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.

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.

Had a lot of fun today at tortuga pirates escape room. David our game master was excellent and we managed to escape with 59 secs to go- cutting it fine! But a very enjoyable experience as it always is. 😊
