Quick Details
Want to solve crimes like Sherlock? Don your deerstalker and step into the immersive world of the exuberant detective. Sherlock has gone AWOL and London has been troubled by a spate of break-ins across the city. Mycroft has put out a call for volunteers that can step in to the Sherlock’s shoes and solve the crimes and save London!
For 100 minutes you will travel through iconic sets from the award-winning TV show, cleverly curated by the Sherlock creators Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss. In your teams of 2 to 6 people you’ll move through Sherlock’s world, picking up clues from Benedict Cumberbatch, Martin Freeman and Andrew Scott in brand new and specially recorded video and audio sequences.
Once you’ve solved the crime and won the respect of Sherlock Holmes himself, reward yourself in the secret Mind Palace or by a halal afternoon tea!
This highly curated experience is a must for any Sherlock Holmes fan, or those of you looking for an alternative evening of fun.
The entrance to the Sherlock: The Official Live Game is through the entrance to the fictional Doyle’s Opticians – No your eyes do not deceive you!

It’s Time for Your Check-Up…
Recruit,
Your training is about to commence: you are to meet your handler at a local optician’s premises – named Doyle’s.
Surprised? Hm. You know better than that – or at least you should do. If anyone asks, you are here for a “routine examination.” Trust no-one.
Arrive at Doyle’s Opticians, Ground Floor, W12 Shopping Centre, Shepherd’s Bush, London W12 8PP, a few minutes before your appointment. If you are late, you will not be admitted.
Bring your appointment details on your mobile device along with a recent form of ID. Understood? Good. However, there are a number of cardinal rules that are essential to your survival. Ignore them at your peril:
1) Do Not Be Late. Punctuality is essential. If you are late, you will miss your training session. Arrive a few minutes before your appointment, ready to ring the doorbell to Doyle’s Opticians at your exact time.
2) Make Use of the Facilities Beforehand. Opposite the entrance to Doyle’s, there are lavatories. Use them before your appointment. Soiling yourself is no joke.
3) Dress Appropriately. Dress in comfortable clothing, with appropriate footwear. High heels do not fit this brief: they are pointless.
4) Remember Your Manners. If you are aggressive or abusive, we will terminate your mission immediately. You are here to serve the nation. Act like it.
5) Drinking and drugs Is Prohibited. If we detect that you are in any way intoxicated or under the influence of drugs, for your safety and ours, you will not be admitted.
After the mission however, we invite you to join us at our secret member’s club The Mind Palace for our selection of Sherlock inspired drinks. To ensure a table on arrival, please book “an appointment” via Doyle’s Opticians for 100 minutes after your game booking. After all, saving the world can be thirsty work.
6) Be Ready To Sign Away Your Rights. Your training will no doubt lead you into numerous perilous circumstances – and so you will be asked to sign our waiver. If members of your team are under the age of 18, please ensure there is a responsible adult present to sign on their behalf.
Please share this information with your fellow recruits. It is essential that you are all on the same page – metaphorically, of course.
The obvious questions are all answered in our training manual here. For less obvious questions, reply to this email. If you are having issues on the day of your booking, please call this number: 07701 384464.
Prepared? Good. I look forward to observing your training. Oh, and do try not to worry: I doubt anything will happen to you on your first escapade, it’ll be a delight, I’m sure.
Yours,
Mycroft Holmes
