The Bank job

This room was a linear lock and key room with very few creative puzzles to keep the momentum up or stakes high. The initial entrance was cool and the multi-room elements fun but felt like it lacked creativity and was from a previous era of escape games.

Mostly linear room which meant there was plenty of standing around time for most of the group. We did this room with 6 but the space made it really hard to do really anything. 4 is probably a better size or really just 2. This is a fairly long room (as in, number of steps to get through) but given the linearity and the size constraints of the space, more people didn’t help and we ended up mostly just side chatting. This is also a room where they rely heavily on “everything being dim” to be a primary challenge to completing things which is just annoying. I did like the level of story drive to the flow of the room but that wasn’t enough to overcome the other factors.
