So, during our self-isolation during COVID-19, The Escape Room Guys co-wrote and did the puzzles for a Sherlock-themed puzzle book, containing puzzles that you'll often find in escape rooms (and sanctioned by the Conan Doyle Estate as an official Sherlock project).

It's for all levels of puzzle solvers (there is a hint system in the back) and has a pick your own path type of structure.

For more information about the book and how it came to be, links on how to buy it, and how to enter an upcoming contest for a chance for a free book, check out the link below.

So, give us some love and share this post on your timelines!

Did Jason find Jack the Ripper's true identity in Illinois, or did Mike let the Ripper escape and now all of his crimes will remain unsolved forever?
