How long does each event last?
Quick Answer
Well, if you are on par with Sherlock Holmes, you could wrap things up in 20 minutes and have enough time for a cup of tea. But if you have the detective skills of a garden gnome, you might never want to leave. Typically, though, the ordeal... I mean, delightful puzzle-packed event... lasts around 80 minutes. You've got 15 minutes to sign your life away at check-in, 60 minutes of clue-strewn chaos in the room, and a 5 minute wind-down to question all your life choices that led you here. But hey, it's all part of the fun, right?
