Haven't you always wanted to rob a bank without consequences? Here's
your chance. As a member of an international professional bank robber gang,
your task is to crack the high-security safe in a bank without being noticed. You have already bribed the
guards and you are on the right track, but
the guards only gave you a window of 60 minutes to do the job and
escape.

Escape room

A good heist-themed escape room! We really enjoyed the 4 puzzles in the antechamber. It also has one of the better uses of a laser puzzle I've seen so far. The use of an actual hand-held smoke machine for spotting the lasers is the right kind of DIY-with-gadgets that a heist-themed room needs. I also liked that you only have to make a path through the lasers as much as you need to get a good look at the deactivation code, although it could definitely benefit from more space which would force one to make more calculated movements. The escape through the elevator's maintenance hatch is also very memorable!

We breezed very quickly through the antechamber puzzles, which made me excited that we were gonna make it into the hall of fame for this room. Unfortunately, like the clumsy piglets we are, we spent most of the spare time trying to power the smoke machine (we didn't find the Swiss power adapter in the bag, so we were trying to ram the plug in EU-style🇪🇺😎) and finding the USB cable entry points. Abstract magic square puzzles are a breeze but real world tasks are too much for the piglets🐷. Still, we managed to finish with 15 minutes to spare.

I liked this room better than their Submarine: better use of space and more engaging puzzles. Still, a few things could be improved. Contacting the GM by walkie-talkie just to input some codes instead of having an extra input device in the room kind of breaks the flow. Also, having two USB connections with one of them harder to find can make you think you're supposed to use the first one again. Changing one of the cables to USB-C could solve this confusion.

P.S.: we forgot to take a photo in the room, so we just took one at the nearby Hiltl. It's becoming a bit of a tradition for us to eat here after playing a room at The Escape
