The House of Irene Adler is one of the latest pop up experiences in London that is available for a limited period. Created by Immer-City, they have been known to make other popular theatre & immersive shows over the years. These shows usually are to a larger group and split into smaller groups for a murder mystery, theatrical performance over a few hours. They use their interesting themes, characters and unique items to create an immersive story and production which you as a guest, become a part of.

Like most businesses, Immer-City was hit during the pandemic and this brought the creation The House of Irene Adler. This is a first for the company to make a private experience, compared to the usual larger groups and settings they have hosted in previously. 

Situated in London’s Kentish Town, this is a perfect private experience that links escape room elements within its immersive performance. 

Storyline & Theming: 7/10

The House of Irene Adler has a great story which is accompanied by even better theming. Following a Sherlock based story, you are there to help investigate and solve the mystery. You get to engage with many different characters and try to work out along with Sherlock what is actually going on. With many different suspicions and plenty of people who you could blame, the storyline develops and you get to know the truth about what happened. The theming was a great mix with some brilliant set pieces and very unique props. Some of them are even one of a kind. Keeping with the era, many of them are vintage and really fit in to keep the experience immersive. With the help of an actor, this keeps the story on track and constantly moving. Whilst you don’t really interact in person that much with this actor, they help set the scene and cause some very tense moments!
