Deacon's Cabinet may be the best escape room (out of over fifty) I've done. It's only one room, but it feels almost alive, with how much they packed into it.

Hats off to Beth, who got us into the spirit with some top notch acting.

Description:

It's October 1788, and as the city assembles to witness the hanging of a thief, you have other ideas… ‍

For Deacon Brodie is no common criminal - master craftsman and pillar of the establishment - his crimes and double life are only now beginning to emerge. ‍

Unfazed, you use the grim spectacle as cover to sneak into the Deacon’s workshop in search of an ill-gotten fortune. What treasures must lie within his infamous cabinet? The authorities failed to unlock its secrets… can you?

This historical heist escape room will challenge your team to uncover the enthralling tale of Edinburgh’s favourite villain and the real-life inspiration for Jekyll & Hyde.

Escape the Past is our favourite escape room in Edinburgh! We loved the historical details and little touches that made it feel extra atmospheric! We did the Deacon Brodie one this time and it was so enjoyable, thanks to Beth and Julia for making it so fun! We hope they can add a third room one day!

Clearly a lot of thought and attention has gone into the new room, was good fun and lots of fresh ideas as well which made the experience that much more enjoyable.

We did the Anatomist yesterday and immediately booked for Deacon’s Cabinet today and can highly recommend both, Beth our gamesmaster was amazing, and both rooms have so much thought and attention to them.
