Our game master Ronak made the Anatomist fantastic. This is the only escape room we did on our holiday but after the extensive reviews of rooms across the city, this is the one we decided to do. I’m confident that it was the right choice. For our group, which had veterans and newcomers alike, the difficulty was juuuuust right and the history-rooted theme made everything feel unique. Fantastic. Thank you all for hosting us!

Went here during our stay at Edinburgh at the beginning of August. Having some experience myself in hosting at escape rooms, our host Ronak did an excellent job at receiving us, guiding us through The Anatomist, and getting into his role. The room itself was well-decorated in the style of the theme and the puzzles were very enjoyable to solve. Thank you for the fun experience, Escape The Past! Team Willibrords & de Paauw
