80’s fun! Loved the story and the theming! Lots of cute puzzles with some unique moments. If you love 80s rock, arcade games, pop culture, or just having fun you’ll love this game! Great for a small group too.

Usually not a fan of bonus puzzle or non traditional games but I LOOOVED this room. Incredible set. Fun mixture of puzzles. seemingly endless things to do. My team of 3 only missed a few puzzles but the moderator was kind enough to show us the solutions to get the full experience. A huge group could fit in here easily. Get your German ready. One critique is I wish we were told how much loot we left with. The dollar amount would be fun.

Loved the cute and whimsical theming of this room! Big fan of cute games that are more enjoyable than stressful and this is the perfect example. We were a team of 3 and felt it was a perfect sized group. They also told us they can adjust the game to be a little more difficult which they did for us, so worth letting them know if you’re experienced!

Uh… why don’t I hear about this game more often? My wife and I played this one today and it was so much fun. Felt like being in a movie. Fresh take on a classic theme. Pulled off this wild bank heist. Now I’m scared to go out in public, afraid I may have committed a crime today. What if it really was a bank? What if it was all real? I wouldn’t be surprised. The atmosphere is that believable. The actions you take in the room overall fit the story and theme. The puzzles all made sense. My one gripe is something (an entire puzzle basically) is used twice. They didn’t say “one and done” but let’s just make it a universal escape room thing unless otherwise stated, deal? Besides that, perfection. Every minute was fun. Our game moderator, Eric, had a great energy and was super attentive. Really made us have a better experience just by how engaging and passionate he was.

Always a fan of whimsy and this nails it! Beautiful set with cool reveals. Played with a group of 3 and did well, but a few more people would have helped. Clearly a passionate game designer with an intricate, sometimes confusing but still cool, storyline. There’s great memorable moments in here.

I am a Mad Rapper Stan. Everyone should play this game, right now. The story informs every aspect of the game. The designer’s love for hip hop and art are palpable in every moment. It’s just an all around great time.

This game is pure joy from start to finish! Had us all laughing throughout the whole game. Definitely not the most difficult game as far as escape rooms go, but gives space for exploration and good old fashioned PLAY. Could see this room being fun for kids too.

Sure, sure, this room is a little on the “easy” side. But it’s also whimsical, enchanting, magical, surprising, and FUN. If you turn off your weird enthusiast brain that says “me need hard room. Me need brain ache,” you can just slow down and enjoy this game. It’s truly special. I would pay to play it again just to look around again.

Have not played headcase yet but if it’s an upgraded version of this game, IM SO EXCITED. Patient 17 was my favorite game here, despite all the (deserved) hype of whitmore estate. Love the spooky vibe, the storyline, and the puzzles that fit into the theme from start to finish. I played this game in 2019 and I still think of specific moments in this game with a smile. A wicked smile because woah this game was just the right amount of spooky.
