Inside the detective's study

Two players reading clues in red armchairs in the detective escape room

The room takes you back to the age of Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot: red armchairs, old books, keys and locks, and a study full of things that are not quite what they seem. You play the detective. Find the evidence, follow the clues from one hiding place to the next and solve the riddles before the hour runs out.

There are no actors and nothing scary, the room is well lit and you can leave at any time. You need sharp eyes, logic and good teamwork, not special knowledge, which makes it a good first escape room. It also works for families: children from 12 can play on their own, and from 8 with a parent. 3KEY suggests this room for pregnant women too, as the game is calm and has no physical tests.

Bigger groups, up to 12 players at once

The MaTRICK is at the same address, so a group of up to 12 can split into two teams of six and play both rooms at the same time. 3KEY then sets one start time between the two rooms’ schedules, so everyone begins together and you compare times at the end. With BOOM! Room a few minutes down the boulevard, up to 17 people can play at once. It works well for a birthday, an office team or a family day out. Tell us the total number of people and we arrange it with 3KEY.
