Permanently Closed - Attn. Agent, your mission should you choose to accept it: pull off the ultimate museum heist. A priceless Monet painting has recently gone missing from the Barclay Museum of Historical Art. We have reason to believe it’s been nabbed by the museum’s curator, Vincent Hahn. Your mission — slip through the museum galleries undetected, break into Hahn’s office, recover the painting, and high-tail it out of there before he returns! The Heist is the second escape room we released and it still remains one of our most popular games to this day!

6 escape rooms

We escaped, yes, but it was difficult to solve this together with strangers. More and more, I’m going to make it a point to support businesses that offer private rooms only.

A well-crafted set can't save this room from some bad puzzle designs and an overdone story with little uniqueness to it. There were a couple puzzles that made little to no sense to me in their design choice, and I found myself questioning choices in the room way more than appreciating them.

This is a simple and fun room that would be good for inexperienced players. I had fun and enjoyed the art theme but it was just a little too easy. I think someone who’s done less rooms would enjoy it more than I did.

Loved the variety of puzzles, both technical and mechanical. Really dislike the fact that the reservation isn’t private. We were a party of 3 but when we got there, 4 other people (3 of them children) had signed up. Seven was too many.

Some good puzzles, good theme but some puzzles could have been executed differently to be more interesting. But we enjoyed it with my friend that he was visiting out of town

The first room in this multi room was very promising. It doesn’t look like an escape room until you really start exploring and finding hidden puzzles. Then it all goes downhill. The theme got a bit muddled. One of the puzzles wasn’t working. And our GM basically tried to walk us through the whole room step by step even though we said we didn’t want hints unless we asked. The company doesn’t make bad rooms, but this is our least favorite of the 6 or so we’ve played at The Escape Game.

I would recommend 4 people for non beginners. The puzzles were not the most inventive, but the production value is great and it flows well.

Gameplay

A little on the easier side, but good production value
