Magic Heist

Magic Heist adds another great game to 60 To Escape’s collection. Although there is not as much story as other of 60 to escape’s rooms it more than makes up for it with a really good looking set and fun and original puzzles.

Fun, just pure Fun! 60 to escape has another winner on their hands with Magic Heist. The puzzles were the star of the show, delivering a buffet of enjoyable and non-linear puzzles throughout. The set was also of a very high quality before you even step into the actual room! Also, the room flowed great! They struck a perfect difficulty level that is enough to keep you engaged but not frustrated. Usually escape rooms have some dud puzzles that leave you saying “that’s a stretch”, but no puzzles of that nature will be found here. To be honest I expected some more surprises and shocking moments throughout just based on the theme, but you will still be entertained. It is a very well executed escape room, but it just feels like 60 to escape played it safe. This company is at their best when they integrate compelling storylines with memorable in-game characters. Minor nitpicks are the only negative thing I can say about this great game! It is a heist so it’s a little light on the story but it’s what they were going for so it works. Usually I think 2-3 people is perfect for an escape room, but here 4-5 could easily be warranted. Overall, a very good room and my highest rated 👍 on morty.

Spotlights please! This was an excellent room! I loved the magic theme, and by “magic” I mean magician and not wizard/Harry Potter. The room, which is much bigger than I expected, legit looks like an office that a professional magician would have. Props, spotlights, and tools of the trade lovingly surround the room. It also doubles as a heist room, but the true highlight is all the references to the magic industry. Kinda wish there were more sleight of hand “wow” moments that I expected coming into it, but what IS there IS well-themed and exciting, nonetheless. We barely escaped as a team of 2, but bigger groups will likely get through the tricky non-linear room more swiftly. The room is well-designed to help players understand what they should be focusing on. Some inputs were a little tricky to figure out, though. And there is a part that may be hard for some people to process. But that’s enough revealing magician’s secrets! Another hit from 60 to Escape at their new, exciting Schaumburg location! Veni vidi vici!

Wow! Just wow! The set design and time spent making this game perfect is unmatched. So detailed and immersive. These puzzles were challenging and, at times, unexpected. You will love this room if you are a scenic snob or someone looking for a challenge.
