The Anatomist Escape Room
Unearth a grave history in 19th Century Edinburgh
The year is 1829 and the city is fast becoming a leading centre for medical learning.
Anatomical teaching relies on fresh ‘cadavers’ which are always in short supply. Grave robbery is rife and there have even been recent cases of murder for dissection…
You receive a letter from Mr Patterson, assistant to the eminent anatomist Dr Malcolm.
He tells of a terrible incident that took place at the hands of his master the previous night. He urges you to visit the study and find Dr Malcolm’s journal which contains evidence of the crime.
You have just one hour before Dr Malcolm returns from lecturing at nearby Surgeons’ Hall, and he won’t take kindly to uninvited guests…

- Age limit is 12+ and each group must contain one adult (18+)
- Wheelchair accessibility: please let them know at time of booking
