Meets the excellent standard of a great escape room. Great time for a group of 8 in a difficult but solvable room (for 20% apparently!).
We did the Western Bank Heist over the holidays. Apparently their hardest, we were able to find this last minute reservation a couple days in advance. We had a couple other people with their own reservation, but I think they were a little far gone at the end of the night. Don't worry if that's you - there's a button you can press for any emergency or even the bathroom to leave!
Don't really want to spoil the premise, but in our scenario to escape you need certain items. And in classic escape room fashion, solving one riddle usually led to another one. We had a good flow going, but for anyone you needs it you can get hints - of course their eyes and ears are on you the entire hour. Really cool system - one of the mirrors actually doubled as a TV for typed hints. With a little boost on the most embarrassing ones to miss, we were able to get out with less than five minutes to spare!
Definitely think it's best when you barely make it out.Without the hints, we probably would have failed - but for 8 in a room for 12 I don't feel as bad. Kind of sad we did the most intriguing one first, but if they have another theme in the future we'll be sure to try it.
