Sherlock Holmes Escape Book: The Adventure of the London Waterworks: Solve the Puzzles to Escape the Pages - Softcover
Book 1 of 4: The Sherlock Holmes Escape Book
Synopsis
You are Sherlock Holmes… at home at 221b Baker Street, when a mysterious letter is posted through your door. What is the meaning of the message cut from newsprint? Is there a clue hidden in the letters? Could there be more to discover in the fog-bound alleys of London town?
This ingenious series is a spin on the urban craze for ‘Escape Rooms’, in which participants are locked in rooms, and must solve the puzzles they find there to make good their escape.
Here, the book becomes the locked room, the pages become the path, and the reader can take on a challenge every bit as brain-teasing from the comfort of their own home.
Visual clues are hidden among the intriguing illustrations; fiendish riddles, logic puzzles, and timed challenges unlock hidden doors and reveal the direction of travel; and mathematical problems provide the codes required to follow the correct path.
There are maps and mazes to explore; references to the original Sherlock Holmes adventures to unravel; and a code-wheel that holds the key to unlocking the next page.
Solve the puzzles correctly to escape. Get them wrong, and you will find yourself further and further along the path to your own demise.
This book combines:
- Riddles
- Logic Puzzles
- Timed Challenges
- Mathematical Brainteasers
- Maps and Mazes

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This innovative new title is the first in a series of Escape Books: a unique, new form of puzzle book, in which the reader must solve the puzzles to escape the pages. Inspired by the urban craze for Escape Rooms, where players tackle challenges while trapped in a locked room, this is an Escape Room in the form of a book: filled with codes, ciphers, riddles and red herrings, plus an ingenious Code Wheel set into the cover. Taking on the role of Sherlock Holmes, readers find themselves caught in Professor Moriartys fiendish trap after being lured to the London Waterworks. They must find the messages hidden within the pages; plot routes through timed challenges and mazes; search for clues in the illustrations; and use the Code Wheel to decipher the secret code of the mysterious Dancing Men. Their ability to solve the many puzzles will determine their route through the book. Only by unravelling the story and collecting the hidden clues will they discover the key to their freedom. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR009994724
