    "The Tenants" room, done with 5 people who had previously experienced about ten + escape rooms. Summary: Not an escape game. -Unappealing puzzles and progression. -Group-oriented setup, no personalization of the experience. -Driven towards consumption before being pushed towards the exit. -No game master, no hints -Only the actors and decorations save the situation. Let's say it plainly, this (at least this room) is not an escape game. It's an immersive experience with a score as the goal, yet even that remains unclear. The sense of progression within the room is quite poor, clearly too small for 5 players; there should be a limit of 4 to hope for a pleasant experience. Brightness often poses a major challenge, which doesn't provide a particularly stimulating endeavor. The puzzles tend to be repetitive, and solving one doesn't really give the impression of advancement. The most challenging puzzles will likely never be solved, and you'll move on to the next one with a sense of frustration. You'll understand that regardless of your actions, progress will occur, whether your group is skilled or not. on top of that, you don't have the option to get hints, you succeed or not, but you won't get anything, which can make the experience very frustrating in case of difficulties The story holds promise, but in reality, it's linear and hollow. The end is abrupt and lacks flavor; you go out to a bar where you have to wait 10 minutes to receive your score. You are subtly encouraged to drink something. The irony is that you will eventually be led out as other groups arrive after you. After ordering your not-so-cheap (still good) cocktail, it feels like a factory-like production line, where you have to move on at all costs or risk stopping the production line. It's impossible to obtain any explanation about your room, your experience, or understanding what you did right or wrong, as there's actually no game master. The actors, who are there to immerse you in the story, are coerced and compelled to manage entries, exits, and service, leaving no room for feedback. You exit with a score that you'll compare to the average score, without fully grasping what just transpired and with a sense of incompleteness, unable to improve or not, as you won't know any more than that. I do not recommend this room for anyone wanting a real escape room, it will nevertheless be ideal for an introduction to immersive experiences.

    I've been here 4 times over the years. Easily the best escape rooms in Malmö. The quality, actor & whole atmosphere is astounding. And also, the engineering, creativity and thought that go into each room is impressive. Update: I've done all the current games at Sherlocked, and tonight we did Jack. Wow, what an experience! Exhilarating and scary with easy enough puzzles that you can solve under immense stress. A good balance. Can truly recommend for the daring!

    We (2p) did the mini escape room called the Fortune teller. It was put together better than previous escape rooms we have done, but unfortunately one part didn't work. Still loved it though and the ambiance after walking the door is wonderful.

    Simply the best real life gaming experience I've ever had. An ever changing room line up, live actors, different levels of puzzles to solve and an excellent atmosphere. 10 out of 10 would recommend!!

    Amazing escape room with a different twist on "escape" part. We really enjoyed it, not too easy, not too complicated.

    One of the best escape rooms we have ever done. Staff and ambiance was amazing! The puzzles was challenging and gave a good sense of satisfaction. There was plenty of misdirection to distract you as well. We (4 people) did “The Landlady” and managed to get everything with a few minutes to spare.

    One of the best escape rooms I've ever been to. Very fun puzzles and live actors that really immerse you in the experience.

  • 1/5 Mikkel L. 8 months ago on Google
    It said it was going to take 45-60 minutes and without stressing we completed the tiny room with 4 chairs in 25 minutes. For a price of 250 sek per person. And the clues could only be used in order even if you found a clue and how to use it.

  • 5/5 Daniel H. 8 months ago on Google
    Loads of fun! The theme and setting is really immersive, the actors are really entertaining, the puzzles are superfun and even the cocktails are great! We did "The Landlady" and couldn't have been more pleased. Will definitely come back next time we're in Malmö. ❤️

    Really fun escape room with an unique experience. The atmosphere and the actors really bring the place together. Main unique part of this is not actually to be fast, as whatever you do you will not get out before the hour is over. Deffo will be back!

  • 4/5 Rasmus I. 2 years ago on Google
    Everything about the escape room and the experience in itself was awesome. Once you complete one of the two larger escape room experiences you arrive at a hidden bar which was cozy. I just wish they planned ahead a bit more since we barely got to finish our drinks there before we were asked to leave as the group after us werw arriving.

    Great actors. Great ambiance and stage building. The bar lounge was gorgeous and the added flatbread dinner was nice. We did the room with mrs Hudson, this edition it is timebased so we had two parts where we were waiting for the story to catchup, this was too bad since we needed that in the last part. The room was not about escaping but using the time most efficiently, this was a nice change. We would have also liked to discuss some of the puzzles with the crew but they said they didn't know them, maybe this was true but maybe it is because of the replay-ability since they change the rooms often. The puzzles themselves fitted the theme and had a nice flow. The souvenir you get is also great (without spoiling it :))

    It was a fun activity. Kudos to the across and all the staff there.

  • 4/5 Alessandro V. 2 years ago on Google
    Fun place, themed cocktail bar with escape rooms. Staff is super nice, the rooms fun and the flatbread smelled really good. Room for improvement: needs more alternatives to sweet/sour cocktails on the list, and the rooms could benefit from a game master to guide players so to avoid frustrating situations.

    Really charming and fun . The decorations are well done and it feels cozy. Nice selection of theme drinks. Tried the shorter fortune teller escape room which had a bit of horror tension. Really fun not too difficult.

  • 4/5 Antonia L. 2 years ago on Google
    We did one of the mini adventure rooms which was very fun. We have been to a few escape rooms before but this was different. The bar/restaurant is really nice with all the decorations and not to talk about the atmosphere. The staff is super friendly and we really look forward to come back to try the "Landlady"

👍👍 I played both rooms in an experienced team of 2. Anigma has very fresh and personal touches throughout the whole experience, and games are of good quality. We especially enjoyed the redemption robbery as it had some unique puzzles and the layout was super believable and exciting. The best thing here...
