Most have heard of David Copperfield and some know of Doug Henning but very few people know the closely guarded secret of Gizmo the Great, the Master Magician of the 1970s. Every great magician has a special creative spark, which they use to develop the most awe inspiring illusions. For those who lack creativity, these secrets can be acquired at a hefty price through the black magic market. You are part of an aspiring team of magicians that sadly lack any imagination, and posses even less money. Fortunately, you discovered the secret of Gizmo the Great and came by some elusive intel detailing his home address. You've also managed to confirm that his infamous 'Book of Tricks' is secured somewhere within. The Magic Circle is hosting an exclusive event that Gizmo is attending. You have a maximum of one hour to infiltrate his home and steal his Book of Tricks, allowing you to become the greatest magic troupe of all time.

This was our second eeek! room and I understand why it was a TERPECA nominee! To me, this is second to the 90s-themed room but a very close second. I personally love colorful and bright rooms with more of a surrealist feel, and this definitely delivered on the theme! It was a very satisfying room to complete with a variety of different types of puzzles that can suit different players. Highly recommend!

I really enjoyed that there was a "pre-room" element!

This was such a great room and notably very spacious! Well-lit, colorful, and thematically decorated perfectly.

This was a very spacious set with enough elements that I think we could've had two more people with us easily.

Good amount to do and not terribly difficult- would be good for families : ) Didn’t find there to be any standout puzzles, but the beginning did have a bit of a different start from your average escape room which I thought was fun.

Well thought out rooms, with fab decor, some brilliant and original puzzles and electronics I've never seen before in our travels. Family of 5 (3 teenagers) there was plenty to keep us all busy. The Magician's Heist was one of my favourite all-time games ever (probably due to my love of magicians too!) Highly recommended and definitely worth a visit

We had visited Eeek at their site in Linlithgow a few years ago and had a brilliant time, so we were very excited to see their new Glasgow site open. Magician’s Heist might be one of my favourite escape games ever, the theming was immersive, the puzzles were original, there was even an interesting way of entering the room! You can tell that a lot of love has gone into the rooms at Eeek, the rooms look amazing, all of the puzzles and units in the room are well crafted, even the clues that we were given were themed beautifully.

Our Games Master was lovely, she was obviously paying attention to our game and gave clues when she thought we needed a wee nudge in the right direction.

Colourful and exciting non-linear room! The room plays homage to a lot of magicians over the years and integrates some of that into puzzles. There’s something for everyone with a wide range of skills and experience levels in the puzzles. The beginning of the room was once I’ve never experience before and absolutely loved! The owners are lovely and great to chat to about other rooms being enthusiasts themselves.
