The third title in this ingenious series of Sherlock Holmes Escape
Books, The Adventure of the Analytical Engine is an exhilarating
combination of escape room, puzzle book and adventure story.
Inspired by the urban craze for escape rooms, where players tackle
puzzles while trapped in a locked room, it is an escape room in the form
of a locked book, filled with codes, ciphers, riddles and red herrings,
and a clever Code Wheel set into the cover. Taking on the role of
Sherlock Holmes, in this new adventure readers find themselves trapped
with Watson and aspiring engineer Henrietta Prince in the grand home of
Bertram Alfreds, the last surviving child of Lord Byron. After being
lured to the residence by an intriguing mechanical music box, Holmes and
Watson must find their way through the mansion, foil a deceitful plot to
destroy Henrietta's lifelong work - a replica of Babbage's Analytical
Engine - and fathom the involvement of Moriarty, if they are to win
their freedom and save the day.
Combines riddles, logic puzzles, timed challenges, mathematical
brain-teasers, maps and mazes.
