Heist Havoc

My wife and I found "Heist Havoc" after doing some searching and I’m so glad that we did! Redacted Escape Rooms is an independent escape room company that just opened in October, and they've absolutely nailed it with their first room. We were super impressed. Without giving anything away, the finale was the coolest thing. It felt like we were in a high-production movie.

Their puzzle design is top notch! Great use of props, room decor, and deduction. My only complaint is that it wasn’t even longer. Recommend maybe 6 puzzlers, or up to 8 aimless friends

Go here!!! This was a top tier escape room. Having done well over 100 this is in my top ten! From the workers to the set to the easter eggs it was just an amazing experience. Go!

This might just be the best heist room I’ve ever done, and I’ve done over 400 escape rooms total at this point! Simply masterful. When I was given a briefcase full of spy gadgets prior to even entering the room, I just knew this room was gonna be on a whole another level. Figuring out where to use the gadgets made us feel both smart and cool. The tasks are authentic and the wow moments are peppered in jaw dropping ways. The technology is insane, and it makes every objective feel so real. It’s basically a spy movie video game come to life. And the puzzles are no joke. They’re very clever and not dumbed down, so use those premium 90 minutes well. Our team of 2 got out with 15 minutes to spare, and we loved every single minute! At one point, we literally even said, “This feels like a REAL museum heist!” And this is the company’s first room! I look forward to every room here going forward. Redacted has already stolen my heart, and it deserves yours!

My husband and I are escape room lovers through and through—honestly, we’re escape room junkies. 😄 We’ve played escape rooms all over the world and we’ve done nearly every local room around us… and I can confidently say this one ranks among the top experiences we’ve ever had. From the moment we walked in, we were stunned. Not “oh this is cute”… I mean jaw-on-the-floor stunned. The set design was next level—cinematic, immersive, and so beautifully crafted that it didn’t feel like an escape room… it felt like we stepped into an entirely different world. The atmosphere, the details, the aesthetics, the storyline—everything was so intentional and elevated. We literally kept pausing mid-game just to look around and take it all in because it was THAT impressive. And the puzzles?? Whew. Genius. Thoughtfully built, creative, and incredibly well put together. You can tell this wasn’t thrown together with a few locks and clues—this was masterfully engineered, advanced in the best way, and designed with real care and skill. The flow of the mission was so smooth and exciting that the entire experience felt like a high-end production… like we were living inside a movie. The staff truly sealed the deal too. They were welcoming, professional, and so friendly that we instantly felt comfortable—like we were longtime customers instead of first-timers. And what really stood out to me is that we were the last game of the night, but you would’ve never known it. They still had big smiles, great energy, and made the whole experience feel special from beginning to end. That kind of hospitality matters, and they absolutely delivered. Also… I loved that it had the perfect amount of physical movement. It wasn’t exhausting, but it wasn’t just standing around either. It kept the adrenaline going, added to the thrill, and made it feel interactive and real. I personally didn’t break a sweat, but my husband definitely did a little 😂—and honestly that’s part of the fun. The setup of this company is like no other! Redacted created a new formula for escape rooms that put them in a league of their own!!! And lastly the amount of time allotted is PERFECT!!!!!!! If you love escape rooms—if you’re the type who’s played a lot and you think you’ve “seen it all”—PLEASE come here. This isn’t just one of the best rooms locally… it’s one of the best we’ve experienced anywhere. 10/10. Elite. Unforgettable. A MUST-DO.

Great escape room, awesome theme! Awesome “Gadgets” Super Fun Finale.

I loved EVERYTHING about this game. You start with tools that will be useful in a Heist. That's such a simple idea, but so very immersive. It had fantastic attention to detail. The sets were so well done. There were straightforward puzzles, and others that required like 3 layers of work to solve. I'm so glad we discovered this new gem. Most of the best rooms (out of 87) I've done are in Orlando, where former Disney and Universal employees create rooms with theme park attention to detail. This room joins them. They have a customer for life as long as they continue to make new rooms. I just need to get a few more rooms under my belt before I could nominate and vote for them in TERPECA.

Highly recommend. You can see how much of a passion project the room is. For their first room they knocked it out of the park.

One of the best! Great variety of puzzles...and gadgets! Numerous moments of living out my childhood super spy dreams. Looking forward to the next from Redacted.

Fantastic room, easily one of the best in Milwaukee - the puzzles in particular. Everything worked and flowed perfectly, with a few delightful moments. Extremely fun time, great service, highly recommended!
