Sherlock Holmes Escape Book: Flying Scotsmen

Step into the shoes of the world’s greatest consulting detective in this immersive, interactive adventure. In The Adventure of the Two Flying Scotsmen, you aren’t just reading a mystery, you are the one solving it.

The year is 1890. Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson find themselves hurtling northwards on the legendary Flying Scotsman express. Initially lured by a tip-off about a plot against the Queen, they soon realise they’ve been led into a trap. The true scheme is far more scandalous: a high-stakes rail race between two rival locomotives has been rigged by a gang of ne'er-do-wells. At the centre of it all is the Prince of Wales, ‘Bertie’, whose secret debts and private affairs are about to be exposed to the public.

With anti-monarchists lurking in the shadows and the threat of a catastrophic derailment looming, you must navigate the carriages, outsmart the saboteurs, and reach York before the monarchy’s reputation is ruined forever.

A unique fusion of a classic novella and an escape room. Your progress through the story is determined by your ability to crack the codes.

Features a clever, integrated volvelle (code wheel) on the cover to help you decipher hidden messages and unlock the next chapter.

This 152-page paperback is enriched with atmospheric Victorian-style illustrations that pull you deeper into the foggy world of 221B Baker Street.
