The Great Escape by Summer Latham

Simon John Watson is an electrician by trade, but in recent years, he has created Red Herring Escape Rooms in Carlisle.

In 2018, Simon had been hired for his electrical skills in a large, unused industrial building in Denton Holme, Carlisle. During initial inspection, he had entered an area and within 2 steps froze... the idea came to him. After asking if the space was taken, his question was answered with a no and a why. Simon explained his idea of an escape room and explained the concept and within a month he had created walls and a room which we know today as Surelock Holmes. The state and feel of the building lent itself well to the next two rooms; The Asylum and War Room. Despite how fast it happened, he had no prior thoughts of creating an escape room but was looking for a creative outlet and loves puzzles. To this day he still hasn’t done one himself, so you can guarantee their originality. The rooms offer more than an escape room experience. By adding characters, storylines into each room you get a greater experience but also historical facts incorporated into his rooms adds an educational factor. As for the name, Red Herring was not his first choice. Originally, there were 8 or 9 names which he had chosen but none of which stood out and he did not feel a connection with any of them. After realising this, he asked himself “what is an escape room?” And after thinking he then asked “what do you not add to an escape room?” And with this, he thought a red herring. Simon sat with the name for two days and continuously thought about it and after these two days, he liked it. He then added to his market research by deliberately dropping the name “Red Herring” into conversations and looking for the reactions. After multiple positive reactions, the name stayed. Now based in Englishgate Plaza, Carlisle, Red Herring Escape Rooms currently contain 5 rooms, with the sixth to be launched very soon. The current 5 rooms range from family friendly to team building experiences with different difficulties between them. Surelock Holmes was the first room to be created. The scene is set in an Edwardian study in which you have to rescue Sherlock and the world from Moriarty’s fiendish plan. You will act as Doctor Watson and follow a series of clues to find out what has happened and escape! Mudley Quest has a magical element to it. An ancient spell has gone awry, releasing the power of the Dark Lord into Edema Hog, the village for wizardly folks. Your quest, if you choose to accept it, is to find the clues and spells to help you open the final chest and recover the goblet of time – where past, present and future
