In 2014, some guys from Sherlock LLC consisting of set builders, storytellers and engineers, brought the game concept of Room Escape to Basel. In extensive work, with a lot of passion, and with the latest technologies, we have created a world of outstanding experience at the highest level in a great scenery.
For the operations on site, we can count on the support of our game masters, several creative and diligent minds, every day.
Sherlock also provides various services in the field of Virtual Reality, Real Life Experiences, and Machine Learning. We deliver every block from the first sketch of the idea to the final implementation,
Besides opening our Escape Bar, we’ve also been busy creating our new family-friendly escape adventure.
Hildegard’s Secret, a production featuring our long-standing house ghost (whom we’ve been introducing to guests for years), now has its very own stage—and she guides our adventurous visitors on a quest of her own.
Venturing into new territory, we made the quick decision to open our very own Escape Bar. In just four intense months, we renovated and built another unique spot in Basel.
Housed in a historic bank building that still has its original safe, our bar is located right across the street at Voltaplatz. Come enjoy one of our signature cocktails, each specially crafted for one of our escape rooms.
We offer a variety of tabletop and board games—both new and classic—that you can enjoy free of charge with friends and family at our bar.
After almost one year of development we opened the “The last journey of the Nautilus” our escape experience in the world of captain Nemo.
After years of using our Voltplatz location as both a venue and an office, we eventually outgrew the space and moved to a new location offering more room and an expanded workshop for creating our immersive experiences.
This move also gave us the opportunity to enlarge our Pfeffergasse and build an additional room dedicated to introductions and storytelling.
We open the Holodeck – the platform for Virtual Escape Gaming.
Equipped with VR glasses, you will find yourself on a mission in the virtual reality.
A must-have-done!
After half a year of development the scenario “Dragon’s Castle” has been launched. The scenario convinces with its effects and the impressive scenery. This mission gets under your skin…
Together with the Basel Historical Museum, we are launching a riddle hunt through the Haus zum Kirschgarten – a novelty in northwestern Switzerland.
Acting on behalf of a British family member, the teams embark on a secret mission to find some missing treasures. Will you be able to solve the puzzle?
The construction works of our “Creative Lounge” are finished. Find yourself in an inspiring scenery to exchange, chat or just be and think…
The scenario of “Operation: Delta Starfire”, at location Voltaplatz, opens its doors and catapults you on a mission in the year 2081!
The Riddle Box of “Almost Married” defines a new and creative possibility for entertaining your wedding guests – in the middle, of course, stands the bridal couple.
Together with the scenario of “The Curse of Yama”, our second location at Voltaplatz is opened after more than a year of construction work.
The new location sets the threshold of riddle rooms regarding experience and effects and convinces with its breath-taking scenery.
The 2 mobile riddle boxes “Poisoned” enter the market. The riddle experience can now be taken at any location.
In the dual mode, two groups can play against each other. Who rescues the poisoned person first?
The second scenario, “The Art Gallery” is opened. As the first one, it is also located in the Warteck building. The people are sent to a mission to find one of the most valuable diamonds in the world – “The Eye of Horus”
The scenario has been dismantled in June 2018.
The founding of the Sherlock LLC in April leads us to the beginning of the construction work in the former brewery Warteck.
The first game in “The Library” takes place in August. At that time, Room Escape Basel is the only Escape Room provider in the surrounding of Basel. Throughout Switzerland, only three other scenarios exist.
The “Basler Original” is still visited frequently.
