Team Building Activities in London

Round up your most daring detectives and head to 221b for a day of puzzles, clue-solving, and team building. To spark some friendly rivalry, we will split your group into teams of 6 and enter tournament mode at our Sherlock-themed immersive escape experience. You’ll need to work together to beat out the competition and save the day before time runs out. When the game ends, you can head to our secret speakeasy to compare notes and the winners will be awarded a prize, (and bragging rights).

"My team members and I had a fantastic afternoon cracking codes and taking part in fun activities with the help of Sherlock and co! The immersive experience started at the front door of 'Doyle's Opticians' and continued until we left! Stamford and her team were entertaining and welcoming and ensured that we were fully briefed. Would highly recommend applying to be an Agent, you won't be disappointed! 😊"

"I visited the Sherlock escape room with 4 of my colleagues as a team building exercise and I am pleased to say we managed to beat the room! No specific knowledge about Sherlock or any topic is required, however Easter eggs and certain clues do mean more to those who are fans of the show. The rooms are spectacular, kitted out with props, artwork and actual video messages from the actors. I highly recommend for any escape room enthusiast/Sherlock fan/work group."

"This attraction is one of the best team building activities I've been to recently. Located right opposite Shepherd's Bush station, it has events spaces if you want to combine a meeting with the escape room activity and you can also have parties in the evenings. The activity itself is a series of code breaking sequences which lead you to the next phase all with one hour to complete the entire puzzle. Sherlock, Moriarty and Mycroft chip in along the way and it's huge amounts of fun. Highly recommended."

"We sent 48 of our team to The Sherlock Experience as a treat and the it was enjoyed by all. The booking experience was smooth and efficient with the help from Ben, the day ran like clockwork apart from a technical fault which meant some groups were held up around 20 mins (the staff were great at keeping everyone entertained) and the experience itself was like none other. The props, clues and sheer size of the experience impressed all and I would definitely recommend to any other business looking for a team building activity/treat."
