This Edinburgh escape room is amongst the best in the world

Looking for a real challenge in 2019? This Edinburgh escape room is one of the best in the world.

The "Secret Lab" is run by Locked In Edinburgh, and takes place at the Summerhall venue near the Meadows.

It emerged as number 13 out of more than 21000 escape rooms around the world, in rankings chosen by a panel of enthusiasts.

It is the only UK escape room to make the list, compiled by the Top Escape Rooms Project.

Launched in January 2017, the Secret Lab has proved a hit with fans.

It's described as being a "challenging room with a lot of puzzles" and its degree of difficulty is listed as four out of five.

The room is themed as a Cold War research laboratory, and participants must solve a series of puzzles in order to make their way out.

The Locked in Edinburgh website says: "Situated in Edinburgh, smack in the middle of an old veterinary hospital so not to raise suspicion, the lab was designed around the research and creation of vaccines and viruses.

"The mastermind behind the project was Professor Lyall Kensie, a brilliant bio-chemist .

"Do you have what it takes to discover what lies within The Secret Lab today?"
