Escape Room Treasure Hunt: Become A Member Of The Scotland Yard Detectives At The Alchemist’s Lab – Adelaide Fringe Review

Gluttony – The Alchemy Lab, Sun 14 Mar As you step into an old transportable building nicely tucked away in Gluttony you are transported to 1899 where you find yourself in the middle of Dr Devon Melton Plumbum’s laboratory. As junior members of the ‘Scotland Yard Detectives’ it is your job to set upon Dr. Plumbum’s laboratory and solve the riddle of how and why he has concocted a formula to change lead into gold and where his secret stash of gold is hidden. On entering the laboratory your senior detective gives you a rundown of Dr. Plumbum’s history and the events leading up to “present day”. In order to pass you must work together to solve the puzzles that he has put in place to protect his most prized possessions, and all within 60 minutes. The room has been decked out with antique and period pieces that really set the mood and as you scurry along on your task you can see how easy it is to get swept away in it all. There is a vast array of locked chests and draws to be unlocked, some using keys (that are so obviously placed you don’t even see them) and some using numbers and letters that you must decipher. While this task can sometimes seem impossible, once you’ve cracked the code your sense of achievement is quickly overrun with amazement of how clever this whole scenario actually is. Once your 60 minutes starts and you find your first clue and open your first safe it is impossible not to be drawn into this adventure. Every effort has been made to replicate the era Dr. Plumbum worked in and the way in which the clues and messages are set out is astounding. If you’re after a challenge and a jolly good time The Alchemist’s Lab is the place to be!
