TLDR - Old school escape room with solid puzzles, great introductory room if you've not done an escape room before.

Overall Thoughts
Mr Borrowdales Study is a single room escape based in Durham city centre, running on the theme of breaking into the study of a sinister resident you have to escape before Borrowdale returns. Although this is a single room escape the puzzles keep you busy and interested enough to not notice the time passing by.
There is a large variety of puzzles within this game including some puzzles that combine a multitude of puzzle types.
The set design certainly sets the mood that you're in a study but could be more immersive, understandably this room is changed out every year for Christmas and set design is accounted for because of this.
Super attentive GM with the understanding of the right amount of clue to progress.
Great introductory room if you've not done an escape room before.
