Theme

“In this adventure, we ask you to rob the crown jewels from the bank. We have hacked their security cameras, providing you a small window of opportunity. Find the clues and solves the puzzles to get one step closer to breaking into the vault! 60 minutes…the clock is ticking.”

Hosts

We had a very warm welcome from the front of house, she went through all of the usual briefing and took us down to our room to meet our host; each room had a dedicated host. Our bags were locked in a locker and we were ready to get started.

Room Set Up

The room size was good for the maximum size team which is advertised as 6 players. There are certain elements of the game where only 2 team members are required. The room set up was very sparse, poor lighting with minimal props to captivate you into the story.

Game Play

This was a very liner game which flowed well throughout. The game used mainly key and coded padlocks and a unusual opening system which was new to us. Puzzles consisted of skill and logic, with one physical element. For the two of us there was a average amount to do within the hour however a team of 6 may feel a little underwhelmed with a lack of tasks.

Clue System

Clues were given via a telephone system and delivered by your host. which is our preferred method

Our Overall Rating

Puzzles ★★☆☆☆

Immersion ★☆☆☆☆

Difficulty ★★★☆☆

Wow Factor ★☆☆☆☆

Overall Experience ★☆☆☆☆

This room was not our favourite by far, it lacked in all areas. This is a good room as a team building activity as they have 6 identical rooms which would enable up to 36 players to play simultaneously. If your a first time gamer you may like this room, although experienced players would leave disappointed.
