A game of two halves - a short escape, then a collection-style room.

Good heist game with plenty of different puzzles and great hosting from Ben. Plenty to do in the hour and good value for money

The actual escape element only took us about twenty minutes but then we had a bank to rob! We really enjoyed this game and it had a mix of linear and none linear puzzles which lent themselves to different members of our team.

We attempted this as a two. You’ll pretty much get the full hour because the escape section takes around 20-30 mins and the rest is grab the loot. Not too much search and find, lots of standalone puzzles that require decoding/logic/cypher - it definitely suits the more mathematical brain (hence us!). A lot of the puzzles work best with two heads (either in two places for communication or read and transcribe), but if we’d stuck to that we’d have never gotten all the gold! This would also be family friendly (no jump scares or scary bits). Really enjoyed the room and looking forward to playing their others.

Gameplay

2 distinct sections, a linear bit and a non-linear bit. All tied in with the well-used bit appropriate heist theme.

Atmosphere

Simplistic but perfectly appropriate. Unusually for an escape room, there was plenty of light and decent space. The Bank counter was very realistic. Safe deposit boxes and interface were a nice touch and worked well.

Customer service

John was very welcoming and judged our game nicely.

Story

It’s a well trodden path the bank heist theme, but this is a great example of it.

Bank Heists are not a new theme, but rarely have I enjoyed one as much as this. This is a delightful game that plays incredibly smoothly and with a range of puzzles. The first part is a relatively normal linear game but the game changes and becomes a puzzle fest of how much can you steal. Theming is simple but effective, puzzles vary in difficulty (I would argue even one of the decryption tools is a puzzle!). Nothing here will probably surprise you but this is a great game for both beginner and experienced player. Our GM was Adam who expertly nudged back on course and was great throughout. As others have said, this feels a but like an undiscovered gem when compared to its more well known games in Derby but it well worth a visit, we had a great time.
