Bank Heist

6/10, this room was fun but was quite difficult for the 3 of us, we didn’t bother with the side quest.

Incredible room, flowed really well and had great attention to detail. Room was very puzzle dense, giving us lots to do for the time we were in there and all puzzles were great. The owner, Mark, was amazing and was lovely to chat with. Highly recommend!

9/10 Great set design and absolutely loved playing realistic escape type activities. Score sheet was cool to look through.

Very excited but nervous heading back to Social Escape for Bank Heist, said to be notoriously difficult! We ended up having a real blast of a time. The bank vault theming was superb and the puzzles were challenging and creative, full of hi-tech and traditional padlock fun. For those concerned about the difficulty, it isn’t really that bad if you just focus on the main challenge — it’s the optional side quest puzzles that make it so impossibly hard to complete 100% and grab the $100 reward. We had a great time and liked this one possibly even more than the excellent Ransom. Will definitely be back again!

Very enjoyable room. I’d highly recommend it if you have not done it. We were visiting Sydney for the weekend and glad we got to end our trip with this room. The set design is next level. The optional quest at the end added a whole other level of tension to the room and really tested our teams skills.

Outstanding room! In every way. Do this room!

Personally I think this one is the weakest of the escape rooms at this place. It is REALLY hard and a lot of the puzzles still don't make sense to me. Overall still a good room but definitely not my favourite. They give you a piece of paper with stats of your playthrough and how you stacked up to others and when you solved specific puzzles.

What. A. Room. From the great flow of puzzles to the impressive vault door itself, the ‘Bank Heist’ was easily my favourite heist game. The bonus challenges were tricky, but very, very cool! We had the chance to see the breakdown of our experience graphed out against the average group entering into Bank Heist. It was a unique and fascinating opportunity to dig down into the data of the game. Mark, Social Escape Rooms’s creator, took the time to run through other puzzles and was so, so kind. It was great to talk escape rooms with such a passionate designer. I’m looking forward to returning to Social Escape next time I’m in Sydney to play more rooms!

We really enjoyed this game! A stand out was being provided with a statistical breakdown of our progress in the room and a magnet for escaping. I personally wasn’t a huge fan of the additional tasks that you could complete if you had extra time available as I felt it took away from the storyline of the room. The productive value of this room was fantastic!

Lordy. A challenge from start to finish and beyond, there is so much to work through it is almost unfathomable. An interesting stream of puzzles that relate to the story and finale and then a bonus challenge to solve all of the “optional” puzzles which was nearing on another room in itself. Strictly focusing on the traditional part of the room it was challenging with a variety of puzzles to keep you always occupied and engaged.
