Puppet Heist: The Hand Of Life

The room overall was fun and the design really puts you right in the middle of the story. However, there were multiple puzzles that just didn’t make sense to us and things we never even used. To me, red herrings just simply do not need to exist in escape rooms and this seemed to have multiple. It was a cute experience and we felt it was just okay.

I really, really enjoyed this room. The gameplay was awesome and technologically impressive and the story was very unique. It was a more advanced rooms, there were some aspects that you thought you might utilize that you don’t have to and I love that about a room. You definitely need to look around every single part and inspect everything. This room does have some audio clues (characters speaking) that only play once so if someone is hearing impaired, I would definitely mention it to the host before hand.

The room was large and looked great, I also appreciate the unique nature of this room and the novel (puppet related) way you need to “solve” some of the puzzles. I wanted to love this room, I really did, but I found it less enjoyable, even frustrating at times, compared to the other rooms I’ve played at the Bureau. I found that there were a few leaps of logic when it came to advancing the story or completing the puzzles. At times, my team wasn’t quite sure what needed to be completed next or even what we were attempting to achieve. I don’t think it’s a bad room, but there are a LOT of great rooms in Orlando and this one missed the mark a bit for me. Also, our experience with the staff was a little cold compared to other ER places. We were sort of left alone in a large waiting area for a long time, eventually did the room and then were sent on our way. It didn’t exactly leave us eager to return.

The most unique game I have ever played!! Fantastic storyline that really gets you into the story as well as fantastic set design! One thing I will say, is that some things were a bit confusing when trying to solve, but our Gamemaster was there to help every step of the way and once given the correct direction helped us succeed!

Loves this room. Never been to this location and this was a treat. The room was super immersive from start to finish. A lot of new concepts for an escape room we never experienced before. We liked not knowing the time elapsed , made the experience way better and less stressful.

This room was magical, The Bureau truly invests in immersing their players and I honestly couldn't get enough of their experiences. Puppet Heist was joyous, clever, and offered unique challenges great for escape room enthusiasts of all experience levels. I highly recommend this room, it's such a treat. PS - They sell beer AND allow it in the rooms, c'mon, that's incredible

One of the most fun games I’ve played. Thought it would be dumb with the puppet…boy was I surprised by how fun the puppet was. This game was interesting, immersive, and exciting. It sucks you in.

1 of a kind! Will def come back for more. The place is amazing and grand, plus I can't wait to try their "lock in at the Y" style overnight 4-game midnight run. Just such a great time, was an outstanding concept with "Muppet-verse" and uses for Melvin. Would love to do adult rated language version :D

High tech, fun, not scary, and a super unique gameplay in the sense that… I can’t tell you that. But you’re not alone! Let Melvin help you, your lovely blue companion ❤️

This room was unlike any of the other 30+ rooms I’ve done. Excellent use of characters and tech. Highly recommend. But probably most suitable to a group of 4 (we had 9). Not as many things to solve or figure out as some escape rooms.
