth.

As well, I always hate having to destroy/purposely damage items for in game functionality.

The puzzles/locks - for myself - was troublesome (I heavily used the hints/clues) and they were somewhat time consuming but I wouldn't necessarily say that is a negative. At most, I would say this is a testament to playing with a set friends.

In the end, I was deflated from failing but I did get a very enjoyable experience. I would still recommend.

Completion Time:

Did NOT Complete

Hints/Clues Used: (6)

Items Not Included / Needed:

Pen & Paper

Personal Rating: 7/10

FAIL:

2024 Puzzle Record: 36/42

Happy birthday!

Do you ever watch murder mysteries or play escape room style games if you're bored?

Thank you. I do watch murder mysteries but mostly to yell at them that they are wrong and stupid. I have escaped many rooms before, but not played it as some kind of game before, although it was entertaining sometimes, even if life-threatening.

[moriartyyouwhore]

if TikTok would KINDLY stop giving me the Sherlock advert that keeps convincing me that in the year of our lord 2024 they’re gonna do the one thing worse than more supernatural,,, I’d like really appreciate that
