The Deacon’s Cabinet Escape Room

Can you outsmart the original Jekyll & Hyde?

It’s October 1788, and as the city assembles to witness the hanging of a thief, you have other ideas…
‍
For Deacon Brodie is no common criminal – master craftsman and pillar of the establishment – his crimes and double life are only now beginning to emerge.

Unfazed, you use the grim spectacle as cover to sneak into the Deacon’s workshop in search of an ill-gotten fortune. What treasures must lie within his infamous cabinet?
The authorities failed to unlock its secrets… can you?

This historical heist escape room will challenge your team to uncover the enthralling tale of Edinburgh’s favourite villain and the real-life inspiration for Jekyll & Hyde.

What our customers say…

The views from the top of Scott monument was breathtaking. I would not have gone up without the pass. Would recommend as an easy and affordable way to enjoy Edinburgh.

We got the Edinburgh city pass for 2 days while we were up there for a mini holiday, and were really impressed with how many attractions it included, and for a great price. Well worth getting and planning your trips and attractions.

Edinburgh city pass is a must do for anybody wanting to get the most out of a short holiday in Edinburgh. It’s easy to use too. It was all electronic and I could just whip out my phone for the staff at the each venue for them to scan it.
