Sherlock Holmes: an escape room in Riga for teams of up to seven

Sherlock Holmes is an escape room in Riga where up to seven people play as one team. Of the nine rooms at escaperoom.lv, it is the only one with space for seven, so a group of six or seven does not have to split up. The minimum age is 7, which means children, parents and grandparents can work on the case together.

This quest room suits:

• Families with children aged 7 and up. The medium difficulty works for a team where kids and adults play side by side. For more ideas for a day out with children, see things to do in Riga with kids.
• Groups of friends who are one or two over the usual limit. Most rooms take five players. Here, the sixth and seventh do not have to wait outside.
• Readers of detective fiction. If you know the stories about the detective from Baker Street, the study at 221B will feel familiar.
• Birthdays. A party group aged 7 and up can play as one team, as long as there are no more than seven of you.

Inside the Baker Street study: how the game works

The story begins in the study at 221B Baker Street. Mr Holmes has disappeared under mysterious circumstances, and your team plays his most trusted associates. Your task is to solve his last case.

The room is a candlelit Victorian study, furnished in detail. The work is detective work. You study clues, decipher messages and use the method of deduction to fit scattered facts into one picture.

A bigger team makes that work easy to share. One person examines the objects, another sits with a coded message, a third keeps track of what has already been found. With seven players, the roles tend to sort themselves out.

The game lasts 60 minutes. The difficulty is medium, so this escape game is a reasonable choice for a first visit as well as for teams who have played before.

Meierovica Boulevard 14: three more rooms at the same address

Sherlock Holmes is at Zigfrīda Annas Meierovica bulvāris 14 in Riga. Three other rooms share the address: the Harry Potter escape room from age 7, James Bond and the Bank Heist from age 10, and Journey to Soviet Riga from age 14.

The four rooms together hold up to 22 players at once. That makes this address practical for a school class, a large birthday or a team outing: everyone meets in one place and the group splits across the rooms. If you book three or more rooms at the same time, you get an individual offer. Details are on the corporate events page.
