'Tis the season to escape! The snow's been falling, the stocking is up and the mystery is as intriguing as ever...

Gather your team of family, friends or colleagues and head along to Edinburgh's 5-star rated historical escape room!

Set on the edge of Edinburgh's old surgical district, 'The Anatomist' is an escape game that invites you to descend into a world of grave robbery, mystery and malpractice as you enter the study of a 19th century anatomist...

How has Dr Malcolm been procuring bodies for dissection? What research takes place here late into the night? And what terrible 'crime' did Mr Patterson witness that caused him to flee in fear?

Dr Malcolm's journal will reveal all, if you can find it before he returns…

See, feel and even smell Edinburgh’s dark past with this multi-award winning, 5 Star rated attraction.

The experience last approximately 1 hour. For groups of 2-8 people. Suitable for adults and children 12+.

The Anatomist is an award winning escape room from Escape The Past - currently rated as Edinburgh’s #1 fun activity on TripAdvisor!
