We want you to have an adventure that you will remember for a long time to come. If you have specific questions, check out the frequently asked questions.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the experience take?

Sherlock's Brain Fog takes 75 minutes. We expect you to arrive 15 minutes in advance, which is much nicer for you too. We also suggest keeping at least 15 minutes afterwards to talk about the experience a little more.

How physical is the experience?

Mild climbing and scrambling is required. Nothing extreme, but do wear something you can move in.

Is it wheelchair accessible?

Unfortunately not. Sherlock's Brain Fog is a narrow historic building with several flights of stairs, and this cannot be solved in any other way.

Is the experience scary?

No, our experience is not scary. Of course it is exciting. We believe that the excitement is exactly what makes you remember the experience for a long time.

Can I organise it as a team building activity?

Definitely. You can play with your colleagues and get to know each other in a new way. The room takes 2 to 6 players and a new group can start every 45 minutes, so larger groups can play one after another. For bigger groups, get in touch and we will find a way to make it work.

Toilet use during the experience

There is no toilet inside the experience. Next to the escape room is a bar, where you can use the toilet free of charge.

From what age is the experience playable?

We recommend playing from the age of 12. For children under the age of 16, an adult is required to play along with them.

Can it be kept secret as a surprise?

Yes, this can be kept secret, even until the experience has already begun. Please do not give us the name and email address of the person being surprised, and mention it as a remark when booking.
