Mark as done to rate

You grew up doing what you had to – being along on the street teaches you to have sticky fingers after all. Taking what you need and leaving without a trace has become second nature for you. It’s a life that no one wants to lead and if you survive – you’d want to put it behind you. You were one of the lucky ones. You found love, settled down and started a family. Life was good… until your past catches up to you. A rich kid that used to bully you has become a shady merchant working with the mafia. He accuses your son of possessing gems in one of his shops. You know for a fact that he planted it on him, but you have no concrete evidence. With your son’s trial happening tomorrow, you have no choice but to dust off your thieving gear and pull off one last heist to the merchant’s mansion to find your evidence.

Decent (single) room. Loved the immersion, really felt like you were in the room in the thunderstorm. As with all rooms at this location there is a large reliance on 4 number and letter locks, and are fairly linear. And the puzzles you manipulate (often just sheets of laminated paper) are in much need of repair. Bring a small group here, since it’s only one room. A bit confusing clues in this one, but in general it was a fairly easy room Having only one staff run all of the rooms there can mean getting help is rough. You do have an iPad that will give one hint for a puzzle or the full solution.

A single room experience. Nice immersive environment, but like all their games it is played in the dark, and you have to carry a light stick and tablet around with you. More reading than you will want. We could hear stressed out people screaming and breaking glass in the adjoining space, which was very disturbing.

Gameplay

Game play primarily consisted of sitting at a table reading stuff in poor light. Which honestly sitting was perfect after a long day of sightseeing, but not what you want from an escape.

Particularly interesting or different

Nice looking room, maybe. Too dark to be sure.

Story

There was a lot to read. Maybe there was a story in all that.

Difficulty

Easy

They are not busy during workdays, and I think they'll let you play as long as you want, since they are not really paying attention.

Game tech

Mechanical

Ideal number of players

Once you sit down, you'll be happy you brought someone else to fetch things for you.
